Vanity and Pride by Ironic Inspiration
What is a story without a scandal?
Underneath every burn hole on the tapestry of the Black family tree, there is a story, and underneath every story, there is a scandal.
In 1924, the Blacks were the most powerful family of the Wizarding World. They were greedy, back-stabbing, malicious, and power-hungry. And Cedrella was no exception. She was her father's favourite daughter; the pride of the Blacks, and it has earned her a conceited nature like no other.
But during her seventh year at Hogwarts, her life begins to become a little more clear, her family a little more conniving. She is arranged to wed the infamous Abraxus Malfoy and has people watching her every move to make sure she follows through. It makes it even more difficult when Septimus Weasley, a blood traitor and fellow classmate, starts to convince her, that for once in her life, she could have what she wanted.
A scandal forms between the two; a forbidden love between Black and Weasley behind the walls of Hogwarts. If they are found out, their lives will be ruined. But even under the opposition, what a Black wants...
a Black gets.

Story Notes:I hope you all enjoy this story. I have done a lot of research on the Black family, and therefor, kept everything as cannon as possible. All the Black family members can be found on the family tree with their respective partners. Any mentioning of reasons why a member of the family was disowned is cannon, as well. I added some minor characters to keep things interesting.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or the Black family.
