Title: The Snake and the Eagle
Pairing: Future AdrianxBlaise
Fandom; Harry Potter
Disclaimer: I don't own HP franchise. If I did there would have been slash.
Summary: A bird may love a snake but where would they live? The only child of famous Veela model Gabriella Baianchessi, Blaise Zabini grows up mostly unloved, limited social interactions and distrustful of people and promises. Adrian Pucey grows up the pampered only child of neutral Slytherins Lord and Lady Pucey. Blaise's mother expects him to bond to the elder Greengrass heiress Daphne and become consort to the future Lady Greengrass. So her prospective grandchildren might be titled. Adrian's parents wish for him to bond to the beautiful Giselle Goyle. However, Blaise was born Veela therefore only one person can satisfy him and ground his magic. Will Blaise be able to open his heart and learn to trust or will he become an emotionless shell trapped in a loveless relationship?
Author Note: dedicated to Harmony Stanzer who plays Adrian on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry forum where I play Blaise. This idea sort evolved during our plotting the relationship between them. However there it is platonic...
BTW this tale is turning out to be a side-story/prequel to I did not sleep with that Wizard! Which works since Blaise and Adrian aren't getting as much attention there.
Chapter 10
The moment Dumbledore announced that the Triwizard Tournament would be held this year Blaise had already decided to host another betting pool.
Of course the news that one must be seventeen to participate didn’t bother Blaise at all.
His money was going on Adrian. After all Adrian would be seventeen at the end of the month.
Adrian had some of the best marks in his year; his name was going to be going in another betting pool he planned to host soon.
He wanted Adrian to be Head Boy…
He was going to open bets on that…
No one was really surprised last year the Heads had been Penelope Clearwater and Percy Weasley.
Smart money would be Adrian and Johnson from Gryffindor.
However, no one was happy that Quidditch was cancelled…
Least of all Adrian…
Blaise could see his pout from here…
Giselle Goyle had clearly progressed from mere friendship to infatuation with Millie.
It was probably mutual…
Maybe, Millie had a shot at being Prefect next year…
