Pairing: AdrianxBlaise, MilliexOFC,

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?

Adrian was very surprised when Uncle Chad appeared just as they were finishing breakfast.

“Uncle Chad? Is something wrong?” Adrian asked rising.

“Don’t get up on my account, I’ll just have some coffee. I do have to head to the Ministry this morning; Duty you know.” His godfather said stiffly. “I was just asking if you were serious about serving as Brecc’s witness.

Adrian snorted, “Uncle Chad, our families have been friends time out of mind and our children have always been born close together. They are always best friends even if I was a terrible one.”

“So you and the Zabini then?”

“Much to mother’s disappointment, Blaise is carrying my sons. He was impregnated the same way that George was.”

“No offence meant but your mother is hard to please. When we were growing up, Tiberius and I used to talk about how we wanted lots of children because we had siblings. I met Mairsile I was made prefect our seventh year, Lucius was observant enough to know that Gatria would not stomach Tiberius becoming a prefect when she wasn’t. I meant Mairsile because of that. We were assigned rounds together; she was quiet and brilliant but not the least bit social. A bit like Niamh O’Shanessey, they were strangely enough good friends despite their age difference. Niamh had no one really but that canine shadow of her.”

“Honestly, I don’t know why you’re so upset about Brecc and George, personality-wise they are a bit alike.” Adrian observed.

His godfather flinched, “Really?”

“Aunt Mairsile is more comfortable in her greenhouses then with people, much like George prefers his lab. They are both brilliant but they prefer not to be overly apparent about it, choosing to only show it in their work. They want nothing more then to be good parents and in private they can be quite doting. They come from large families and are good siblings; George looks after the younger students like they were family. I wouldn’t be surprised if George wanted a large family…he seems close to his older siblings.”

“Mairsile wanted lots of children but Brecc was so big, against Andromeda’s advice Mairsile’s birth healer insisted on a natural birth. It ripped her up internally and took months to heal properly. Honestly, it nearly killed her. Andromeda told her that her body would never handle another child and it was unlikely that she would survive if she tried again. Having suffered miscarriages she didn’t want Mairsile to have to abort any children she accidentally conceived so they decided that she would have yearly contraception potions.”

“If you both wanted lots of kids why didn’t father,”

“Gatria said as soon as they knew she was expecting a boy that she was glad because she was only going through pregnancy once. She wanted a career and motherhood was going to be a minor priority once she presented Tiberius with an heir. We both were crushed but we had little choice in the matter, Gatria would never have accepted an orphan and Mairsile was already pained by her lack of ability to give me more children, it would have destroyed her.”

“So like Brecc you’ve attached yourself to a sentimental, sensitive Gryffindor. Clearly you have more in common then your intelligence and form.” Adrian teased.

His godfather seemed distraught by the comparison and rose, “I must go. Duty.”

“The sun would grow cold before a Montague was derelict in their devotion to duty.” Adrian smirked.

“I will inform Sancus that Adrian will be a witness along with Draco if he consents.” Chad said heading for the door.

“I doubt Draco will refuse the honour.” Blaise chuckled entering with a yawn.

“Zabini,” Chad Montague said as he let himself out.

Adrian caught Blaise up on the morning events before they went to work on the nursery.

They wouldn’t be officially moving into Pucey Manor until they were legally bound.
