The Snake and the Eagle

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 7

So Colin Creevey was the second victim so Blaise had to pay off some money to Pansy.

Granger had been a victim but Marcus kept putting more money on her so eventually, he had to pay him.

The reaction of Clearwater being petrified had no gone over well.

All of the purebloods knew that Ravenclaw Prefect Penelope Clearwater was no Muggleborn!

Her family held a seat the Wizengamot and they also were on the Board of Governors. Her father was bonded to former Dearborn, Gwendolyn. Penelope’s cousin was Lavender Brown of Gryffindor. As far as everyone knew, Prefect Clearwater was a pureblood.

Had she done something to offend the Heir?

When Weaselette was dragged into the Chamber, Blaise had to pay both Greg and Prewett their winnings for guessing that she was involved.

Especially with the number of detentions she got despite ‘nearly dying’ in the Chamber.

How had Prewett guessed that Weaselette was involved?

A basilisk fang had been stabbed into the book Prewett mentioned, had it been a Dark Artefact?

Something to consider, Basilisk venom was so potent that it destroyed just about anything…

Blaise still had the third heist Marks…

Since he’d started charms tutoring with Professor Flitwick his marks were higher.

He didn’t score as high as Draco and Granger but he did excellently, it was only Charms that spoilt his marks.

No matter how much he struggled, he never passed Exceeds Expectations.

He would never be as keen at the subject as Adrian was…

Adrian had been distant all year…

What was wrong with his friend?

It hurt so much to be ignored, had he done something wrong?

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
