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 14

The mood in the castle was almost pregnant with excitement as the Quidditch World Cup had be but with a far smaller crowd.

Viktor had made an off-handed comment the other day about there being a reason his uncle here on business.

Blaise figured out that meant Dragons…

Viktor spent less time with them then he had before the closer it got to the First Task.

Since the last poll progressed rather favourably, Blaise opened another.

You had to bet on a person and their rank after the First Task.

Lovegood surprised them all by approaching Mafalda Prewett.

“Who is running the poll?”

Mafalda pointed in his direction, “Zabini.”

Luna held out her hand, “I know t’s open to non Slytherins. I want ten galleons on Potter.”

“What ranking?” Blaise smirked adding her to the list.

“First place.”

Slytherin and Durmstrang gaped at her.

Draco glared, “You must be joking. He’s a puny little Fourth Year going against two Seventh Years and a Sixth Year.”

“Harry Potter has one great Skill: Luck. If it’s impossible, improbable I think he’ll do it. I don’t know anyone else who can face a hundred Death eaters and scare them off. He faced a basilisk.” Lovegood smiled dreamily.

“You’re serious?” Prewett asked her.

“Of course. I think he’ll surprise you. There is more to Potter then most realize. Isn’t that right Malfoy?”

Draco rose and glared at her, “Oh sob off.”

“I don’t know why he’s so stubborn.” Lovegood said shaking her head.

Mafalda put down five sickles on the same bet.

Greg sighed and bet the same.

Pansy stubbornly kept her money on Krum.

While Slytherin was forced to make a show of supporting Diggory, few really placed bets on him to score well.

Hogwarts Champion or not, being represented by a Hufflepuff was insulting.

Sure there were some decent Hufflepuffs, Blaise silently admitted but Diggory was the more Hogwarts of Hogwarts? Sure he was a Prefect and a Quidditch player- he was a House Captain but surely there was a better choice to represent them.

Potter was better known, he was exceptionally popular. He could be counted to usually win against the team you rooted for.

Minus the time he lost to Diggory during a storm, Potter was small and wasn’t very strong. Without powerful sticking charms how could have hoped to stay on his broom then?

Really this was silly, Draco’s stubbornness was annoying.

Childish brat…

Why were they friends again?

XoooooX

Slytherin House watched with baited breath…

Those who bet on Viktor Krum were hoping that he’d prove himself.

Diggory was first. He faced a bluish –grey dragon, using a clever bit of transfiguration to turn a large boulder into dog. He attempted to use it to distract the dragon.

He did capture the egg…

About the time the dragon decided that the Hufflepuff was a greater threat so he ended with pretty shocking looking burn..

Fleur Delacour was next.

Hers was more recognizable because it was a dragon native to these shores: a Welsh Green.

Her voice was inaudible over the roar of the crowd.

She swayed in time to her chanting, the crowd watched flabbergasted as the dragon was bespelled to sleep.

She almost escaped without an sort of damage…

Unfortunately, the dragon snored a jet of fire that landed on her skirt.

The older Veela was unruffled and merely put it out with a swish of her wand. It looked like it was a derivative of aguamenti.

They had each received their scores and then it was Viktor’s turn.

There were loud cheers from Slytherin for him…

The Bulgarian Seeker was facing a small but rather vicious looking red dragon.

He smirked and cast a spell right in its eyes.

The dragon’s roar of agony was deafening.

Blaise winced when saw some of the dragon’s eggs crushed.

The look of horror and grief was short lived on the Durmstranger’s face as he snatched up the golden egg that was clearly the objective.

Viktor lost points for that…

Well from Crouch, Madam Maxime Bagman and Dumbledore at least.

Crouch awarded Viktor a seven, Madam Maxime a six, Bagman seven and Dumbledore a five.

Karkaroff gave him a ten…

Then the whistle blew and it was Potter’s turn.

Blaise noticed that Draco was white…paler than usual so he looked almost dead.

Their yearmate, the baby of the Champions walked towards the dragon with barely a tremor of fear. He raised his wand with a familiar wave and shouted, “Acio Firebolt!”

Draco shook and muttered, “You stupid arrogant fool.”

Blaise was glad that Adrian wasn’t competing, Dragons? He didn’t want his friend in that kind of danger. He also was of the opinion that Draco was overreacting to the entire thing.

Potter was rising steadily over the dragon’s head, going higher and higher with dives to enrage it.

It seemed that Harry had acquired the most dangerous dragon of all.

Harry was clearly playing a dangerous game, trying to draw the Dragon away from its nest. Could a Firebolt really fly faster than a dragon? Surely, it wasn’t meant to do that.

Finally to Draco’s obvious horror the dragon launched itself at Harry Potter who led it on a merry chase farther and farther from its nest.

Until Potter went into a dive not unlike Krum’s from the World Cup- a nearly Wronski Feint but his objective was glittering amid a pile of real eggs.

Then Potter snatched it

Not that he would emerge unscathed…

After all, Draco’s shout of anger when Potter was clipped by one of the dragon’s razor sharp tail spikes. Seriously, his façade of hatred wasn’t even skin deep…

Then Potter soared over the stands, the egg hugged to his side.

Bagman had kept up a stunned commentary about Potter’s flying and even made a comment about Krum watching.

Blaise glanced down to see Draco’s hands had clawed deep gouges in his forearms.

Draco hid his arms in his robes.

A Slytherin never liked to back a loser.

Professor McGonagall beamed at Potter and hurried him off to the Medical tent.

When Potter returned he was between his two friends…

Potter had taken the betraying weasel back…

That idiot…

The Beauxbatons Headmistress gave Potter an eight, Crouch and Dumbledore each gave him nines, Bagman the Quidditch happy twit granted Potter a ten and Karkaroff the jealous cretin have him a four.

Just because Slytherins sometimes were known as bullies, didn’t mean they were always that way. Despite Draco’s decree Slytherin House was pissed.

“That’s Charlie Weasley! He’s congratulating Potter?” Brecc hissed.

“Yeah, he was working for the Preserve. Viktor’s uncle must have brought him along.”

“Oh looks like Viktor’s getting an earful.” Blaise said shaking his head. “Must be the uncle.”

The uncle he was related to?

The look Charlie Weasley gave Viktor wasn’t pleasant as he went to clean up the smashed eggs.

Professor Snape showed up and offered a handful of galleons for the remains.

The elder Weasley accepted the money reluctantly.

The Hogwarts Champions were tied for First Place with identical scores.

Forcing Blaise to deal out winnings.

Lovegood showed up at once with her hand out.

He’d given her really bad odds like one is ten thousand; splitting the winnings between the three of them was rather taxing.

There weren’t many Diggory supporters in the betting pool and their winnings were very high.

Lovegood, Greg and Mafalda had won a lot…

Blaise had money to burn with his mother so rich, a letter to his step-uncle and he could have more. He’d probably need it…

To think Potter really had gotten first place like Lovegood bet.

You’d think Draco’d be pleased he barely got hurt…

However, Weasel’s apparent return to Potter’s side clearly infuriated the blonde.

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