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?
Chapter 28
Blaise walled himself off emotionally before he allowed his elf to Apparate him and his trunk to Platform Nine-and Three-Quarters.
Standing near the floo was Pansy who was hanging on Draco, Vince and Greg were behind Draco as guards as usual.
Draco effortlessly disentangled himself from Pansy's clutches and clasped Blaise's forearm, "Blaise! Where were you all summer? You barely owled me at all." His friend half-whinged at him.
Blaise sighed, "Draco friend we maybe but I can't dance attendance on you like Pansy."
Said witch sniffed at him, "As if Draco would like that."
Blaise looked down his nose disdainfully at her, "That is for Draco to say and us to tolerate."
"I had things I wanted to ask…" Draco frowned, "perhaps, later…"
Blaise did not want to confide in Draco, nor was he really interested in being his 'friend's confidant'. In fact, he wished there was a bit more distance between them. Just because he was a Veela's son and Draco likely had Veela blood did not mean that he wanted to discuss such things with his 'friend'…
"I'm sure the prince would find time to interrogate his second if he wished." Pansy said sharply.
"I'm sure if he wanted he would find time for the witch who believes herself to be consort." Blaise retorted in an icy voice.
"I am." Pansy sneered.
"That is for Draco to decide." Blaise said with a smirk. "He can at a whim denounce either of us. I know that I am only tolerated by his request, after all with a mother like mine how could I truly deserve any respect?"
"With parentage like his," Urquhart snarled, "how could he be worthy of respect?" Theo tossed back before entering the train.
Draco flinched.
Urquhart was a Slytherin and an orphan, his mother had not been revealed but his father had been a elderly Slytherin and had gone to school with Draco's great-grandfathers.
A wall had gone up between Urquhart and Draco soon after the boy started at Hogwarts, a wall that separated Urquhart from practically everyone…
Something must have happened to the boy his First Year but no one know what, even Giselle who was prefect along side had no idea but then again she had eyes for no one but Millie most of the time.
"I bet you ten Galleons that Urquhart learned he had Muggle blood." Pansy snickered.
Draco flinched, "Pansy! That is not something to joke about!"
The five of them entered the train and absconded with a compartment.
Less then twenty minutes later, they heard the familiar arrival of Weasleys, which meant Potter and Granger had arrived.
"Invading weasels." Pansy sniffed.
"As long as they don't sit here what is the harm?" Blaise asked knowing it would irritate her.
"They are bloodtraitors! Their very presence is an anathema to all purebloods." Pansy retorted. "If you really were one you would understand that."
"Don't you mean if I was the child of a Death Eater?" Blaise asked icily.
"That's enough." Draco snapped. "Prefect or no, baiting Blaise is unfair of you Pansy."
"But Draco he started it." Pansy whinged.
"I don't care, I'm ending it. If you two can't exchange polite discourse then you will be silent."
"You heard Draco." Greg glowered.
Both Pansy and Blaise sat opposite one another in the carriage and pointedly ignored one another.
Blaise wished he were sitting with Adrian, Giselle and Millie but he was stuck here…
He missed his mate so much that his heart and body ached for him…
XoooooX
Adrian arrived at Platform Nine-and-Three-Quarters to find his Blaise reluctantly swept up by Draco and his 'gang'.
Begrudgingly, Adrian joined Giselle and Millie only to be practically ignored because they were 'alone'.
Then just before the train was going to leave, there was a rap on the panel door.
"Come in." Adrian drawled, hoping it was Blaise…
to his slight annoyance, it was Brecc Montague. To those who didn't know the slightly older wizard, they would be surprised to know that the two of them were tied for marks.
George Weasley was a close second followed by Angelina Johnson also of Gryffindor who was third…
"the other compartments are full." Brecc grumbled, "Can I join you?"
"I'm here on Giselle's sufferance, that would be a more appropriate question for her."
Millie glared at him.
"I thought we'd discuss Quidditch. I heard that Adrian here was made Head Boy and Quidditch captain. Since they made me a prefect, I thought well we ought to talk before the meeting. Speaking of meeting why aren't you in the Heads' carriage?"
"I don't really want to spend anymore time then I have to with Johnson. We might tolerate one another but I am no more fond of her then you are." Adrian said warily.
"I see. So are we all going to the meeting there?"
Millie scowled, "No, I might have higher marks but some lackwit made Pansy a prefect instead. Even Daphne would have been a wiser choice."
"No offence meant Pucey but your cousin really needs to learn to think for herself. To be dragged along by her nose the way she is, is an embarrassment to her heritage."
"Only a fool would think that Zabini cared a knut for her." Millie sneered.
"Millie…" Giselle said quietly.
"It's true, he ignores her as best he can and when she's nearby he wants nothing more then to run. She dares to touch him and he looks ill. Their parents think they'll make a match of it? When there is a Mudblood Minister for Magic, they might. Until then it's all the wild imagination of someone piskey-mazed." Millie snorted.
Millie was stuck just as he was, angry because the parents of their lover had them meant for someone else. In him, it made him determined to defy them because Blaise was worth more to him then titles and vaults. Without Blaise, even his self-respect and honour were worthless…
Millie lashed out with iron-barbed words, cutting deep into people to make them hurt as she did.
If pity was an acceptable response Adrian would feel it, instead he felt a strange kinship for Millie that bordered on respect.
It would be a long year and with the position of Head Boy it would take him nearly all year to convince Blaise to elope with him to Scamander…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
A/N: I'm sorry! I really haven't abandoned this story. I just got distracted with AO3 fics... But here is your chapter! hopefully I won't take as long to update next time.
