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?
A/N: Adrian hears back from his parents...

Chapter 33

Adrian was wary when it was his mother’s owl that appeared the morning after he sent a letter to his father regarding Blaise’s pregnancy.
He shakily accepted the letter but his hand was slashed by Geinah’s talons.
Adrian opened it only after checking it for any spell or potion that his mother might have put in the letter to show her displease. She might be an Ollivander by birth but she was very cold.
‘Hadrian,
I can’t begin to put to parchment the depth of my displeasure. I’m not sure whether I should believe your story about a Lilithean. I had hoped that propriety and family feeling would prevent you from allowing your friendship with the Zabini child to progress as it has.
You knew our expectations and wishes as well as the feelings of your cousin Daphne regarding the Zabini boy. Your selfish choices have made your father quite ill. I don’t know if I can ever forgive you for this.
However despite your father’s current stay in St. , I have had to take up the entirety of his ambassadorial duties as well as my own. Which unfortunately, leaves you in charge of our titles, seats and estates in Britain. Duty, which ought to have had you obeying our wishes, now calls for you to bond to the Zabini boy.
This does not mean that we will countenance your selfish indulgence, nor that we will accept the Zabini boy as your future consort. However, your elder son will be your father’s heir second only to yourself.
I hope that you are happy because the shock of your news has caused more harm then you know. Not only has it caused waves of discord between our Greengrass kin and the Goyles but it also has caused your father to fall ill. The healers will not give me any sign if he will recover or when.
Your mother,
Gatria Ollivander’
While everyone addressed his mother as Lady Pucey, like all Ollivanders his mother never formally changed her name to Pucey. She was the consort of Lord Pucey but her name remained unchanged.
Adrian sagged, his father was hospitalised due to the shock of his own impending fatherhood. He had the right to consent to his own bonding but clearly his parents would not be present. While he had decided long ago that Blaise was the only family he needed, the proof of Blaise’s fears that he would be cut off cut him deeply. He gave Blaise a wary smile, “I’ve been give permission to make my own choice regarding our bonding.”
Blaise frowned, “Under what circumstances?”
“My father is unable to give consent and well, my mother said that due to his incapacity familial power has passed to me.” Adrian sighed. “She has agreed that our bonding is our only choice in this instance and that our elder son will be named second in line to the Pucey estate after me of course so I’m not being disowned. Mother doesn’t believe me about the Lilithean being responsible your pregnancy; she didn’t state that she believed that I was being deliberately untruthful. It was more along the lines of probable self-delusion due to my refusal to accept their preferred candidate for my future consort.”
Blaise flinched, “I was right…they hate me because of my mother’s known behaviour and they don’t believe that I would be any different.”
Adrian brought Blaise’s knuckles to his own lips, “That’s because they’ve never tried to know you. You would never treat our children as you were treated, you wouldn’t abandoned them because you could never wish such loneliness on another especially one of your blood. I’ve watched you tresoro, the longer you’ve known about our sons the deeper your bond to them is. It pains you that you were unaware of their existence for so long…”
Blaise’s eyes closed, “Especially when I’ve carried them below my heart, I should have known…”
Adrian beamed at him, “But you did.”
Blaise’s eyes sprung opened, “How can you say that?”
Adrian pulled him into his lap, “Because you relented, you agreed to elope with me. You knew that we belonged together and you were willing to run away with me to be bonded. You may have originally refused my proposal but the closer my graduation came the more agreeable you were about it. What was your first reaction to learning about our sons?”
Blaise blushed, “That you would never be able to resist me…”
Adrian chuckled, “As if I ever have, I know Draco learnt French to communicate with you due to his connection with the Goyles but I learned Italian because it was your mother tongue did I not? It was Italian that gave us our first link but our mutual loneliness also brought us together. My parents were away a lot due to duty so despite my closeness to my cousins or even the Goyles it was you that I felt the closest too.”
Blaise curled up as best he could in Adrian’s lap, “I believe you, my rights I should have been closer to Theo or Draco but it was you I felt a connection to. Perhaps, we unknowingly forged a bond as mates that we didn’t recognise until later.”
“Quite probable,” Adrian said softly as he rest his chin on Blaise’s hair even as he caressed his back and splayed his fingers over Blaise’s barely rounded stomach.
Blaise was a slim individual and despite carrying twin boys who were so far along in gestation Adrian could hardly tell he was pregnant at all. If it weren’t for Blaise’s Veela hormones that made his lover more agreeable to eloping or his own dogged determination that they’d be together no matter what Adrian’s heart clenched at the idea that he might have lost Blaise forever to his own cousin.
While hurting Daphne hadn’t been his plan, Blaise could no more want Daphne then Giselle could want him. Daphne erroneously saw Blaise as a someone she could be happy with while ignoring consciously or unconsciously that Blaise preferred to avoid her even to the point of offering himself as Millie’s ‘date’ to the Yule Ball last year just to let Giselle and Millie spend the duration of the Ball together. Millie terrified Blaise in ways that no other Slytherin even the likes of Marcus Flint and Cassius Warrington could.
“They really relented?” Blaise asked quietly.
“Sadly, it’s more of a sense that they failed to have a choice in the matter. Heirs are heirs and they can’t allow ours to be born illegitimate.” Adrian sighed.
“It’s a start right?”
Adrian gave his beloved a weak smile, “I suppose, she didn’t say that she wouldn’t be part of our children’s lives.”
Just that she wouldn’t be treated Blaise with the sort of respect he deserved as her son’s Bondmate even if they were legally bound because Blaise wasn’t her or his father’s choice.
“At least we can be together…” Blaise whispered; he’d always known that even if they did bond to one another that Adrian’s parents would never approve of him.
Adrian hated knowing that anyone was hurting his Blaise, to have his own mother responsible for causing Blaise anguish especially when he was pregnant upset him. He kissed the top of Blaise’s head. “We’ll need to discuss who we’d trust as witnesses…”
“Draco asked me, I’d like to return the favour and since I can’t ask anyone else in Slytherin I’ll probably have to extend the request to include Potter.” Blaise said dejectedly.
“Father said that the once that the Puceys can always depend on are the Montagues. I can’t ask my Greengrass relations for obvious reasons and I did grow up with Brecc, plus we were on the Slytherin team for years. Not sure who I’ll ask as well…”
Blaise frowned, “Hasn’t he been in St. Mungos’ for a while? I heard he was injured and ended up in a toilet…”
Adrian groaned, “I’ll owl his father and ask how he is but he’s about the only person I trust other then Giselle and even if she’d be happy for us given our parents’ wishes I can’t ask her. There is no way I’d stoop to asking my irritating cousin Cormac, I can’t stand him. I know mother is an Ollivander and her niece had twin boys but I don’t know Michael or Stephan well enough to consider them.”
Blaise’s voice was soft, “At least you have family even if you can’t stand them…”
Adrian felt terribly guilty; Blaise’s paternal relations didn’t acknowledge him and his maternal relations were so horrified by his mother’s string of dead spouses that Blaise wasn’t close to them either. The only family he really had was that of his adopted family the Goyles and the paterfamilias Gordon as well as Blaise’s step uncle Geoffrey weren’t going to take the news of his impending bonding to himself or the pregnancy well.
They had to hope they would have friends because it didn’t look like they’d have much family…

A/N: What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
