Bride of the HP Dragon

Zabini was only eight years old when he discovered he was a shapeshifter.

Of course, he didn't know what his unique talent was at that time. Just like those children with magical blood, Blaise's magical potential appeared by accident.

It happened shortly after his mother took him to a family barber shop. Blaise loved his long hair, but it wasn't for a boy, and after cutting it, Blaise quarreled about it for weeks.

Then one day, while his parents were entertaining visiting relatives from his mother's side downstairs, Blaise climbed into a chair and stood in front of a mirror trying to grow his hair back.

He succeeded, and it happened within ten seconds.He didn't expect this, and almost fell out of his chair in shock.

Afraid of his mother's censure (or questioning), he endured the pain and cut off all his hair, and didn't look in the mirror for a month.It wasn't long before he found he could control it, and really, he realized it was a skill.

It is recorded in the book that because this ability is too rare and important, if he tells others, he must register with the Ministry of Magic.

He didn't tell anyone.

By the age of ten, he was able to turn into anyone he wanted, provided he was familiar enough with the subject to see what they looked like from all angles.

Being a shapeshifter is just one of Blaise Zabini's best-kept secrets.As a child, his parents gave him full freedom and were extremely satisfied with his academic excellence and prospects at Hogwarts.He came from a wealthy upper-class family, certainly not as good as Malfoy or Parkinson, if Pansy's father hadn't ruined the family fortune.

If he acts a little too otherworldly, a little too calculating, his parents see him as a product of good parenting.

At this moment, Blaise Zabini was standing in the doorway of a tailor shop that was closed today, four buildings away from the Round Rock Hotel.Regardless of his appearance (Translator's Note: Zabini's complexion is a conspicuous brown...), he sees no need to change his complexion.The sun has set, and night is the best disguise.

And when he feels particularly out of strength, the deformation cannot be maintained for a long time. It's like trying to shape a pile of dirt with only the brows, and the end is a failure.Because this week is too tiring for him, he is really too busy.

Earlier in the day, he had hurried to visit Oro, whom he had captured.He secretly made a bitter face, reminding himself that it was really a windfall.He's good at what he's doing, but has to admit he's getting a little carried away.

Letting himself run outside the castle on Thursday evening was a rare mistake he made.For some unexplainable reason, his first instinct was to become Draco.It took him a while, but he didn't want Nymphadora Tonks to find out who he really was.

The death of that male Oro (what was his name? Bligh?) ​​was an unfortunate necessity. "Unfortunately" meant that people get nervous when Oro goes missing, especially if it's happening on Hogwarts grounds, which are closely guarded by Ministry of Magic law.

Also, it was exciting to be able to use one of the Death Eater keys that Wormtail had given him last week.They are small and portable for him and can be hidden in clothing.

Wherever Bligh had gone, he was long dead by now.It's a pity that the sharp-tongued, pretty girl Oro, whom he's keeping in a makeshift Death Eater stronghold, will suffer the same fate.Her heroic and lively appearance reminded him of Hermione.

The only good thing about the kidnapping was that almost all the students went home early when the summer holidays rolled around, and the investigation went back to the Ministry.So he could move around Hogwarts, which was almost deserted, without being a professor, or an Oro on patrol, or whatever.

When Blaise discovered his purpose that evening, his boredom and impatience turned into a dark interest.Trailing Granger from Hogwarts to Knockturn Alley, he had obviously waited a long time for them to return.

Draco was wearing a hat, so it was a bit difficult to spot his trademark head.Granger was much easier, her shoulder-length curls tied loosely, but Blaise managed to recognize her.Even at a distance, he still knew that she was frowning slightly.An inch above the bridge of the freckled nose is the smooth creamy white skin between her brows, which can be delicately wrinkled.

That's what happens when she's in trouble, then it's obvious she's in trouble now.Malfoy was no doubt the cause of the frown, his jaw clenched and his face tense as he dragged her across the road until they reached the Round Rock Hotel.

There are few things about Hermione Granger that Blaise hasn't paid close attention to over the past year.He thought it was odd, because he hadn't considered or expected to be associated with anyone.

She's... she's different, isn't she?Boys like him or Ma Erfu will watch from a distance but will not play with them.Not corny like Gryffindor, rigid like Ravenclaw, or unimaginative like Hufflepuff.

Oh yes, she's a little neurotic, but she more than makes up for it with more likable other qualities.

Given the proper impetus and leadership, her complete ability to organize is a fundamental strength of hers.Potter secretly trusted her judgment.In addition to fully approving of her intelligence, Dumbledore considered her impulsiveness towards Potter a necessary moderation.

Potter is a character that should go down in history, and he will have a chocolate frog wizard card.It was his destiny to go into battle and become a martyr for this age.Harry accepted his fate and lived his life while preparing himself and his loved ones.Blaise admired the boy most of the time.

Granger's fate was uncertain, and if Blaise had his way—and he often did, he would mess things up even more.He'd considered expressing his interest in her for the past few months, but they were too busy and not everyone could juggle NEWTS exams, student body president responsibilities, and a Death Eater reservist at the same time.

Because he was particularly obsessed with Hermione, he paid so much attention to her, so he soon found out that she had been involved with someone recently.

Not just any student, but someone she didn't want others to know about.

First, she sneaked a look at FidaMia's books in the library, and when he knew the effect of the spell, she immediately sounded the alarm for herself.

She had gone missing at her seventh-year graduation party two weeks earlier, and Blaise had noticed that the only other notable missing person was Draco Malfoy.

But this combination is just ridiculous.

However, it is true.

When the Dark Mark appeared in the Forbidden Forest, Malfoy's defense of her almost confirmed everything.Blaise prides himself on his ability to observe such details.

After the Bludger incident on the Quidditch pitch, Pansy told everyone who would care to know that she was going to sneak to the medical wing the next morning to see Malfoy.

Then she rushed back to the cellar in tears, apparently, Draco already had a visitor.

The Dark Mark incident may have become a big mistake in their great cause, and Blaise had already told Wormtail what he thought in the meeting last week.All the wands the Death Eaters could steal, they gave him Lucius Malfoy's wand, which had been marked by the Ministry of Magic.

Launching the Dark Mark would be a great moment for Blaise, the first time he's launching "Bones Reborn" for a mission!But the damn thing had become Malfoy's crest, right in front of his eyes.

Why does everything revolve around Draco Malfoy?

It was too easy to use the bludger to end Dandis Dodds' life, and Blaise's ability to set traps has long been recognized.Putting Malfoy in danger could be used to judge Granger's feelings for the boy.

It's one thing to be bound by a betrothal spell, and quite another to fall in love with your husband.

Blaise had to confirm that, from all that he knew, he immediately came to a wildly absurd conclusion.

Yes, it would be ideal to use Dodds as an excuse, the kid who had long been at odds with Malfoy.There is no doubt that either of the two could have been destroyed in an accident.Disputes within the House are a sensitive issue, and Slytherin House is useless if it becomes public.

There are many reasons why Malfoy is not suitable to be a Death Eater.One was the lack of interest in Death Eater life after the old Malfoy's public downfall, and the other was his willingness to take risks to save a useless classmate.

Blaise knew Draco would do it, he'd counted on it, and the son of a bitch wouldn't disappoint.Maybe there was a little bit of Potter in Malfoy after all, maybe that's what Hermione saw.

Sitting in the vice-principal's office and witnessing Granger's pale, ghostly appearance was heart-wrenching, and all Blaise could guess was that she had made it and that her husband had had an accident on the field.He wanted to shake her awake, wanted to slap her awake.

He wanted to see her worry for him and for him, not for Malfoy.His little probing worked, and his suspicions were confirmed.

After that day, he decided he wanted Malfoy to die.

Acting without the Dark Lord's approval would be tricky, but not impossible.His master wanted to win Malfoy over, even though at least a dozen insisted that the boy was never to be trusted.

The Dark Lord won't listen, if Albus Dumbledore owns Harry Potter, then Voldemort will also have a student idol of his own, his disciple.This person should be Blaise, anyone with a little brain can tell.

But what did his master say?The father's sin does not determine the son's future, maybe these bullshits come from Tom Riddle's psychological shadow of his father.

Merlin, but this man is amazing when he thinks about it.

Voldemort, he wasted more time and talent than Harry Potter.Just to create an atmosphere of terror, to create a name that people are too scared to mention, such a reckless person.

The regime could not last, and Voldemort did not have the foresight or the political awareness.

But he, Bryce, hadn't started to implement his long-term plan, and the end would be Harry Potter's death.Voldemort will not always have the final say, under Voldemort's moodiness, Blaise's ambition can not be detected, but the ambition is firm.

He'd already swayed some senior Death Eaters with his ideas, with a bit of guile, of course.To them, he was a rising star among Voldemort's lower ranks.A useful tool, even a necessary talent.

His future among the Death Eaters is beyond doubt.

Meanwhile, events continue to unfold before his eyes, as he grabs an Oro in need, needs to keep a traitor's son in check, and woos a girl.

This is inevitable, isn't it?The wizarding world cannot be so static and resigned to fate that civilization stagnates while Muggles develop science and technology.

The wizarding world cannot hide indefinitely, and even Dumbledore understood that fact.New forward-thinking leaders are needed, and if Blaise has to lie, cheat, steal, or murder to get it, he'll do it.

In the face of the interests of the majority, what is the minority?

Despite these grand plans in such complicated times, despite his indisputable magical talent and stubborn, redeeming genius mind, Blaise is still an 18-year-old boy with sweaty palms when he talks to the girl he likes.

However, this girl is with someone else.

He had to act, and until Hermione came to his senses, he couldn't just sit around and die.
