Blaze Zabini

Angelica de Valmont is a pure-blood witch, a sixth-year student of Slytherin. A brunette with long dark brown hair and brown eyes. Comes from one of the oldest and most influential pure-blood families in Britain. The de Valmont family is known for its wealth, political influence and impeccable reputation. Despite her high position, Angelica does not like to boast about her surname. She is intelligent, reserved, self-confident and always keeps her cool. Her best friend is Pansy Parkinson.

Blaise Zabini is a pure-blood wizard and a student of Slytherin. A tall, dark-skinned boy with an athletic build, very short black hair, dark brown eyes, and a calm, attentive gaze. He is silent, thoughtful, and rarely shows his true emotions. Nothing is known about his father. He was raised by his mother, an extremely beautiful and wealthy witch who was married seven times. Each of her husbands died mysteriously, leaving her with a huge inheritance, so there are many rumors surrounding the Zabini family. Blaise himself never talks about his personal life.

Until their sixth year, Angelica and Blaise were just classmates. They had known each other since the first day of school, occasionally exchanging a few words, but they were never friends.

Everything changed in the first Potions lesson after the holidays. Professor Snape unexpectedly announced that for the rest of the term, all practical work would be done in pairs.

"Zabini. Where is Valmont? At the same table."

No one argued.

At first, they only talked about their studies: sharing ingredients, correcting each other's mistakes, and getting high marks from Snape together. Over time, they began to talk more often after class, sometimes sitting together in the library or the Slytherin common room, discussing homework, books, or life at Hogwarts.

They weren't close friends yet, let alone in love. This was just the beginning of their story - two reserved Slytherins who were accidentally put to work together, never knowing that it would change their lives.
