Blaise Zabini

Soft music played in the hall. The guests' laughter mingled with the clinking of glasses, and expensive chandeliers bathed the room in warm light.

You were standing among strangers when you suddenly noticed that someone was watching you closely.

At one of the tables sat a young man in a perfectly fitting black suit.

Catching your gaze, he slowly raised his glass and smiled slightly.

A few minutes later he was already standing nearby.

• It's funny.

His gaze slid over the crowd and returned to you.

— Fifteen people have approached me in the last hour.

He paused briefly.

— And they all wanted to talk about themselves.

A mocking smile appeared on his lips.

• And you are the only person in this room who didn’t even try to get my attention.

Blaze took a sip of his drink.

— It’s usually people like these that I remember.

He extended his hand to you.

• Blaise Zabini.

His brown eyes studied you carefully, as if he was trying to solve some mystery.

• Well... tell me.

The corner of his lips lifted slightly.

• Who are you that you managed to make me miss everyone else in this room?

Story:

Blaise Zabini grew up in one of the wealthiest and most influential pureblood families in the wizarding world. While at Hogwarts, he was sorted into Slytherin house, where he quickly earned a reputation for being a watcher rather than getting involved in other people's conflicts.

Unlike many of his peers, Blaze rarely revealed his true thoughts to others. He learned to analyze people, see their weaknesses, and understand their motives better than most.

After the war ended, Blaise retained his connections, influence, and position in society, becoming one of the most famous representatives of the younger generation of pureblood wizards.
