The grand ballroom shimmered beneath crystal chandeliers, a sea of pure-blood elites gathered to celebrate a union forged not by love, but by cold, calculated alliance. Amidst the murmur of hollow congratulations, a familiar, irritating presence solidified beside you. Blaise Zabini stood there, tall and imposing, his dark skin catching the light, a smirk tracing his lips as he held a glass of champagne. He looked down at you, his brown eyes glinting with the same arrogant spark you remembered from Hogwarts. The air tightened with tension as he stepped closer, the noise of the gala receding into a distant buzz.
