So, this is a Halloween present for my friend, YamiNoShigatsu . This is a stand alone fic based off of the role play we're doing. It was inspired by Jad fic's story " Catch 22" and their description of Blaise. If you like Drarry stories, I recommend it.

I do not own Blaise or Draco (Property of JKR) or Amelia. Just Shelli, and the actions of Blaise and Draco.

A Glimpse of the Life of Blaise Zabini ~ "Halloween"

"ZABINI, come on man! You're taking longer than the girls!" Draco complained.

"Well, it's not my fault that perfection cannot be rushed, darling ~ " Blaise called back from the bathroom. He was in one of his 'flamboyant' moods again.

"The Masquerade Ball starts in 15 minutes and the girls are ready to go," Draco reminded him while smoothing his outfit. He had been coerced into going as a prince.

~~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~~

"But you don't even like dressing up! As a prince, you'd practically be going as yourself," Amelia reasoned.

"Besides, princes are supposed to be poised, charming, and handsome. All qualities you have in spades," his wife, Shellianna, added.

"This is all true," Draco stated hesitantly. "But wouldn't it be kind of tacky?"

"But I'll match you," Shelli explained.

"Well, I guess, if we'll be matching," Draco relented.

~~~~~~ End Flashback ~~~~~~

So he was a prince, and Shelli was going as his… knight? She had absolutely refused to be a princess.

"Halloween is about being who you want to be," she had said. "And I'm tired of being a freaking princess. I'm the one kicking ass and taking names in this relationship, so I'm going to be a knight. Not some weak little princess still waiting on you to save me, because Ialways end up saving you."

Blaise was carefully studying himself in the bathroom mirror. He watched his reflection as it pulled on a long linen shirt that had leather ties at its loose neckline. Next it slowly donned a pair of tight fitting black leather pants, tucking in the loose ends of the shirt. Then came the knee high boots, followed by the midnight blue velvet overcoat, embroidered in silver, which bottomed out at the tops of his calves. It was secured around his waist with a wide black leather belt with an ornate silver buckle. Then came the finishing touch: A black leather pirate captain's hat that had a wide floppy brim and a large, wispy, dark blue feather.

As he studied the pirate captain that was staring back at him, a mischievous, cocky grin spread across Blaise's face, his dark eyes sparkling.

"Ladies, eat your hearts out, 'cuz you can look, but you can't touch. The only girl I'll have on my arm is mio diletta, Amelia."

With that, he strutted from the bathroom to join his date and their friends singing "Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me!"

~~~~~~ Finire ~~~~~~

Happy Halloween 'Melia!
