Summary: Blaise Zabini, the golden child has everything he has ever wanted an enemy, a loving aunt and uncle, and two dead parents. Oh wait that sounds like Harry Potter's story a bit right? Well this is not Harry Potter's story, this is Blaise Zabini's story. He is not the chosen like Potter is but he is a golden child, who gets more of his share of popularity. Though their stories are similar never underestimate a Slytherin when they are in their natural habitat.
This is for a challenge I am doing.
Its called 'What If OCs'
My character was Blaise Zabini and I had to make an OC for him that was his enemy. I chose to make a girl his enemy her name is Serenity Cade, which is the opposite of what she ensues in their imaginary world they used to both share.
I asked for a 'what if' and mine was 'what if Blaise was as wanted as Harry Potter himself?' so I made him as wanted as Harry Potter in a little different way.
The Prince Of Nowhereland-chapter 1, Where the Lion Lies
When the moon rises and the sun sets, this little boy awakes from his slumber. Of course, he wasn't exactly a little boy but to some people he was very little. Blaise Zabini wakes up in his room seeing that it's dark out, he sits up and walks over to his window. Moving his curtain he tilts his head and sees the moon's outline. Soon he would be going to school, and eleven year old Blaise Zabini wasn't too excited for that. He didn't really like going away from home.
The next morning Blaise wakes up with a start. He hadn't planned on waking up late that night and then sleeping in his parents' study. Of course he knew why he woke up at that moment; his enemy was coming with her parents who were friends with his own. Though at that moment he wanted to go back to sleep and never open his eyes ever again, he wanted to never set eyes upon this world again. Maybe he could go to Nowhereland where he was a prince.
He used to play Nowhereland with his old friend now turned enemy though since he stopped being friends with her he did not play Nowhereland in a long time. Now you must being wondering, or you might not be wondering but why would he, Blaise Zabini, be friends with an enemy long ago. Well he was a golden child, though that means little in the Muggle world though in the Wizarding world that meant he was special only because he was smarter than most kids his age and also because his parents died for him, in an unusual way. His aunt and uncle were his parents now, though they treated him very kindly.
"Honey, come downstairs," screamed his aunt, from the base of the stairs. The young woman looked much too young to have Blaise as a son. She of course was not his actually mother but his aunt/mother she took care of him more than his own mother did, who was now dead.
Blaise groaned he knew that his enemy was here with her parents and simply did not want to go down there. Plus he was not dressed in day clothes, so as fast as he could he walks out of his parents' study and sneaks into his room to get changed. He slips into a pair of jeans and a plaid shirt that fits him loosely and walks downstairs miserably. His brown skin had light burn marks which made him annoyed, he despised when he got burns. So he walks over to the bathroom and gently cups some water in one hand and splashes it on his burns though it does nothing except make him smile.
When he walks into the dining room he sees his enemy and her parents sitting at that table enjoying some tea though his parents are nowhere to be seen. He starts to become worried at their lack of appearance, though his enemy begins to stare at him making his thoughts immediately go away. At that his mother walks up to him coming out of the kitchen.
"Don't stare its rude," his mother reprimands him, sharply. "I don't like you being rude it shows that I and your father can not teach you manners, you don't want people to think bad of us do you?"
Blaise looks at his mom still standing in the doorway. He shakes his head before she can reprimand him again. "Why must she be here," he ponders, "I was never fond of her in the least, though they still insist that she come over here as well."
His mother goes closer to him and whispers "Don't be rude, and also entertain our guests with me. I would love it if you do. Your father will be joining us soon; he is making breakfast for us. You must be starving my poor dear, seeing you woke up so late."
"How do you know about that," whispers Blaise, looking at his mother.
"I have my ways," his mother retorts, shrugging her shoulders. "Now go and entertain them please."
Blaise nods, and walks over to the table and sits down. He had no idea how to entertain them, but he knew he had to at least try his best. Blaise smiles and looks at the doorway the lead into the kitchen he did not want to do much of anything right now, especially not entertain his enemy and her family.
"Hello Blaise," said Mrs. Cade, "are you excited to go to Hogwarts? I know I would be Hogwarts is so exciting and so enchanting."
His enemy rolls her eyes daintily, as her mother spoke. She never liked when her mother talked like this, it was like they were in a fairy tale or something like that. Blaise looks at Mrs. Cade calmly knowing she always was like this when she was happy.
"Not really," Blaise admits, glumly, "I don't like leaving home, even when I must. Though going to a friend's house every once and awhile is nice. You know to get away from the normal things in life and see how they live their lives on a normal basis."
"I totally agree," Serenity replies, calmly as she twiddled her thumbs.
"Of course," said Mrs. Cade, "our dear Serenity is apprehensive of going as well. Isn't that right Serenity?"
"Oh, yes mother," said Serenity politely, looking at Blaise all the while making him look away from her. "I am terribly apprehensive, seeing that all my cousins and siblings are not going to be in my grade but of course Blaise will be."
"Oh, don' be too polite now," whispers Blaise, under his breath. Of course he knew that her family was all older than her, she being the youngest in the family out of her siblings which she has six of and cousins which she had like a billion of them.
When she says this, Blaise nearly chokes on his spit, not able to comprehend what she had just said. At that moment Blaise's mother and father walk into the dining room resuming entertaining Mrs. And Mr. Cade, who was enjoying themselves thoroughly. Blaise then gets his breakfast, his stomach growling from hunger, though he knew it was also from him sleeping in the study on the couch that is very small. He takes a biscuit and spreads jam on it while serving himself some tea, which he begins to sip so he wouldn't burn his tongue. He loved rose tea, with rose jam though today they were having white chai, which was also delicious on a morning such as today, when a little boy could not sleep.
"Oh Cadence," said Mrs. Cade, "would you mind if me and my dear Serenity come with you and your boy Blaise to shop for school supplies in Diagon Alley my husband is quite busy today so I do not want to bother him?"
"Oh, yes father is quite busy and I am afraid that I wouldn't want to make him miss a day," Serenity said, being the epitome of all things sweet and heavenly.
"Now that's what I call having manners," Mr. Cade said proudly, before continuing eating his pastry that was on the dish in front of him.
Mr. Cade nods at what his wife has said, silently agreeing with him. He never was one to talk, though when he did he always had a lot on his mind. Blaise looks at Mr. Cade, the man was quite tall, and had a firm grip on his daughter's behavior never letting her forget where she is and how to act at all times.
"Oh we would be delighted," said Cadence, Blaise's mom, "now wouldn't we, Blaise dear?"
Blaise nods, not really wanting to talk as he continued to eat his breakfast. Serenity looks at Blaise and smiles. She then gets out of her seat taking her plate with her and walks over to where Blaise happened to be sitting and she sits right next to him. Serenity was never one to brag or even speak loud when conversing with Blaise; she always had a lot of fun that way. This annoyed Blaise due to her way of being utterly polite towards everyone even her own enemy.
"Yay, now we can have so much fun," Serenity whispered to Blaise acidly as she took a bite of her crumpet that was on her plate. "I always like having fun with you."
Blaise continued to eat without paying attention to the nuisance that was by him. Though he knew he could never actually wish her gone, for when he becomes bored she would not be around. He knew he did not like being by her and the proximity between the two at that moment bothered him quite a lot. Of course Serenity liked doing things that he did not, so he never spoke a word of this to his mother or father.
"Don't be afraid of me," Serenity whispered as she stood up again and walked back to where her mother sat across from Blaise and his mother. The dress that she was wearing made her seem more doll-like than ever as he watched sit down by her parents.
"Well, I must be going," said Mr. Cade and Blaise's father at the same time. The two men both worked at the Ministry of Magic, which was very convenient, though the two men did not work in the same department.
"If its okay, would you mind if I leave with you," Blaise's father asks Mr. Cade. His father was long and lanky as if he was still a teenager, with a man's mind frame. His father looked almost like Blaise though his father had slightly darker features.
Blaise knew that his mother and father wanted a child, though he knew they had never tried to do such a thing fearing that his popularity would shadow the child into hell or something like that, though he did always want a little sibling knowing that he would take care of the little baby.
"Not at all, come along," Mr. Cade replied, cheerfully as he kissed his wife's cheek. He was tall too but not as lanky as Blaise's father.
"Bye father," Serenity says who at that moment pecks his daughter on the cheek.
"Be good now," said Mr. Cade.
"I will," Serenity promised, sweetly. She would of course listen to her father no matter what.
Blaise's father kisses Blaise's mother and then the two leave without another word. This meant that the two mothers needed to go to Diagon Alley very soon, too soon in fact.
"We must be going now," said Cadence, looking at her watch. "We really must be."
"Oh, how true," said Mrs. Cade, looking at her own clock. "If we do not go now we will be stuck in traffic and we will never get what we need."
"Yes, there is too much to get that we must leave at once," Cadence said.
"Shall we leave by floo powder?" asks Mrs. Cade, looking at Cadence.
"I suppose so," Cadence replied, looking at her son. "It will definitely be the quickest way."
Blaise rolls his eyes; he did not want to go out especially when it was raining out. Though he knew his mother would insist that he go so he ventured upstairs and got his coat so they could all leave soon. When he goes to the door Serenity is there sitting on the floor, tossing her head back and forth every so often.
"You know we will be leaving by floo powder," Blaise says.
"I know that silly," Serenity replies, sneering at him. "I am just waiting for mother, that's all."
Blaise rolls his eyes, "It doesn't matter to me." He walks into the living room where his mother and Mrs. Cade were.
"Serenity and Blaise you will be the first ones," his mother said, smiling.
"We aren't going together are we," asks Blaise, looking at his mother.
"Of course not," she said, smiling as she hands him some floo powder.
Blaise nods going into the fireplace, he then says, "Diagon Alley."
Serenity goes some minutes after saying calmly, "Diagon Alley."
Once everyone is together they go to Gringotts to get money for Blaise. Blaise walks close to his mother, not wanting to be near to Serenity. Serenity sticks her nose in the air not caring that Blaise is by her. At that moment she bumps into someone making that someone fall and drop some books.
"Oops, I am terribly sorry," said Serenity as she picks up the dropped books.
"It's okay," said a boy a little older than her. "My name Oliver Wood, I hope you didn't get hurt."
Serenity shakes her head, "Oh, no I am fine. My name is Serenity Cade I am a first year in Hogwarts, I am going this year."
"I see," Oliver says, smiling. "Maybe you will be in Gryffindor. Bye Serenity."
Serenity nods, smiling. Her mother then grabs her arm and they all walk into Gringotts.
"We will have to wait a while, for us to get what we need," Mrs. Cade said to Serenity who was not really able to listen to her mother speaks to her.
Blaise and his mother go down to his vault, during the ride his mother is talking to the goblin so he decides to daydream for a little bit. Maybe he won't be in Slytherin like his parents were. Maybe he will be in Gryffindor though he couldn't say he was courageous or anything or Ravenclaw he was pretty smart. Though at this moment in time he really didn't care what house he was in as long as he was in one.
Meanwhile Serenity is going to her own family vault with her mother. Afterwards they go to her personal one because her mother told her that there was something special there for her. Once the goblin opens the vault Serenity runs in and takes a small package. The package was small and round, it had her family crest on it which was a dragon circling a raven. Of course she loved her crest and everything about her family though she couldn't help but wonder what exactly the object was.
"I forbid you to open it until you get on the Hogwarts Express, you hear," her mother whispers as they wait for Blaise and his mother in the Gringotts lobby.
Serenity nods, though she knew it was going to be very hard for her to keep the promise. She would get too curious to wait, and she knew that would get her in trouble.
Blaise and his mother soon walk up to them, and they begin shopping for all their needs which included textbooks. As Serenity browsed through the books she felt like taking a nap. She hated looking at books. Her mother then shoos her away to get others things, she happily obliges and goes to walk around too excited to really get anything on her list.
Soon she knocks into another person but this person is none other than Harry Potter who was looking at her stunned.
"Who are you?" he asks, confused.
Serenity laughs and replies, "I am Serenity Cade and of course you are Harry Potter though you already know that. You and Blaise Zabini are very popular here; I dislike you both only of course because of that."
Harry looks at her strangely before he runs off again.
"What a strange child," mutters Serenity as she walks around some more.
Finally she meets up with her mother who then takes her to Blaise and his mother. They go to a café and have a bite to eat.
"I met Harry Potter," informs Serenity to her mother as she ate her meal.
"Oh really," Mrs. Cade said, smiling.
"Yes, mother I knocked into him by accident," said Serenity sheepishly.
"Did you say sorry," Mrs. Cade asked, waiting for her daughter's reply.
"No, I did not," Serenity replied, ashamed.
Blaise snickers under his breath making Serenity glare at him.
"Well next time you see him, you must apologize to him," said Mrs. Cade. "Poor boy, all he needs is you knocking him over to make his day! It's not like the Dark Lord had to kill his parents or anything!"
"Mrs. Cade," exclaims his mother, "watch your language!"
Though she does not do this and continues to rave about the boy named Harry Potter, like it mattered whether or not he got a scrape or not. Though the woman did crave youth and that always did make her a bit scarier at least to Blaise and Serenity. Blaise laughs at the woman's ranting and Serenity giggles at the subject at hand which was about Harry Potter. Her mother looks at her then continues to go on about the boy.
Serenity looks elsewhere as her mother talks, she never did like when her mother talked about how bad she was or how good Potter was either. Though she could have guessed it was her fault anyway, though she never really liked guessing about something that was an accident. While Mrs. Cade is reprimanding Serenity, Blaise snickers in his seat. His mother looks at him with distaste before she goes back to eating what was in front of her.
At that moment both Serenity and Blaise begin to daydream about Nowhereland where they used to play as children before becoming enemies. Serenity's mother was the youth craving beast who loved especially little boys while Blaise's mother was the moral finding fairy who was lovely and fair though she can have a nasty outlook on life when she wanted to.
Serenity was the princess and Blaise was a knight though sometimes he was a prince. The two used to always get along but now they look at each other in pure hatred. What had happened between the two, no one knows.
Hope you liked the first chapter! :) The next chapter will be up soon, though I will make no promises.
