Author's Note: Welcome to my first fanfiction! This story is an OC/Draco Malfoy pairing with appearances by many of our beloved Harry Potter characters. I cast Zendaya as Bellarose and the usual movie cast from HP to star as their characters.
P.S. All characters [except my OC's and the plot] are owed to the glorious queen JK Rowling.

Draco and his friends stood outside of the theatre losing patience with their Italian housemate who was, as usual, running late.
"My dear friends, here are your tickets," Blaise smiled approaching the others ignoring their irritated looks.
"Honestly Blaise, you invite us out to this ballet that none of us care for and then you are LATE to your own event," Pansy said irritably taking her ticket from him.
"I had some last-minute arrangements to make. We'll be sitting in a private balcony instead of the first few rows instead. I didn't want us to be a distraction," Blaise said smiling and turning towards his best mates handing them their tickets.
"Distraction? You mean my charms and dashing good looks could cause a ruckus?" Theo joked nudging Blaise with his shoulder.
"I'm sure Blaise means having the three wealthiest bachelors in Britain all sitting together and out in public might cause the women to lose their focus while performing," Draco smirked as Blaise chuckled at the egos his friends had.
"Come on, it'll be starting soon," Blaise shook his head holding out his arm to Daphne Greengass being raised a gentleman, as the others, it was second nature to escort a woman. Theo did the same to Pansy as well as Draco to Astoria.
The group of Slytherins all walked into the theatre immediately taking in their glamorous surroundings. They noticed that the crowd was a mix of muggle and wizards alike. Although there were several charms around the wizards and witches in the crowd to not be as noticeable to the muggles. Blaise led the group to golden stairs that led to the upper level where the balcony seats were. They walked into their private balcony space looking towards the stage from the right side. They saw that the theatre was near capacity with people still piling in.
"I take it this ballet company is well-known?" Daphne asked sitting next to Blaise.
"World renowned and damn near impossible to get tickets to, their prima ballerina is wanted by no less than 10 companies," he said excitedly turning towards the stage.
"It sounds like you're smitten Blaise. I thought I'd never see the day you were taken with a witch," Draco chuckled.
"It's not like that," Blaise mumbled straightening in his seat as the lights were lowered.
"What do you think it IS like?" Theo whispered in Draco's ear. Draco shrugged not completely understanding his mate, but knowing he'd find out later after the ballet.
The music began and the entire group was completely enthralled with the ballet. The show began with a showing of a family all dressed in black showcasing their strengths with swords and causing mischief. The focus from the family of black was a man with dark brown hair and fit physique. He was wearing black tights and a black loose shirt laughing with his fellow members. The lights then cut over to a family in white drinking and dancing merrily about. The women and men smiled at one another dancing to a soft beautiful tune playing from the orchestra when suddenly the group split letting a beautiful woman in a tea length white skirt emerge. She danced with the group, but it was obvious she was the focus for the white family. She was absolutely striking with her tan skin and beautiful smile.
Draco inhaled softly staring at her, she was beautiful. He was drawn to her watching her every movement and becoming completely entranced in her. Draco now knew exactly how Blaise could become smitten with her.
The ballet continued exposing a scenery of roses where the man from the black family and woman from the white family met. The scene was stunning as the two danced together weaving between the roses and emerging together ending the scene with the man quickly pecking the girl on the lips then running off as she laughed. The next scene had battles going on between the men from both the white and black families. It was terrible and the tension was thick in the air as the focus of both families weaved in and out of the chaos as they watched their families destroy each other. It ended with the fight being broken up as the father of the girl was lying dead on the floor. Crying softly, she made eye contact with her lover from the black family which led to the next scene of the two finding comfort from one another before racing to a priest where they were bound together as man and wife. The happy couple walked into the next scene holding hands when another battle between the families was occurring. Both sides ripped the couple apart and the fighting was the worst it's ever been. Fighting their own families to be together once more the couple raced through the crowd when suddenly the girl's brother stabbed his sword through the girl's husband's heart. She cried out clutching her own shirt above her heart. Racing towards him the crowd parted looking down on the heir of the black side. She cradled his head in her lap as he died with the music playing softly. Then her gown which was once white now began to slowly change to black as she laid on the floor next to her husband she pulled a vile out of her husband's pouch that was on his hip and drank it down. The scene ended with both families crying over the tragedy they inflicted on the star-crossed lovers and the spotlight ended on the couple, a girl in all black and a man in white with roses surrounding them.
"Wow," Theo said softly as the crowd gave a standing ovation while the curtains closed.
"That was..." Pansy began.
"Incredible."
"Amazing."
"Spectacular," Blaise smiled. The ballet company then appeared as the curtain lifted and took a bow altogether as the crowd cheered and clapped for them. The roar of the audience became deafening as the lead ballerina and ballerino came forward to take a bow. The curtains closed once more and the crowd began to leave. As the others stood, Blaise remained sitting.
"Blaise, come along it's over," Daphne said tugging on his hand.
"It takes about 20 minutes for them to change then leave their dressing rooms, I rather not be in the stampede leaving," he said remaining seated.
"You want to meet the ballerina?" Draco asked surprised at his bold friend. Blaise laughed outright clutching his stomach.
"My friend just wait," he said smirking. Theo and Draco looked at one another wondering what had gotten into their mate. The girls talked amongst themselves as they waited until Blaise stood and held his arm out once more.
The group walked down the stairs to the area that was still crowded, but less so than it would have been a few moments ago. They stood and drank champagne that was offered while talking amongst themselves when a cheer and clapping began at one side of the room. The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves as it parted for the lead dancers that were making their way through.
Draco felt his heart race and his throat dry as he finally saw the ballerina up-close. She was tan with chocolate eyes and deep brown hair along with full pouty lips, and a lovely physique lean with the right curves in the right places. She was wearing an all-white gown with white lace that looked like it laid upon her skin with nothing underneath showing her skin through the lace. The top was long-sleeved and high necked lace that went to her waist then flowed out into a soft white chiffon with a large slit up her right side. She wore nude heels elongating her legs and her hair was in a looser bun than she had on stage with diamond stars weaved throughout her hair. Draco couldn't take his eyes from her taking a sip of his champagne as he watched her interact with each person on her walk towards their group. He then grew tense as he saw her arm laced with the lead ballerino who was more fit up-close than Draco had anticipated. He had fine chiseled features and effortless grace to his step. Dark brown hair tousled in a deliberate way, Draco saw nearly every woman in the room come closer to approach him. He shook his head at how much of a prat this man seemed.
"Blaise!" the woman squealed letting go of her escorts arm and walked quickly over to Blaise who opened his arms for her. They embraced one another as if they were never meant to be apart. Draco felt a pang in his heart as he gazed at them then cleared his throat at the pair.
"Are these the snakes you mentioned?" Her soft voice said letting go of him but then slipped her arm through his.
"Indeed, my best mates Theo Nott and Draco Malfoy. Also, Pansy Parkinson with Daphne and Astoria Greengass," he said pointing towards each person introducing them. She smiled at each one then began giggling as he introduced her to them. "Everyone this is my twin sister Bellarose Zabini."
"Your sister?" Draco said reeling in the elation he felt knowing the two weren't intimate.
"What the hell mate why didn't you say anything?" Theo said frustrated at his friend's secrecy.
"Well you all knew I had a twin sister," he drawled chuckling. The girl's jaws dropped taking in the girl.
"You do look alike, how strange," Daphne murmured.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Bellarose," Pansy held out her hand to the girl who took it and shook it gingerly.
"Please call me Bella. Blaise has told me all about you, so it feels as if I know you already," she smiled a dazzling smile then looked at Draco who was still gob smacked.
"You okay Draco?" she said softly laying a hand on his sleeve.
His body burned with the contact of her hand on his arm and so not trusting his voice he simply nodded his head at her then smiled. She smiled back dropping her hand from his arm.
"Blaise, what did you think?" she asked eager and excited waiting for his response.
"You were completely breathtaking dear sorella. It's no surprise you're the world's leading prima ballerina," he smiled kissing her forehead.
"You really think so fratello?" she blushed showing even beneath her tan skin.
"Absolutely," Draco interjected and smiled at her.
"You were brilliant," Astoria piped in.
"We all loved it," Daphne said smiling at her.
"Bella?" The ballerino questioned coming closer taking in the group of people in expensive robes.
"Yes Miles, these are my brother's friends," she introduced each one to Miles who shook the hands of the men and kissed the back of each ladies' hands causing the girls to blush.
"Well, dinner?" he asked looking directly at Bella as he smiled at her. She smiled and shook her head, making Draco let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding.
"My brother is taking me out to celebrate, but another time?" she said.
"Look for my owl, I'll see you soon Bella," he smiled then turned and walked off.
"Since when did I agree to take you out?" Blaise smirked knowing immediately his sister wanted to spend time with him.
"Shut up, you've not seen me since Christmas of course you want to take me out to celebrate my amazing performance," she smirked at him then pulled him towards the doors stopping and talking with each person who walked up to her. As they walked outside, Bella breathed deeply taking in London.
"Glad to be home I take it?" Blaise smiled at her. "Listen you are all welcome to join us for dinner, but if you have other plans we won't be offended."
"I might be, seeing as how you all have the juicy stories on my brother," Bella joked nudging Blaise in the ribs.
"We would all love to join you," Theo answered as the others nodded.
"Then it's decided, where shall we eat dear sorella?" Blaise asked smiling at her.
"Surprise me," she laughed.
"French?" he asked knowing it was one of her favorites. She nodded enthusiastically. "Madame Dumont's it is then." Suddenly the twins apparated and were followed closely behind by the rest of the group.
