Blaise Zabini was not one for extravagant materialistic possessions despite what most people thought, but he couldn't deny as he lay on his plush bed in his dorm room was that it definitely helped him relax. Closing his eyes he wondered if he should even get up at all or just stay in his cosy little safe haven away from everything he was expected to be.
Tonight the was supposed to be celebrating one off his fellow Slytherins birthdays. He barely even knew him apart from sharing a common room and both of them being beaters on their quidditch team but that suited Blaise perfectly fine as he couldn't stand the boy, the same could be said for eighty percent of the Slytherin house.
A smirk automatically found its way on to his beautifully chiselled face as he thought about the last time he had actually had a conversation with Chayce.
The two of them where walking back from a late and illegal nights practice, quite a bit behind anyone else from the team as Blaise agreed to put the equipment away, he was unsure why Chayce stayed behind and helped him but he didn't ask he just went about packing everything up and not a word was spoken between the two off them.
He assumed he was avoiding someone and left it at that hoping to carry on the silence until they reached the dungeons. Sadly for Blaise and the unfortunate Hufflepuff they ran into, the idiot beside him started to run his mouth and thought it would be a fun idea to hurl some abuse at the kid who seemed to only be a second or third year.
While Chayce was calling the kid every vile and despicable name under the sun, Blaise blocked it out. The only things running through his mind at the time were questions as to why the little Hufflepuff was out of his dorm in the first place. Detentions wouldn't be this late,neither would Madam Pomfrey discharge someone from the hospital wing at this time. He doubted the headmaster would have wanted to speak to pupil at this time unless it was urgent.
These are the thoughts that run through his mind, while he kept the same bored expression in place. The very same expression he knew that most people took as arrogance.
An agonizing scream is what jarred him from his thoughts and what he saw in front of him disgusted him and actually made him feel slightly unwell. The seventeen year old Slytherin was repeatedly hexing the kid. He guessed that it wouldn't have been anything fatal as the guy casting the spell was more brawn than brain but nevertheless being hit by the same hex over and over obviously wasn't going to tickle.
Nonverbally and wandlessly he performed PetrificusTotalus on his house mate and didn't even watch as he fell flat on his face onto the castles stone floor. The second year also started to fall once Chayce had been stopped but his was easy to see due to exhaustion. Blaise focused on him as he had strode forward slowing the kid down before he hurt himself more than that idiot already had.
He dropped to his knees beside the kid the eyes that stared back at him held nothing but terror. '"Relax I'm not going to hurt you." whilst knowing that wasn't going to calm him down or make the boy trust him. He sighed and pulled out his wand, he muttered something while running it over the top of the boys body while the kid tried to get up and run. Blaise glared at the kid in the hope that it would make him stay still, shockingly it didn't. Gentle sobs came from the boys mouth and Blaise could see he was trying to move around more much to no avail.
He realised he didn't even know the kids name so he just straight out asked him. There was no reply so he asked again in a softer voice one that was rarely used. I think once the boy noticed that there wasn't any additional pain he must have thought 'fuck it', well not those exact words as he probably wouldn't say that but the same feeling off'I might as well, If a Slytherin is going to play games and drag out the torture the least I can do is go along with it and hope for my own sake that it would be over quick.'
"Tri-Tristan"
The boy ,Tristan finally stuttered. Looking back to make sure Chayce was still down and that no-one was coming. Blaise dropped his voice,
"listen Tristan I'm going to help take the pain away put I need you to stay still, okay?"
He regarded Blaise warily before finally nodding.
Starting up the incantation that he mastered years ago, he quickly rhymed it off and then stood back up and put his wand away. Tristan was still on the floor looking up at him. He wondered for a split second if i tdidn't work before shoving that thought out of his head, he knew it had. So why wasn't he getting up?
"Getup!" he snapped at the boy back to using his normal voice. Within seconds he was standing on his feet and moving without the slightest wince from pain. Blaise inwardly smiled but made sure not to show it,he didn't need some child following him around.
"Run along then!" He practically growled, then as an afterthought he added "don't mention this to anyone!"
Only once he had opened his eyes did he notice that he still had that smirk firmly in place. The look on Chayce's face when he finally let him up was utterly hilarious. First he was outraged, then he seemed to remember exactly what Blaise had done and suddenly his face lost every drop of colour. It looked as though he was about to sprout of some vague threats but I beat him to it and made sure that there wasn't any chance that Chayce would repeat any off what happened, Not me defending a Hufflepuff and certainly not any mention of how advanced I actually am with magic compared to what I use in class.
I'm sure the only reason I was invited was either because he hadn't heeded my advice and was looking to screw me over, or that he wanted to forget the whole thing. I hoped he would choose the second. That's not all that I'm stressing out about though, I've also been invited to some SlugClub. I have heard of it before but to me it sounds like a bunch a elitist tossers trying to one up each other and frankly he got enough of that right here. Maybe I should just stay in and study? Exams this year are nothing like last, even keeping up in class is actually a challenge for once.
Sighing I grab my covers and throw them over my head, I'm just gonna taking a nap.
A/N - Okay so this is going to be my first ever multi chapter story, I'm not going to lie I am very nervous about releasing this onto the internet as I normally just keep stories written in my notebook. Usually I only ever have time to write oneshots but I'm actually going to try and write a more in depth story. I sort of have a rough idea of where I want this to go so if you want me to upload it let me know. Thanks! Any Comments or Criticism would be very much appreciated.
