Not long left of this story to go :( I know there's hundreds of pairings out there but the story will end around chapter 28! Only three more to go after this one. Obviously if I come across a really interesting pairing then I'll add to it. This chapter is about the enigma that is Blaise Zabini.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters.

Blaise Zabini

Hello everyone, sometimes I sit here and just think over my years at Hogwarts and how much has changed since the beginning and how far Harry Ron and I have come in our journey. We have always been well known in Hogwarts hell we've faced that much it's no surprise that all students know us, and this is what got me thinking, I've been paired with the well-known boys and girls at Hogwarts and I've also been paired with those who aren't so well known; today I'll discuss one boy in particular. He's quiet and intellectual, best friend to Draco Malfoy, and a Slytherin. Blaise Zabini is an enigma who many see but can never give an opinion of.

Okay then so where to start, he's in my Arithmancy and Ancient Ruins class, and if I think back he's also third in the class behind me of course and Padma Patil. Arithmancy is mainly Ravenclaw's with myself and Blaise Zabini, all these facts point to the Italian Wizard being incredibly intelligent, a very attractive trait for me, which I'm sure you already know.

I'm not shallow but wow is that boy attractive, thick wavy hair that you just want to bury your hands into. His lips are plump and the way he chews on his bottom lip when he's focused on something should be illegal. His eyes are the most beautiful colour of dark blue, and his features are strong and defined, he's like a Greek god I once saw statues of when I went on holiday a few years ago. He's the Quidditch chaser for the Slytherin team and all those strenuous workouts have really paid off because he's stunning. I'll hold my hands up and admit that he's gorgeous and I completely understand why girls whisper and giggle about him because he can make you weak at the knees.

Everyone knows he's handsome and intelligent but that's all anyone knows, he's been in my classes for years now and yet that's all I know about him. He's an enigma. We learnt a few months back that his mother is some sort of beautiful black widow that's had several husbands that have all died mysteriously leaving her and her son an insane amount of money. The boy is literally loaded. I see him around school with Draco Malfoy but what's he like, he hardly ever speaks. What's his favourite colour, his favourite lesson, and pet? I could go around the school asking people these questions about Blaise Zabini but only one or two would be able to answer them.

The downside to being such a mystery is not knowing if he's trustworthy or not, the boy is so secretive that you don't even know if he's really on your side or if he's secretly stabbing you in the back. I've heard rumours about him being a Deatheater but they've never been confirmed, it's as though the rumour doesn't bother him. If the rumour is in fact true then it doesn't matter how attractive he is, I'm not interested. If I'm honest however I don't think he is a Deatheater though, I don't know why but it's a feeling I have.

It shouldn't be a negative but until I leave school it is, Zabini is a Slytherin. Gryffindors and Slytherins have a rivalry that goes back to the beginning of Hogwarts. I can't be seen dating a Slytherin it's just one of those things. Anyway after all the years of being bullied by one, the idea of cuddling on the sofa with one doesn't sound inviting. I'll probably get gum stuck in my hair or something.

I've read a good amount of Zabini fics and the selection amuses me. One I do find funny is the gender swap. Yes you heard me gender swap. It seems Blaise is such a huge mystery that even you've being wondering about his gender, I've found stories where I'm a lesbian and I've romantically and sexually involved with a female Blaise Zabini. It's amusing to say the least but I'll classify this for you. Blaise Zabini is male, so now you all know I don't want to see any new female Zabini fics.

Another really common one is where I'm secretly the twin sister of Blaise Zabini and I was hidden in a Muggle family because of the danger I was under from Voldermort. On my 17th birthday my true identity is revealed and I'm shocked, sometimes I'm forced into Slytherin and sometimes I chose to live with my biological parents. Nearly always I fall in love with one of his best friends and my brother is never happy about it, Harry and Ron fall out with me because of my true heritage. So firstly I think it's only fair that I remind you that I am in fact biologically the Grangers, I've seen my birthing video. Secondly why do you always have Harry and Ron hate me for this, it's not my fault I'm biologically not what they thought. I wouldn't mind the story if you didn't make me move house and make Harry and Ron fall out with me. I'm not overly fond of falling in love with Blaise's best friends but I guess I can make an exception.

The ever infamous Marriage law story rears its ugly face again and this time my supposed husband is Blaise Zabini, we usually end up married and have a child or two, the epilogue usually involves me waving goodbye to my eldest child as they leave for Hogwarts, or my new born baby being born. This story is getting really repetitive now, I'm losing the will to even dismiss this story. Your dead set on having me married to someone.

I've read some rather dark stories, where Blaise Zabini is a Deatheater and I'm given to him as a slave when we lose the war. Usually I'm completely against the idea of being his slave but eventually I start to fall in love with him, he changes from being ruthless and uncaring to loving me and treating me as a free woman. Okay guys firstly we won the war, secondly under no circumstance whatsoever will I ever be someone's slave, not even that but why would I love someone who is my supposed master, it's just wrong. Please don't write this, it's a really cruel thing to do to a person don't you think.

You like threesomes I've noticed, firstly I was paired with Fred and George, then with Harry and Ron and now you like me with Malfoy and Zabini. Why I ask you, why! What do you think would truly happen between us? We are not having hot sex in the Heads common room, nor in a broom closet, a flat in London or in a classroom. Hell the three of us aren't even friends, we're defiantly not shagging like horny rabbits.

Moving on, sometimes you make stories that focus simply around Blaise and I being deeply in love, we have a family or just starting one. We are sometimes at school enjoying a romantic evening, and sometimes we are just friends at work with one of us having a huge crush, which eventually involves us becoming a couple. It's all very mushy and cute and if I'm honest I quite like it.

Now in past stories where I'm paired with Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini is usually dating Ginny Weasley. Now I'm not trying to push her on to him, but I became curious and I read a few stories involving them, it's really quite cute and they do make a really attractive couple.

The most obvious pairing is Draco Malfoy, you can have a sexual relationship with him because you really like Blaise being a bisexual. They do make a really attractive gay couple. If you're not one for gay couples then you have a prank war between them, a friendship story or even a bet about who can get the girl.

I've seen a few Pansy and Blaise stories out there and for some reason I can really see it working, Malfoy doesn't give her the time of day so why not go for the attractive Italian. They're both Slytherin and obviously known one another since they were young. So why not get them married and give them a few children.

If you don't like Malfoy like I'm sure many of you don't you can always pair Blaise with Theodore Nott, those two always seem to be together so you never know they maybe in fact a lovely couple all ready. Give it ago you never know what might happen.

I haven't got much left to say, Blaise Zabini is one hell of an attractive teenager, who is intelligent and mysterious. I've read far worse pairings than this one. I wish I could say more on the pairing but I really can't and I've also run out of time I've got rounds to do. This story is nearly complete, I've only a couple more pairings to do. It'll be awfully sad when I finish but for the time being I'll see you again in the next instalment of Hermione Speaks Out. Bye!

Hope you all liked it, thanks for reading.
