Disclaimer: I do not own harry potter nor do i own most of the characters that will be mentioned here. I do however own the plot line as well as Nadia (Naah-dia stress on first 'a'), her family, Kyro (pronounced Kiii like a long 'I' and roh), and other unfamiliar characters.

Thoughts done in italic and bold.

"Nadia" I hear my mom's voice call through my haze of sleep.

"Naaaadia" It's Ginny.

"Hmmmm" I answer.

"Darling I just let an owl though the wards and I think it's from the young man you're seeing. I think you better get up before Hermione takes it from the owl, you know we are all dying to find out who this mystery man is. Your aunt is downstairs and you know that her and Hermione left alone just spells mischief" my mother says and I hear Ginny laugh. Naturally when my mom and Hermione found out about Blaise and I they took it upon themselves to let my aunt, Ginny, Lavender, and Luna know. It's been two months and a half and things are going great. Blaise and I have been out multiple times both with and without Kyro. He is the perfect gentleman and he's also exceptionally funny.

I roll over and rub my eye's "Okay, okay, I'm up. Keep your grubby little hands off of my letter."

"I wish you would just tell us already." My mom says exasperated.

"Soon."

"Mmhmm…well anyway we all wanted to go shopping today so I hope you didn't make any special plans. We haven't had a girl's day out in a while." My mother says and she's right. We haven't been out in a while. Normally we would all go shopping, to lunch, to a play, or even just a beach somewhere where we can catch some sun and get away from England's weather.

"Take it, I don't think I can contain myself any longer" I look towards the door and there is my aunt and Hermione looking thoroughly put out that they have not opened the letter. I notice the owl on her shoulder and that she hasn't removed the letter. The owl recognizes me and flies towards me. I retrieve the letter from his leg and he waits for a reply.

Dear Beautiful,

I hope you've had a wonderful morning so far. I've actually been up from half six and I can't stop thinking about you. I'd really love it if we could meet up later. Go to lunch maybe?

Counting the minutes until I see you,

Blaise

I grin to myself. He is so sweet. I feel a presence over my shoulder and I quickly hug the letter to myself.

"Nadia honestly cut the theatrics" my mother says and I laugh because I love keeping them in suspense.

"Will you just tell us who this boy is already? Goodness!" my aunt exclaims and I shake my head.

"You guys will just ruin it with embarrassing photos and questions." I reply.

"What are you talking about, of course we wouldn't" my mom says faking an affronted look with her hand placed on her chest.

"Sure you wouldn't" I reply sarcastically. "Oh, this is a picture of her when she was one and a half and she just figured out to take off her pamper, she was naked all over the house" I said in a really good impression of my mom.

Everyone burst into laughter. "I remember that one" Luna says.

"Me too." Lavender says holding back tears of laughter

"My point exactly, Oh and let's not forget what questions both you and auntie would ask- Are you ready for a committed relationship? You have a child already are you willing to have anymore? Our Nadia isn't getting any younger you know. How many grandkids or grandnieces or nephews can I expect?" They both just roll their eyes.

I sigh, conjure a piece of paper and summon the pen off of my night table.

Dear Blaise,

I actually have plans with my mother, cousin, aunt, and a few friends. It's a girl's day out. So maybe we can catch up later, for dinner or something. I miss you too and I'll see you later papi.

Lots of kisses,

Nadia :*

"Hurry up and get ready so we can go." Lavender says. I roll the piece of paper and attach it to the owls' leg. I get up walk him to the widow, unlock it and allow him to leave the wards, I also change them so that he can come and go freely next time.

We have been to a lot of clothing, shoe, and perfume stores. It's time to head home. "Wait, have you guys done anything yet?" Hermione asks me.

"What are you talking about?"

"Honestly Nadia when it comes to this topic you are about as naïve as they come" my aunt says

"Yes" my mother agrees "Maybe we should give you some tips because I assume from your answer you guys haven't as yet…well at least we know he is a gentleman" and i realize what they are referring to.

I nod "We haven't but I don't need any pointers"

"Sure you do, we're all experienced here minus you we could teach you things." Luna says.

"Oooh, what about buying some sexy lingerie?" Lavender asks.

"N-" but I'm cut off.

"That's a great idea!" Ginny exclaims.

"Guys really I-" but I stop myself because I know it makes no sense to argue with these women.

-:):):)-

I'm trying on the last piece of lingerie out of about thirty and I'm dreading going outside because I will be bombarded with more sex tips; they've already talked about kegals, oral, and a whole barrage of different positions. I look at what I'm wearing. It's a deep forest green negligee that hardly covers my bum and a matching lacey thong. I sigh. Oh well time to face the wolves. I step out of the dressing room.

"You look great." Luna says "That shade of green really works for you."

"Did your common go to that warty school?" my aunt asks oblivious to everyone's curious stare at what's she's said.

"Yes, he did he was actually in that Slither house, the one with the snake."

"Isn't their house color green?" my mom asks

"I think so, with their animal being a snake and all."

"I've heard the kids that went to that school are very patriarchal. So he'll love the color." My mom nods in approval and lets the employee know that we'll take all of the pieces that I've tried on.

"Wait did you just say your boyfriend is a slytherin?" Ginny ask looking appalled.

"Was" I reply.

"Does it make a difference he was still one of those snakes." Hermione says with and equally disgusted look.

"Guys come on, don't be prejudice didn't we fight the war to end that?" Lavender asks and Luna nods in agreement. "We all know Nadia is a great girl and she wouldn't get involved with someone who isn't a nice person and need I remind you Hermione that you are married to Draco?"

"You're right, I'm sorry Nadia." Hermione says and Ginny apologizes as well.

"Well I'm also dating an ex-slytherin so I have no qualms about your choice of guy." Luna says with a mischievous grin.

"Thanks Lu, Blaise is actually really wonderful, you guys will love him I-" then I realized my mistake.

"Blaise hmmm?" my aunt asks and I can see both her and my mother skimming though their heads of the common families.

"Blaise Zabini?" My mother asks and I nod, it makes no sense to lie to her. "Son of Zarah Zabini, Widowed seven times…Interesting." My mother says after a few seconds and my aunt nods in agreement.

"Wow…seven times?" I ask and my mother nods "I didn't know that."

"Blaise Zabini!" Hermione exclaims and I nod. "Are you sure?" I nod again "He is married you know?" and my face falls and so does my heart.

"But!" Ginny exclaims "Not happily so, so don't you think about getting depressed on us."

"Yeah she's right" Hermione says "He has a wife but she has a boyfriend and they continuously cheat on each other… it was an arranged marriage so they both aren't very happy. They both know about each other's infidelities."

"So what you're saying is that I'm just a mistress then? A little side fling or something?" Damn it I should have known, he was too good to be true.

"No I don't think so." Luna says "He normally just has sex with a woman and calls it quits. I've never seen him stick around for so long."

"Well she is a virgin maybe he's on a mission" Hermione says thoughtlessly but catches herself "Or not… maybe he just really likes you." But it's too late her comment really hit home. I feel used. He was just going to get in my pants and throw me out like yesterday's trash. I want to cry, in fact I feel the hot tears sliding down the side of my face. I was really starting to fall for him, but I should have known, I've had no experience in this sort of relationships and so many girls have gone through heart breaks, why should I think that I was special? Why did I think that I would get away home free? They say young love never last and maybe it's true even though mine barely began. But it can't be right? Look at all the successful examples around me; my mum, Hermione, Ginny, Lavender, and even Luna's relationship is coming on strong. Maybe I'm just not that lucky, maybe no one will ever love me.

Maybe it was a good thing that I found this out before I had completely fallen for him, because if it hurts this much now I can't imagine how it would feel if I found out later. I feel arms hug me and realize I am sitting on a stool, in a lingerie store in some lingerie, and bawling my eyes out. "Shhhhh darling I know it hurts" my mother says "Everything will be okay. Shhh come to mummy" and like a child I put my head in the crook of her neck and cry.

"Nadia I'm sorry… I really could be wrong about him. You know sometimes I just say things out loud that I don't mean." I don't answer.

"Sweetie?" my aunt says. "Why don't you go put on your clothes and we'll take you for a strong drink or ice cream if you prefer."

I lift my head. "Drink please." I get up and walk towards the changing room.

-:):):)-

We are at a bar and so far I've had a rum punch, two shot of tequila, hypnotic on the rocks, and a glass of champagne. "Another shot please. Anything will be fine."

"No" my mother says to the bartender. "No more. Honestly darling when your aunt said a drink she meant one, drinking doesn't solve your problems, you need to face them head on and if you need someone to talk to you can talk to me, your aunt, or any of your friends you know that."

I nod, it's true. I don't need a man to make me happy I was perfectly happy before and from this day forward I will not make myself this vulnerable for heartbreak and disappointment ever again. I've learned my lesson. Bloody snake.

I look at the clock on the wall, it's now 9:36 "I think I should go now." I start to get up.

"I'll take you." My mother stands.

"No really I'm ok." She gives me a look and gets the rest of my bags from my aunt and we disappear to my house. When we arrive I see his owl perched on my sofa with two letters by its leg. My mom reaches for them but I stop her. I retrieve them and tell the owl to go a few times but he is waiting for a reply. I finally pick him up and rest him outside of the windowsill and close the window.

"Honey, do you want me to stay with you?"

"No mom it's fine, I just want to be alone right now."

"Okay I will call you in the morning or I'll just come and see you" I nod "Don't do anything silly okay?" I nod again and sit on the sofa. She stands for a bit and stares at me but eventually disappears. I take this opportunity to open the letters.

Dear Nadia,

That's fine, we can just go for dinner at 8, or we could have dinner at the manor. Which ever you prefer just let me know.

Blaise

Cara,

Please write back and let me know if you are busy. It's now 9 and I am really worried. Please just put my mind at ease.

Anxiously waiting on your reply

Blaise

I feel like crying again but I won't. I see why he was in the snake house, he is very cunning. I actually thought he cared about me but if he did I would have known about his wife and the whole bad marriage situation but no. I know how these commons operate, family name is everything. So I would be a fool to even think for a second that he would ruin his family name by taking me on as anything more than a mistress. Though with the amount of husbands his mother has had I'd say the family name is a bit tarnished. But she is a woman and he a man and the common wizarding world normally looks more favorable upon men and expect aristocratic behavior from them. I hear a loud pecking and realize that it is the owl again. Why didn't I lock the wards? I magically unlock the window and the owl flies in, I take the letter from his beak and he pecks my finger. The little bastard.

Darling,

Please answer and let me know what's wrong. Link would not have returned had he not seen you. Are you alright? If I don't get a reply I'm coming over.

Blaise

I conjure a piece of paper and a pen. Like he could even get into my wards without my permission. I shake my head and write my reply.

I'm fine.

I tie it to the owl's leg that I now know as Link and send him off. I head upstairs and deposit all my new things carelessly into the linen closet in my bathroom, and then I have a shower. It hasn't even been fifteen minutes and I feel a disturbance in my wards- someone is trying to get in, but the floo keeps sending them back to where they are coming from. It's Blaise. My wards recognize him but won't let him in without my say so.

I finish my shower, brush my teeth, and put my hair into two braids and wrap it in a silk scarf. When I get into bed I hear a tapping and I know its Link. I wave the window open and he flies over to my bed. I take the letter.

Nadia,

What is the matter? I really am starting to worry. Why did you block me from your wards? Darling please just let me know that everything is okay. I'm on the verge of calling for some aurors to come and check on you

Blaise

I sigh, reach for the pen on my night side table and flip over the back of his paper and write on it. I decide to just tell him straight up and not beat around the bush.

Blaise,

I'm fine, no need to call in the Calvary. I just think its best that we stop seeing each other. I'm not really feeling right about this relationship and I think we should stop now before it develops any further. I hope you understand.

Nadia

I don't mention what I know. He didn't tell me and I won't bring it up.

-BPOV-

I'm pacing back and forth. Please hurry up. My heart is beating out of my chest and I just want to know whether or not she's ok. When I realized it was an hour after she normally shows up I'm worried. Her letters have never been like this- so vague and it's really worrying me. I don't know any family members of hers I can contact and I can't get through her wards. Merlin, I just want to know if she is okay. I hear a noise and realize Link has just flown in. Finally.

Blaise,

I'm fine, no need to call in the Calvary. I just think its best that we stop seeing each other. I'm not really feeling right about this relationship and I think we should stop now before it develops any further. I hope you understand.

Nadia

I finish reading and I have to read again. "What?!" I read again. She can't be serious, what the fuck am I supposed to understand from that? I see no 'I'm kidding' or 'just joking' on the parchment. I flip it to see if I missed a part and realized she just carelessly wrote on the other side of my note.I flip it a few more times just to be sure. My heart clenches and I have to sit down. This can't be real. I thought we were getting serious. I would do anything for this woman. How could she do this? I can hardly breathe, I'm literally fighting to catch my breath. I feel helpless and alone. There is an empty hole forming in my chest. I've never felt this way for a girl before… I think I may love her. What brought about this change? Has she found someone else. "No don't say that!" I shout at myself "She. Is. Mine!" am I going crazy? The room is spinning.

"Is master alright? Ivy hears master shouting I-" I don't hear the rest everything turns black.
