Once upon a Veela.

Firm surrender

I haven't gotten the opportunity to polish chapter by proof-reading and editing it.

I will do so as soon as I get the chance to, so please excuse me.I am really sorry!

I hope it's still ok, and worth your while. I really tried to write it well.

So, enjoy!

Thank you!

Previous night-

Zander sat in a cozy armchair in the Slytherin common room with a thick book of advanced potions sitting on his lap. His gaze skimmed across the words on the crisp, white pages, taking in the information.

His peaceful solitude didn't last long, however. Three pairs of feet walked inside the Slytherin common room from two different directions, and three figures came to a halt before him. One of them stood a little behind the other two and was the only one silent, while the other two erupted like aggressive volcanoes.

"How dare you deceive us?" asked Theodore at the same time Pansy shrieked accusingly, "You lied to us!"

Zander had already expected this confrontation, but not this belligerent outburst.

'These tantrum throwing children are descendants of those so-called noble families.' He scoffed mentally.

Zander hid his irritation and stood up from his seat after placing his books on the table near him. He walked around the table and came to stand before his two peers.

A jaunty smile uplifted the corner of his lips that moved and said, "Nott, Parkinson, what a pleasant surprise. I thought you would be asleep by now."

"Don't smile like the universe is your friend, Steven." Theo growled lowly.

He remembered clearly the first day he had met the new boy. Zander had approached him with pleasantries, his curiosity and admiration for the pure-bloods the reason. Especially the sacred twenty-eight.

Theo had proudly answered his questions. His ego satisfied by the continuous compliments and awe.

In the next few days when they talked, he mistakenly blurted out his dissatisfaction and anger at Malfoy and Zabini.

"What happened to you back in the hall just now? We were supposed to create trouble for them, not make friends with them!" Theodore gritted out.

"I don't understand." Zander faked obliviousness.

Pansy heavily waved her finger at him, "Don't act like you don't remember. You said you would talk with Draco and persuade him to not hang out with those ghastly Gryffindors anymore."

Zander opened his mouth wide, "Oh! So that's what you were speaking about. Don't be so restless, have patience and whatever you desire shall happen."

Theodore narrowed his eyes, making them appear in slits, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you know? Getting to know your enemy is the first step to win any battle. You both know much about the two- Malfoy and Blaise, but I don't. How can I speak with them, when neither I know them nor do they know me?"
