Maybe we aren't all that different (Blaise Zabini)

Letters

Trigger Warning- mentions of self harm

Blaises POV

I woke up to a soft knock at the door. I immediately sat up as I tried to slow my heart rate and find my bearings. I stood up carefully while holding onto the bed post. I walked to the door opening it carefully to find who was there. I found a small house elf politely waiting for me.

"Mr. Zabini sir. I have a word from Master Draco. He asks that you stay in your room for the day." Stay in my room for the day? I am staying in his mansion where I could go days without someone finding me but he asks me to stay in my room.

"What?"

"Master Draco asks that you stay..."

"I know he asks that I stay in here but did he say why?"

"I had no other words sir."

"Okay than thank you. You can go now. But bring me something from the kitchen please."

"Of course sir." The elf scurried away down the halls and to the stairs.

What the fuck? He can't possibly think that I am going to spend all my time in here does he. He's such a dick sometimes. No he's a dick most of the time I just put up with his bull shit to much.

I fell back into the huge bed hoping that maybe I could get more sleep but my body wouldn't allow me to. My stomach has been turning since I got here. I was to on edge to try and sleep.

I grabbed a book that I had borrowed from school off of the side table. I scrolled through the pages not actually reading what it said but skimming the words. The room was quiet and the silence was annoying but I tried to focus back on the book hoping it would drown my thoughts.

There was a tapping noise at the window and I turned to find an owl with a letter. I happily got up opening the window carefully and taking the letter. I recognized the hand writing immediately as it was the neat writing of my mom.

Dear Blaise,

I hope you have settled in well at the Malfoy's. I have talked to Narcissa and she says that she will keep me updated on everything. Even though she will I expect you to as well. I will come over on Christmas to visit. Trevor and I will come to the manner to spend time with you. The Malfoy's have invited us. I started speaking to an old friend of mine she said she has a niece that's your age. You might know her. Her names Harley Vixen. My friend is her Aunt, Lori Vixen. Their family has an annual New Year's Eve ball and we have been invited. They invite the Malfoy's every year so you can go with them and I will meet you there. Hope to talk to you soon.

Your mother

I skimmed over the letter one last time before folding it and tucking it into the bedside tables drawer. I sat back into the bed as a short smile crept through my lips.

I guess I will see Ace this break. Not only do I get to see Ace I get to see Ace in a gorgeous dress. We get to dance around a fancy ball.

Dance around a fancy ball in front of both of our families. This isn't going to be an amazing night this is going to be a night of torcher. I have to watch my girl dance around in a dress with other guys because no one can know we are together.

I sat down at the desk as I pulled a piece of parchment out with my quil and ink. I stared at the piece of parchment for a moment figuring out how I would like to answer.

Dear mother,

I'm glad you can come over for Christmas. Draco and I are going shopping tomorrow morning for everyone's presents. I happen to know Harley Vixen. She is best friends with one of my friends so I have spent some time around her. Not a lot. I don't know her that well. Do I need a new suit for this ball? Hope your doing well.
