Mrs. Zabini was known for her beauty, her wealth, and the unfortunate tendency of her husbands to die young, and it was during one of her earlier marriages that a daughter was born. They named her Apolline Zabini, the child of a charming French wizard whose sudden death left Mrs. Zabini richer and newly widowed once more.
          	  
          	  Apolline grew up watching men come and go, learning early that elegance was armor and silence was power. By the time her mother remarried again and gave birth to Blaise, Apolline was already older, observant, and fiercely protective—well aware that in the Zabini family, survival often came dressed in black and gold.
