The first time Blaise Zabini met a wizard who was gay, he was about nine years old and he was with his mother. It was nighttime, and they were meeting an associate of Francesca Zabini’s in a little pub right inside Knockturn Alley.

As they were walking, they had spotted two wizards holding hands. One wizard, who had dark, curly hair and the most striking blue eyes, swept his finger across the other’s cheek and kissed him on his lips. He had a smile that danced across his face.

Blaise had noticed all of this and was not disgusted. He had thought it was perfectly natural. Until-

“That type of deviancy has no place in our world, darling!” His mother had pulled him close to her to keep himself from touching the men. They walked away, but Blaise turned around, a little more than intrigued by the sight.

The man who had instigated the kiss had caught the young boy’s eye and his lips had curved upwards. The man gave Blaise a smile, one that he thought was pleasant, as well as . . . somethingelse.

At the same time, Blaise did not know what to make of the odd tingle that had shot through his body as he watched the men walk away.

The first time Blaise Zabini saw Eddie Carmichael, it was late evening, heading right into the night. Blaise was sitting Draco Malfoy in the library and they were but a few metres away from the Ravenclaw and his friends.

Blaise noticed nothing other than Eddie's mouth.

There was a resemblance to that man who had smiled at him in Diagon Alley. Blaise winced; why the hell he was thinking about that man now was beyond him.

He watched Carmichael’s mouth move as he smiled, talked and laughed with his own study group. But he never missed the particular way his lips peaked in the center - strong, assertive, and handsome-

He shook himself out of it. “Fuck!” He rubbed his eyes with his hands.

Draco arched a perfectly arrogant eyebrow. “What in Salazar’s name has got into you?”

Blaise blinked, looked over at Eddie, and back at Draco, and composed himself by frowning. “Just those over there,” he nodded at the table full of fifth year Ravenclaws, all laughing and fawning over Eddie as he spoke about whatever. He sneered at them. “Those stupid, little Mudblood eagles. Half-bloods too. All sitting at that table.”

He glanced shiftily towards Draco, managing a sneer that was far too easy.

Disgusting!

Thinking about those things is disgusting, Zabini.

So just stop already!

Draco snorted. He lifted up his wand at the Ravenclaws, waving it as one would to cast the Killing Curse. “I’ve always said that idiot Headmaster had far too low standards here. And I don’t care if they’re the smartest of this wretched lot!” He leaned forward to Blaise. “Their blood is filthy!”

Blaise smirked in response, and he took notice of them again. But this time, he saw that Eddie’s attention had left his own table and was now watching him. Although his eyes lingered on the Ravenclaw’s own for just a couple of seconds, they fell to the boy’s lips.

And much to his disgust, he could not stop staring.
