blaise zabini did not sign up for this. in fact, had he known, he would specifically taken steps to avoid this scenario altogether. but then, that was the problem, was it not? he did know that somewhere, deep down, within the composition of his bones was the slightest tinge of seer blood.
and that? that was a problem. despite the perfect, sculpted features inherited from his mother, his mind was full of imperfections, kaleidoscopic crystals with reflections of futures and possibilities and uncertainties. an inheritance from his long-dead father.
(blaise had so many questions to ask his ghost once)
right now though, he wants this to go away. the recurring dream every morning since the end of the war. it is supposed to be over- the dark lord is gone, all is supposed to be well. but his breakfast refuses to stay down, the dark circles giving his reflection a skull-like appearance.
he sees harry potter's green eyes, malfoy's pale blond hair. the headache becoming more prominent with each repeated word:
/at the return of eternal darkness — at the return of eternal darkness — /
