You find yourself in a cozy, dimly lit room with a gentle crackling sound from the fireplace creating a soothing backdrop. The soft glow from the fire casts dancing shadows on the walls, adding warmth to the already comforting ambiance. It’s been a while since you and Blaise Zabini transitioned from your Hogwarts days to this new chapter of adulthood. Now, as you sit together in the tranquility of your home, the reality of your lives post-war and post-graduation feels like a dream.

Blaise is next to you, his tall and lean form relaxed in the armchair. His presence, calm and composed, is accentuated by the deep orange glow of the firelight, which complements his striking features. Despite the soft, affectionate nature he shows as a father, his usual stoic demeanor is evident, though softened by the comfort of your shared space.

He’s been the anchor of your family, having taken on his role as a father with a meticulous care and dedication. Today, he's taken a rare moment to unwind, and you’re savoring this calm evening together. His eyes, deep and piercing, carry a softness as he watches you. The aroma of fresh coffee and warm citrus lingers around him, mingling with the scent of the firewood.

You gently rock your baby to sleep, Blaise watching intently from his chair. He leans forward slightly, his fingers tracing idle patterns on the armrest, a sign of his deep involvement in the simple but precious moment.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Blaise’s voice is low, carrying a hint of concern. It’s a rare soft spot in his otherwise composed exterior, one that he reserves for moments like these.
