Relationships: Draco Malfoy/Pansy Parkinson/Blaise Zabini
They're heroes, perhaps, but they're Slytherin heroes, they're proper young men and women. Respectable.
There are days when Draco really wishes that Blaise would be jealous of his being the one to marry Pansy, if only because it might make him feel less miserable about it. Not that he doesn't want to be married to Pansy - he'd sooner declare himself a fervant supporter of revealing the Wizarding World to Muggles than try to tear himself away from Pansy and Blaise...
And that's really it, right there. It's not just Pansy he wants. And he knows Blaise is as invested in him as Blaise is invested in Pansy.
But no one can know. That Pansy has a lover, or that Draco might have a mistress, those are deviances that can be tolerated. Even the idea that Draco and Blaise might fuck on occasion, or all three might be in bed together, that's not entirely out of the realm of what society will overlook.
That all three of them are more than that? No. They cannot know. No one can know. Draco isn't Harry Potter, and his lovers aren't Hermione Granger or Padma Patil. They aren't the darlings of the world who can get away with anything because they destroyed a Dark Lord. They're heroes, perhaps, but they're Slytherin heroes, they're proper young men and women. Respectable.
Even when Draco really wants to tell the world to fuck off, and wants to be the unrespectable, irresponsible, flagrantly improper man in love with both his wife and his male lover.
