Ik you’ve got most the hp charecters with an Indian reader, but what about yan. Blaise zabini with an Indian reader lol?
YANDERE BLAISE ZABINI X INDIAN READER
If this offended anyone I apologize in advance, my intention was not to offend you and if you feel offended by it, I'll take it down
He was supposed to hate you and loathe every single part of you, he hated the way you sounded so melodious when you spoke in your native language with someone or when he saw you in those beautiful Ghagra cholis and sarees and lehangas. He hated the way his heart grew soft and warm when it came to you and yet he finds himself getting drawn towards you. He's appalled at himself for taking an interest in you and yet he despises seeing you hanging around those gits from Gryffindor and his eyes narrow to slits whenever he sees you laughing at something that blood traitor Weasley said. It infuriates him even more when you speak to other people about your culture except for him, it's like you're indirectly telling him that he's not good enough for you. How dare you give your attention to someone else other than him? He doesn't really make an issue and a scene about it though, he just broods with a stoic yet seething rage bubbling inside him whenever you interact with someone that's not him
One day during the Potions class, you got berated by Snape for messing up the potion and your eyes prickled with tears as you huffed under your breath. "Vedhava...gadidha mokhamoda(Translation from Telugu to English: Donkey faced fool) '' you grumbled to yourself under your breath and Blaise was intrigued by what you said. Of course, part of him felt slightly bad and somewhat sympathetic when he saw your eyes prickle with tears but his feelings of sympathy was thrown out the damn window when he spotted one of your pesky friends telling you that he'd tutor you later in Potions. After a somewhat polite yet life threatening chat which involved Blaise threatening to use the unforgivable curses on your annoying friend after slamming him against the wall, he found you in the library reading as he smirked to himself, feeling proud that he was finally able to have his moment with you
However he managed to compose himself and maintained his usual stoic demeanor and approached you as he pulled a chair next to you and sat next to you coming up with an instant excuse for his actions. "Professor Snape asked me to tutor you in Potions since you're absolutely deplorable at it'' he replied as you rolled your eyes but sighed as you accepted your fate. You expected him to be condescending and rude because of the way he was with the other people but with you, he was surprisingly patient. His eyes would often trail towards your hands which was covered in Mehendi designs to your arms and he couldn't help but think that your hands looked stunning with those intricate floral patterns on your hands. "What's that on your hand?" he asked you and you told him about your cousin's wedding that you attend a month ago and he seemed quite interested in listening to more about your culture and traditions
At the end of the tutoring session, he asked you what exactly you'd muttered during the Potions class and when you told him about it, his lips tugged upwards into an amused grin and let out a soft chuckle. You definitely were an interesting one in his eyes. As a way of thanking him for tutoring you, you decided to treat him to some of your favorite Darjeeling tea and he watched your beautiful mehendi designed hands prepare some Darjeeling tea for him. He took one sip and was instantly impressed with the enriching taste and flavor and let out a quiet approving hum of contentment while the two of you sat in comfortable silence drinking Darjeeling tea. You told him you'd visited Darjeeling when you were a kid and spoke of the lush greenery there and how it's mainly known for its tea and the scenic breathtaking views of especially the Kanchenjunga mountains. He listened to your every word with rapt attention and his mind started wandering and thinking about scenarios of the two of you heading to Darjeeling one day. There was no denying it anymore, he was growing infatuated with you
He adores seeing how flustered you get when he picks up speaking in Hindi just to see your embarrassed expressions. He'll pick up speaking those romantic quotes called Shayaris to see you blush and he finds it endearing how you're at a loss for words. He has a smirk on his face as he caresses your cheek and spouts out a Shayari like "Gulmohar, Harisinghar aur Palash ke phool jis mausam mein din raat barsenge, barrish ki tarah main milunga tumse...(Translation from Hindi to English: Like the flowers of the Gulmohar, the Harisinghar and the palash that shower on you day and night, the same way my love for you never fades away just like the continuous rains of the monsoon. Taken from the TV show Prithvi Vallabh which is one of my FAVORITE shows of all time in Indian TV shows). You just stare at him and he loves the way you look so surprised and caught off guard
He's very interested in knowing more about your culture and traditions and will do some research and read books to know more and is pleasantly surprised when you can even speak in Hindi as well. He's very fascinated with the Indian epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana and tales of Indian gods and goddesses as well. He likes to hear about Arundhati and Vashishta as the perfect couple and thinks very highly of the pure spiritual love Lord Krishna and Radha have for each other. You've introduced him to Indian delicacies such as Chole Bhature(It is a combination of fried bread called Bhatura and spicy chickpeas which are called chole), Dosas(A dosa is a thin, savory crepe in South Indian cuisine made from a fermented batter of ground white gram and rice. Dosas are served hot, often with chutney and sambar), Vada Pavs(A vegetarian fast food dish native to the Indian state of Maharashtra. The dish consists of a deep fried potato dumpling placed inside a bread bun sliced almost in half through the middle. It is generally accompanied with one or more chutneys and a green chili pepper) and such but his favorite would have to be the Aloo Parathas(North Indian whole wheat flabreads with a spiced potato filling), he loves the way the spices blend together and likes the savory taste of the cold curd to go along with it
He can understand why Chai(Tea) is an emotion for you, he looks forward to having garam masala chai with you during the evenings especially when it rains, while the two of you listen to songs of popular singers such as Arjith Singh, Armaan Malik, Sid Sriram and Anirudh Ravichander while there's only the light of the Diya(An Oil lamp) to illuminate the room to make it more romantic and serene
He's somewhat amused with you complaining about the lack of logic in Indian movies sometimes but likes watching them with you. He likes the detail and cinematography that goes into making such films, especially RRR and Padmaavat. As much as he'd never admit it to you out loud for the sake of his ego, he actually likes movies which have sentimental meanings behind them such as Taare Zameen Par, 12th Fail, Chhichhore and 3 Idiots and such. There are Indian TV shows he likes watching with you as well such as Yeh Un Dino Ki baat hai, which he thinks is quite a nice love story between Naina and Sameer, Operation MBBS, Kota Factory and such. The two of you like making fun of the illogical scenes that take place in TV shows that defy the laws of physics and humanity like a lady literally falling into a suitcase, someone literally picking off a piece of the moon and such which amuse him greatly but likes to listen to you rant about it while he has an amused smile on his face. He also thinks it's quite adorable and cute whenever you switch to cussing in Hindi
When you tell him about the burden you've faced as a kid from your parents and relatives and how they always expected you to be the so called golden child of the family, he could sense your sadness which made him infuriated with your family. His expression instantly soured when you told him about your struggles regarding your education before you arrived at Hogwarts and his jaw clenched slightly in anger. He simply held your hand and traced gentle patterns on the back of your hand while you both sat in comfortable silence. He didn't like the way your parents compared you to other people, frankly he thought they were quite blind and silly not to realize how talented and precious you were. His heart truly does go out for you when he hears about how you've questioned your self worth plenty of times just because you got horrible scores before which fuels his obsession to protect you and keep you safe from such nonsense and toxicity
Of course, there are times when he does get insanely possessive as well and for a completely IRRATIONAL reason too. He heard you play the Veena and the flute and he felt himself getting lost in the magic of your melodious tunes, it was like you played the songs of the gods. He had a soft smile on his face, reserved solely for you when he saw your face etched in concentration while you created the most soulful music he'd ever heard. His mind started thinking of other people hearing your music which filled his heart with a cold fury. No one else deserved to hear your melody, it was meant and reserved only for him, the rest were all undeserving scumbags and prats in his opinion. The first time he saw you in a Bharatnatyam or Kuchipudi dance getup, he swore to Merlin his heart almost stopped beating. You looked like a goddess or an apsara who descended from the heavens above as you looked ethereal and had that radiant glow on you with your jewelry, your dress, your makeup and the jasmine flowers adorning your silky smooth hair. He couldn't take his eyes off you as his eyes followed your every movement when you danced, you were truly an Indian goddess, the way your eye movements coordinated with your leg movements and the Mudras when you performed your dance with the sound of the anklets resonating around you...you looked divine. After your dance was done, he told you that you did a wonderful dance and complimented you for it. If you're struggling to remove your anklets he'll put your foot on his lap and smirk in amusement at your bashful expression while he helps you take off your anklets
You'll invite him to one of your cousin's weddings at some point and he's very intrigued by everything that happens there. He'll be dressed in a gold and green kurta while you're dressed in a green Ghagra choli or a green saree with intricate gold borders and your body would be adorned with gold jewelry and you'd have the traditional maang tikka(An ornament worn on the forehead) and he'd just stare at you unable to say anything for a few seconds as he drinks in your elegance and radiant divine beauty. While your cousin is dressed in the red bridal saree, he can't wait for you to be dressed in a red bridal saree as well getting married to him. He pays close attention to detail and all the traditional customs and rituals, he likes the way the bride and the groom go around the holy Yagnam 7 times, he thinks it's a nice way of offering vows in the presence of the fire to unite the couple. After the wedding ceremony was finished, you and Blaise were at the banquet hall for the dinner and you mentioned that you were heading to the food counters to get some desserts. No sooner had you gone there, some guy snuck his arm around your waist and started hitting on you with all sorts of cheesy pick up lines. Blaise spotted this and his eyes narrowed to slits as he strode towards you and the guy and twisted his hand. If you think he'd be spared, you thought wrong. He'd personally deal with the bloody git who dared to touch you by cornering him in a secluded area away from the guests and use the Sectumsempra spell on him and feels sadistic pleasure course through his veins as the guy is now convulsing and twitching on the ground losing liters of blood while you remain blissfully unaware of his dark twisted tendencies he terms as love for you
If someone decides to ever make fun of your culture or hurt you in any way, they better hope and PRAY that lord Shani is in a decent mood because Blaise will NOT take such things lightly. He won't give them the satisfaction of a quick death, he'll make it slow and agonizing as possible taking his own sweet time while he has a sadistic grin etched on his face, relishing in the screams of agony of the schmuck who made the mistake of tormenting you. After light of the world finally leaves their eyes, he'll be satisfied and to cheer you up, he'll bring a box of your favorite assortment of sweets such as the Kaju Burfi, the coconut laddoos, the kalakands and a few packets of your favorite snacks such as the iconic Haldirams mixture packets and such where the two of you would spend time in each other's company listening to your favorite Indian songs
It was only a matter of time before he would 'save you' from all the darkness of society in the Wizarding World by taking you for himself and having a traditional Indian wedding to marry you, even if he has to stain his hands with more blood to ensure this dream of his turns into a reality...

Fashion varies not only between eras but also between regions. We will come across a wide range of cultural diversity, materials, and other things as we go from north to south and east to west. However, the thing about fashion is that it travels the entire world and is not limited to a certain place. In the beginning, clothes and fashion were restricted to a certain place or territory. However, the time has now changed. People are eager to acknowledge the diverse variety of cross-cultural relationships everywhere in the world and are ready with open hands to explore the world of fashion across the globe.
Let's dissect the fashion trends from different parts of the world and have a close look at how they change from place to place.
INDIA
The Indian subcontinent's women wear sarees, which are made of an unstitched length of cloth that has been woven over the body like a robe. One end of the fabric attaches to the waist, while the other end rests over one shoulder like a stole or shawl, occasionally exposing some of the tummy. Its length and width can vary from 4.1 to 8.2 meters (4.5 to 9 yards) and 60 to 120 centimetres (24 to 47 inches), respectively. The Nivi style is the most often used term and style for sari manufacturing and draping. The choli, or fitted bodice, and the ghagra, parkar, or ul-pavadai, or petticoat, are worn with the sari. In the Indian subcontinent, it is still in style today.
SOUTH KOREA
The hanbok is a traditional article of clothing worn by Koreans. South Koreans are the ones who call the clothing hanbok, but North Koreans call it chosn-ot (조선옷, lit. "Korean clothes"). The Korean diaspora, particularly Koreans living in China, also wears the clothing. The components of the traditional hanbok were the jeogori (top), chima (skirt), baji (pants), and po (coat). The basic form of the hanbok included numerous Mu-ism themes and was made to be easily movable. The majority of people's hanbok was entirely white and adorned with no design for thousands of years. Usually, extravagant hanbok was saved for important events like weddings. Commoners, or seomin, were for a while even prohibited from regularly wearing bright hanbok.
JAPAN
Japan's national attire is the kimono, a traditional piece of clothing. Unless the wearer is deceased, the kimono is a wrapped-front garment with square sleeves and a rectangle torso that is worn with the left side wrapped over the right. The kimono is typically accessorized with tabi stockings and zōri sandals. It is typically worn with a thick belt called an obi. Kimonos are made according to a predetermined technique and are usually created from a long, narrow bolt of cloth called a tanmono, however, fabric bolts in the Western style are also occasionally utilized. Men, women, and children can choose from a variety of kimonos depending on the event, the time of year, the wearer's age, and less frequently these days by their marital status.
SOUTH AFRICA
In South Africa, the traditional dress is called Dakshi, which is a colourful garment worn on the upper half of the body. A dakshi has both formal and informal versions and it varies from fully tailored suits to simple draped pieces. It is commonly seen as or tailored with an ornament v-shaped neck with the neck and sleeve line being embroidered and usually tailored as a loose-fit pullover garment. It is often worn with a brimless cap which is worn by the Muslim community from Africa and the African diaspora. The word "dashiki" comes from a Yoruba loanword ‘dàńṣíkí’ , which means 'shirt' or 'inner garment'.
INDONESIA
It is officially recognized that the kebaya is Indonesia's national garment. It is typically constructed of light materials like cotton, voile, gauze, lace, or brocade. Occasionally, it is adorned with embroidery and worn over the upper body. Pins, buttons, or brooches are used to keep it intact. Currently examining the lower garment, is referred to as a sarong, kemben, or kain. It is a lengthy piece of clothing that is worn and tucked either beneath the armpit or around the waist.Generally, ikat, tenun, songket, or batik are used to make sarongs. Many Southeast Asian airlines, such as Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Royal Brunei Airlines, and Garuda Indonesia, have opted for Kebaya as the uniforms for their female flight attendants, making the traditional dress a fashion icon in the region.
As we've already discussed, just as fashion varies from place to place, it also does so across historical periods. Let us now explore the evolution of fashion across time.Even though fashion has been changing throughout the different eras, three eras have made a significantly noticeable evolution throughout the times. These are the Renaissance era, the Victorian era and the Art Deco era. Now let's dive into each era and get to know the clothing difference from each era.
THE RENAISSANCE ERA
The Renaissance era (14th-17th century) was a period of cultural rebirth in European history characterized by a resurgence of interest in classical art, literature, and learning. It saw a turn toward individuality, science, and humanism, which shaped artistic, social, and cultural advancements that still have an impact on contemporary society.
The development of the merchant class led to changes in fashion, while nobles displayed their wealth with elaborate decorations and luxurious materials. Men wore ornate hose, breeches, and doublets, often decorated with jewels and fur trimmings; ladies wore full dresses with structural corsets, rich draperies, and fitted bodices. Ethical principles were reflected in fashion, which emphasized natural shapes. Men's codpieces and women's farthingales, which stood for both social standing and creative expression, were iconic components. For both men and women, Renaissance dress left a long-lasting legacy of grace and creativity.
THE VICTORIAN ERA
Named for Queen Victoria, the Victorian era (1837–1901) was a time in British history marked by social reforms, industrialization, and rigid cultural standards. It was a time of great technological progress, a growing British Empire, and well-defined social divisions. Victorian literature, architecture, and fashion all reflected the ideas and values of the time, with a focus on gender roles, morality, and manners.
Women's clothing during the Victorian era was characterized by ornate gowns with voluminous skirts kept up by bustles or crinolines. These dresses were decorated with lace, ribbons, and elaborate needlework, and they frequently had tight waistlines and high necklines. Tailored suits consisting of fitted jackets, waistcoats, and pants usually came in subtle hues and patterns as men's fashion matured. Men are accessorized with cravats, pocket watches, and top hats, while women wear jewellery, parasols, and gloves. Accessorizing was important for both genders. Victorian fashion showcased the era's technological innovations and cultural inspirations while also reflecting the values of society, which included humility, respectability, and uniformity.
THE ART DECO ERA
The Art Deco period (the 1920s–1930s) was a time of creative art and design defined by geometric shapes, vivid colours, and rich materials. Art Deco embraced modernity and sophistication, incorporating elements from various cultural influences, such as ancient Egyptian and African patterns, and had an enormous effect on architecture, fashion, and the visual arts.
The Art Deco period saw a dramatic change in fashion that reflected the vibrant spirit of the day. The freeing "flapper" look, which was defined by knee-length skirts, dropping waistlines, and lavish embroidery or beading, was adopted by women's clothing. Because of their fluidity, materials like silk and chiffon were preferred, while long strands of pearls and cloche hats were popular accessories. Men's fashion, on the other hand, embraced a more streamlined form, with cut suits that had structured shoulders, straight-leg pants, and small lapels. Luxurious materials radiating elegance and class, such as wool and tweed, were widely used. Gentlemen's professional looks were finished with fedora hats, tie pins, and cufflinks.
In conclusion every era and culture adds a different thread to the thread of fashion history, from the ornate clothing of history to the modern fusion of global trends. Clothes have represented cultural values, social conventions, and personal identity for thousands of years, serving as more than just an article of clothing. Fashion captures the ideals, ideologies, and aesthetics of the era it is designed for, whether it is seen in the luxurious silks of imperial China, the elaborate draperies of Greco-Roman robes, or the cutting-edge designs of haute couture. Furthermore, fashion is a global phenomenon that mixes elements from other cultures and historical periods. Global fashion is enhanced by the variety of sartorial traditions, from the regal presence of the kaftan in the Middle East to the grace of the kimono in Japan. Despite these differences, innovation, self-expression, and the unwavering desire for beauty are the commonalities that connect fashion overtime periods and geographical areas. Humanity tells its stories, welcomes its diversity, and celebrates its creativity through fashion, making a lasting impression on history. We wholeheartedly welcome you to our fashion world VERVE to explore the new colours of fashion to find your own unique persona.

Navratri – The Traditional Hindu Festival
Introduction
Navratri, meaning "nine nights," is a vibrant festival celebrated across India during the onset of spring and autumn. This festival honors the nine forms or avatars of the Goddess Devi, with celebrations and traditional attire varying by region. The dates of Navratri are determined by the Hindu lunar calendar, leading to variations each year. During this period, many people fast to seek the blessings of the Devi. Some break their fast on the morning of Ashtami, the 8th day of Navratri, after the final prayers, while others do so the next day. These nine days are marked by lively festivities, with women donning traditional Indian ethnic wear.
History
The origins of Navratri can be traced back to the Vedic Age in India. According to mythology, following the death of King Dooshibago, various royal families vied for control of the throne, leading to a conflict. The eventual victor, King Yudhajit, placed his grandson, Prince Sudarsana, on the throne. The prince was introduced to a hermit and his eunuch friend named Kleeba. Upon mishearing the name as "Kleem," a syllable used to invoke the Devi, the prince experienced enlightenment and peace. The king was thereafter celebrated throughout the kingdom, blessed with the perpetual presence of the Devi.
Regional Celebrations & Attire:
Gujarat and Rajasthan
Navratri is most prominently celebrated in Gujarat and Rajasthan, where Garba and Dandiya Raas dance parties are a hallmark of the festival. These energetic folk dances are performed with great enthusiasm, often accompanied by songs dedicated to the Devi and Lord Krishna.
Women have a wide array of ethnic dresses to choose from during Navratri, with the Ghagra Choli for Navratri (also known as Lehenga Choli) being the most popular choice. This traditional outfit consists of three main components: the choli (blouse), the Navratri lehenga (a long, flowing skirt), and the dupatta (an Indian stole). The lehenga’s flowing design allows for ease of movement, making it ideal for dancing.
The choli can vary in style, ranging from a fitted crop top adorned with intricate embroidery to a more traditional blouse extending to the waist. The dupatta, once used for modesty, is now a fashion statement, often made of lightweight fabric with exquisite embellishments like stonework or Zari. The Navratri lehenga is crafted from lighter fabrics to facilitate movement, yet it is richly decorated with stones, sequins, and other festive elements.
Bandhani, or Bandhej, is another traditional fabric style closely associated with Gujarat and Navratri. This tie-dye technique produces intricate patterns on fabrics like cotton, chiffon, georgette, and crepe, often in colors like red, yellow, green, black, or blue. The resulting motifs include squares, dots, stripes, and waves, making Bandhani outfits a popular choice for the festival.
Men typically wear kurta pajamas or dhoti pants during Navratri, often in vibrant colors like red, yellow, blue, or black. These garments feature heavy embroidery and mirror work, similar to the women’s attire.

Bengal
In Bengal, Navratri is celebrated as Durga Puja, one of the most significant festivals for Bengalis. During this time, pandals (temporary altars) are set up for worship and dance in honor of the Goddess Durga.
Women traditionally wear tant sarees during Durga Puja. Made of muslin, these sarees have a history dating back to the Mughal era. The process begins with weaving cotton into thread, which is then used to create the saree fabric. The most common tant saree is white with thick red borders, though newer designs feature paisley and floral motifs.
Bengali women also adorn their hands with mehendi (henna), applied in unique patterns that cover only the tips of their fingers and a circle in the center of the palm. Some also apply white dots around their eyes and on their foreheads. Men typically wear plain white kurta pajamas, with the kurtas reaching the knees and the pajamas being slim-fitted and tied with a drawstring.
Other Parts of India
In other regions of India, Navratri may not be as extensively celebrated as in Gujarat or Bengal. However, women generally wear comfortable ethnic attire, such as salwar kameez sets, for the final puja.
Global Influences and Modern Interpretations
Global fashion trends have significantly influenced traditional Navratri attire. Designers now create lehenga cholis and sarees that incorporate Western elements, such as crop tops, backless blouses, and spaghetti straps.
Navratri is also celebrated internationally in countries like England, Canada, and Australia, where Indian communities observe the festival with song and dance. Ethnic Indian outfits have gained popularity among people of other cultures who participate in these celebrations, making lehenga cholis a novelty for many.
Interesting Facts

- Kolkata alone hosts over 2,000 pandals during Durga Puja.
