Summary: Blaise and Ginny are in happy relationship. But their best friends, Hermione and Draco, don't think the two should be together. Draco thinks that Ginny is a blood- traitor and Hermione thinks Blaise is someone who can't be trusted to Ginny. So they come up with plans to break the two up. But instead of breaking them up, it seems that Hermione find love along the way.

A/N: Hello Guys! This is DramioneFan-38. I'm introducing nyself now because me and my Beta: FloralBal, are doing this story together. We take turns into making one chapter. The first chapter will be made by FloralBal and the second chapter will be done by me and so on. We explained this to you because maybe, at one point, while you are reading, you may notice that the writing style may differ (I think. Haha) Remember, this chapter is made by FloralBal. Well, that's it! Start reading! =)

Bursting at the Seams

Chapter One: Twin Identities

"Ginny Weasley? You've got to be kidding, Blaise." Draco paused, hoping for his best

"Yes, Ginny Weasley. We've been seeing a lot of each other around the ministry, since you have me there all of the time, securing licenses for experimental potions. We were both leaving late a few weeks ago, and decided to get dinner. We've done it every Friday since, and now I'm seeing her."

"My best friend is dating a blood traitor? Yeah, she's nice to look at, but what happened to all the other girls I set you up with?"

"Draco, you're screaming. Calm down. Blood traitor? The war is way over, Draco. And don't make this about you. You set me up with some of the dumbest, mindless girls in the world. I cannot have a serious relationship with someone that I can't hold a conversation with."

"Serious?" Draco gasped in an almost feminine way. "You're going to marry her? You're going to have mini-weaslebees?"

"I never said that," Blaise responded as if he was speaking to a child. "Can't you be happy for me? I've supported all of your relationships in the past few years. All 20 of them."

"Don't you think you could do a little bit better, Blaise? Someone with enough fortune to suit you? Someone your mother would approve of?"

Blaise glared at his "best friend".

"Don't say another word, Malfoy. Don't you dare insult Ginny. This isn't your life, and I'm going to keep on seeing her."

Suddenly Draco got up, grabbed his coat and slapped a few galleons onto table.

"We're not done talking about this. I'll see you at work. We have a 7:00 a.m. meeting and I expect you to be on time." He stormed out.


"Hermione, can you hold my purse while I try these on?" Ginny Weasley threw her bag at a sitting Hermione. "Thanks!"

"More? I told you that the first dress looked fine! This has got to be the twelfth store we've been in today, and it's late. Whoever it is that you've been seeing shouldn't care this much about how you look."

"I know, Hermione, but this one's special," Ginny called from the fitting room. "He's different."

"When am I going to meet him, Ginny?" Hermione said, impatiently. She'd been hearing about this mystery man for weeks now, but was still in the dark concerning his identity.

"When the time is right, Hermione. You're so judgmental that I'm worried you'll hate him." Ginny said, wearily.

"Gee thanks, Gin. I'm glad you have so much confidence in me. I'm a grown adult; I could act perfectly civil around anybody."

Ginny answered by throwing some rejected dresses over the fitting room door Hermione sighed and started twirling her long brown hair. Since Hogwarts, she had actually started caring for her hair, and it was now silky and wavy. She'd really grown into her looks, and was now a highly-sought after Magical Tutor. She taught students who weren't Hogwarts age how to read, write and how to live in a magical world. She was also a highly sought after girlfriend. After a long and strenuous on-again-off-again relationship with Ron, they had decided they were better off as friends. Since that time, she'd gone on dates with many magical professionals, but none suited her. After the horrible screaming match in public that had ended her relationship with Michael Corner, Hermione had called it quits on dating. Hermione was going through her lesson plans in her head when suddenly Ginny's bag dropped to the floor, spilling its contents.

"Oh bloody hell." Hermione sighed as she began to pick up the scattered items. Nail polish, a hair brush, her wand, and strangely enough, a magical photograph of her with Blaise Zabini in a park together.

"Ginny Weasley you get yourself out here this instant!"

"What? You want to see this dress?"

"WHY ON EARTH DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE WITH BLAISE ZABINI IN YOUR PURSE?"

"Shoot. I was afraid you'd see that."
