It was Harry's 6th year at Hogwarts. He was happy to be away from the Dursley's and with his best friends Hermione and Ron. The had just gotten off the Hogwarts Express and went inside the wonderful castle he knew was his real home.
"It's great to back, isn't it Harry?" said Hermione cheerfully. She polished her Head Girl badge with the sleeve of her uniform.
"It sure is", replied Harry. He had a dreadful summer at the Dursleys. He was worried Sept. 1st would never come.
"I can't believe next year will be our last. I can't believe we survived this long" Ron said, eyeing Harry.
"You act like all those things we're my fault."
"Well, if you weren't the Great Harry Potter, I think we wouldn't have so many brushes with death" Ron said jokingly.
"Ron.." Hermione started
"Please Hermione, I was only joking!" Ron tried to save himself from the wrath of Hermione. Ron smiled at her and she smiled back. Harry knew they liked each other, both we're too stubborn to admit it. As they we're walking to the great hall, Harry bumped into something.
"Watch where your.." He stopped. He look up and saw a girl with dark red hair… not like Ron's but deeper.. Like a cherryish colour. He recognised her. He has seen her a few times in the halls but never talked to her. She was Blaise Zabini, a Slytherin and Malfoy's girlfriend. She looked… different this year, because Harry never saw her look so beautiful.
"Sorry" Blaise said as she walked on. She then stopped and turned around, walking back toward Harry and his friends. "Harry Potter.. Nice to meet you. I'm Bl-"
"Blaise Zabini" Draco Malfoy had cut her off. He was a few feet away and looked furious.
"What are you doing?" asked Draco. Harry noticed he didn't sound angry… he sounded hurt. "Socializing with the Gryffindor Trio?" Draco spat.
"Draco," Blaise said, facing him, "I can socialize with whom ever I choose to" she said coolly.
"We better get going Blaise" Draco took her hand and walked her towards the Great Hall.
Blaise turned around "Goodbye Harry" she said.
"G..good bye" Harry relied foolishly. But she was already out of his view. "Wow" was all that Harry could think.
"What was all that about?" Hermione questioned.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
" Harry, don't answer a question with a question, you know what I mean. You looked as if your tongue was going to fall out of your mouth" She replied.
" I can understand why" Ron chirped.
"Oh shut up Ron, she's just as bad as Malfoy. Why else would she even consider dating that git." Hermione said as she elbowed Ron in the ribs.
"Ouch" Ron rubbed his side.
They walked into the Great Hall and watched all the first years get sorted into their houses. After Dumbledore made his speech, and Hermione led all the Gryffindors to the Gryffindor Tower, Harry and Ron went to their dormitories, where they we're greeted by the familiar faces of Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan and the accident-prone Neville Longbottom. Dean looked different though. "You coloured you hair blue?" Harry was shocked.
"I did, mum didn't like it much though. She hoped I can get it fixed when I got here" Dean said, "But I like it".
Harry unpacked and sat on his bed. "This is home" he thought to himself. He got up and decided to take a walk around the castle. As he was walking he noticed a familiar head red hair. Or Weasley red as he fondly called it. "Hello Harry" Ginny Weasley said. Ginny was Ron's younger sister. She looked different too. Older. More..mature. "Hello Ginny, and how are you?" he asked. He knew he mustn't think of Ginny as anything more then a friend, even though he sort of realised she fancied him. He look past Ginny's shoulder and there she was. "Blaise" Harry whispered. He pushed Ginny out of the way and went to talk to her.
"Hello Blaise" He said.
"Oh, hi Harry" She smiled at him. "She has a beautiful smile", Harry thought.
"H-h-how are you?" Harry stuttered.
"I'm great, and you?" she asked. Harry noticed she was looking at his lips. She looked up and gazed into his eyes. Harry saw two honey coloured orbs looking at him. They looked so transparent but so secretive.
"Harry?" she asked, her voice soft and distant.
"Yes Blaise?"
She looked away and slipped a piece of folded parchment into his hand. She looked up at him once more, as if not wanting to leave, and then looked away and ran off. Harry noticed Draco step out of a class room. He grabbed Blaise's hand and pulled her towards him and kissed her, making sure Harry could see. Harry felt a pang of jealousy in his stomach. Harry didn't know what it was about Blaise. He had never looked at her the way he does now, and knowing that Draco had her made her so much more desirable. Draco pulled her into the room and closed the door. He opened the piece of parchment and in her slanted printing, she wrote:
Midnight. Astronomy tower. Don't tell anyone.
-Blaise
Harry felt a smile spread across his face.
