I'm not that Bad
Chapter 4
What are friend's for?
Blaise Zabini yawned heavily that early Saturday morning in his gigantic king sized bed.
Hmm…I know I got to do something today…but what was it? Blaise pondered with a confused face.
He left his bed to his house elves and made his way to his bathroom. Maybe a nice warm shower will jog up my memory. He thought to himself getting in the warm waterfall of his shower.
Fifteen minutes later.
He exited the shower and dried himself and wrapped the towel around his waist. He gazed into the mirror. He was a very tall boy, very built. He liked what he saw. "Looking good Zabini, like always." He said to his reflection with a toothy grin revealing his bright white teeth.
He started to brush his teeth, still with the one question on his mind. I swear I got to do something to day!
After Blaise was finished he got dressed. He put on some jeans, a white tank top and threw on a brown jacket. He was set.
He head down stairs into his dining room, were food was served by the house elves.
"Good morning master Zabini." Said one of the elves as he offered Blaise a slice of toast, witch he accepted.
"Morning Zonk." Blaise said with a smile.
Blaise started on his breakfast. He loved Eggs Benedict.
Zonk offered Blaise the Daily Prophet, witch Blaise waved away. He could care less about the prophet right at this moment in time. Zonk nodded went back into the kitchen.
Screw it! I give up on this crap! I'm giving myself a bloody headache. Blaise thought rubbing his now aching forehead.
He finished breakfast by draining down an ice-cold glass of milk.
"Oh yeah, that's hit it." Blaise said putting the empty glass on the table.
"Aww frick! I still got to go get my stuff for school…THAT'S IT!!" Blaise yelled causing Zonk and a few other house elves to rush back into the room.
"Is master upset?" Zonk asked.
"What? No I'm fine. I just remembered something that's all." Blaise said now leaving the room.
Blaise made his way to his sitting room towards the big fire place before summoning Zonk. "Oi! Zonk!"
The house elf entered the room in an instant.
"Yes master?"
"Tell my mother that I'm heading to Diagon Alley to buy my school supplies."
"Of course master." Zonk bowed and started to leave the room until Blaise spoke.
"Uhhh…Zonk?"
"Yes master?" Zonk turned around on the spot.
"Where's the floo powder?"
"Oh…sorry sir but we seemed to have run low."
"Oh…that's okay; I'll just use my broom—"
"You can't sir."
Blaise stopped inches away from opening the broom cupboard.
"And why in Merlin's name can't I?" Blaise said waiting for the house elf's replay.
"Umm…because…one of your mother's…male friend umm…borrowed it to get to the ministry today." Zonk said looking down to his feet.
"Oh…I see…well ahh HOW THE FUCK AM I GONNA GET THERE NOW?!?" Blaise yelled at Zonk.
"Well…I could always apparate you to the alley." Zonk said quietly to his master.
"Oh…oh ok lets do that then, good thinking Zonk." Blaise said with a smile.
"Thank you master…master must grasp my arm."
"Oh yes…how silly of me." Blaise said now holding onto Zonk's arm.
"Has master ever apparated before?"
"Uhh…no, no I haven't."
"Ah I see."
"Yeah…look are we going or not, cause if we are…I am truly amazed at the speed of apparation!" Blaise said with a sarcastic tone.
"Oh yes, sorry master."
"Okay, let's see how this thingo works." Blaise said giving Zonk the heads up to go.
He had never felt so much discomfort. He felt as if all the air was being sucked out of him and he couldn't breathe. Then it stopped.
All the air flooded back into his lungs. He was on all fours.
"Oh I am sorry master. I should have warned master in how it would feel for new comers."
"Ya think?" Blaise said getting off the ground and looking at his surroundings. He was standing out back of The Leaky Cauldron, facing the same brick wall he knew too well.
"Anyhow…thanks Zonk. I'll get the Night Bus back ok?"
"Yes master…master if I may ask…why did you not take the night bus instead?"
"They call it a Night Bus, for a reason you know." Blaise chuckled looking at the elf.
"Oh…of course, how silly of me…I bid the master a fair well." Zonk bowed down low and with a loud pop, he was gone.
Blaise tapped the bricks on the wall in the order with his wand. The bricks started to shuffle, until it revealed the changed Diagon Alley.
"Well doesn't this place look cheery." Blaise said entering the empty Diagon Alley.
Posters and WANTED signs plastered every shop, but one. Ooooo this looks new.
He read the large sign out loud. "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes." Oh so this is the Weasley's famed joke shop.
He made a mental note to visit the shop when he was done with his other business.
"Ok." He said pulling out the Hogwart's school letter and reading what he has to buy.
He finished reading the list and then headed towards Gringotts. He went too his mother's vault seeing that would fair that he could borrow some money after his mother's new boyfriend nicked his broom.
Blaise finished his shopping and made his way back to The Leaky Cauldron, seeing how he had enough time for a quick drink before meeting up with Draco.
"What'll it be lad?" Tom asked Blaise as he made his way to the bar.
"Just Butterbeer thanks…oh and Tom, you don't mind keeping an eye on my things do you? I have more…business to attend to in Knockturn Alley."
"Oh I don't know lad, I'm pretty busy."
Blaise laughed. "Busy? Oh yes I'm sure you got your hands full. Look there's a shiny Galleon in it if you do." Blaise said pulling out a Galleon coin and twirling it in his fingers.
"Hmm…alright then, I'll put it behind the bar when you leave."
"Thank you Tommy my boy." Blaise said with a smile flipping the coin into his shirt pocket.
10 minutes later and 8 Butterbeers downed.
"Well I'm heading off Tommy." Blaise said to Tom with a grin, as he entered the back and entered into Diagon Alley.
He checked his watch. 2:30. he head off towards Knockturn Alley.
Going down the Alleyway he noticed that it didn't look that similar to Diagon Alley. Posters and WANTED posters all over the shops. Except for Borgin & Burkes the one shop in the Alley with out them.
Blaise made his way until he came upon the pub. 'The Dragon's Hornet' lovely spot Draco.
Blaise waited for what seemed to be hours, in the dark corner of the pub. He was just about to leave until a blonde boy walked into the pub.
"Hey sexy, nice of you to join me." Blaise greeted Draco.
"Not in the mood Zabini." Draco said in a low and tiered voice.
"Time of the month huh? I understand." Blaise said putting his hands up in defeat.
Draco sighed. He missed his smart arsed friend over the holidays.
"I ran into Potter and his and of merry…what ever they are."
"Oh really? When?"
"I was getting some new robes and they happened to walk in."
"Jeez pissing you off seems easy now."
"No…it's just they followed me."
"Did you see them follow you?"
"Well…no I di—"
"Ooooo you're getting very paranoid as well."
"Oh shut it."
"Teeth are out today, aren't they?" Blaise said flashing his teeth at Draco.
"I really am not in the mood Blaise."
"And I care? Only joking, I'll stop…well try to. Don't you have to tell me something?"
Draco's faced changed into an even darker look he had before he walked into the pub. He looked to see if anyone was looking there way or listening on there conversation.
Once convinced no one was looking, Draco pulled his robe's sleeve up, revealing the mark.
"Hahaha that looks like…oh…it is isn't it?" Draco nodded his head.
"Well…this is…interesting." Blaise said not taking his eyes off of the Mark.
"That's not all."
"There's more?" Blaise said pulling his eyes away from Draco's arm and now looking at his face in shock.
Draco nodded once again.
"Ok, listen I got to tell you something very important."
"Does it involve in me getting killed if I know?"
"…Possibly."
"I'm gone, see ya." Blaise said rising from his seat and heading towards the door.
"Blaise…please."
Blaise sighed. "You know…I should backhand you." Blaise said raising the back of his hand at Draco.
Draco grinned and stifled his laughter. Draco giving Blaise the "Please listen…my friend." Look…how he hated it.
"Uhhh fine." Blaise said coming back and sitting down.
It took Draco nearly an hour to tell Blaise everything he knew. Blaise's jaw dropped lower with every detail.
"Well look on the bright side Drakey, your not alone." Blaise said leaning back on his chair.
"What do you mean?" Draco asked confused.
"Mate…look, I'm here for you no matter what happens and I will do everything in my power to help you finish this mission." Blaise said with a small smile on his face.
Draco's faced lightened up to his loyal friends words. He had a smile across his face a genuine smile. This was very rare.
"Uhhh…you're not gonna kiss me are you? Cause if you do, I really will backhand you."
They both laughed loudly at each other. So loud that people started turning heads.
"Alright Malfoy, I got to go, mother's gonna be worried sick."
Malfoy bid his friend a good bye.
He was happy.
