Chapter Four

Time had come for the dinner with Slughorn and Alaya was getting ready to leave for his office. She double checked her reflection in the mirror making sure she looked alright. She had dressed in a pair of black slacks with black lace top and black heels. Her hair was curled and she wore smoky make up. Once she was satisfied she looked alright she left for Slughorn's office. As she made her way down to Professor Slughorn's office Blaise came up behind her picking her up bridal style and spinning around before he sat her back down.

"Hey." She said smiling looking up at Blaise. "Hey yourself." He smiled back pressing his forehead against hers. "You look beautiful tonight." He whispered brushing the hair out of her face. "Thanks, you don't look half bad yourself." She giggled putting her arms around his neck. He smiled kissing her cheek, then her jaw making his way to her neck. She giggled as he pulled her closer to him. "You know Alaya I'm the luckiest guy in the school." He whispered in her ear. "Why is that." She whispered back kissing the hallow of his neck making him moan a little. "You are the prettiest girl in the whole school and you're mine." He breathed backing her against the wall, their noses touching.

Blaise looked in her eyes for a second before he gently pressed his lips against hers. After a moment Blaise ran his tongue along Alaya's bottom lip asking for permission to deepen this kiss, and she let him. He grabbed her hips pulling her closer to him as a small moan escaped her mouth, the kiss getting more passionate. Alaya ran her hands from his neck down his chest grabbing his shirt trying to pull him even closer to her as he pressed her body completely against the wall. They continued like this for a few more minutes before Blaise broke the kiss leaving them both breathless.

"Wow." Alaya whispered when she caught her breath. "Yeah." Blaise smiled looking down at her. "Well we better go before we're late for dinner." Alaya blushed as he grabbed her hand and let the way to the professor's office.

On the way to Slughorn's office Blaise couldn't stop thinking about the kiss he and Alaya had just shared. It was hot and passionate but that was it. It was amazing but there were no other feelings than lust filled in it. It confused him. Here he was with the most beautiful girl in school who he just shared an amazing kiss with and he was second guessing how he felt about her. He didn't understand it. It made him wonder if they were meant to even be a couple. He wondered if she felt the same or if she felt feelings other than the ones he did.

It didn't take them long to make it to the Professor's office. Upon entry they took the last two free seats that were next to each other. After a few moments the food appeared and Slughorn went about asking everyone how their families were doing and how their classes were going. Just about everyone seemed to be getting along and talking to each other, well except for Blaise and the few other Slytherins in lower years that were there. They talked amongst themselves. Alaya mostly sat listening while Blaise played footsie with her under the table. He didn't speak to her much throughout the dinner; in fact he hardly spoke at all.

"Ah Alaya how is school going for you?" Slughorn said turning his attention to Alaya breaking her from her thoughts. "Oh it's great, I'm really enjoying your potions class Professor." She smiled. "I'm glad, you have your mother's talent for potion making." The professor smiled. "Thank you sir." She smiled back as he turned his attention to another student.

Soon dinner came to an end and he dismissed all the students to go back to their houses. Blaise escorted Alaya half way to her common room before saying goodnight to her and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek before he headed down to the dungeons. Alaya then slowly walked back to her common room, but decided to bypass it for a bit seeing that curfew wasn't for about an hour.

As Blaise made his way back down to the dungeons he kept thinking about his feelings for Alaya. He liked her but the kiss they shared wasn't as he imagined it would be. It was very lustful but that was about it. There were no fireworks or sparks that he thought there would be. He put it off to their not being official very long and left it at that.

As Alaya was walking around she literally bumped into Malfoy who was doing his rounds as a Prefect. "Oh sorry Malfoy." She laughed looking down at the floor. "Clumsy tonight are we." He chuckled making her smile and look up at him. "Yeah I guess so." She replied. "How was dinner?" he asked as she walked over to the wall to lean up against it. "It was nice. Yeah." She replied sighing. "Something wrong?" Malfoy asked leaning beside her. "No, Blaise was just acting a little weird during and after dinner. He didn't speak during dinner and he kind of ran off after walking me half way to the common room." She said turning around to look out the window that was beside her. "Oh I'm sorry. Well you look beautiful tonight." Malfoy said as she leaned her forehead against the glass. "Thanks." She smiled continuing to look out the window. The two continued to talk for a bit until it was almost time for curfew.

"Well you better get back to your common room, it's almost curfew." He teased. "Yeah and you're going to turn me in if I'm late." She said squaring her shoulders to him. "Yeah I will." He teased back stepping closer to her. His close proximity to her made her legs shaky and when she went to step closer to him to show he didn't intimidate her she tripped falling into Malfoy's chest making him react by catching her by the waist as she grabbed his shoulders. "You need to be more careful." Malfoy whispered loosening his grip on her waist as she stood back up. "Thanks for catching me." She said not moving from where she was standing she just let her hands slide down Malfoy's arms a bit as she relaxed. "Yeah, just don't mention to Blaise that you're falling for me." He teased giving her a smirk letting her waist go. "I won't. I uh got to go. I'll see you later Malfoy." She said letting go. "Night Alaya." He said as she walked away from him. "Night." She said turning to smile at him.

Before heading to his own dorm Malfoy checked in with Professor Snape to give his report. When he walked into the dorm he saw Blaise sitting on his bed deep in thought.

"Hey Blaise. How was dinner with Alaya and Slughorn?" Malfoy asked digging through his trunk for pajamas. "It was okay. How was your patrol?" Blaise asked leaning back on his elbows. "Good, literally ran into Alaya on her way back to her common room. She seemed kind of out of it." He said unbuttoning his dress shirt. "Oh." Was all Blaise could say as he stared at the ceiling. Malfoy continued getting ready for bed wondering if he could pry any more information out of Blaise seeing as he too was acting a little off.

"Blaise is something wrong with you and Alaya?" Malfoy asked sitting on his own bed. "No. Why?" Blaise replied looking at Malfoy confused. "Because the two of you are acting strange. Both of you are usually floating on cloud nine after spending time together." He stated. "Oh. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've felt weird ever since we kissed before dinner." Blaise replied sitting up. "The two of you have kissed lots of times, what's so different about this time?" Malfoy said confused. "No Draco this wasn't like any kiss we've shared before. I had the most amazing snogging session with the most beautiful girl in school and I'm feeling weird about it." Blaise almost yelled jumping out of his bed. "Wait, you mean you've never snogged her until tonight." Malfoy said disbelievingly. "No Draco I haven't. We've never been that physical with each other before." Blaise stated looking at Malfoy darkly. Blaise began to pace the room as Malfoy watched confused. After a few moments he spoke back up.

"Wait what do you mean physical?" Malfoy asked curious. "While we were kissing I had her pressed against the wall and it was like we couldn't get enough of each other, we just couldn't get our bodies close enough together. We kept tugging on each other to get us as close as possible. I kept wanting more and more, it was so hard to break the kiss. It was so intoxicating and I couldn't get enough." He sighed walking over to one of the windows in the dormitory. "Uhm wow. Didn't need that much information mate." Malfoy said lying down on his side looking at Blaise. "You asked." Blaise shot back making Malfoy snigger. "I feel guilty, like I took advantage of her." Blaise said leaning against the window. "You didn't though; I don't understand what was so bad about it. I mean from the way you're saying it you had her all over you tonight and you're feeling bad about it." Malfoy said readjusting himself on the bed. "Yeah I know how it sounds. I should be bloody happy about what happened but I'm not!" Blaise yelled banging his fist on his bed. "Calm down and get a good night's sleep. You'll feel better in the morning." Malfoy said as the rest of the boys entered the dormitory and got ready for bed. Blaise sighed defeated and crawled back into his falling into a restless sleep.
