We walked side by side to Potions, people just stared at us, chatting and laughing together. I really couldn't care. I was in heaven. Harry liked me. I liked Harry. Life was perfect at the moment.
"-Blaise. Blaise! Are you listening to me?" Harry pouted and I snapped back to reality.
"What? Sorry Harry, lost in thought." I mumbled and he sighed.
"We're here. Potions remember?" Harry reminded and I nodded.
"Oh. Right. Let's go before we're late." I said, walking into class with Harry close behind me.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Zabini. Care to explain why your late?"
"Too late..." Harry muttered and I sighed.
"Sorry Professor. We were at the Library studying for this lesson actually. We got caught up in it." Harry said and I almost smirked at the excuse.
Snape turned up his nose, but I knew he felt pride in the action. "Sit down."
Harry and I quickly sat down next to each other. We cracked a grin once Snape turned around.
"Almost forgot. Ten points from Gryffindor and detention. See you on Tomorrow." Snape smirked as we groaned quietly and continued with the lesson.
"Ok students. Today we are making a Vertiserum or Truth serum. Turn your page to 238 and read from there. Don't explode anything." Snape warned, sending a look to Neville. The class cracked up laughing and Snape hushed them quickly.
"Ok, so pairs...Granger with Crabbe, Weasley with Goyle, Malfoy with Longbottom. Parkinson with Finnegan. Nott with Thomas, Pike with O'Malley and Zabini with Potter. Start. Once your finished, bring it to me and then I'll tell you if it's good enough to test."
Harry and I high fived each other and got started. After doing it in the Library we finished up quickly.
"Professor Snape we're done."
"Give it here Zabini." Snape grumbled and took a look at the liquid. His eyes widened a fraction and he looked back at me and Harry.
"You really were studying Vertiserum?"
"That's what we said."
"Ok. You may test it now. Who shall test it?" I volunteered, took the vial and drank it.
I heard Malfoy chuckled before yelling out, "Hey, Blaise, you in love with Potter?" He sneered and before I could say anything, Harry covered my mouth.
"Screw you Malfoy. Mind your own business. Shall I out you for what you did to Blaise?" Harry sneered back at Malfoy's glare.
"You wouldn't dare." He growled.
"Oh I would. Hey everyone!" Everyone was already looking at us.
"Draco Malfoy purposely hurt and nearly killed Blaise Zabini! He ran away from his body when everyone was at Hogsmeade! If I hadn't come across him, he would just be another ghost of Hogwarts!" Harry announced and everyone gasped and looked at Malfoy who was paler than usual.
"Your a liar! I would never do that! Blaise is one of my best friends!" Malfoy countered and I saw Harry grin.
"Hey Blaise. You drank the Vertiserum?"
"Yes."
"Did Draco Malfoy Diffindo you and leave you to die?"
"Yes." I answered before I could stop myself.
"And where did he hit you?"
"Shoulder, stomach and my thigh."
"Can you show us the scars left behind?"
I sighed and nodded, unbuttoning my shirt. The boys gasped at the healing scars across my dark skin. The girls gasped because of my six pack. Even Snape gapped a little. It was quite funny actually. I felt Harry's eyes skim over my body and blush. I quickly buttoned my shirt back up and looked at Malfoy. He was as white as a sheet.
"Is this true Mister Malfoy?" Snape asked, baffled by what he just saw.
Malfoy stood up quickly and yelled, "Wait till my father hears about this!"
Snape was up in a flash and grabbed his arm before he could leave. "I don't think so. Dumbledore will hear of this. And your father, oh he will definitely hear about this once your in Azkaban." He snarled and dragged Malfoy while he threatened to have Snape thrown in Azkaban for showing such disgrace to him.
I bit back a laugh when Snape hit him upside the head and he Cried. Cried! Ha! Life has been fulfilled to perfection.
Harry chuckled and everyone just erupted in laughter. Everyone except Weasley and Granger. You'd think they'd be happy but Weasley just held a sneer at me and Granger just looked sad in general. I would have thought more if someone didn't yell out,
"You never answered the big question Zabini! You in love with Potter?" It had been Pansy, for course. Before I could zip my lips, I blurted it out. Merlin, The shame!
"Yes." Everyone went silent. My cheeks felt warm with embarrassment.
"Kiss!" Granger shouted out and I gaped at her. She looked like a fangirl cheering after one of those Muggle bands, what was- Billy Tale?
The moment the words left her mouth, Harry had pulled me close and chuckled, before kissing me straightonthelips. In front of the class! For a second I thought I was just daydreaming in class and Snape would whack me upside the head any moments now. Harry had wrapped his arms around my neck before leaving my lips, smiling like an idiot. It was a chaste kiss but I could taste the lingering blueberry on them.
I looked at all the girls when they squealed, and the boys just clapped and cheered at Harry's performance. He just smiled at them and gave a mock bow. Everyone was happy, even the Slytherins. Everyone except a certain Weasel.
"Why don't you get a room Faggots! I'd like to not throw up in my mouth from your display." He grumbled and everyone glared at him.
"Shut up and be happy for them Ron." Granger scowled and the Weasel flinch a little.
"Your fine with this? Really Hermione? Who knows, he could be a Death Eater?! This could all be some plan to lure Harry into a death trap." Weasley reasoned and Hermione sighed.
"You just saw that he has no Mark Ron. Stop being stupid."
"What if he's doing it for his father? Or Mother?"
"I don't know my dad and my mother could careless about Harry or You-Know-Who." I quipped in and Weasley glared at me.
"I still don't trust you! Take the Vertiserum. Answer my questions. Then I'll think about it." Weasley challenged.
"Fine." I grabbed another vial and drank it. The Weasel waited a few moments before investigating me.
"Are you a Death Eater?"
"No."
"Is your Mother?"
"She's thinking about it."
"Ha! I knew it!"
"It doesn't mean I plan on following her footsteps."
"Ok then. Why do you like Harry?"
"Because he's positively drop dead gorgeous -and in a good way.- He's funny, kind, selfless but he's also cunning and surprising. It's fun being around him." I saw Harry blushed and Pansy giggled along with Granger and O'Malley.
"Have you ever thought about joining the Dark Lord?"
"Who hasn't?" I countered.
"Harry, Hermione and me, thats who. How did you Harry start dating?"
"I took Vertiserum in the Library since he was able to complete it properly. I had promised that he could test it on me and ask three questions. He asked me who I liked. I said I liked him. End of story."
"Do you ever have indecent thoughts about Harry?" Weasley pressed and I sighed.
"Well look at him. What do you expect of me? I'm still a Slytherin." I chuckled when Harry blushed a dark, crimson red in his cheeks.
"Exactly why I don't like you with Harry. He could do much better with my brothers than you. But no. He dumps them because he didn't like them enough to sleep with. My brothers were heart broken! He just acted like nothing happened!" Weasley huffed and everyone looked at Harry with concern.
"Ron. You can't expect Harry to sleep with anyone just because he's not a virgin. He has the right to chose who he sleeps with and your making him seem like some male whore." Granger countered and I gaped. Granger and swear words didn't mix in my mind. I thought she was the goody-two-shoes but I guess not.
"But Hermione. He might as well be a whore if he's dating a Slytherin-" A loud smack sounded through out the classroom and we all flinched. Weasley's face had a very red handprint on his cheek. He looked as if he'd gone into shock.
"Fuck you Ron!" Hermione ran out of the classroom, furious and everyone gaped as Ron ran after her, sending a glare at me and Harry.
I blinked before everything sunk in. Woah. Woah. Woah woah woah! Granger was a badass!
"I think she deserves a round of applause." I said out loud and clapped slowly. Everyone just laughed at me, staring at my shocked face, full of awe and surprise.
Harry was sitting on the floor, fuming with anger beside me. "How dare he call me a whore!" He whispered furiously.
"Harry? Calm down. I'm sure he didn't mean it, just mad that your dating me. He'll get over it."
"Yeah especially if he wants to keep Hermione." I heard Longbottom mutter and laughed.
"True that. True that." We all sat down, chatting until Snape came back thirty minutes later, fuming with anger and cheeks red.
"How'd it go Professor?" Pansy finally asked. We were all too afraid to talk to him in his state.
"Malfoy has been expelled from the school. Looks like he'll be losing his magic too. He's lucky he wasn't put in Azkaban for attempted murder. His father was furious at him." Snape sighed and rubbed his temples. "It's been too long of a day. Your dismissed. No double lesson. Go and enjoy the rest of your day, I don't care." Snape decided and everyone left quite quickly, so they didn't anger him any further.
Harry and I went to courtyard and just sat there on the steps chatting about nothing and everything. I didn't think I could fall for him any harder.
But boy I did.
