Chapter 7

A Day Off Can Lead to Love

3rd Person

xxx

Hermione woke up and instantly felt cold. As she still hadn't gone over to Harry,Ron and now Ginny's apartment to get the winter part of her wardrobe, which she must do, Ginny was moving in in 2 days.
Why did it have to get so cold all of a sudden? And where's Blaise?
She looked over to the bed on the other side of the room, where Blaise should be sleeping but instead, it was vacant. Hermione crossed her arms in an attempt to warm her up. Someone grabbed her waist.
"Cold there 'Mione?" he asked, turning her around, letting his arms envelope her in warmth.
Blaise kissed her, it was a small kiss, it had no meaning behind it, but she still wanted to push away, but if she did, she would be cold again. As much as Hermione told him to stop, Blaise had kept kissing her whenever, wherever, even once during apperation.
Mmmm... Hermione...
Blaise broke the kiss, "Happy day off!" he said.
Day off... right, one friday a month...
"I guess..." she said, trying to wriggle out of his grip, "Can I have a shower now?" she asked.
"No... we're having a "pyjama day" today!"
"So that stops me from having a shower how?"
"Because... it wouldn't be the same..."
"But-"
"Nope... you cant have a shower 'cause we're going to bake"
"Bake?"
"Yes... bake, find that funny Granger?"
"yeah... I ...do!" she said in between laughs, "you... baking..."
Oh god... Blaise baking...
"Yes, me baking, it's not that odd, I've done it before..."
"Without magic?"
"... no..."
"Then you haven't truely baked, I'll help you... muggle style"
"Fine then... lets go" He pulled her into the living room/ kitchen but stopped when they reached the couch. He kissed her again, she declined it,and pushed him away, "You REALLY have to stop doing that!"
"No... not until you kiss me back "Ugh!" Hermione let out an exasperated sigh and ran her fingers through her hair.
"Are we going to bake or not?" he asked.
"Well, do we have all of the ingredients?" she asked, walking over to where Blaise was.
"Umm... no..."
"Then it looks like we have to go to the supermarket."
"Yes... it does..."
"Can I get changed then?"
"NO!"
Yes, because the public of London will really love seeing me in a black singlet and purple boxers... And of course Blaise in only his boxers.
"Can you at least put a shirt on?" she asked.
He sighed, "Fine..."

They arrived in the supermarket with Hermione wearing purple pyjama pants and a black singlet while Blaise wore his bright green boxers and a plain black shirt that hugged his body. Hermione couldn't stop staring at his torso.
I love the way she stares at me like that...
They avoided the staring eyes of the muggles and walked down an isle.
Why did Blaise convince me to do this? But YUM! Gotta love that shirt on him! what?
"Lets go then..." Hermione said, collecting a basket and dragging Blaise down a isle.
"Can't we just get one of those packets?" he whinged, as they passed a wall of the packet mixes for cakes, muffins, cookies or any baked good really.
"No! If we're... baking... we're doing this properly,"Hermione said, putting some flour off of the shelf into her basket. Once they had collected all of the ingredients for their baking extravaganza, they went over to the checkouts.
Poor 19 year old serving us...
They walked out of the supermarket and turned a corner.
Well... at least we didn't bump into anyone that we know...
Hermione was wrong of course, as when they turned a corner they bumped into an odd looking couple.
"Draco my man," Blaise said, giving Draco a "manly" hug.
"Hey Blaise." Draco said, "Hermione." he acknowledged.

"And this is...?" Blaise asked, gesturing to the girl standing next to Draco. She had long black hair, tanned skin, brown eyes and full, red lips. Hermione elbowed Blaise in the ribs and he snapped out of whatever he was in... a trance maybe?
"Hey Hermione and Blaise! Long time no see! How's everything been going?" smiled the girl.
Blaise opened his mouth in shock, Draco's girlfriend was Cassie! The prettiest girl in Ravenclaw when they were at school? She was once his girlfriend, then his best friend, but they lost touch after she graduated and went to study in Barcelona during the war, after she had graduated.
Gosh... she's just too stunningly beautiful to recognise...
Hermione grew more and more irritated. She knew who this was, it was Cassie, the beautiful, flawless Cassie. She then saw Blaise checking Cassie out. She didn't like it. Not one bit.
"This is Cassie... My girlfriend..." Draco said, "You should remember her Blaise."
Yes! Of course Blaise remembers the SLUT!
"Cassie!" Blaise said, stepping forward and hugging her. It was nothing, a simple hug. They were old friends, why shouldn't they hug?
Innocent enough right? Dude... Hermione's not your girlfriend yet! You can do what you want!
Blaise felt Hermione stiffen beside him, he could feel the jealously radiate off of her body.
If hugging makes her jealous...
"Can I talk to you over there Draco?" he asked, not waiting for an answer before dragging his friend away from the girls.
"Can I borrow your girlfriend?" Blaise asked.
"Can you WHAT!"
"Borrow your girlfriend... only for a day."
"Um... may I ask why?"
"I want to make Hermione jealous, so she'll go out with me."
"Oh god... you're screwed if you think that's gonna work..." Draco muttered.
"HEY!" Blaise said, hearing Draco, "Sometimes you need a girl to get a girl..."
"But if you hurt her..." Draco started.
"Yeah yeah... I know" Blaise said, not giving it a second thought about weather Draco was talking about Hermione or Cassie.

Where did Blaise go? Now I'm here with Draco and our coffee in my Pyjamas! And where's Cassie? Her questions had been answered, because when she looked up from adding sugar to the bitter drink, she saw Blaise and Cassie against a wall, kissing.
Hermione was staring with her mouth open, she wasn't proud of it, but she was.
Isn't Cassie DRACO'S girlfriend?
"We broke up by the way..." Draco said, gesturing to Cassie.
"That was quick" Hermione commented.
God what a slut... Remember you WERE the one who kissed Blaise in the lift when you were still with Ron... That was different!

"Are you sure about this? Hermione isn't gonna be happy,"Cassie said, slightly leaning away from Blaise.
"That's the whole point!" Blaise exclaimed.
"Boys! And I thought you were better than the rest of them!" Cassie said exasperatedly, "When you like a girl... YOU FREAKING TELL HER!"
"Still the best adviser I know..." He said, remembering all of the times Cassie had helped him after they broke up in fifth year.
"Blaise!" Cassie exclaimed.
"Just do it!"
"Fine... but, only because Draco asked me very nicely... I still don't think its right." Cassie leaned in to kiss her best friend.

Hermione had seen enough, she stood up from her chair and stormed out of the cafe.
Stupid boy! Why did I even like him!

xxx

Cassie saw Hermione leave, "Blaise" she tapped him on the shoulder, "Look what you've done!"
"Crap..." he said, walking over to Draco
, "What happened?" he asked.
"She left," Draco replied.
"Yes... I figured that..." Blaise shot back dryly.
"I told you so!" Cassie said.
I REALLY should've listened to Cassie...

xxx

"Hermione Wait!" Cassie yelled, running after Hermione.
"What do YOU want!" Hermione shot back.
"Gosh! Blaise wants to be with you!" she blurted.
"What!"
"Yes! He loves you! He wants to go out with you!"
"Then why did he kiss you huh?"
"To make you jealous!"
"Aren't you hurt by this?"
"Hello! Blaise and I are F.R.I.E.N.D.S! I'm with Draco! I only did it because the boys asked me to... and 'cause I think you and Blaise are cute together!"
"Wait... so basically this whole DAY has been a ploy to get me to go out with Blaise?"
"Yes... Hermione you must've known this was coming soon..."
"Well, he does kiss me... a lot" Hermione sat down on a nearby bench and ran her fingers through her hair, this was a lot to take in.
"Exactly!" Cassie sat down next to her.
Didn't he try to ask me out at the Ministry? But all he did was stutter?
"And he DID try to ask me out at the Ministry... but we just snogged," Hermione voiced her thoughts.
"See!" Cassie said, looking at Hermione, "what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to think for a while... I need to be alone for a while," Hermione stood up.
"YES! Wait... what!"
"I need to think this all over... I need space, I mean GOD! I live with him!"
"NO! You're supposed to go and make up with Blaise!"
"If he wants me.. he can wait." Hermione turned on the spot and apperated. Cassie let out an exasperated sigh and walked back to the coffee shop, where she knew the boys would be waiting.

"So... where's Hermione?" Blaise asked as soon as Cassie walked through the doors.
"She umm... she had to go and think for a while..." Cassie turned to Blaise, "I'm so sorry."
"No no... It's fine," Blaise said, "I... should get back anyway"
Where could she be? NO! NO GOOD CAN COME FROM FINDING HER!
"Blaise I'm so sorry mate," Draco said, "Maybe it's for the best...?" he offered.
"HOW IS IT FOR THE BEST!" Blaise asked, "I NOW HAVE TO GO BACK TO AN APARTMENT WHERE I SHARE A ROOM WITH THE GIRL I LOVE! DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT FEELS! I CAN'T FUCKING SHOW MY FEELINGS! BECAUSE SHE'S JUST COME OUT OF A FUCKING SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WEASEL!"
Crap... did I just say I loved her?
"Did... did you just say you love her?" Draco asked quietly, still not sure if Blaise had finished shouting.
"Umm... no"
DO I love her?
"You did! You love her!" Cassie said.
"NO! I DON'T! Blaise Zabini isn't one to love someone!"
I don't love her! I... have strong feelings towards her... are they love?
"Well Blaise Zabini isn't one to give away the family ring when he is seventeen..." Draco said. Blaise gave him a look as if to ask 'how do you know that!'.
"I saw... In sixth year... when you gave it to her," Draco explained.
"AWW!" Cassie exclaimed.
Blaise sat down and ran his fingers through his hair, "but she gave it back..." he whispered.
I DON'T LOVE HER! SHE BROKE MY HEART!

But you broke hers first...
"It's okay..." Cassie said, sitting down on the chair next to him and putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I don't love her... I just... really really like her."
Draco chuckled, "Mate... you're screwed.

Hermione slammed the door to her office. It may be her day off, and she may be in her pyjamas but it was still her office and she was still allowed in. She walked over to her desk and sat down.
"Why me! Why do I have to love Blaise fucking Zabini!" she asked herself.
"Hermione...? Why are you here?" Sarah paused, "And did you just say you love Blaise?" Sarah put some files on her desk.
"Umm... no..."
"Yes you did!"She squealed.
"He broke my heart Sarah! How can I love someone who has already broken my heart?"

"You have to talk to Hermione!" Cassie said.
"I'll talk to her later... I'm going home..." Blaise said, walking out of the coffee shop and apparated back to the apartment.

"ARGH! I'M SO ANNOYED AT HIM! HE JUST HAD TO SNOG THAT SLUT! EVEN IF IT WAS TO MAKE ME JEALOUS! THAT'S WORSE!" Hermione said, slamming the door to the apartment and putting her bag down. Blaise smirked and looked up from the newspaper that he was reading, "Okay there?" he asked.
Crap... he's here?
"What do you think!" she asked.
"I'm sorry..." he said, putting down his newspaper and walking over to didn't say anything.. she stayed there, frowning.
Can't I just kiss that frown away?
"I was just trying to make you jealous... I'm sorry.. I was being stupid"
"Yes... you were..." she said, walking over to him and wrapping her arms around his waist.
What's she doing? Oh well... I think I like it!
Should I be doing this?
"Go out with me?" she asked, looking up at him as she was about 15 cm shorter than him.
Blaise slouched down to make up the height difference , and kissed her. They had kissed before, but this one was different, this made his head spin, it took away his breath, it was slow, passionate, heated and soft all in one. This time, he broke the kiss, to see they were both out of breath.
"Wow..." Hermione whispered.
"Yes... of course I will go out with you.." He breathed.
An owl tapping on the window broke them apart. Hermione walked over to the window and took the the letter. It read:

Hermione,

there is an opening for a job helping sort out muggles in France who are shocked after being tortured by magic for a couple of years now. We need you to help these muggles get back on their feet and accept magic and how it's not used for torture...

We would need you for about a month.

thanks,

Marshall

"What is it?" Blaise asked.
"I have to go away..."
"Thats okay then..."
"For a month..." Hermione said, dropping the letter and kissing him, knowing she will have to leave him for a month, it hurt, even though it shouldn't, they hadn't even gone out yet... she didn't want to leave him here... in another country.
