Hey! Y'all are amazing! When I started writing this I was 4 off from my goal of 35 reviews, but that's totally okay! I love your reviews they seriously make my day. I'm currently getting really sick from a mixture of weather changes (aka major rain for the first time in almost a year and a significant drop in temperature [20 or so degrees]), and dust stirred up from cleaning my bedroom and sleep deprivation. :P so I'm sad to say that if I get worse than I am right now you probably won't hear from me for a while.
I want to thank everyone who answered my Authors Note! Y'all really helped! I will be using all your suggestions throughout the story, so if they don't get into this chapter, look out for them later! :D
Anyway this chapter is for bella2404, for a long review, lucky n drake .c7c7, also for a long review, and Dakotaxoxoxo, for winning the mini contest!
Theme Song: Perfect by P!nk (as chosen by Dakotaxoxoxo) this song is going to represent the way the guys in this chapter feel about the girls since I'm going to be introducing new pairings or putting in small bits that would show some that are to come. :hint hint: also listen to the Travis Garland version! Absolutely amazing! It gives more insight into the chapter! :D
Disclaimer: Blaise: Since Lex and Drake are missing in action I've been given the honor to do the disclaimer…by default.
Alexia: We're standing right here Blaise.
Draco: Yeah mate, we've been here the whole time.
Blaise: Whatever.
Together: She doesn't own us.
Me: If I did then this story would be terrible seeing as they write it themselves!
LOVE SOFI!~~~
Blaise's POV
After this morning's fiasco I was scared to see what freaky power he exhibited next.
"Would you stop avoiding me like I'm some kind of bomb?" Draco said, throwing his hands up in despair.
"It was subconscious mate, self-preservation, you know?" I said making excuses.
"I'm not going to blow up again, I promise." He said raising his right hand.
"Alright, I believe you." I said, shaking my head at the fact that I, Blaise Zabini, was sitting here absolutely terrified of my best mate because he growled at me for mentioning boys when it came to my sister.
"This is really weird." I said, sitting across from him in the library where we had gone after Alexia had gone to shower.
"Yeah, I never really saw it coming. If I had known I wouldn't have been such a git all these years," He said, looking out into space like he was remembering everything, "In here, Lexi!" he screamed out the door.
"How did you know she was coming?" I asked, looking at him curiously.
"I could feel her I think." He said, cocking his head to the side, as if just noticing it himself.
"You can't even tell when you do that, can you?" I said, sitting back and looking at him in incredulity.
"Not really, it just comes naturally." He said, sitting back as Lex came in.
"Boys would either of you like to accompany me to the Burrow?" she asked us, beaming like it was Christmas morning.
"The where?" we said in unison, looking at her like she'd gone mental.
"The Weasley's." she said, rolling her eyes and shaking her head.
"I'd be happy to accompany you, my dear sister." I said, lighting up.
"Why am I not surprised?" she said laughing at me and shaking her head.
"Well since you're going to be going to a place swarming with m-a-l-e-s I think you would need an escort." I said, lying through my teeth like a good Slytherin pureblood.
"Are you sure it's not because of a fiery red-headed girl who seems to have ensnared your mind?" she said, looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Ah dear sister, you know me too well." I said, walking off and leaving Draco and Lexi together.
Draco's POV
Blaise actually thought that spelling out males would change anything. I suppose I only was calm because Alexia was so happy and it was infectious.
"How about you, Draco, will you be escorting me as well?" she asked, sitting beside me.
"Of course, but I have to ask you one thing first." I said. She looked at me a grin worthy of a Slytherin perched on her face.
"And what exactly is it?" she asked.
"Well, I was wondering if you would do me the honor of being my girlfriend, Miss Zabini." I said, taking her hands in mine.
"Oh my Mister Malfoy, I'm delighted to oblige." She said playing along with the aristocratic tendency I had exhibited.
"Do you mock me?" I said continuing our acting.
"Why yes, I believe I do." She said before getting up and running out of the library, laughing.
"My, my, you're love struck!" said a voice from behind me.
"Pansy, Daphne, what are you two doing here?" I asked, turning around to find the two girls smirking at me.
"Don't get your knickers in a twist, lover boy. Blaise and Lexi's parents invited us. Lexi knows we're here." Pansy said, sauntering out the door.
"It's true, they did." Daphne offered, following her friend out.
"Oh, and we know who she was, or is?" Pansy said peeking back in, shrugging, and walking off.
"It's true, we do." said Daphne before skipping out.
"Okay then…" I said to myself staring at the place where they had just been. It wasn't that hard to tell who she had been. She still looked mostly the same as she had before with a few changes.
Alexia's POV
After I had run out of the library, I walked back to my room to change into something nice to go to the Burrow in.
"Hello Alexia, are you in there? It's Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass. Your parents invited us over to meet you." said a voice from outside the door.
"Yes, come in!" I yelled as I finished putting on my jacket, "Hi, I was wondering when I'd be seeing more of you around here."
"You're funny. I suppose that if we hadn't been separated by houses before, we would've been great friends from the start!" Pansy exclaimed as she walked over to where I was.
"Yes, you're very pretty too!" said Daphne, walking over.
"Thank you, both of you," I said most likely blushing, "I was about to take the boys to the Weasley's, Blaise has a sort of infatuation with Ginny, and Draco won't let me go anywhere where there's men without him." I finished shaking my head.
"So you're the one who's the object of our prince's little secret." Pansy said, sitting on the bed next to me.
"Yes, I am, but how did you know about it? He didn't even know until yesterday." I said cautiously.
"Actually, he knew when he was eleven and had come to Blaise's house where all of us were ranting and raving about it for 2 hours. I don't know how he and the rest of the boys forgot. Only I and Daphne remembered." She finished, shrugging her shoulders.
"Boys." We all said together before laughing.
"Well, do you want to come with us? I would hate to leave you here." I said.
"I wouldn't want to impose." said Daphne with Pansy nodding behind her.
"Nonsense, let me just owl Ron tell him that the 5 of us will be there shortly." I said, hopping up and writing a quick letter and sending it off with my owl.
"Thank you for letting us come with you." Pansy said standing up and giving me a hug.
"It's no problem, that house needs more girls anyway." I said while laughing.
"Should we go check on the boys?" said Daphne, walking up next to us.
"Yes, I guess we should, Blaise is probably practicing pick-up lines in his mirror." I said making us all laugh as we walked down the hall to my brother's room with our arms linked. I was happy that I was able to make friends with my brother's and boyfriend's friends.
"Oh big brother!" I said screaming through the door.
"Must you bellow? I was about to come out." He said, opening his door, and covering his ears.
The girls and I just laughed.
"Oh, I didn't see you two there." Blaise said noticing the other two.
"They're coming with us so Ginny and I can have some well deserved girl time." I said walking over to knock on Draco's door.
"Draco! We're leaving!" I yelled through the door.
"Coming, Love!" he said through the door.
15 minutes later…
"Is that a flying fuzzball?" said Pansy, squinting out of the window.
"That's Pigwidgeon or Pig as Ronald calls him." I said while laughing. I opened the window for the small hyperactive bird.
"They say that it's fine, although it seems Ron is a bit cautious about having - as he puts it - 'a bunch of slimy Slytherin snakes about." I said, rolling my eyes.
"We'll change that, now won't we, Pans?" Daphne said, linking her arms with her friend.
"You have a crush on one of the other Weasley's, little lady, don't even start." said Pansy, shaking her head laughing.
"And you have a secret crush on a certain black-haired Gryffindor whose name I will not mention. *cough* Harry Potter *cough*." said Daphne.
"You like Harry?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I never understood her infatuation with the boy." Draco said coming up from behind and wrapping his arms around me.
"How ironic is that?" I asked, laughing to myself.
"What is?" Blaise said looking at me funny.
"Well, it seems all you snakes fancy a bunch of Gryffindors," I said, walking over to the fireplace. "Come on then, before Blaise, Daphne and Pansy explode from anxiousness."
"Wait, will Harry be there?" Pansy sort of squeaked out.
"Come now, Pans, there's nothing to fear." said Blaise, placing his arm around the trembling girl.
"He doesn't bite." I said, laughing.
"Fine." She said, walking into the fireplace.
"Maybe I should go first." I said as she walked out, blushing a bit.
"The Burrow." I said throwing down the floo powder.
Just as I stumbled out of the fireplace I was enveloped in a three-way hug from Ginny, Harry and Ron.
"Lexi! We've missed you!" they said in unison.
"Can't- b-breathe, guys." I squeaked out, laughing a little.
"Sorry." they said sheepishly. They released me from their hold and took a step away, giving me my space.
Suddenly, out of the fireplace stumbled Pansy, straight into Harry's arms.
"Sorry." she said, both of them blushing scarlet.
Next came Blaise, "The festivities may begin; I have arrived." He declared his arms out wide. Ron snorted a bit.
Then Daphne popped out, an anxious look on her face. "Where's the bathroom?" she asked, clutching her stomach.
"That way." The twins, who had just entered, said in unison, pointing to the door to the bathroom which Daphne ran into, emptying the contents of her stomach.
"We'll go hold her hair-"said George, walking into the bathroom behind Daphne.
"And get her a toothbrush," finished Fred, walking down the hall to a cupboard where they kept their bathroom supplies.
And last but definitely not least, "Sorry I took so long." said Draco, only looking at me.
"Well, now that everyone's here, Pansy, Ginny, Daphne and I will all be going upstairs to have some girl time and you boys can all stay here and bond." I said grabbing the girls, including Daphne who had come out of the bathroom with the twins who were all blushing bright red. Together we all ran upstairs quickly, leaving the boys alone.
Draco's POV
After Alexia left us everything got really awkward.
"So, anyone want to go eavesdrop on the girls?" asked one of the twins.
That loosened everyone up.
"A common goal can unite even the worst of enemies." said Blaise, laughing as we all walked to the twins' room to get what they called Extendable-Ears before making our way to the girls' room.
Alexia's POV
As soon as they decided it, I knew they were going to try to eavesdrop.
"Well, since Pansy and Daphne already know about it I should tell you quickly before the boys get here, Draco's a veela and I'm his mate and we have about 3 minutes before the boys put an Extendable-Ear in here so do you guys want to mess with their heads?" I said, smiling deviously.
"Goody-goody Gryffindor is going to prank the pranksters?" Daphne asked sarcastically, smirking.
"As opposed to popular belief, Lexi knows how to have a good time outside of school." Ginny said, smirking with pride.
"What?" Pansy said, placing a hand over her heart, "And I thought she would help Draco with his bad boy side."
"Oh, I will. He'll be whipped into shape in no time." I said, laughing at them.
"So, are they here yet?" Ginny asked, bouncing on her bed in excitement.
"They're at the bottom of the stairs." I said, waiting to hear the footsteps.
"Ow, Blaise you stepped on my foot."
"Watch it, George; you shoved me into the wall."
"Ron, you're standing on my pants."
"They're about as stealthy as a pack of bumbling elephants." Daphne said laughing quietly as we listened to the whispers of the boys rushing up the stairs.
"So, what are we going to do when they get here?" Ginny asked, bouncing even more than before. She giggled deviously.
"Let's mess with Blaise first and then Harry. Then we can move onto Ron and the twins, and if they haven't realized it yet, we'll mess with Draco, but he's a loose cannon now that he's just getting used to his veela 'senses' so let's leave him for last." I said, planning everything out in my head.
"Hush it, Malfoy! They're going to hear you!"
"Oh Ginny, have you seen the way Blaise looks at you! He's absolutely mad about you!" Pansy said loudly.
We were all laughing silently amongst ourselves.
"Oh, I know. It's rather bizarre the way he drools at the sight of me, you know?" Ginny said.
"Oh, what are his best and worst pick-up lines yet?" said Daphne, sitting on the bed eating some candy we had in the room.
"Hmm… that's a tough one…they're all pretty bad…" Ginny said, tapping her chin.
"I told you searching pick-up lines on Google would never work."
"You also say that your hair is more precious than food and water."
"You have to admit my hair is pretty fabulous... I mean I wouldn't be Draco Malfoy without this hair!"
"Okay, I got it! His worst was definitely, 'Crap. Something is wrong with my cell phone.' When I said, 'Oh really, what is that?' he says, 'It's just that...your numbers not in it'." said Ginny, nodding her head as she finished.
"He actually said that?" I asked, laughing.
"Yeah, then he said, 'Can I get your picture to prove to all my friends that angels really do exist?' which made up for it... kind of." she said, shrugging but smiling all the same.
"My brother, strange as ever." It seemed our conversation wasn't going as easy as planned.
'We need more; this isn't working!' I wrote on a piece of paper, showing all the girls in the room.
Daphne ran across the room and grabbed a sheet of paper for herself. 'How about we play truth or dare?' She wrote, raising an eyebrow.
'Perfect!' I wrote, as the rest of the girls nodded.
"They got quiet."
"No, really? We had no idea!"
"Shut up; they'll hear you!"
"Let's play truth or dare!" Pansy said, or more like squealed. She and Ginny were more alike than I thought.
"Alright, uhm… Ginny, Truth or Dare?" Daphne started.
"Truth."
"Is it true that you like boys who play Quidditch?"
"No, they're so stuck up!" Ginny said while shaking her head and mouthing 'not really' and winking at us. We all laughed quietly, knowing Blaise was a Quidditch player.
"Looks like you'll be quitting Quidditch when we get back to school."
"My turn to ask! Okay, Pansy, Truth or Dare?" Ginny asked, laughing.
"Dare!" Pansy said, winking at us.
"Uhm…I dare you to let Daphne give you a makeover blind-folded!" Ginny said, jumping up and down.
'Exactly how does that benefit pranking the boys?' I wrote on my paper.
Ginny grabbed Daphne's paper and scribbled something down. She held it up for me to see, a small smile playing on her lips. 'It doesn't. I just thought it'd be funny!' she wrote, shrugging.
"Alrighty then." Pansy said, rolling her eyes and waiting for Ginny to get all the stuff for the dare.
Ten minutes later, when Daphne was done, we were all laughing at the mess that was Ginny's face.
"This is so coming off." Pansy said, grabbing her wand and casting a spell. The make-up vanished from Ginny's face in a flash.
"That's too funny!" said Daphne, who was laughing hysterically next to Ginny, who had all but collapsed on the floor in hysterics.
"Don't you have something that we can see inside with in the room of yours?"
"Alright, my turn. Alexia, Truth or Dare?" Pansy said, looking at me mischievously.
"Truth." I said, not wanting to be on the end of her dares.
"Are you dating someone right now?" she said, smirking.
"Stupid Slytherin smirk." I mumbled under my breath.
After that question, I could practically hear Draco smirking outside the room.
"Yes." I said finally.
"Who?" Pansy said smirking even more if that was possible.
"Only one question per turn!" I snapped.
The other girls started laughing hysterically.
"Alright my turn. Daphne, Truth or Dare?" I said.
"Truth." She stated.
"What is the most desperate thing you've ever done to get a guys attention?" I said, smirking.
'This isn't helping!' Ginny wrote on the paper.
'I know, just one last thing and then we'll bust the boys!' I wrote, winking.
"Uhm…probably flirt like an idiot in front of my parents." Daphne answered, laughing hard as she finished.
"Oh Daph! Did you really?" Ginny said, between laughing and catching her breath.
"Yeah, I did." She said, still laughing.
"These girls are bloody boring!"
"Mind if I go, Daph?" I asked, winking.
"Of course not, Lexi!" she said, giddy.
"Ginny, Truth or Dare?" I said, looking at my red-headed friend.
"Dare." She said, smiling knowingly.
"I dare you to go open the door and tell those eavesdropping boys that they need to scram." I said.
"Oh damn! Our cover's blown!"
"Every man for himself!"
"Run!"
"You guys were too bloody loud!"
"Bloody Hell!"
As the four of us walked to the door and opened it we saw all of the boys scrambling down the stairs pushing and shoving each other out of the way.
"Boys." We all said together, before following them.
