So you lot most likely hate me right now because I've not put up this chapter in ages, I hate me too. So I do have a reasonable explanation as to why – I'm slightly ill and I have a toothache that when I'm walking outside – it hurts.
Anyway some of you may have seen my new story; 'Darkened Souls' in my opinion that's pretty cool, it's a 'Once Upon a Time' fanfic, so if you're interested go take a look!
So, I own nothing except for Blake, Blake's family and the plot!
Please Review!
Chapter 14
The next two days passed without much hassle and it was now the last day where the leaving feast would be held later on in the day. Blake was currently squirming on the floor with Hermione atop of her on her stomach tickling the girl.
"No! No please Herm!" Blake squealed trying to get out of the other girl's hold.
"Say it!" Hermione grinned and pinned Blake's arms above her with one hand and continued to tickle her mercilessly.
Blake squealed once more and squirmed around, thrashing out in an attempt to escape. "Fine! Fine!" She caught her breath when the tickling stopped. "Hermione is the best girl in the world."
"And...?"
"And I'll do anything she asks!" She huffed and tried to escape.
"Blake?"
"Yes?"
"I want to ask you something..."
"Whatever was broken I didn't do it."
Hermione rolled her eyes and moved down to sit on lap instead of her stomach, allowing her to sit up.
Blake sat up and wrapped her arms round the other girl and smiled sheepishly. "So?"
With no warning Hermione shyly kissed the girl on the lips, blushing furiously she was however surprised when she began to pull away that Blake returned her affections and kissed her lips softly back.
They looked at each other for a while before both blushing.
"Do you...?"
"How did...?"
There was a knock on the door which caused both to look up to see Minerva looking at them. "Miss Granger. Miss Knight. There are a few things I would like to discuss with you in my office." She looked at their attire seeing they were still in their pyjamas she tsked and shook her head playfully. "Get dressed and come to my office."
Hermione got up and held out a hand for Blake to take, pulling up the girl, both giving a nod to the Professor before scampering to their dorm room.
In ten minutes Hermione was standing in her perfect uniform whilst Blake was wearing her skinny jeans, converse with the shirt untucked, a loose tie, no robe and top button undone.
They looked at each other and blushed. "Why didn't you tell me you...?" Blake started only to get an eye roll from Hermione.
"Well I don't tend to kiss people on the cheek a lot - I thought you knew!"
"Does that mean..."
"Do you want to be...? Something?"
"Do you?"
Hermione took Blake's hands into her own and smiled at the girl. "I do... But do you...?"
Blake grinned happily. "I would like nothing more in the world."
"Would you like to..." She blushed and took hold of Blake's hand.
Blake in return blushed red, but gripped Hermione's hand a bit more. "I guess we need to go to Professor McGonagall..."
The two walked down the hall leading to the Gryffindor head's office. Blake knocked on the portrait allowing the woman to know that they were there. She looked up at Godric. "Good afternoon Sir, I believe the password is Tabby." The door swung open and the two walked in hand in hand, to be greeted by Narcissa and Minerva drinking tea.
"Twenty minutes it takes them to get from one place to another together." Narcissa spoke, hiding a small smirk behind her cup.
"Ah but that's young love us it not?" Minerva asked summoning two more cups of tea for the pair. "Now Miss Granger, as you may or may not know, I will be acting as Miss Knight's guardian for seven days."
Hermione looked at Blake who nodded softly and then back at her Professor.
"I was going to ask if you would like to come down for a few days during that time period, with your parent's permission of course."
Hermione nodded a bit, but didn't speak seeing that Minerva was about to say more.
"Mrs Malfoy will probably be there too most days." Minerva spoke again.
"I just can't stay away, Minerva." Narcissa spoke, giggling softly at the light blush on the woman's face.
"Narcissa. The children." Minerva started only to have said woman wave her hand and held out her hand to Blake.
"Never mind her. Blake." She sighed and stood up, making the girl look presentable, tucking her shirt in, straightening her collar, doing her top button up and adjusting her tie. "What did I say in my letters?"
"I do believe it was something along the lines of 'if you aren't presentable and neat, then I will personally see to it that you are.' Am I correct, Mrs Malfoy?"
"You are." She dusted off the girl's jumper. "Although I might have to invest in getting you more... Presentable clothing."
"The clothing I have is fine..."
"Mainly because you don't want to wear dresses." Hermione spoke up, grinning. "Or skirts. Or anything remotely similar to them."
Minerva chuckled gently. "As I was saying, Miss Granger, I will owl over a letter for your parents with an invitation for you to join us." She stacked a few pieces of parchment together and moved them to one side of the desk.
"I'd be honoured Professor, Blake and I were discussing that I should be there during the court case if you're in agreement."
"I don't see why not, but Miss Granger, what you might see is not for the faint hearted."
"I'm aware, but I'm going to be there as moral support for Blake."
