A/N: Happy chinese new year to those of you who celebrate! Here's a prezzie for you lovelies!
This chapter goes out to my sister for introducing the songs to me, thus inspiring this whole chappie in the first place. Oh and a warning, at the time this was written I had trouble getting lyrics so the song lyrics may contain a few errors. Just take it with a nice open mind alright? Sorreee!
Oh and spoiler! Guess who FINALLY sings?
Read on and do leave a review! Seriously. I love hearing from all of you, it helps motivate me so much. Keeps the uploads flowing too.
Over at last.
Draco blew out of the common room and rushed to Blaise's room, unable to bear sitting around Hermione for much longer.
"Blaise."
He looked up and raised an eyebrow at Draco's flustered appearance from where he was lying on his bed reading a magazine.
"What's got your wand in a knot Draco?"
Draco unceremoniously shoved Blaise's legs out of the way and sat in front of him, his face solemn.
Grumbling, Blaise reluctantly sat up and tossed the magazine aside, facing Draco as he did so.
"Alright Malfoy what happened?"
He watched in amusement as Draco groaned and buried his face in his hands.
"Granger happened that's what."
Blaise knew all about Draco's ignoring Hermione though he had not interfered since he was of the opinion that it was Draco's call to make.
"Did she threaten to hex speech out of you again?"
Draco shuddered at the memory. He had been saved by a passing Professor Flitwick but the terror of being held at wandpoint by Hermione Granger was not to be underestimated.
"Thank Merlin no although I'd rather take that at the moment."
Blaise patiently waited, knowing Draco would tell him everything at his own pace.
"She..she does this thing to my head. I can't explain it." Said Draco rather lamely.
Blaise raised his eyebrow again, a silent way of telling Draco to elaborate.
"I-she-these blasted thoughts-mess-ah blast it Zabini I don't know what this is!" Draco yelled, letting loose with a chain of choice expletives for good measure.
Blaise was well and truly curious now at seeing the ever-composed Draco Malfoy so flustered and red-faced.
What had Granger done to him?
"Look, let's try this alright?"
Draco raised his head to look at his friend.
"The room is fairly sound-proof. The bangle is capable of deciphering your feelings right? Why not let it?"
"That's your solution?"
"Since you seem incapable of a comprehensible explanation for your current state, yes."
Draco frowned.
Blaise sighed.
"Close your eyes." He ordered and Draco grudgingly obeyed.
"Alright, now picture Granger."
His mind's eye summoned up her image immediately. Soft curls that tossed as she danced. Pink lips that she immediately bit when she was concentrating. Creamy skin that flashed so tantalisingly when she lifted her arms. He'd always thought she was pretty good looking but had she always been so breathtaking? How had he not noticed before?
The thoughts and feelings came rushing back and his immediate reflex was to suppress them.
"Just feel whatever you're feeling. Stop fighting it." Scolded Zabini.
Draco clenched his fists on his knees but slowly stopped resisting the messy swirl of conflicting emotions swamping him.
"Tell me about her."
His bangle burst to life almost explosively and his eyes flew open.
Blaise smirked and neatly dodged Draco's fist a split second before Draco started singing.
"I love the way she fills her clothes.
She looks just like them girls in Vogue.
I love the way she plays it cool
I think that she is beautiful.
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's funny, she's yummy.
She wears a top that shows a little tummy.
It's easy to seize me
You never ever look that pleased to see me
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know how we'll make it through this
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know!
I love the way she bites her lip
I love the way she shakes them hips
I love the way she makes me drool
I think that she is beautiful.
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
A stunner. I want her.
Was she this fit when she was 10 years younger?
Come see me discreetly
She says she's got a trick or two to teach me
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know how we'll make it through this
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know!
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are lovely
I think that you are beautiful."
The bangle stopped glowing, leaving both boys gaping at what had just come pouring out of Draco's mouth.
Blaise broke the silence with a snigger.
"Figured out why Granger messes with your head yet?"
"Yeah. I think I do."
Blaise smiled. He had suspected as much from the way Draco had described her when they had spoken in the Heads' common room and had had time to come to terms with the idea.
He had no objections.
It was obvious to him she really did want to be a friend to his best mate rather than seeing him as some charity case to pity and comfort. Draco deserved that.
"Well?" he probed.
"Obviously I've been cooped up too long without female attention and since Hermione has gotten prettier it's made me hyperaware of her. I just need to get another girl or something." Draco decided.
Blaise upped and threw a pillow at his thick head.
"Oy! What was that for you tosser?" yelled Draco indignantly.
"For being a stupid git that's what isn't it bloody obvious? Wake up and smell the chemistry before it's too late you great stupid arse and for once in your uptight life go with the flow. Just because you've made some bad choices doesn't mean you can't believe in good things like romance anymore." Blaise exploded, his temper flaring, his usual cool and calm façade dropping immediately.
"What do you mean?"
At that Blaise swelled up like a bullfrog and opened his mouth to say something when a blue glow began filling the room.
It was from his wrist.
His eyes widened in horror even as his unwilling lips were forced apart.
"She's got you high and you don't even know yet
She's got you high and you don't even know yet
The sun's in the sky, it's warming up your bare legs.
You can't deny you're looking for that sunset.
She's got you high and you don't even know yet
She's got you high and you don't even know yet
It's the search for the time before it leaves without you
Have you lost your mind or has she taken all of yours too?
What's this about? I figured love would shine through
We've lost romance this world has turned so see-through
Open your mind, believe it's going to come to
Romance alive and hope she's going to tell you.
She's got you high and you don't even know yet
She's got you high and you don't even know yet
The sun's in the sky, it's warming up your bare legs.
You can't deny you're looking for that sunset.
What's this about? I figured love would shine through.
We've lost romance this world has turned so see-through.
Open your mind believe it's going to come to
Romance alive and hope she's going to tell you.
She's got you high
She's got you high
She's got you high
She's got you high
She's got you high
She's got you high
What's this about? I figured love would shine through!
We've lost romance this world has turned so see-through.
Open your mind believe it's going to come to
Romance alive and hope
She's got you high..!"
Blaise clapped his hands over his mouth, his eyes wide.
Draco smirked and brushed back a few stray strands of hair off his face, looking superbly unconcerned.
"Welcome to the club Blaise."
Then the song's lyrics hit him.
"Wait. What?"
Blaise smirked.
"You fancy her mate. Man up and admit it. You may be a Malfoy but you are clearly no match for Granger Danger. Draco? Draco! Oy! If you faint I'm stripping you and dropping you off at the Great Hall!"
Draco glared at Blaise as colour slowly came back to his face.
"There's no way Hermione can ever be with me you brainless shite. Why bother 'fessing up to her?"
Blaise stared at him.
"You're not denying it?"
Draco's face turned pink as he looked away.
"Merlin's pants you really like this one don't you?"
YES.
"No. 'course not."
A/N: Ahahahaha! Blaise finally sang! Yay! Don't worry folks we'll be checking in with Hermione to see if she's cleared up her feelings Draco-wise yet. Till then, REVIEW! Please? ^^
