Chapter 25

"I think it's time we ran!"

Blaise and Ginny ran down the old marble stairs as quietly as they could. As they reached the bottom, they turned the corner and hid behind the biggest pillar furthest away from the stairs.

They waited several minutes, for Hermione and Draco to come down.

"I don't think they're going to come down yet." Ginny said, panting.

"Wait for it Weasley!"

And they waited. And waited. A whole fifteen minutes passed when the two lovebirds descended. Blaise and Ginny squashed into each other so that she was poking into him.

"I know you want me Weasley but loosen up a bit!" he smirked.

"Slytherins! Now shut up before they hear you." Ginny too smirked as she moved away from Blaise slightly.

They could Hermione and Draco's heads bob up and down. They were holding hands. Hermione was about to turn around the corner when Draco stopped her.

"When will I see you again?"

"I-I don't know." Hermione said weakly. "Unless our matchmaker feels like it."

Draco smiled at her humour and Blaise grinned at his name, 'Matchmaker.' Ginny smacked him playfully and put a finger to her lips.

"Who do you think it is?" Hermione asked cautiously.

"I don't know but I will find out." Draco said, crinkling his eyes together. "I think I have a good idea who it might be."

Blaise looked at Ginny, and she looked at him. "Uh oh! I think we should go before anything suspicious happens."

"Good idea." Both spies quietly tiptoed away from Draco and Hermione and when they thought they were far enough, they ran for it.

Before they went their separate ways, Blaise called out to Ginny.

"Gotta hand it to you Weasley, you're a good Partner in Crime!"

"Only the best!"

"We should do this again!" Blaise said laughing.

"Cool!"

Then they heard light footsteps coming their way. Looking at each other one last time for the night, Blaise and Ginny ran back to their dormitories.

Ginny got her room and quickly changed her clothes and got into bed. She turned the light on, waiting for Hermione to come back. She had told Hermione just before she left that she would be waiting up for her.

Blaise entered the Slytherin common room to see it was hardly empty. Mostly the older students were sitting around doing work or chatting to each other.

He went to his room and took of his robes. He busied himself with some work so that Draco wouldn't be suspicious. He knew Draco would definitely stop by before he went to his own Tower.

Wait a minute, I don't do work!

He laughed to himself and was about to go and find a girl with who he could do what he did best.

Draco walked Hermione back to the end of the corridor which led to the Gryffindor Tower.

"When are you going to come back?"

Hermione knew what he meant. She had been avoiding the question for quite long but now, she couldn't.

"I just need time, I have to sort my head out." She said tightening her hold o his hand. She moved to go when Draco pulled her back.

"The Heads dormitory is getting lonely." He said, grinning but Hermione knew that he was telling the truth.

Draco watched as Hermione disappeared behind the Fat Lady's Portrait and made his way to the Slytherin common room. He had business to sort out.

Just as Blaise was leaving his room, Draco blocked his way.

"A word. Now!"

"How did your meeting go?"

"You know how it went and if I'm right, I believe that you were probably there spying on us."

"What are you talking about Draco, I've been here the whole time, ask anyone!"

Blaise was keeping his cool; he had spent a lot of time lying to other people that it had become a talent.

"So you know nothing about the notes?"

"What notes?"

Draco knew Blaise was the person behind it because he was the only person who knew. Unless he had told anyone, which he seriously doubted.

"Butt out Blaise, before you get yourself into a mess and drag us into it as well!"

And before Blaise could answer back, Draco fled the room.

"I don't think so Miss Granger!"

"Damn!"

Hermione had tied to walk past Ginny's bed to her own without waking up the redhead, but she was awoke when she heard the door shut with a soft thud.

"Sorry, I didn't want to wake you up!"

"Yeah right! Now, sit and spill!"

Hermione went through the evening like a light breeze. Everything was fresh and Hermione wanted the memory to stay like that.

"Soooo?"

"So what?"

"Don't play dumb with me Hermione, did you kiss?"

"I don't kiss and tell!"

"Ooooh! What was it like?"

"Ginny!"

"What? I'm only asking, getting it off your chest will make you feel even happier!" Ginny grinned, sneakily.

"Yes we did kiss and it was heaven and that's all I'm telling you!"

"Hermione! Don't be a spoil sport!"

"Nope!"

"Fine!" Ginny said sulkily and was about to turn away from Hermione when she stopped her.

"But I do have something interesting to tell you!"

Ginny knew what was coming but she let on that she had no clue.

"What? What happened?"

"You know the notes I told you about, the one Draco had sent?"

"Yeah."

"Well they weren't from him, it was from someone else."

Hermione told Ginny about the little scene whilst Ginny thought to herself, tell me something I don't know!

The girls talked and talked until Lavender Brown threw her pillow at them and telling them to shut up.

"Look, it's late and you can talk about boys another time! I need my beauty sleep!"

And with that she fell back asleep again. Hermione and Ginny laughed quietly at the sudden interruption.

"Goodnight Ginny. We'll talk tomorrow."

"Night Mione."

Draco woke up the next morning to a dim room. The fire that was lit last night was out and the Draco's bedroom carried a cold gist. Removing the duvet of his chiselled chest, Draco stretched.

He got out of bed and waked towards the bathroom. And in fifteen minutes he was out. He was about to pull some clothes out when he heard a noise coming from the Head's Common Room.

The first thought that popped into Draco's head was that Hermione was back. He ran out of his room, forgetting that he was only wearing his boxers.

He flung open the door and ran down the few steps leading into the Common Room.

"Mr Zabini! I don't appreciate being woken up so early in the morning!"

"Sorry Salazar."

"I'm forgiving you because you're a Slytherin. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some beauty sleep to catch up on!"

Draco watched as Blaise picked himself up from the floor and with him he picked up the decoration piece that had fallen.

Draco tried hard to hide his disappointment and scowled at Blaise.

"Oh it's you!"

"Good morning to you too!"

Draco stormed back to his room.

"I have to say Draco you look good in your boxers!"

"Blaise, bugger off!"

"I'm only trying to be nice!"

"Blaise you don't do nice!"

"Well I can start!"

"You can start with telling me why you're here?"

"What can't I drop in and see my best mate?"

Draco looked at Blaise, scowling at him. Blaise just grinned back.

"Spit it out Zabini."

"Okay, I'll get to the point. Firstly, whatever you accused me of yesterday was not true," Blaise lied, but Draco doesn't need to know that. It's for his own benefit!

"Do you honestly want me to believe that Zabini?"

"Okay stop with the surname and yes, you are supposed to believe me because I'm your best mate."

Draco knew Blaise was right. He was hi s best mate and no matter what he should believe his best mate.

And if it wasn't for Blaise, I wouldn't have had a chance to meet Hermione.

"Sorry Blaise, you're right, I should have believed you."

Blaise looked at Draco as if he'd grown an extra head or something.

"Huh? I'm righ…of course I'm right."

Blaise watched as Draco finished getting changed and they both stepped out of his bedroom. Draco glanced at Hermione's empty room door and sighed.

Noticing this, Blaise clapped Draco on the back as they made their way into the Common Room.

"I thought that we could do a game of Quidditch before breakfast. I need a tough challenge. Ever since you've been gone I've had to play lousy games with the others."

Draco chuckled and Blaise.

"Come on!" Blaise said pulling Draco out of the dormitory. "You never know what might happen. Or who you'll meet." Blaise said a smirk creeping onto his face.

"What are you up to Blaise?"

"See, here we go again with the trust thing!"

"Sorry!"

The two boys left the dormitory. One with a big plan already formed in his mind and the beginning of it accomplished and the other with doubt and suspicion in his mind.

A/N: Tell me what you thought of it. It was the best I could after a week of doing non-stop coursework. I feel like my brains going to fry up! Okay maybe I'm exaggerating but that's how I feel like!! Anyway please review and tell me what you thought of it. Personally I don't think it was my best chapter but hey, I have my reasons.

Luvyu all
