Chapter 2

Harry hurried out of the great hall still smiling bemusedly and wondering about his interaction with Blaise. He found Ron and Hermione waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs and they wandered off to celebrate Ron's birthday together. Originally, they had planned on Harry and Ron going flying for the morning while Hermione watched but Harry's new attire was making him doubt those plans. They walked down to the quidditch pitch Harry ignoring all the looks he was getting, while Ron grabbed some brooms.

"Ah mate I don't think that's such a good idea with what I'm wearing" Harry said a little sheepishly waving his hand towards his outfit. He was surprised that even though he was hardly wearing any clothing in early March, he didn't feel cold at all. Must be a side effect of the potion he thought.

Ron blinked a few times as though reminding himself of what Harry was actually wearing then gave a small chuckle.

"Ah right, do you mind if I go for a quick fly though?"

"Not at all birthday boy" Harry said brightly before wandering over to Hermione who was sitting in the stands.

"So, have you got any ideas how I can break this potion?"

Hermione turned to look at him snickering, "No sorry Harry, you know what Fred and George are like, too clever by half. If they say there is no way to break it then there probably isn't."

Harry sighed in resignation; he knew it was a long shot but had to at least ask.

They watched as Ron zoomed by a large smile on his face, Harry's fingers gently tracing the lace at his side.

After Blaise had watched Harry walk out of the hall, he made his way to the Slytherin table, taking a seat between Draco and Theo.

"Harry will be mine" he said calmly, dishing himself up some breakfast.

Draco and Theo shared a look of surprise before simply nodding.

"Of course," the Malfoy heir said calmly.

"I need Slytherin to keep an eye on him, make sure he's safe. I doubt I'm the only one with this idea after the little performance he put on this morning" Blaise said darkly, glaring around the hall as though daring anyone to touch Harry.

"We will spread the word through Slytherin" Theo said, taking a slow sip of his tea.

Blaise simply nodded in thanks before continuing to eat his breakfast.

Ron's birthday had turned out to be one of his best so far, according to the red head. Presents and flying in the morning then lunch at Hagrid's, where the food had turned out to be unexpectedly edible. Hagrid had been surprised to say the least at Harrys new outfit and had laughed uproariously for several minutes before he eventually calmed down. Harry had scowled furiously but that just seemed to make Hagrid laugh even harder.

They had wandered back up to the castle in the afternoon heading to Gryffindor tower to play a few games of exploding snap before dinner. Harry had managed to forget about what he was wearing after Hagrid had stopped his laughing; however, it all came rushing back when they entered the castle and all eyes turned to stare at him. Hermione and Ron moved closer to him, shooting glares at anyone who seemed to be staring to long. Harry felt an intense stare at his back and turned to find Blaise leaning on a wall nearby watching Harry so intensely that Harry felt his face warm up lightly. Harry sent him an unsure smile and Blaise returned it with a confident grin. The taller teenager pushed himself off the wall and made his way to Harry. Ron and Hermione watching him suspiciously.

"Alright there Harry?" Blaise asked softly running a hand gently over one cheek. He smiled softly when Harry subtly leaned into the touch.

"Oh yeah. Just wish everyone would stop staring. Though I guess I should be used to staring by now."

"Hmm… If I had my way no one but I would get to see so much of you" Blaise murmured quietly stepping deeper into Harry's personal space causing the Gryffindor to gasp slightly as green eyes looked up to meet deep brown. Harry found himself continuing to stare at Blaise, long after what would have been considered an appropriate amount of time. He didn't know what was happening to him, but he was finding himself surprisingly intoxicated by Blaise, he radiated strength that drew Harry in and made him feel safe.

Before Harry could respond he found himself being pulled away by Ron, "come on Harry, lets' get out of here."

Harry shot Blaise one more look, the Slytherin raising an eyebrow at him in question before Harry allowed himself to be led away.

The three Gryffindors made their way to the great hall later that night for dinner with Fred, George and Ginny. All the Weasleys wanting to be together to celebrate Ron's birthday. They walked into the great hall all laughing and talking, joining the Gryffindor table where a small party broke out. As the sun begun to set a bright light enclosed Harry flashing for a few seconds. When Harry looked down again, he found that his dress was now a white silk nighty. His nipples hardening instantly at the feeling of the soft material rubbing against them, he blushed when he realised the peaks of his nipples were clearly visible through the thin material.

He rolled his eyes in frustration, "anything else you forgot to tell me?" He asked Fred and George with a huff, trying to ignore the laughter coming from the hall around him.

The twins just shook their head, "ah sorry about that Harry, forgot it did that actually" Fred said grinning slightly.

Harry's eyes narrowed at the unrepentant looks on the twins faces, he grabbed his wand and cast a strong stinging charm. The yelp of pain and surprise they let out made him feel a little better about his situation. George opened his mouth to say something but saw the glare Harry was shooting him and quickly shut it.

Sitting over at the Slytherin table Blaise had to forcefully hold himself in his chair to stop himself jumping up and wrapping the small Gryffindor in his arms and shielding him from the eyes of everyone in the hall when he saw the silky white nighty Harry was now wearing.

Draco shot him a smirk as Blaise let out a small groan.

Blaise continued to watch the dark-haired saviour during the whole meal but saw red when the smaller Gryffindor was making his way out of the hall, only to find himself the focus of unwanted attention by several 7th year Ravenclaws. Harry shoved the older boys away but before he could do much else Blaise had stormed his way across the whole and planted himself between Harry and the Ravenclaws.

Harry blinked in surprise when he found Blaise suddenly in front of him a strong arm coming out and wrapping around Harrys slim waist pulling him flush against Blaise's back. Harry surprised himself by going with the motion, allowing himself to lean against the strong back, feeling Blaise's muscles ripple as he raised his wand and pointed it at the offending Ravenclaws.

"Don't touch him!" Blaise growled out, his eyes flashing dangerously.

The Ravenclaws looked at him in surprise before raising their hands in surrender.

"Easy their mate, we didn't mean any harm."

Blaise just scowled until they hurried out of the hall.

Harry found himself disorientated as he was spun around and encased in Blaise' strong arms, concerned eyes staring into his.

"Are you OK, did they harm you?"

Harry shook his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'm fine, I don't need you to fight my battles for me though," though Harry couldn't deny that it felt nice to have some protect him for once.

Blaise just smirked, "I know you don't need me to Harry, but I want to."

Harry blinked in surprise and a small smile started to form on his face.
