DISCLAIMER: The little leprechaun on my shoulder is telling me to burn things. What?! He is! Ohhhhhhhh, right….yeah……..JK Rowling owns Harry Potter…. Blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda……don't stick beetles up your nose. You get the gist of it. Fuck I'm weird.
Chapter Fifteen: Bitch fights and a lil seduction
Blaise yawned. When she had woken up, she had found that Harry was gone. She couldn't blame him really. The whole baby situation was freaking him out more than he let on, she knew that. Not that they had really talked about it much. All the conversations they had had in the past few days's seemed to consist of "What are we going to do?" 's and "I don't know" 's. Not to mention the large amount of tears shed by Blaise.
It was bad enough getting pregnant. But getting pregnant to a guy who isn't even your boyfriend, and on top of that a Gryffindor……..not good. Her parents were going to kill her. Not literally, but she knew her father would probably consider it. How was she going to tell them? Merlin.
"Mum, Dad. I banged Harry Potter, and hey, whaddaya know, soon there's going to be a mini Potter running around."
Her mother would be so disappointed. She had always wanted Blaise to marry straight out of graduation. A nice rich Slytherin boy who she could start a family with.
"Someone like Draco, dear."
Blaise had almost choked when her mother had said that to her. Draco was her best friend. Sure, the guy was gorgeous, rich etc etc etc…..but it would be like marrying her brother. She remembered telling Draco about what her mother had said one day. Thankfully, Draco had taken it rather well.
"Like hell I'll ever marry you, Zabini. Don't let that bitch put any ideas in your head. Merlin, you're like my sister. That's disgusting."
Blaise smiled slightly at the memory.
She got out of her seat lethargically and started walking over to the door. On her way over, a piece of parchment on a nearby stool caught her eye. She made her way over to it and picked it up carefully.
Blaise,
Have gone back to the hospital wing to see how Gin is. Hope you slept well. Meet me down at the lake at 8….we really need to talk about this.
Harry.
Blaise slipped the note into her pocket and was just about to turn towards the door when she heard someone open it. She spun around to see Cho Chang standing just under the doorway wearing her blue quidditch robes with an expression of distaste written clearly across her face.
The two girls looked at each other for a moment. Cho giving Blaise a cold stare, and Blaise fixing Cho with a shocked gaze.
Blaise quickly forced a smirk to grace her features. "Chang," she acknowledged the other girl with a slight inclination of her head.
Cho stepped into the room calmly.
"Blaise Zabini," Cho said coolly, fists clenching and unclenching at her sides.
"Yes?" Blaise replied boredly.
"Why do I get the impression that you are the reason that Harry dumped me?" she asked through clenched teeth.
Blaise studied the Ravenclaw for a moment. "I'm sorry Chang, but I don't know what you're talking about," Blaise lied.
"Don't lie," Cho spat, taking another step forward. "You know exactly what I'm talking about."
Blaise looked at the girl calmly. "I'm not lying. Potter dumping your pathetic ass has nothing to do with me."
Cho started forward again, this time much faster, causing Blaise to stumble backwards into the armchair she had been sleeping in.
"You bitch!" Cho screamed. "You stole him from me! I know!"
"I didn't!" Blaise screamed back.
Cho didn't listen, just kept on with her enraged tirade. "You evil, manipulative little whore. You planned this didn't you!"
"Planned what?" Blaise asked meekly. If Cho knew……well, it would only be a matter of time before everyone at Hogwarts found out.
"I know you're pregnant, Blaise," Cho whispered spitefully.
Blaise shook her head. She could feel the tears beginning to come. Dammit, she was a Slytherin. She had to maintain self control. But she couldn't, and she let out a loud sob.
"All I want to know is, how did you do it?" Cho asked Blaise quietly. "How did you trick him into sleeping with you?"
"I – I d-didn't….he," Blaise choked out before breaking down into sobs once more.
"So it was more than once then?" Cho asked her voice shaking with anger.
"No..no, it was once…detention. I didn't mean for it to happen…I- I just….." Blaise broke off and looked up at Cho desperately wishing she would just leave.
Cho began to laugh. Not a humorous laugh, but a bitter laugh.
"You didn't mean for it to happen? You didn't mean it? I suppose Harry didn't fucking mean it either did he?" Cho stared down at Blaise for a minute or so. "So I guess the two of you are going to become one big happy family now, right?" she asked mockingly, but then her tone softened and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't think he'll ever love you honey……the boy doesn't know the meaning of the word. He played me, he'll play you."
With that, Cho turned around and walked towards the door, but before she left she stopped and looked around at Blaise. They held each other's gazes for a moment before Cho bit her lip and smiled sadly.
"I don't blame you. Not really."
She gave Blaise one last smile before walking out the door, a solitary tear sliding down her cheek.
Blaise sighed.
'At least the ex-girlfriend bit's done,' she thought.
She knew that would be the hardest part, and now it was over (she hoped), she felt more miserable than ever.

Hermoine dropped a stack of dusty books onto Professor Dumbledore's desk.
"These are all I could find, Professor," she said between breaths.
"Thankyou Miss Granger."
Draco looked at the stack of books. There were seven in total. Two large volumes that would probably take forever to read and five shorter ones that could be flicked through within an hour or so.
Dumbledore took the largest one off the top of the pile and began to flick through the pages carefully.
"Have you ever heard of the Delerdium spell, Miss Granger?" he asked Hermoine.
She frowned slightly as if trying to remember. After a few moments her eyes lit up.
"Yes," she said slowly, "it allows a witch wizard to trap a person in their own mind as well as being in the persons mind with them. But it's very advanced dark magic. It's very rare for a person with magical abilities to have the skill to perform the spell."
Dumbledore beamed at Hermoine. "That is correct Miss Granger. And do you remember what the counter curse is?"
Draco looked at Hermoine expectantly. Whatever he had to do to get Ginny back to normal again, he was more than willing to do it.
"If I remember correctly," Hermoine continued matter of factly, "the victim needs someone close to them to use the incantation which is used in conjunction with a powerful healing potion. Once again, it's very advanced magic. I doubt anyone close to Ginny would be able to perform it successfully."
Draco stood up and threw his hands in the air. "Well someone has to!"
Dumbledore looked from Hermoine to Draco. "Very well. We need to get to the hospital wing. Mr Weasley, Mr Potter and the two of you will need to be present. If one of the four of you can't reverse the spell I fear no one can."
Dumbledore walked over to his desk and took a pinch of powder out of a crystal bowl. He through it into the fire and enunciated clearly. "Severus Snape."
Within ten seconds, Professor Snape's head was floating in the fire place.
"You called, Headmaster," Snape drawled.
"Yes, Severus. I need you to go into your storerooms and fetch the most powerful healing potion you have. One that is strong enough to combat the Delerdium curse."
Snape looked mildly shocked.
"Delerdium?" he asked astonished, "are you sure Albus?"
"I'm afraid Severus, that I am one hundred percent certain," he said gravely.
"Who is the potion for? If I know who the person is I can strengthen the most powerful potion I have with a strand of their hair, presuming they are not…." He paused for a moment, "at a dangerous stage."
"Certainly, Severus. It is Virginia Weasley. She is in the hospital wing and thankfully she is in the early stages of possession," Dumbledore replied.
"I'll be there as soon as possible, Headmaster," Snape said hurriedly and his head disappeared from the fireplace.
Dumbledore turned to Draco and Hermoine. "We will go to the hospital wing now."
Both students nodded solemnly and followed Dumbledore out of his office and up to the hospital wing.

"Miss me?"
Ginny quickly stood up, startled, at the sound of Tom's voice.
"Of course," she replied coyly, slinking over to where he was standing.
"Did you miss me, Mr Riddle," she purred seductively.
"Mmmhmm," he murmured in her ear, "you have no idea."
He flicked his tongue out into her ear quickly, smirking when he heard he gasp. Slowly, he began to trail his tongue down the side of her neck, leaving goosebumps all along where he had been. Half way down he began sucking, nipping, totally aware of the gasps coming from her mouth. He had forgotten how good she tasted. This girl would be his downfall if he wasn't careful, he could tell.
Tom put his hands under the back of her shirt and stroked small circles into her back. Unwillingly, she arched into him. She hated him for what he was doing. But she didn't hate what he was doing right now.
'Maybe a little won't hurt,' she found herself thinking. 'I can resist him when I want to.'
He worked his lips back up her neck and to her jawline, then to the corner of her mouth. Before capturing her lips with his own, he slid his hand up the front of her top to her stomach, stroking slightly, working his way up to her bra, tugging slightly at the fabric. Once he had caught her lips for a few seconds he pulled away and looked at her. She was taking shallow breaths, her eyes half closed.
Tom smirked. Draco Malfoy was history.
