Ok, chapter one didn't go over as well as I had hoped it would, but I'm hoping once it gets going we'll have some more feedback, I know its been a while, but I haven't really been that motivated to go on.
Recap: Harry never told Blaine he was a wizard, he's gone to stay with the Weasley's and bill knows that Blaine's dad is the new head of the Department of Mysteries... got a clue as to where this is going?
I'm going to make chapters shorter, but that means more often.
Chapter Two: False Pretences
----------------------------------
"I fell horrible about doing this to poor Harry." Mrs. Weasley whispered into her husband's ear as they watched both Harry and Ron pass through the barrier.
"I know dear, I know, but we must let him figure it out on his own." Arthur Weasley replied to his wife in a soft tone so no one would hear them. Mrs. Weasley sighed and they too passed through the barrier behind Ginny, and then passed out hugs to the group. Harry was still his miserable self.
He'd sent his letter to Blaine, but nothing came back, either she didn't get it or she was not going to send back because she thought he'd been at the Mickey or something.
Blaine stood nearby, petting the wriggling puppy clutched in her father's arms.
"Mum, please make sure you take Barkley for his walk everyday...or at least every couple of days" she leaned in closer to the little puppy, his head held softly in her hands. "I'm going to miss you baby." She smiled as he softly licked her nose and then she stood up and hugged her father, standing upon the tips of her toes to reach his height.
"Don't worry about Barkley, I'm sure your mother will take good care of him, right pudding?" Blaine hated the nicknames he had for her mother, but to her parents they were cute.
"Yes Blaine and I promise to send any notice of when he learns something new at these muggle obedience lessons you insisted he take." She smiled and Blaine hugged her too. Looking out over her mothers shoulder, she spotted Harry scanning the platform and pulled away quickly, hoping he hadn't seen her. She wasn't ready for his confrontation, even though she knew exactly what she was going to say to him. Now she was hidden by her mother's form.
"Goodbye mum, dad." Blaine said, allowing her mood to perk up for those three words, they both gave her a look of pride before she turned and headed off for the train. Barkley began to squirm incessantly and let out a sharp yip. Blaine turned to look at him and that's when Harry spotted her, having been distracted to look by the bark.
"Ron, hey, hey Ron, mate, it's Blaine." Harry said, tapping on Ron's shoulder and looking out as Blaine passed through the entrance onto the train. Ron looked to see nothing at all and placed a comforting hand upon Harry's shoulder.
"C'mon Harry, it's bad enough you thought you saw her in Diagon alley two days ago, she's a muggle mate." Mr. And Mrs. Weasley exchanged odd glances and harry6y continued to look after her.
"No." he shook his head. "No, those are her parents, I'm sure, deal with my things will you." he ran out into the crowd before Ron could stop him.
"Harry!" Mrs. Weasley called. "Oh dear, Arthur..." she looked to her husband for some sort of support.
Harry followed where Blaine had entered the train and looked down both ways, he saw the end of a trunk pass through a compartment door and bolted for it.
"Blaine." He said breathlessly as he reached the door and the girl turned to look at him, revealing the face he'd longed to see for the past little while. She dropped her trunk and her eyes and he frowned at her. "What are you doing here?" he asked with a frown as he shifted his weight onto the hand leaning against the doorframe as his body begged for air. She didn't look at him.
"This is the train to Hogwarts is it not?" she proceeded to place her things into the storage, but his hand stopped her, a small snickering from a single soul made him look up to barely notice two figures occupying the compartment.
"Yes, but... what are you do... what?" he stumbled and she met his eyes seeing total confusion. "Can we talk... alone for a minute." Blaine looked back at the other two girls in the compartment, one being Cho Chang and the other being one of her Ravenclaw friends.
"Hello Harry." Cho voiced and he looked passed Blaine to her, giving a small nod.
"Hey Cho." Blaine followed his gaze, but tried to hide her curiosity to no avail, he found his eyes on her again, seeing it before she could control it.
"There's a lot we have to talk about." He said in a soft, almost demanding way, a small frown pulling at the muscles in his forehead. She glanced back and ignored her things, stepping over them and into the hall where he was. He slid the doors closed behind her, much to her surprise. "Why didn't you tell me you were a witch?"He asked as soon as they were closed. Blaine rolled her eyes and crossed her arms across her chest.
"And you Harry? Why didn't you tell me you were a wizard? I thought..."she trailed off as she realized she was about to say something stupid, that made no sense in the first place. "I would've thought you would have told me that." He scratched his forehead, revealing his scar for a second before he reached out and grasped her upper arms softly.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you before I left, I just didn't want to have you think different of me." He ran his hands downwards stopping at her elbows, but she pulled away from him.
"Too late." she muttered under her breath, almost incoherently, but he didn't hear it.
"Didn't you get my letters though?" she immediately riffled through her pocket and pulled out four folded letters from within and extended them to him.
"I got them Harry, I just couldn't bring myself to read them." He took them from her and checked over them, not a one was opened, but the first was partially unsealed, like she'd wanted to read it, but changed her mind seconds later.
"But why?" was all he could muster, almost speechless. Blaine shook her head.
"You hurt me Harry, you lied to Me." his jaw dropp4ed slightly like he wanted to speak but couldn't' find the words.
"You lied to me too." He defended himself, shifting his weight onto his other foot. Blaine scoffed and crossed her arms again.
"Only after you lied to me..." she said, raising her voice a bit and he immediately let all the muscles that had tensed, loosen.
"Blaine..."he took a step closer to her and she took a step back. "Please forgive me?" he pleaded in a small voice, making her almost regret what she'd decided. She shook her head.
"I can't Harry, I spent all of this time knowing the truth, but I didn't understand why you didn't tell me, I have to get back to my compartment, excuse me." She made to go back into the compartment, but he stopped her once again.
"Blaine..."she glanced his way, but proceeded and closed the doors behind her.

Hey, hope you liked it; I know it took a long time to update, because, well, I told you why.
phenix-tears: she didn't tell him she was a witch, because he didn't tell her he was a wizard, if she would've told him, then he would've felt obligated to tell her in some way and it wouldn't really have been by his own choice...
.ice-lynx21 I'm glad you think it's one of the best, I'm sorry for taking so long, I'll try and get the next chapter up tomorrow morning.
