After Blaise had mixed up an antidote and it had been successfully distributed to all the guys, Ginny and Blaise began to work on another plan. They avoided any form of love potions after the disastrous attempt earlier, and so far they had come up short on ideas. Blaise was beginning to get frustrated because he was unable to ever be alone with Hermione anymore. For some reason Draco or Harry were always around her. He had a feeling that Draco was suspicious of his feelings.

Then came his first opportunity. Draco, Harry and Ron were all at a practice Quidditch game and Hermione was in the common room reading. When Blaise entered she looked at him nervously and stood up. She was about to go into her room when Blaise stopped her.

"Sit," he ordered.

She slowly walked back to her seat. She was lowering herself and abruptly changed her mind. Standing straight up and trying to look intimidating she glared back at him.

"Why?" she asked. "I want to go in my room."

Blaise looked at her for a second before laughing. "No, you want to sit out here. But now I'm here, and you can't be alone with me. Why is that?" he asked her.

"I don't know what you mean."

"Yes you do Hermione," he said, taking a step closer to her.

"Why won't your boyfriend leave you alone with me?"

Hermione watched him nervously as he advanced. "Honestly Blaise," she said, trying to reason with him. "I don't know what you're talking about. Draco just enjoys being with me, I guess. I'm not avoiding you," she said as she tried to move around the chair.

"If you're not avoiding me," he whispered as she took another step. "Then why are you backing up now?"

"Because I am uncomfortable with your behavior," she confessed.

Blaise jumped forward and grabbed her shoulders. Hermione began to struggle against him and was successful only in tightening his grip.

Suddenly the door swung open and Draco entered from the outside. Hermione breathed a sigh of relief as Blaise released her from his hold.

"Zabini!" Draco yelled.

"I didn't do anything," Blaise said, holding up his hands.

"Step away from mygirlfriend, Zabini," Draco said, walking over to Hermione and pulling her away from Blaise.

"I wasn't doing anything!" Blaise said again.

Hermione got her breath back; she stepped backwards away from both boys. "Blaise, never get that close to me again," Hermione said angrily.

"I wasn't doing anything!" Blaise said again, trying to look innocent.

"Stay away from my girlfriend, Zabini," Draco said quietly, grabbing Hermione's hand and pulling her gently away from Blaise.

When they got up into Hermione's room, Draco shut the door and turned on Hermione.

"I told you to stay out of the common room if me or Potter weren't with you," Draco said sadly.

"I'm sorry. I was cold and the fireplace was downstairs," she said shyly.

"I just don't want you near him, Hermione. He looked as though he was about to jump you down there."

Hermione hung her head. "Why does he want me?" Hermione asked.

"Probably the same reasons that I love you so much," Draco said ardently.

"And why is that?" Hermione asked, bringing her eyes back up to his.

"You know why, love. But if I have to say it again; you're beautiful, you're smart, you're very talented, and the way you arch your back when…"

"Draco!" Hermione interrupted. "I get it," she smiled.

"Your mouth is so tempting, you smell so good…"

"You can stop, Draco," Hermione said.

"I can go on and on, love," Draco said, taking her mouth with his and murmuring against it. "And you are such a good kisser."

After Draco had pulled Hermione upstairs, Ginny came into the common room.

"Blaise!" she yelled. "I've got the perfect plan. I know it will work. It's so simple…how did we not think of it before?"

"Whatever, Ginny," Blaise mumbled as he sank into the chair Hermione had been in moments before.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Draco knows I want his girlfriend. There is no other way to explain it. Potter or Draco is always near her; they never were before. He walked in while we were alone—I had my hands on her shoulders—and completely flipped out! I don't have a hope. We may as well just stop bothering."

"Blaise Zabini!" Ginny yelled. "You are not giving up!"

"What does it matter to you?" he asked angrily. "Draco is not interested in a Weasley.

Get over him!"

"I have put too much into this to just give up suddenly! Do you know how annoying it was for me to deal with that damned love potion? Now listen. All we have to do is break them up! If they aren't together than we can have them. Don't you see? Before, we were just trying to steal them. But they loved each other and got wise. If they break up…"

"Ginny!" came a shocked cry from the stairs. Hermione was standing there with wide eyes.

"Hi Hermione!" Ginny faked an innocent response.

"Ginny Weasley!" Hermione screamed.

"Heh, how long have you been there, Hermione?" she asked, hoping her friend hadn't heard a lot.

"Enough to know you are plotting against Draco and I!" she said angrily. She turned Blaise. "Blaise, I don't like you. I'm sorry but I am in love with Draco." She watched as Blaise cringed at her harsh words. Then she turned back to Ginny. "I don't think Draco knows of you other than as Weaselette. He's not the one for you. He's mine," Hermione said quickly, hoping to end this whole thing right here. She stopped, waiting for Ginny or Blaise to say something.

"What's going on?" Draco said as he came down Hermione's stairs.

"They're plotting against us!" Hermione yelled at him, still glaring at the pair that were cowering.

"Hermione, this isn't just some small crush, I love you…" Blaise said softly.

"I don't love you Blaise; right now I don't even like you. I barely even know you!" Blaise cringed again at the words; he felt his heart rip in two.

Hermione turned on Ginny. "And she does like you!"

"Well that's interesting, that's very interesting," Draco said, looking curiously at Ginny. Ginny blushed and looked away.

"Well, I'm sick of this," Hermione exclaimed. "You two had better stay away from us from now on."

"Or else you'll find yourselves at the mercy of the most powerful witch and wizard currently at the school," Draco threatened as he turned back up the stairs.

Hermione huffed and walked back up the stairs after her boyfriend.

"Well that went well," Ginny said sarcastically.

"This is horrible," Blaise groaned as he put his head in his hands.

"Well, I need to go tell Luna that I lost," Ginny said.

"Lost what?"

"She bet me ten galleons that I couldn't get Malfoy into bed, I guess I lost."

"Guess ya did," Blaise said to Ginny's retreating back. "But I wont," he whispered to himself.

A/N: I hope you all like the way that this story is going, this is not a Hermione/Blaise fic by the way, thus under the heading Hermione/Draco. If you do not want to read it because it is not Hermione/Blaise, please stop reading it and stop complaining to us about it.

I love you all
