Chapter 3 – Blaise and Ginny
"GRYFFINDOR!"
Everyone in the Great Hall clapped as Hermione made her way to the Gryffindor table, well everyone except the Slytherins and Professor Snape. He was just as shocked as the Slytherins because a Snape was always sorted into Slytherin. At the Gryffindor table, Hermione was bombarded with questions from her fellow Gryffindors. When everyone was finished with their meals Hermione and Ginny said their good byes to Harry and Ron and made their way the Headmaster who was standing there with Draco and Blaise.
"Shall we go then?" the Headmaster asked. The four nodded and they made their way to the head common room. When they arrived, they were greeted with a portrait of a little girl no older then five in a pink dress with curly blonde hair.
"This is your common room, no one else is allowed in here besides you four and the staff. The password is phoenix; you may change the password after a month. Goodnight" said Dumbledore.
The four of them walked in and stared at the room in awe. The room was slightly bigger then the Gryffindor common room. Half of the room was decorated in green and silver and the other half was decorated in scarlet and gold. There were two couches, one on each side of the room. In a corner was a fireplace and a bookshelf filled with books. There was also a staircase, which led to their rooms.
Hermione and Ginny went to room to sleep while Blaise and Draco sat and talked about Quidditch. The next day Hermione woke up and walked down to the common room to see Ginny snogging none other then Blaise Zabini.
"Ginny Weasley!" Hermione yelled.
"Hermione I can explain!" she said quickly.
"Then explain to me why you were snogging Blaise."
"Since when did you call him by his first name?" she asked trying to change the subject."
"Since he was in my Arithmancy class last year. Now don't try to change the subject."
"I'll tell you, but we have to wait until Malfoy comes out, so we can tell him too."
"Ugh, how long does it take for a ferret to get ready?"
"At least I care about my looks, unlike some people Granger," drawled Malfoy as he came down the stairs.
"I told you I'm not Granger anymore it's Snape to you," replied Hermione.
"I'll call you whatever I want," he said.
"If you two don't chill out we're not going to tell you," said Blaise trying to break up the tension between the two Heads.
"Fine," said Hermione.
She took a seat on the couch opposite of Ginny and Blaise and waited for them to explain.
"Before we tell you, you have to promise us not to get mad," said Ginny.
Hermione gave a sigh and said, "I promise."
"Draco?" asked Blaise.
"Fine, I won't get mad."
Ginny took in all the courage she had and said, "Me and Blaise are dating."
"WHAT!" said Hermione and Draco in unison.
"I can't believe my best mate is dating is dating the Weasel's sister!" exclaimed Draco.
"Shut up Malfoy," said Hermione.
"You guys promised us not to get mad," yelled Ginny.
"I'm not mad Ginny; I just want to know how come you didn't tell me earlier."
"I didn't tell you before because I thought you would be mad at me because I was dating a Slytherin and Malfoy's best friend."
"I trust your judgment Ginny; I would never get mad at you because of who you dated."
"Thanks Mione."
"Anytime Gin, shall we go to breakfast now?" asked Hermione.
They all nodded and made their way to the Great Hall. When they arrived, Ginny and Hermione sat down across from Harry and Ron. They exchanged their good mornings and started to eat. When they were almost done, Blaise came over and sat down next to Ginny ignoring the angry Gryffindors.
"What do you want Zabini?" asked Harry.
"Me and Blaise have something to tell you," said Ginny.
"Why are you calling him Blaise?" asked Ron.
"You see Ron," Ginny looked nervous while she continued. "Blaise and I are dating."
Harry and Ron had the same reaction as Hermione and Draco.
"WHAT!" they both said in unison.
"I can't believe your dating this guy, whose friend has insulted and tormented us for 6 years!" yelled Ron.
"I'm still here Weasley and don't judge me just because Draco is my best friend, especially," said Blaise stressing the last word, "Since I haven't even insulted you at all."
"He's got a point you know," said Hermione.
"Why are you helping him Hermione?" asked Harry.
"Because Blaise is not as cruel as Malfoy, he's the only nice Slytherin."
"How would you know?" he asked.
"I know because he was in my Arithmancy class last year and we got paired up a few times."
"Fine," said Ron who turned his attention to Blaise. "I'll let you go out with my sister, but if you hurt her you will regret it."
Blaise gave Ginny a kiss and left the Great Hall with Malfoy.
All day the trio stayed in the Gryffindor common room and talked while Ginny was out with Blaise. Whenever Blaise was mentioned, Harry and Ron would get mad. Finally, after dinner Hermione went back to the Heads common room and started to read on the sofa not ignoring Draco across from her. She read for half an hour then fell asleep.
Draco sat on the couch thinking about Hermione. How he had a crush on her since third year when she slapped him. He wanted to tell her how he felt then, but he couldn't because of his father. His father despised muggleborns especially Hermione because she was good friends with Potter and if his father found out he liked Hermione he would have killed both of them. Now that his father was dead, he was going to tell her how he really felt about her.
"Hermione?" he said softly.
When he got no response, he looked up and saw that Hermione was sleeping. She's so peaceful when she's sleeping he thought. He went in his room and got an extra blanket. He came back in the common room and put the blanket over her then fell asleep on the other couch.
