Rather quickly the summer came to an end in the midst of Hermione's growing romance.
When reality hits it can be rather surprising and painful. Reality hitting Blaise and Hermione was no exception.
The train was moving along quickly beneath her. This would be her last train ride to Hogwarts before her last year of school. Standing in the empty compartment she idly fingered the shining badge fastened to her robes, her gaze steadily fixed out the window. The door opened slowly unannounced to Hermione, the figure was creeping up behind her, placing one hand gently on her shoulder before she jumped and turned around as indigo eyes met gold.
"Blaise you scared me," Hermione said as she blushed madly.
"Mmm," Blaise murmured as he pulled her into a warm embrace before kissing her softly. Something clicked in Hermione's mind.
"What are you doing in here Blaise?"
"The same thing as you. You know how I said I was going to tell you something on the train?" Blaise began with a twinkle in his eye.
"You made Head Boy!" Hermione said excitedly.
"My, we are clever today," Blaise commented sarcastically.
"You know what this means don't you?" Hermione asked shyly.
"Well I know that it means that we will be spending more time together than we even did this summer. Not to mention we will be sharing a common room and our dormitories will be sharing a bathroom." Answered Blaise confidently as he snaked his arms around her waist pulling her towards him.
Hermione smiled into his lips as she murmured a small 'So you know'.
Blaise smiled as he kissed his girlfriend of a mere month (excluding the days before their second date) Unceremoniously the door of the carriage was thrown open as Hermione quickly separated herself from Blaise as Ginny walked in. Both Blaise and Hermione let out a sigh of relief.
"I just thought I should give you two a one minute warning before all of the prefects come storming in seeing you two snog. Speaking of prefects…" Ginny trailed off as 21 prefects strolled into the carriage.
Commencing the meeting the Head Boy and Girls both said their respective speeches, and the meeting continued as always. Before long the meeting had finished and the prefects exited the carriage and began to patrol the corridors.
"That went well." Hermione said relieved, "if only our whole year could run so smoothly."
"We can handle it, as long as we are together," replied Blaise kissing Hermione softly.
"Speaking of 'we' when are we going to let people in on our little secret?"
"Well considering Ginny is with Harry, I'm sure he already knows," Blaise began. "I told Pansy and everyone knows that she and Ron have something going on. I think that by the time we get back to the feast the whole school will know."
"Very logical of you Blaise," Hermione said before grabbing his hand and leaving the carriage hand in hand to find Harry, Ron, and Ginny.
Blaise was right about one thing everyone knew before the feast began in the Great Hall.
