A/N: Thanks for the reviews and here is the next chapter. But the chapter was really long (12 word doc. pages) so I broke it up into two chapters, so here is the first part.
Also I have been told by two people that Blaise's last name is Zambini (and I know there is confusion between Zambini or Zabini), and I prefer Zambini so I am keeping it that way, sorry to anyone who likes it the other way.
I also want to thank Draco Is Mine 4 Eva, Kay345, Elfaghetti, Average Jane, PrincessAngelz, and Jasmijn for your reviews.
Now here is the story.
--------------------------------------
CHAPTER 4A
"Drakey, where are you, we need to discuss our wedding," yelled a frantic Pansy while looking for Draco throughout the Slytherin common room.
"Pansy, he left. He knew you were coming and he decided to disappear before you showed up," answered a half-asleep Blaise who had been sleeping on one of the couches.
"Shut up Blaise, I didn't ask for your opinion. It's not like anyone likes you, your just a um, well I'm not sure what, but whatever it is, it is bad!"
"Oh, Pansy, you wound me with your wicked, wicked words. How ever will I get over my grief?"
"I don't know, but I don't care. Now if you see Draco, tell him I am looking for him and he needs to talk to me as soon as possible," Pansy said smugly while walking out of the dungeon room.
'Oh god, she needs a life, a better vocabulary. It's just wrong to insult her, she has no idea I'm doing it. Actually, I see nothing wrong there. Better go find Draco." With that, Blaise followed Pansy's idea and left the common room.
-------------------------------------
"So, 'Mione, you're going to Hogsmade this weekend right?" asked Ron.
It had been a month into school and the first Hogsmade trip was coming up. Not much had happened since the start of school. All the teachers were now preaching inter-house niceness, not just Snape. Draco and Hermione still had their truce in potions, Blaise and Harry were slowly becoming acquaintances, and Ron was still stubborn as ever to get along.
"Yeah, I figured I would pick up a new book since I finished all mine," answered Hermione.
"So, um, you'll hang out with Harry and I right?" Ron asked.
"Of course, why wouldn't?"
"I dunno, just making sure. It just seems like you have been distant and all."
"Ron, we go through this every year, I am just getting back into the sway of things and after the next Potions test, should have plenty of time to hang out."
Ron's face brightened and he smiled. "Good, because you should hang out with us Hermione. You need a life."
Just then, Harry walked up with Ginny and Neville.
"Hey guys, we are all on for Hogsmade right? Hermione's even going," greeted Ron.
"Yup," answered Neville while popping his 'p'.
"Yeah, Luna, Seamus, Dean, and Sam are gonna hang out with us too," said Ginny.
"Great, the more the merrier," answered Hermione.
Just then, Ginny's tummy went a rumbling, so the group headed down to the Great Hall for dinner.
------------------------------------------------
"So, has Pansy found you yet?" asked Blaise.
"No," answered Draco. "Wait, she's not looking for me is she?"
"Yeah, she was looking for you like a half hour ago in the common room. She was babbling about trying to plan your guys' wedding. She is really dumb, doesn't she like realize you aren't being married?"
"I guess not. All well, she's not my problem anymore." As Draco said that, Crabbe and Goyle walked by since the two pairs were heading to the Great Hall.
"Crabbe, Goyle!" barked Draco. "Make sure you keep Pansy away from me, I want to eat my dinner in peace."
"Sure Draco, whatever you want," said Crabbe.
The four boys then walked to the Great Hall and started to eat.
-------------------------------------------
"So Hermione, what have you been up to. I haven't talked to you in so long?" asked Ginny.
"Yeah, Hermione, you are never in the dorms, so we don't see you either," added Lavender Brown, who was sitting next to Parvati Patil.
"Well, you know just getting back into the groove of school. Plus, my classes are kind of, you know, hectic," answered Hermione. "Hermione, you are taking all advanced classes, you don't have too. You should allow yourself a social life. Get out more, you need to date more," said Parvati.
"I guess."
"No, Pavati has a point Hermione, you are always way to wrapped up in school. You haven't even come close to dating anyone since you broke up with Viktor Krum," added Lavender.
Hermione had broken up with Viktor about a month after he went back to Drumstrung, the long distance relationship just didn't work for them, but they were still friends and had kept in contact.
"Fine, you know what girls, after this weekend, I promise to have more of a social life, okay?"
"We couldn't ask for more," said Ginny.
'I'm sure you could," thought Hermione.
------------------------------------------------
Soon it was Saturday morning and all the students third year and up were making their way down to Hogsmade. They were all excited for the chance to leave Hogwarts and go to the town.
"So, Malfoy, having anymore Pansy problems?" asked Blaise already knowing the answer.
'I don't even need to dignify that question with an answer,' thought Draco and instead of answering just glared at Blaise.
"I figured as much," said Blaise with a laugh. "Did you tell her to leave you alone and all?"
"Argh, you would think it would've seeped in through her pug face that we are through, but nnnnnnnnoooooooo, she doesn't get it," said Draco now on a rant. "Did you know that two nights ago she was in my bed?"
At Blaise's questioning look Draco decided to continue. "Yeah, Thursday night, you know when we had quidditch practice? Well, she decided it would be funny if she hid in my bed and surprised me."
At the confusion clearing off of Blaise's face, Draco guessed he could finish the story.
"Oh, so that is why you were yelling after we got back," asked Blaise. "Yeah, and she tried to look sexy laying there, I was so angry, the gall of her! Argh, she pisses me off! Plus she didn't even look sexy, she was nauseating!"
"I understand, well I don't and I really don't want to, so I offer you comforting words, such as, well I can't think of comforting words to help, so lets go get a butterbeer."
"Fine by me, and don't ever try to offer me comforting words, that was almost as horrible as your attempt at bonding with me." 'He better not be bonding,' thought Draco angrily.
The duo then proceeded to get Butterbeers and decided to sit outside since it was a warm nice day and it was crowded and stuffy inside.
-------------------------------------------------
Inside the Three Broomsticks, occupying three tables, were the Trio and all their friends.
"So, Hermione, you got anymore jokes? The ones you were telling earlier were great," asked Sam Miller. At the beginning of the year, she didn't hang out with the group as much, but slowly her and Neville became good friends so she just kind of joined the group, and they didn't mind having her. She had light brown hair down to her mid back and blue-green eyes that shifted with what she wore.
"Hmm, well give me a sec, I've told you guys like twelve, and I don't have that many memorized," answered Hermione.
"Oh, hey I got one. Dudley told it to me once trying to be offensive, but it didn't work," said Harry.
"Well, tell us mate, I wanna know. These joke things are great," said Ron.
"Okay, okay, what subject is a witch best at?" said Harry.
"That's hard," said Hermione sarcastically. "I heard this one before Harry."
"Well don't tell them, let them try and guess," said Harry with a twinkle in his eye.
"Oh I got it," said Neville. "It's Potions isn't it?"
"No," said Harry.
"Defense Against the Dark Arts?" asked Sam.
"Nope."
"Transfiguration," asked Ginny.
"No."
"Muggle studies?" asked Justin.
"No. Come on guys, you can get this," said Harry.
"Divination," said Dean.
"Not even close," said Harry.
"Harry, quite teasing them and tell them," said Hermione.
"No, they all need to guess, first," answered Harry.
"Well, I have no clue, so my answer is, they aren't good at any specific subject," said Luna.
"Nope," answered Harry.
"Well, Harry, just tell us. Lavender, Parvati, and I don't know, so just tell us," said Padma Patil. She was Parvati's twin sister and in Ravenclaw.
"Wait, I got it. It's spelling!" yelled Seamus.
"Yeah. How'd you get it?" asked Harry.
"Well, it's a muggle joke and since I actually understand the concept of jokes, being that they are clever but simple and normally the answer is pretty obvious, and so I just guessed that," said Seamus. "Plus I sucked at spelling in grammar school so it kind of was funny in my head. I just through of all the muggle subjects I took in school basically."
"Well, you got it," replied Harry.
Soon a new round of Butterbeers were passed around.
"Hey guys, I think I am gonna go over to the book store and pick up a new book. Meet me there once you finish, okay?" asked Hermione.
"Sure," answered Neville, Ginny, and Ron at the same time. They then burst into giggles.
------------------------------------------
"Draco, I finally found you. I have been looking everywhere for you."
"Pansy, that really didn't sound like you were excited or anything," answered Milicent. She was one of Pansy's friends who was helping her practice what she would say to Draco, once she found him that is.
"Shut up, Milicent. I'll go find Draco, but I want to find a robe to impress him with."
"Well, we aren't gonna find him shopping in the robe shop. And, if he really cared for you, wouldn't you like not need to find a robe to impress him with?"
"I know that. I just need a new robe. And, then we can go find him."
"So are we done now that you have your new robes?" asked Milicent.
"Yeah, let's go find him." And after paying the two girls left the store to go on their hunt.
---------------------------------------
After, finishing off their butterbeers, Blaise, Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle all walked along the main street heading towards Zonko's.
However, on the way there, Draco decided he was going to go into the bookstore. He wanted to pick up a new book on quidditch.
"Zambini, meet me back here in 5 minutes. I am just gonna run in and get the new Quidditch Brooms book," said Draco.
"Okay, see you in five," answered Zambini. He, Goyle, and Crabbe then all walked off to Zonko's, leaving Draco to go to the bookstore.

CHAPTER CONTINUED IN CHAPTER 4B
Read onto Chapter 4B for the next segment. I uploaded it right after this show it should be here, if not wait a little bit and then come back.
If you didn't catch the joke Harry said it was- What subject is a witch best at? and the answer is Spelling. If you don't get it then I can't really help you sorry. Anyways, I put in the joke because I heard it at school and thought it was funny and cute and thought I could share it with you, plus it just kind of went with the story.
Alright, so please review.
