Hooray! Another story update! I should buy some confetti to throw around everywhere… Yeah, the person is downright obvious, duh… Well… let's jog up your memory first… but that's when the story starts. For now, you've got to listen to my rambling… don't worry, it's about Blaise!

JK Rowling has described Blaise as a haughty-looking black boy in her 6th book. That is nothing like what I've thought. Let's modify it a bit to my fantasy shall we?

A haughty mischievous-looking black-haired boy… Much better.

Now… let me continue on with my rambling…

Some complaints on the Half-Blood Prince plot (I'm not gonna spoil the story twist guys, don't worry. I read a newspaper article that told the two main twists in the first sentence, and I am disappointed.)… Firstly, I'm not into the idea of Hermione kind-of liking Ron while he's going out with a certain person coughLavenderBrowncough… and all sorts. The other one is Blaise being kind-of friends with Draco, then Draco turning evil (bet you we all saw that coming)… whoops, NOT GONNA SPOIL ANYMORE, sorry guys…

(Note: Thanks to Sara, for remarking me on my poor grammar. I can spell, but my grammar's a bit… okay, a lot off because I'm Indonesian I guess… I've been speaking English only for a couple of years… but I'll still try to improve… thanks! I'll try to find a beta, but it'll be hard since my school hasn't got that great of a reputation and my friend's spelling and grammar sucks even more than mine.)

(Nobody's POV, a little flashback at the start)

She (Hermione) almost reached the common room, and continued down the corridor, until she heard a familiar voice.

'That vos a wonderful trip outside 'Ogwarts, Proffesor Dumbledore. Thank you!' the voice echoed. 'I vill be more than 'appy to pay a visit to all your students… one in par-tee-cu-lar.'

'Can't be him…' Hermione thought of a certain person.

'No problem. Glad to see that you've improved on your pronunciations!' seemingly Dumbledore said it, since there was no one else who sounded like that.

'You're welcome. I see you haff noticed!' said the familiar voice. Then they continued discussing on how beautiful the outdoors of Hogwarts was, and so on.

Hermione just decided to forget about this, and walked tiredly to the common room.

(The next morning… still nobody's POV… God!)

The next morning it was time for Arithmancy for Hermione. Then a shadowy figure appeared, and waved to her.

Hermione immediately recognised this, and grinned, surprised.

'Oh Merlin, it IS you!' she said excitedly.

'I've missed you… Her-my-ohh-nee!'

Dumbledore appeared out of nowhere like he has always done.

'Well… I assume you would want to take our guest on a little tour around the castle, Miss Granger. Surely you haven't forgotten about Viktor Krum that quickly.' Dumbledore continued, with his eyestwinkling as usual.

'My English haff improved splendidly also, Herr-my-oh-nee!' Viktor told excitedly.

'That's wonderful! I thought I wouldn't get another chance to see you!'

'Well… I'm sorry to break this conversation, Viktor and Miss Granger, but we are going to have a sudden "assembly" in the Great Hall to introduce our little guest to our students!'

'Bye Her-moo-ah-nee!' Viktor said, pronouncing Hermione's name a bit wrong. She just smiled, and then sighed.

'Well… that was close enough.' Then she went off to find Harry and Ron.

(Hermione's POV, in the Great Hall)

'What's with the sudden assembly and all?' Ron asked me, baffled. I smiled.

'You'll see…' I told him.

Dumbledore stepped up, as all eyes turned towards him.

'Students, welcome, and sorry for making you miss your first lessons, whatever they are!'

I wasn't so happy to miss Arithmancy, but Ron was whispering to Harry about how glad he was to skip out on Divination. I told them they should've gone with me and get taught by Professor Vector instead with that crazy Trelawney.

Dumbledore continued '… but you won't be disappointed, since we are here to be introduced to our special visitor! Most of you will remember him from last year in the Triwizard Tournament…'

Harry shuddered as Dumbledore said that. It wasn't the greatest memory of Harry's.

'Here is Viktor Krum, who is now still a professional Quidditch player, but is not a student of Durmstrang anymore. He graduated last year!'

Almost all the girls squealed, and I swore he just winked at me. Ron looked like he could be steaming as I waved happily towards Viktor.

'Now… Viktor said he would like to make a speech.' Viktor nodded as Dumbledore announced this. 'Go on now, Viktor.'

Viktor now stepped up, and grinned, from his usual scowl.

'I vould like to thank Professor Dumbledore, your headmaster for giving me to visit this school once more. I haff loved my previous stay 'ere last year, especially with the companion of a certain someone…' then he looked towards me. I blushed. Harry didn't care. Ron turned (very) red (and a slight shade of purple, but never mind that). Zabini looked like he was confused. Malfoy just moped. Viktor smiled.

'Some of you very bright students might start to vonder why I am here. I haff heard that Madam Hooch needs to take a short break, so I decided to stop playing for Bulgaria for a while and teach in this vonderful school. I vill be assisting your Quidditch team members for their trainings and such.'

Some of the girls from his fan club and the sort seemed disappointed because they don't play Quidditch. The guys (who apparently play Quidditch) got all excited at the idea of having a famous player as their "coach" I guess… Then I looked to the front as Viktor continued with his speech.

(Still Hermione's POV, at the end of the assembly)

Finally the assembly finished. Everyone else got out of the door, discussing about the sudden change. This will probably brighten up many people's year, since Umbridge have been making it quite miserable.

Then Dumbledore asked me to stay behind, and to take a seat. I did, and got ready to listen.

'Miss Granger… we ALL know how close Viktor is to you…' he started. Viktor and I nodded.

'…so I was hoping that it would be alright with you if you become his guide of some sort. We don't want him lost around the castle now do we?'

'Sure sir… but can I ask where Viktor is staying?' I queried. Dumbledore smiled slightly.

'Why… he's staying in the guest room, right next to my office!' he replied. 'On the left side of it, mind you. Ooh, and Viktor, the password for it is "Fizzy Flies" (A/N- Look, I was thinking of "fizzy", and "fly". Not my fault!), don't forget it!' Then he turned towards me.

'Well… if you would guide our guest to his room Miss Granger…'

'Of course sir…' I responded. Then I walked out of the Great Hall with Viktor.

(Hermione's POV Readers: Still, on the way to Viktor's room)

I tried to start a conversation to break the silence.

'So… how's Quidditch been going? Still doing that…' I paused, thinking first. What was that Wonky Faint thing again? Ah, I remember! '…Wronski Feint thing?'

'Yes, sometimes! Quidditch is going very good… I vos catching the Snitch many times… and also in my spare time, I practise my English' he announced proudly.

'Uh… that's wonderful!' I praised, since I ran out of things to say. Then suddenly I bumped into someone.

Whoever it was got up, and dusted his robe with his hand. Oh, it's HIM.

'Watch it Mudblood, Zabini and I have some important business to go through with.' Malfoy then sneered. 'Well… look who's here… it's Krum! Have you called him "Vicky" yet?'

Right at that moment, he sounded just like Ron last year. I was about to tell him that until Zabini butted in.

'What's with this "Vicky" business?' Zabini asked. He is so thick-headed, not knowing what's going on. Didn't he notice anything at the Yule Ball last year?

'Oh… it's nothing Zabini, except that Granger is two-timing you with Krum over here… interested in hearing the story?' Malfoy replied.

'Hermy-ownee, vot exactly is "two-timing"?' Viktor asked.

'Never mind what Ferret-Boy said. I'll tell you the whole story… Come on Zabini, help me out with this...'

(Blaise's POV, that's right, it is, in Viktor's room)

'…so now we're carrying out Granger's plan.' I finished off. Even though I'm pretty sure she has the hots for me, I decided it wasn't smart to say that in front of Krum. Have you ever noticed how tall he is?

Krum rubbed his chin. 'I see… so you are acting as her boyfriend… you're not are you?' he asked suspiciously.

'Duh... no! I better be going now, Professor Snape is expecting me and Malfoy in 2 minutes.' Then I got up and went off. Of course, being the responsible person I am, I closed the door.

'Hurry up, Zabini!' Malfoy told me off.

'It's not like he's going to take points off, Malfoy.' I reminded him, just in case he forgotten Snape is our Head of House.

He scowled, but sped up.

'Wait for me, you moron!' I called out.

We were in Snape's office. Malfoy and his smart mouth asked him what he needed us for.

'I needed two quite intelligent people I could trust…' Not that Snape trusts me that much, but all the other Slytherins seem to have taken a liking to Gryffindorks. And of course, Granger might be smart, but Snape only trust us Slytherins…

'Mr. Zabini… if you would pay attention to me…' Snape said.

'Err… sorry sir.' I apologised. Malfoy snickered slightly.

'I need both of you to carry out separate tasks each… Zabini, wait outside the office while I tell Mr. Malfoy here about his job.' Snape commanded.

I walked out of the room, and took out a pair of Extendable Ears I… kind-of "borrowed" from one of the Weasley twin, I can't remember which one. I slipped it under the door, hoping it doesn't have any sort of charms on it. I continued eavesdropping to their conversation.

'I believe that you will be able to perform this task, Draco. Don't disappoint –' Snape got cut off.

'I can't believe it! But I guess it's because Father's in Azkaban now… and someone has to continue his job...' Malfoy replied.

'You'll certainly make the Dark Lord proud…' Snape said, but then trailed off. Merlin, am I hearing what I'm hearing right now?

Then I heard Snape's, or Malfoy's footsteps towards the door. I pulled the string and tucked away the Extendable Ears straight away, then leaned to a wall.

'Zabini, get in there now.' Malfoy said, and then pointed into the room.

'I know where the office is, Malfoy. Just piss off.' I replied hastily. There is absolutely no way that 15-year-old Draco Malfoy is associating with You-Know-Who! Already?

'Uh… what task do you have for me Professor?' I asked, suspicious.

'Err… I really need important help with… uh… tidying my Potions ingredients cabinet.' Snape answered, not-very assuring, mind you. 'Come back tomorrow afternoon, it is getting late now.' Then he pushed me out, literally by the way, from his office.

'Hurry up, Zabini. If you get left behind it's not my fault.' Malfoy said.

I kept a distance from him, and told him that I knew the way to my own room, which I've been going to for over 4 years now. He just grimaced, and continued walking.

I know that Malfoy's family have this dark feel around them, but I didn't expect them to actually be a family of Death Eaters or something… like my friend Theodore's dad. Oh great, I just let out his big secret to… whoever is listening to me rambling on. Some friend I am.

Malfoy muttered the password to the Dungeon, which all us Slytherins got used to now. Honestly, I would've preferred living somewhere with actual sunshine (so does most Slytherin whoapparently got their wish. The Gryffindors are so friendly they gave most Slytherins the password to their room, and most of them gained access to our dungeon!) The red on some people's robes indicated that some Gryffindors are still around, who I recognised immediately to be the leaders of SGU.

'Don't you think we should edit the song altogether?' Parvati suggested.

'I agree, the "Hermione Zabini" part is too long. Why don't we call it "Hermy Zabini"?' Millicent suggested. The rest of the SGU leaders nodded in agreement.

As I walk past them, I recommended them to shut up. They just looked at me with loathing and asked me 'Aren't you going out with Hermione?' Oh great, they're playing friendly. "Hermione" they say... what happened to the word "Granger"?

I almost announced that I wasn't going out with Granger, until I remember the plan. 'Uh… of course I'm going out with Hermione, but we need some… err… privacy.' I lied smoothly.

They made an "oh" face (A/N- Does that even exist?) and continued on with their stupid meeting.

(Back to Hermione's POV, and back in time, as Blaise walked out)

Zabini closed the door.

'Oh great, I have an "appointment" with him tomorrow, shouldn't have accepted the offer…' I said hastily. 'I know! Why don't you come along with us? I'm taking another one of my friend as well…'

Viktor grinned. 'I vould really like to come! You are not really dating him are you Hermow-ninny?'

'Uh… Her-my-oh-nee, Viktor. You got it right last time…' I corrected.

'Sorry… I haff been trying though.' Viktor apologised.

'Nah… it's okay.' I replied, and got up.

'You're going?' Viktor asked. I nodded, saying yes (well duh…).

'Just wait there Herm-eye-ohh-nee, I'm going to give you something.'

'Err… what?' I asked, baffled. He took out his wand, and muttered some spells. He pointed the wand at my thick bushy hair.

'Viktor… I don't feel… or look any different.' I said, looking at a mirror.

'You vouldn't right now…tomorrow you vill see…' Viktor said, and then smiled. It was so strange seeing him smile so many times… Probably glad to get out of Durmstrang.

'Alright… see you later, Viktor!' I said, waving. Afterwards, I closed the door.

(Hermione's POV, in the Gryffindorks, I mean Gryffindors Common Room)

'Hey, Lavender…' I said. She wasn't giggling, and Parvati wasn't around.

'What?' she asked.

'Would you like to go out with Zabini? I mean, he's taking me to Hogsmeade tomorrow…' I coughed up the words "not really dating" while no one's around, and luckily Lavender seemed to pick it up. 'Also, I want to bring Viktor along. So if you come with us, I'll just be talking to Viktor and stuff, while I leave you alone with Zabini!'

'You seriously got Blaise to go out with you?' Lavender questioned, sitting straight now.

'Yeah… I got Zabini to "go out" with me, but it's only because according to his opinion I "humiliated" myself. It's a long story… just forget it, okay?'

'Whatever… Oh Merlin, thanks Hermione!' Lavender half-squealed.

'You're welcome Lavender…' I yawned. 'Well… better sleep now…' Then I got ready for bed.

(The next morning…)

I woke up, and rubbed my eyes. I think I was the only one awake so early… no one else is awake. I still don't feel any different. Maybe Viktor messed up his spell or something…

I got up and washed my face. I wiped it on a towel, and looked at the mirror.

I screamed, almost loud enough to wake up the other Gryffindor girls (good thing they're deep sleepers… when they sleep, they really sleep).

My hair!

Something happened… don't worry, her hair didn't explode or of the such. I'm off to write the next chapter! (Sorry for the long wait guys; you're going to have to wait for a while again) Thanks for somehow still keeping up with the story!
