Falling for you

Chapter 3

Hermione stared in shock at Blaise, her mind seemed to come to a stand still for once in her life, she did not know what to say.

"What?"Hermione finally said after she regained her composure.

"I said: will you be my girlfriend?" Blaise replied coolly, smirk still on his face.

Hermione looked at him suspiciously, why would he want her, Gryffindor princess, best friend of his best friend's enemy, to become his girlfriend?

Blaise shifted under her gaze, then, as if knowing what Hermione was thinking, said, in the most sincere voice he could muster from himself.

"Look, I understand that you're suspicious, I would be too. But please, I want this chance; let me prove myself to you that I'm not the senseless jerk that you obviously think al Slytherins are."

Hermione looked at him, a million thoughts running through her head.

He is cute and handsome.

But he's a Slytherin, surely when he could have any girl he wants why would he want me?

This could after all prove to be a joke…

Wait, what am I saying, he's a Slytherin, of COURSE it's a joke…a sick joke…

But he does look so sincere…

O shut up…(A/N: The underlined is her conscience. Hehehe… just thought I'd make it a bit clear.)

Hermione looked Blaise in his cool ice-blue eyes and said as clearly as she could, "No."

Blaise looked as if he was in shock as she rejected him so easily, that was the best line that he had ever said to any girl in his life. Any. And she just flat-out rejected him.

He felt so beaten, he did not seem to know why but he did.

Hermione looked at his eyes and saw a flash of hurt, she took a deep breath and walked away from him and towards the door, not knowing why but she felt a sense of guilt rising from the pit of her stomach as she walked past him.

"Hermione wait," Blaise tried again, his arm reaching out and grabbing her arm as she past him.

Hermione stopped, she had never heard him say anything in that voice before, it seemed to be filled with hurt, and at the edge of it still had hope. It did not sound as though he was a Slytherin trying to play a joke on her at all. It sounded so sincere, even Ron or Harry never managed to come up with that voice before.

Blaise turned Hermione around at his other free hand circled her small waist, pulling her closer to him, "Please, Hermione, give me this chance."

Hermione looked into his eyes, so soft and pleading, and that voice was all she needed, "All right."

Inside, Blaise smiled to himself, happy that he had got what he wanted, but she also felt a feeling that he had never felt before, great happiness.

Hermione pulled out of Blaise's arms and started for the door, only to be pulled back into his arms again. Before she could say anything, she felt his lips come crashing down onto hers.

A/N: you know I actually wanted to stop here cause there's this little problem that I am currently supposed to finish my history homework…

So, since I am posting this on the chirstmas day, I'll either make it a little bit longer or shorter…ehehehe….

Hermione allowed herself to close her eyes, she had only ever kissed one guy in her life, and that person was her old childhood friend, who had tried to make a move on her last summer.

She remembered how his kiss was like, rough, she remember him pushing her roughly against the wall as he stuck his tongue into her mouth without her consent.

Of course, after that she had completely stopped talking to him to matter to many times he called her or sent her bunches of roses.

But kissing Blaise, she actually felt good, and even though she had just agreed to become his girlfriend and he did not know much about her, she could feel this sense of love coming from him, and she liked it, a lot.

They broke apart after a few minutes to catch their breath, both staring at each other lost for words.

Damn! She's a good kisser. Her eyes look so beautiful when there're shining like that. O, Draco's gonna be so mad!

Blaise smiled at the thought, knowing exactly how his best friend would react later.

That was the best kiss I ever had…

What are you comparing him to, your first kiss to a guy whom you didn't even like? That was the ONLY kiss you ever had that you actually kissed back.

Do you ever shut up?

Nope.

As Hermione and Blaise looked at each other, neither of them noticed two very shocked people staring at into the class rooms, both of them gaping at the newest couple in their school.

minutes before, outside the classroom.

"Don't you think Mione's taking a long time?" Ron looked at Harry as they were leaning on the wall, waiting impatiently.

"Yeah, but it's Mione, she knows what's dangerous to her." Harry said as he comforted Ron, knowing that Ron cared for Hermione more than just a friend.

But in his mind, he was already beginning to worry; Gryffindors and Slytherins didn't go together into an empty classroom for more than 5 minutes. Alone.

Ron looked at Harry, then, as if he was reading his mind, suggested, "You want to go check on them?"

Harry looked relieved, "Sure."

They walked towards the door and opened it.

Both their mouths dropped open in shock.

"Mione?" Ron finally managed to croak out.

The couple broke their locked gaze; Hermione looked flushed as she stepped back.

Blaise smiled warmly at Hermione, causing her to blush even deeper.

"Why?" Ron had a look on his face, Hermione tried to place it but found that she could not.

"When?" Harry's voice was calm, but it demanded an explanation.

"Why?" Ron chocked out again.

Hermione racked her brain for a good explanation, part of her wanted to shout out that he had come onto her, then realising that she had kissed back.

"Look, I need to talk to you guys about someth-" Hermione did not get a chance to finish her sentence before Ron cut in again, only he was talking to Blaise.

"WHAT did you do?"

Hermione tried again, "Guys, I need to tell you something, Blaise asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes."

Chaos erupted.

Both Harry and Ron, who had turned his gaze back at Hermione, had launched themselves at Blaise, both had decided to interrogate him.

"Blaise Zabini tell me what was the spell you used now!" Both Harry and Ron exclaimed.

"I didn't use any spells okay? She said yes!" Blaise said as he struggled out of their reach and went over to Hermione.

Hermione stepped in front of Blaise as Harry and Ron started walking towards Blaise again.

"Harry, Ron! Look, I want to give him this chance. If he hurts me later it will be my fault, because I know that you two tried to stop him. But for know I want this chance, and so does he."

Harry and Ron stopped, both had heard what Hermione said, Harry turned to Hermione, his emerald eyes seemed to have softened, he looked as if he was holding back words.

Ron oceanic-blue eyes had a flash of hurt, before if became anger.

"Mione…he's a Slytherin. Doesn't that tell you something?"

"Yes it does, it tells her, after she's heard what I had to say, that all Slytherins can change when they want to." Blaise answered before Hermione could say anything.

Ron looked even angrier; he glared at Blaise and turned to face Hermione, his voice deadly calm, "Fine."

Ron stormed out of the classroom, leaving Harry and Hermione looking shocked.

Harry rounded on Hermione, his emerald eyes sparkling, "Mione, I will support your decision. But just two words,"

Hermione looked up at him, "Yeah?"

"Good Luck."

Okay that's the end I suppose. Anyway, IT'S CHRISTMAS! Merry Christmas everyone!

Please r & r?

Hope you enjoyed it,
