Disclaimer: I don't own anything

AN I'm so sorry I completely spaced on updating! I've had an absolutely ridiculous week, I mean really, RIDICULOUS! But the good news is that on my interim reports my lowest grade was 85! I did so well I almost went back to question my teachers sanity! Anywho on with the story, I hope you guys all forgive me for being late! I also decided to prevent furthur rushing into the writing of this story every update day will be Sunday.

Chapter Seven - Friends Forever

"Blaise?" Hermione entered Blaise's bedroom as they were all preparing for bed.

"Yeah Hermione? What's up?" Blaise looked up from the book he had been reading in bed.

"Umm, I had a thought earlier, that, umm, maybe I could invite Harry and Ron down here for a couple days? I want to fill them in on the happenings in person and it's not like I'm inviting them for a long while, just a little while and the wouldn't even have to stay in the house, I'm sure they'd be cool with a tent or even a nice tree to sleep under and-"

"Hermione, you're babbling!" Blaise laughed as he touched her arm as he slid out of bed and walked towards his desk. He removed some parchment and a quill.

"What are you doing?"

"I am writing a letter to your friends inviting them to stay at the Zabini manor for as long as they wish to visit their dear friend Hermione who has some important news to tell them."

"Wow! That's really sweet of you Blaise! Ha-ha, maybe this way they won't flip out at you and Draco when they get here! 'Cause believe you me they are probably going to throw a couple fits to think that precious bookworm Granger is fraternizing with the enemy!" She continued to laugh when Blaise only plastered a small little smirk on his face.

"Fraternizing with the enemy eh? When do I get to see some of that?"

Hermione looked shocked and blushed slightly before recovering her composure. She waltzed closer to him and spoke softly near his ear.

"Whenever you find the balls to come and get it."

With that she strolled out of Blaise's room. He was simply dumbfounded, Hogwarts' top student kept throwing surprises his way and he wasn't entirely sure how to deal with her. He figured it was time for a little queer eye for the strait guy. He needed Draco for some advice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

He knocked quickly on Draco's bedroom door, he heard a little bit of scuffling and a drawer bang shut.

"Come in!" He heard the boy yell.

Blaise entered the room, peeking his head in, "Sounds like you just pushed some poor bloke into your side table! Haha"

Surprisingly Draco blushed, "Umm, not quite, but I was writing to one, if you must know." Draco looked slightly guilty as he looked up at his friend.

"Hey man, you send can love letters to all the blokes you want! You'll always be my brother so as long as I don't get any 'I love yous' in the mail you won't get your ass kicked!" he joked lightly with his long time friend.

"Good to know! Haha, anyways what brings you to my humble abode this evening my good friend?"

"Your cousin actually, I think she's sending me signals or something, but I can't be sure. And I hope you don't mind me saying but she's beautiful, I would say hot but that just doesn't seem to fit her, beautiful that's it. And I really think I'm falling for her a bit and-"

Draco cut him off.

"Blaise, you've come to the right bloke, I have just the thing for you to clear up that mess of confusion in your head!"

"What, what is it?"

"She likes you too" Draco flashed his friend a knowing smirk.

"Wow, are you sure?"

"Look at me, of course I'm sure, she's my cousin I've got inside information, doesn't mean I'm going to tell you anything she said but I can assure you that if you make a move you probably won't be rejected."

Blaise took a moment and smiled to himself and then suddenly his face turned into a somewhat of a confused frown.

"Who were you writing to?"

"It's umm, sort of a secret, for now anyways…." Draco spoke tentatively

"Oh come on! I told you who I fancy! Give me the low down as the Americans say!"

"Fine, but you have to promise me you won't tell Hermione till the time's right?"

"Sure Draco, just tell me who I have to threaten"

"You'll do nothing of the sort! He's not to be messed with!" Draco said angrily before seeing the amused look on his friends face. "I've been seeing him since May, he's been through shit like me and he's some one I see eye to eye with, just don't flip when I tell you who it is."

"Alright no flipping out and no mentioning of him to Lucius, that's one person who neither of us can afford to have discover our relationship."

"Don't worry man, you've known me forever and I know your family, if there's anyone you two can trust it's me, I know very well what's at stake."

"Harry." Draco whispered quickly and quietly.

"As in Potter!" Blaise spoke a little too loud for Draco's liking and he slapped a hand over his friend's mouth.

"shhh!"

"Sorry," Blaise mumbled through Draco's hand.

"Yes as in Potter, just remember keep quiet about it, especially from Hermione, Harry wants us to tell her when he gets here,"

"Your secrets safe with me, but wow, you're shagging the boy who lived….that's impressive!" Blaise smiled broadly and Draco simply laughed aloud,

"Yeah I suppose I am and even though you probably don't want to hear this but I think I should say it anyways, just because I'm 'shagging' the boy who lived doesn't mean that is all our relationship is about. We actually have something Blaise, and whatever that is I'm not even sure, but it's amazing, I can't seem to get enough of him, his conversation, his little quirks, his presence, his co-"

"Okay, I've heard enough! I'm glad you're happy Draco, and you're welcome to tell me things about your guys relationship, but how about we keep the very personal just that personal and not to be spoken about…."

Draco simply laughed, "Don't worry Blaise, I won't be sharing mine and Harry's bedtime stories anytime soon, Normally I wouldn't give two shits but Harry is a very private person, doesn't like the spotlight. Who would have thought that the boy who lived were shy" He chuckled "God Blaise, I think I;ve fallen in love with him."

This sudden revelation stopped Blaise in his tracks.

"Really?"

"Yeah." Draco said softly as he looked towards the drawer that contained his letter.

"Well, it's getting late and I'll let you get back to writing you letter."

Before Blaise left Draco's room he turned around and said "I'm happy for you, know that Draco, friends forever."

"friends forever" Draco replied.
