Draco's POV
I was walking to the hospital wing…Tonks followed after me silently; she knew I had a lot on my mind. I have a feeling she did too…
I stopped and knocked on Blaise's door softly
"Come in." He called in a hoarse voice; I opened the door and beckoned Tonks in
"Come on Dora, its time you meet him." I said, she smiled softly and followed me in. Blaise was sitting up, looking around his room in a horrified manner.
"Blaise? Something wrong?" I asked, looking around the room, seeing nothing wrong. Blaise's eye twitched
"The flowers." He stated in a stealthy manner, as if he talked too loud the daisies would attack. I looked at them and smiled
"My, they do brighten up the room." I stated pleasantly, Tonks smiled and nodded
"They're beautiful." She agreed, Blaise stared at us horrified
"Draco…you're a woman." He whispered, I blinked and chuckled
"Thanks Blaise, I appreciate the compliment." I said sarcastically, flopping down in the chair next to his bed. The daisies were everywhere, on every surface, even some floating in the air.
"I…It wasn't a compliment Draco." He replied, surveying me closely, as if I would run around in a frilly pink apron demanding he get off his arse and do some yard work at any moment. I scoffed
"I was kidding you git, they're scaring the shite out of me." I muttered, eying one lone daisy that was hovering suspiciously close to my head. Tonks laughed and shook her head
"I disagree; I really do think they're lovely." She stated proudly, changing her hair to the approximate yellow of the daisies. I gaped at her
"Dora…you frighten me."
"The feeling is completely mutual Draco dear." She smirked, I blinked…I think I have been hanging out with her too much. Blaise looked at Tonks in a confused manner
"Draco…who is the woman with the daisy hair?" He asked out of the corner of his mouth, Tonks blinked and looked at him in a proud manner
"She's er…my cousin, Nymphadora Tonks." I said in a weary manner
"Cousin? You never mentioned a Nymphadora." Blaise asked, looking even more confused, Tonks sighed
"One, I am technically his great aunt's brother's daughter's brother's mother-in-law's niece on her father's side. Cousin is just easier to say. Two, if you ever call me Nymphadora again I will maim you." She said with a sweet smile, I laughed as Blaise grinned
"I like you lady. Blaise Zabini." He stated, sticking out his hand, Tonks laughed and shook his hand, he looked down at her Hogwarts ring and smirked
"Slytherin?" he asked, perking an eyebrow
"Gryffindor." She stated, smirking slightly at his surprise
"Eh? Really? A few days ago I might've called you a liar…but…they aren't so bad…" Blaise stated thoughtfully, looking out the window with a slightly dreamy look, I snickered and turned to Tonks, who had an eyebrow perked with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
'Who?' She mouthed to me, I smirked wider and shrugged, she knew I was lying…But I wasn't sure…and I didn't want Dora to let something slip…
Blaise shook his head and turned back to us with a smile…not a smirk…a smile. I had only seen Blaise smile once before…when his abusive step-father died. His smile disappeared as soon as it appeared; I sighed and looked over as Madam Pomfrey entered the room with a huge shaggy black dog. I blinked
"Madam Pomfrey?" I asked, she followed my gaze as it landed on the dog
"It's Blaise's guard Draco dear…as soon as Blaise is dressed, he is free to leave." She stated, I blinked and nodded, looking at Blaise. He looked a little miffed that he had no clue what was going on. So…I explained everything to him.
He looked at the dog, which was sitting at the end of the bed in a very smug way and blinked
"Dumbledore sent a ruddy mutt to protect me?"
