Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters...JK Rowling does
From the last chap:
Draco smirked, "So this "Rolinda Wen" is stalking you eh?" he taunted. Blaise glared at him.
"Shut the hell up! She's almost like a mini copy of Pansy" he groaned. Draco chuckled. Just then the Great Hall's door's swung open and slammed into the wall violently and in walked…
Chapter 6
In walked in a fuming….Pansy Parkinson. Blaise sighed in relief, while Draco grimaced a bit.
'At least its not that Wen girl' Blaise thought with a smirk.
The two friends sat there, watching what Pansy was going to do next. She headed straight for them. They both groaned.
When she got there, she saw the two sulking boys and raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, what happened to you guys?" she asked, very calmly. Both Draco and Blaise were shocked. No shrieking? This is a good sign…sort of.
"Uh, nothing, Parkinson" said Blaise, since he was the first to recover from the shock. Pansy rolled her eyes.
"Oh, please Blaisey! I know something is wrong…what's with the look on Drake's face?" she asked.
"I'm fine Pansy" Draco replied. Pansy shrugged. Blaise was curious.
"So…Parkinson, why the 'great' entrance?" he asked sarcastically.
"Ugh!" Pansy scoffed, "You do NOT want to know!" she exclaimed.
"Come on, Parkinson. Why can't you tell us?" Blaise asked. Pansy sighed.
"Alright, I'll tell you" she said finally. Blaise's smirk grew bigger. "Ok, Parkinson, then shoot" he said.
Pansy took a big breath and then said, "I was like on my way here, you know? Well anyways, while walking, McGonagall stopped me and lectured to me about whatever the hell she was talking about! I guess that greasy haired git told her what happened in the classroom!" She practically yelled.
"I swear! She should've gone after that Weasel guy and that Lavender…whatever girl" she finished. Blaise nodded.
"Hmm" he said thoughtfully, "I wonder why she stopped you for just a hug…? He drifted off. Pansy's eyes widened.
"You don't think its because he's a Gryffindor and I'm a Slytherin do you?" she asked. Blaise blinked.
"Uh…" he said.
"That's possible I suppose" Draco suddenly said out of the blue. Pansy nodded, and then left when one of her friends called her.
'Wow, no more hugging? Is something wrong with her?' Draco thought and then inwardly laughed at himself, 'Hmm, I guess my arm isn't going to be purple for that long anymore' he thought, smirking in relief and then looked down to his right arm. It was sort of reddish, but not purple, that's for sure.
---Hermione---
She sat there, watching Ron babble to himself about how stupid he was. She had to stifle a giggle. It was too funny.
"Oh!" Ginny suddenly said, "Hey, you guys, I have to go for a bit okay? My boyfriend is calling me over" she said and then stood up to hug everyone. When she hugged Ron, he didn't even notice. She then walked out of the Great Hall hand in hand with her boyfriend.
Harry turned to Hermione, "Hey, 'mione" he said nervously.
Hermione looked at Harry, "Yes Harry?"
"Uh, um…well" He started out. Hermione smiled at him.
"What is it Harry? You can tell me." she said gently. Harry scratched his head.
"Um, do you…do you think its weird for a Slytherin and Gryffindor to be friends?" he asked. Hermione was confused.
"What are you talking about Harry?" she asked. Harry turned red with embarrassment.
"Y-you know what? Forget what I just said" he said quickly.
"Oh, come on Harry. You can tell me. I won't laugh or anything." Hermione replied, "You know you can tell me anything and I won't tell another soul" she said. Harry sighed in defeat.
"Alright" he said. Hermione grinned.
"I was just wondering, because…me and Parkinson have decided that we would be friends" Hermione's eyes widened at this, "Um, because we're going to be partnered up for everything because of this project" he finished quickly.
Hermione took a moment to answer. Harry was worried now. What would she think of him now? A traitor? A scum?
"Wow, Harry." she finally answered still sort of speechless, "I think that's great Harry." she then said smiling.
"Are you sure? Is that the truth 'mione?" he asked, still worried.
"Of course Harry. That's a good idea anyways" she said.
Harry sighed in relief. "Thank you 'mione" he said sincerely. Hermione just grinned at him. Just then the Great Hall's doors opened with a slam that was similar to the one before today and Ginny ran in with tears running down her cheek.
She ran all the way to where Harry and Hermione were and then collapsed to the ground with sobs. Probably everyone was looking at them now, since the whole room was dead quiet.
Hermione got up from her seat and kneeled by Ginny.
"Hey, Gin what's wrong?" she asked concerned for her red head friend.
Ginny just sobbed louder. "Come on Ginny. Lets go outside." she said and helped Ginny up. She hugged Harry and Ron, who was still in his own little land, and walked outside the Great Hall. She led Ginny to the place by the lake and the two of them sat down.
"Gin, are you okay now?" Hermione asked softly. Ginny nodded and sniffled.
"What happened?" She asked curious and concerned.
Ginny took a deep breath, "He….he…" she managed to say before crying her heart out. 'What happened to Ginny that made her this upset?' Hermione wondered.
"Can you tell me?" she tried. Ginny nodded meekly at her.
"He……he…….br-" Ginny started.
"He what?" Hermione asked.
"………Broke up…..with me" Ginny said, wiping away the tears. Hermione was speechless.
"W-what? Why?" she asked.
Ginny sighed sadly, "He said that…he wanted a break from us…and…that he liked this one other girl." she said, trying not to break down again, " He said that, she asked him out, and that he was going to say 'yes' and told me he was sorry but he didn't sound like he was" she said sadly.
"Oh, Ginny, I'm sorry" Hermione said and then hugged Ginny.
"He was a git anyways" Ginny said, "He always looked at other girls when we were going out, but I thought that he could change." she laughed dryly, "I'm so stupid" she said. Hermione shook her head.
"No, Gin. You are not stupid. He's the stupid one." Hermione said firmly. Ginny nodded weakly and sighed.
"Ginny, you'll find another guy, a better guy. Trust me" Hermione said comfortingly. That managed to make Ginny feel a bit better. Ginny then thought of Blaise Zabini. She blushed.
Hermione saw Ginny blush and wondered why. She thought for a moment and then grinned.
"So, Ginny, why the blush?" She asked tauntingly. Ginny's eyes widened and she turned even more red.
"O-oh nothing 'mione!" she answered quickly.
"Uh huh, right" Hermione said sarcastically, "Ginny, were you thinking of a guy?" she asked curious. Ginny shook her head.
"No, its nothing. I was just thinking of something in the past" she said, hoping it would end this conversation. But Hermione wasn't going to give up that easily.
"Oh, gosh Ginny! You're just like Ron, honestly" she exclaimed.
"I am not like that idiot brother of mine!" Ginny said trying to be calm.
"Okay Gin, I won't ask anymore. You can tell me later if you want" Hermione said.
"Thanks 'mione. I'm sorry, I just don't know if I really do like this guy or not for sure." she said truthfully. Hermione nodded understandingly.
"Alright, I think we should get back before Ron gets out of la la land and finds out that you're gone." Hermione said before they both burst out laughing.
They both stood up and walked back up the stairs and kept on going to the Great Hall.
---With Draco---
"Yo, what was that all about" Blaise said, talking about the scene that happened a few minutes ago.
Draco shrugged, "Who knows." he said.
Pansy then said, "Merlin. I know how she feels" she said dramatically. Draco and Blaise rolled their eyes.
"And what is it that she's feeling right now Parkinson?" Blaise asked. Pansy rolled her eyes at the two boys.
"Oh, honestly. Do you two know nothing about girls?" she asked. The two boys shook their heads. Pansy sighed.
"She probably got dumped by that idiot…what's his face" she said, stating the obvious. Draco and Blaise took in this information.
"Oh" they both said.
"Oh and there is the bastard himself" Pansy said scowling and glaring at the boy who just walked in the doors of the Great Hall.
"Pansy, why do you feel sorry for the mini Weasel?" Draco asked, still confused.
"Merlin Draco! You still don't get it?" she exclaimed. Draco shook his head slowly.
"Damn! I told you before, it's a girl thing. Even if she is in a different house than us, she's still a girl" Pansy said tiredly. Draco nodded.
"So, you're saying that….even if she's not in Slytherin….well you lost me there." Blaise admitted. Pansy glared at them.
"I am so wasting my time!" she shouted and walked back to her friends in a huff and not bothering to give them a hug goodbye.
Blaise and Draco exchanged confused looks. "What was Parkinson talking about?" Blaise wondered.
Draco shrugged, "Who knows and who cares. Its not like we're going to remember anyways." he said with a smirk. Blaise started smirking also.
"You know, I think I like this new 'personality' of Parkinson" Draco said and took a piece of bacon onto his plate. Blaise stared at him, confused.
"What do you mean Drake?" Blaise asked.
Draco gulped down his food, "Well, she hasn't hugged me, well my arm all evening." he said simply.
Blaise nodded, "You don't sound all to happy Malfoy" he joked.
"Don't even joke about that Zabini. I just wonder why she isn't though." Draco said annoyed. Blaise raised an eyebrow at the Slytherin boy.
"Don't have to bite my head off Draco. Sheesh" Blaise said, smirking. Draco just glared at him.
"Shut up"
Blaise laughed.
"I mean it Blaise" Draco warned. Blaise still smirked but said nothing.
"Or else, I'm going to find this, Rolinda Wen person and send her to you." Draco finished with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Shit no!" Blaise yelled, "You better fucking not!" he exclaimed. Draco laughed.
"Chill, Zabini, I was just joking." Draco said.
"Don't joke about something like that." Blaise said dangerously. Draco rolled his eyes.
"How in the world did she ever want to be stalking you, eh Blaise" Draco taunted.
"You don't even want to know." Blaise growled.
"Well actually, it sounds interesting. Go on, tell your story" Draco said.
Blaise sighed, "Alright, just don't do anything stupid" he said. Draco nodded his head but then realized what Blaise had just said.
"What the hell Zabini" he said. Blaise chuckled and then cleared his throat.
Flashback
Blaise was walking towards the common room and was sighing. 'my head hurts like hell and I don't even know why' he thought dryly. When he got close to the portrait door, he sighed with relief.
'Good, this way, I don't have to run into anybody and have to talk with them.' he thought.
When he was about five feet range from the portrait door, something that he didn't want to happen right now, happened.
A girl, in which he guessed who was sixth year girl, ran into him and he was caught out of balance. They both fell to the floor. For Blaise, sadly, he hit his head.
He sat up and rubbed his temples and groaned. He turned towards the person that ran into him. The girl was sitting up groggily and then shook her head and looked around.
She had dirty blonde hair with some black streaks throughout her whole head. Her face was heart shaped and was kind of attractive, Blaise admitted to himself, but what he didn't like was that she had too much make up. To him, she looked like a clown.
'Damn, this girl is even worser than Parkinson. Is this girl trying out for the circus or something?' he wondered. The girl finally noticed him and blushed deeply and averted her eyes.
"I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't know that y-you were s-standing there." she stammered and blushed even more. Blaise smirked.
"Um, just wondering," he started, "What were you doing?" he asked. Her face was now a bright red, it was surprising that her blush was noticeable through that thick layer of make up that she had on.
"O-oh, w-well you see, m-my friends w-were just j-joking around a-and then t-they g-got too c-carried away and well" she stammered even more.
"And what?" Blaise pressed on.
"Uh, w-well they were t-throwing stuff, w-well, t-things that w-were mine and o-one thing fell over here, so I went to g-get it…but, r-ran into you. I-I'm so sorry." she stuttered.
"Eh, Its ok, so what's your name?" Blaise asked curiously. The girl turned tomato red, and it reminded him of that, uh, Roland, or whatever his name was, Weasel guy.
"I-its, Rolinda, Rolinda Wen." She said smiling, "How about yours?" she asked curiously.
"Blaise Zabini" he answered simply. Rolinda nodded. 'Hmm, Rolinda Zabini, don't sound bad' she thought happily.
"Well, uh, Rolinda?" she nodded, "Oh, ok, Rolinda, I have to go right now, so later" Blaise said and stood up and walked towards the portrait door.
Rolinda sighed and waved at him. She then picked up her fallen book and stood up also and went the other direction, thinking of Blaise Zabini.
Blaise whispered the password and went through. Several people were in the common room but he paid no attention. He just went straight to his room and fell down onto his bed and slept.
End Flashback
"After that, she kept following me every time she sees me." Blaise said sadly. Draco had to stifle his laughter.
"Oh, Merlin Blaise, so did she really look like a clown?" Draco wondered.
"Oh, yeah. It was really uncomfortable." Blaise grimaced. Draco laughed.
"Wow, Zabini, do I feel sorry for you." Draco said, still laughing. Blaise just glared at him.
---With Hermione---
She was walking with a still sniffling Ginny. She turned her head to the red head girl.
"Hey, Gin, are you going to be okay?" Hermione asked, worried for her friend. Ginny looked up at Hermione and smiled.
"Yeah, thanks 'mione. If it wasn't for you, I would have been in the Great Hall floor, crying hysterically and making a fool of myself. Thank you 'mione for cheering me up." Ginny meekly said, but sincerely.
Hermione nodded and smiled.
"It was no problem, Gin. Besides, what are best friends for?" Hermione said.
"I thought that Harry and Ron were your best friends 'mione" Ginny said confusingly.
"Well, what they don't know, won't hurt them" Hermione said with a wink. Ginny laughed.
"Well, thank you for being such a great best friend!" Ginny said grinning like an idiot.
"Hey, lets go back before that thick headed brother of mine realizes that he was off in la la land" Ginny joked. They both started laughing again and started walking towards the Great Hall again.
When they got there, Hermione could see Ginny shaking nervously.
"Gin, are you okay?" she asked with concern. Ginny turned to look at the older Gryffindor girl.
"Y-yeah. I'll be fine, don't worry 'mione." Ginny said and then pushed open the doors. The two girls walked in with everyone staring at them. They reached the Gryffindor table and sat down at their regular seats.
Unfortunately for Ginny, Ron has gotten out of his 'la la land' way before since she had gotten in the Great Hall.(A/N: Uh, did this make any sense? Lol)
"Where the bloody hell have you been Ginny!" he demanded. Ginny suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and slap him upside on the head.
"I was outside, Ronald" She answered.
Ron glared at his younger sibling, "Ginny! You tell me right now why the bloody hell you were crying!" he said, irritated.
Ginny turned to Harry, who was finding his plate to be oh so interesting. She glared at him. Then, she turned back to her brother.
"What are you talking about, Ronald?" she asked inspecting her fingernails.
Ron glared at her even more, "You know very well what the hell I'm talking about! Harry, here," Harry was shaking his head but no use, "told me that you ran in here, bawling your eyes out and then run outside" he finished, and was expecting an answer.
Ginny rolled her eyes, "I don't have to explain myself to you Ronald." she said stubbornly and crossed her arms across her chest.
"Well, I AM YOUR BROTHER! You have to tell me!" he yelled. Ginny rolled her eyes again.
"Whatever Ron. Goodbye, 'mione, Harry." she said and stalked out of the Great Hall.
"HEY! DON'T YOU GO WALKING AWAY FROM ME!" Ron bellowed.
"Ron, just let it go." Hermione said tiredly. Ron turned to her and glared at her. She gave him a questioning look.
"And, you, 'mione, why were you gone?" Ron asked. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Why do I have to tell you, Ronald?" she asked back.
'Because," Ron started.
"Because what, Ronald?"
"Will you stop calling me that?"
"Calling you what? Eh, Ronald?"
"STOP IT!"
"Hmm, let me think about that, okay Ronald?" she pretended to have a thoughtful look, and then said, "Nah, I'll pass, Ronald"
Ron fumed, "Why does everyone call me that!" He demanded angrily. Hermione grinned.
"Ron, just let it go." Harry said, rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, Ronald, chill." Hermione said with an evil smile, "I think I'm going to go to sleep now, Bye Harry, Ron" she said and then stood up and hugged and kissed each of the boy's cheeks before going.
---Ron and Harry---
"So, mate, why so mad?" Harry asked. Ron glared at his plate.
"Nothing" he snapped.
"Merlin, okay, I won't ask anymore" Harry said. Ron sighed.
"No, sorry mate." he said.
Harry smiled, "Its alright, Ron"
"Thank you!"
"For what?" Harry asked confused.
"For not calling me by my full name" Ron explained.
"Oh, your welcome." Harry said, laughing a little bit.
"Yeah" Ron replied.
Harry cleared his throat, "So, Ron, you and Lav are together now eh?" Harry teased with a smirk. Ron turned red.
"Yeah….well what about you Harry? You and Parkinson seem to be on friendly terms" Ron said.
Harry nodded, "Yup. We agreed to be friends for the sake of the project…whatever the hell it may be" Harry said. Ron nodded.
"That's smart, Harry. Good thinking" Ron implied.
"Uh, it wasn't my idea…" Harry said drifting off. Ron stared at him confusingly.
"You didn't? Don't tell me.." Ron said.
Harry sighed, "Yeah, its true, Ron, Pansy did think of it first" Harry said smiling. Ron observed his friend.
"Harry, you don't actually like Parkinson, do you?" Ron asked carefully.
Harry shook his head, "Ron, come on, we've only agreed to do this just today, how could I like her?" he asked. Ron shrugged.
"I don't know mate. All I know is, anything can happen." Ron said, smartly.
"Hmm…okay Ron." Harry said, thinking of what Ron had said.
---With Hermione---
She walked down the hall shaking her head. 'Merlin! Ron is so protective!' she thought. Then she got to the portrait.
"Good evening Hermione!" Jenna exclaimed with a huge smile on her face. Hermione smiled.
"Good evening you two." she replied. Jenna's smile widened.
"Password!" Jenna chirped.
"Sunlilies"
The portrait door swished open and she was about to walk through, when suddenly someone bumped into her, making her fall to the floor.
"Owww" Hermione moaned.
"Uh….sorry about that, Granger" came the familiar voice of Draco Malfoy.
Hermione was confused, 'Did I just hear Malfoy apologize? I guess I'm losing my mind, just like everyone else' she thought and held the urge to roll her eyes at her stupidity/
"…..Its okay, Malfoy. But why were you rushing through the door?" she asked, hesitantly. Draco sighed.
"Well…..nothing, Granger" He replied with the trademark smirk of his. Hermione rolled her eyes. She tried to get up but winced. She mentally cursed to herself.
Draco looked down at her, and saw that she was in pain and rolled his eyes.
He sighed and then looked down at her, "Are you okay, Granger?" he drawled, sarcastically.
She glared at him coldly, "No, thanks to you." she retorted irritated. He smirked at her.
"You're very welcome, mudblood." Draco said very sarcastically. Hermione glared at him.
'Ugh, wouldn't I love to slap that smirk off his face!" she thought, clenching her fists. She sat there, on the ground, with her arms crossed across her chest and pouting.
Draco rolled his eyes, but after a while, he held a hand out to help her. Hermione was surprised. Hesitating, she took his hand and then he pulled her up. She was about to thank him, but he let go of her hand and started walking in the direction he was heading towards before he crashed into her.
He turned his head around and called to her, smirking, "You're welcome, Granger, but don't expect me to help you ever again."
Hermione fumed. 'The nerve!' she thought angrily. She sighed deeply and then made her way to her room, where her homework awaited her.
