A/N: YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST! I love all my reviewers, I would post all your names but I might forget someone…oh well, I LOVE YOU GUYS. To show you how much I L-O-V-E you, here's chapter 7

Disclaimer: oops, I forgot to post the disclaimer for a few chapters so I'm putting one in here and this will be for the rest of my story. Nothing is mine, all of it belongs to the fabulous J. K. Rowling…who sadly, is not me…

"Actually Weasley, my family's manor is considerably larger than Mora's here."

The four teenagers spun around quickly to see Blaise standing in the doorway with Draco Malfoy.

Knowing that Ron was about to verbally attack Malfoy, Hermione quickly said, "Hey Draco, what are you doing here so early?"

Ron and Harry were stunned to see Hermione act civilly with Malfoy. Ginny on the other hand, already knew that Hermione and Draco were on a first name basis.

"Well Mora, my parents are away so I'm staying here for the rest of the summer."

Chapter Seven: Old Rivalries

"WHAT?" Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all shouted together.

This time it was Blaise who spoke, "Draco is going to be staying here for the rest of the summer, he just unpacked all his stuff."

"There's no way we're letting you live in the same house as Mione," Harry said protectively.

"I can take care of myself you know Harry," Hermione said defensively. "Nothing will happen."

As she said this, Harry and Ron exchanged a look that said, "Yeah, sure you can."

"Why don't me and Blaise just give you guys the tour of the house?" Hermione continued.

"Fine, but if he tries anything, we will beat the crap out of him," Ron said.

Blaise spoke before Malfoy could retort, "Ok then, our parents," he gestured toward himself and Hermione, "Are gone doing who knows what, so we don't have to worry about accidentally meeting them. They wouldn't be too happy that Mora here, was best friends with the Weasleys and the-boy-who-whooped-old-Voldie's-ass-and-refused-to-die.

"Seeing that I never really met any of you, I'll introduce myself properly. I'm Blaise Zabini." Blaise held out his hand to Harry, who, took it very reluctantly. He turned to Ron next. Ron shot a look to Hermione, and when she nodded, he took Blaise's hand.

Blaise than turned to Ginny, who held out her hand to shake his but Blaise just took it and gave her hand a chaste kiss. Ginny blushed at the gesture and couldn't help but grin.

Draco and Hermione exchanged glances and burst out into laughter. Harry and Ron were very confused and both Ginny and Blaise were blushing.

The two teens kept laughing hysterically, clutching their sides and it took a few minutes for them to calm down. They both shared a very knowing look.

"Well," Hermione started, "Now that Blaise has gotten, um, acquainted with everyone, and since Draco already knows everyone, why don't we go play Quidditch or swim or something?"

Harry and Ron shot wary glances to Malfoy, "Why don't we swim since, I know you're afraid of heights, Mione, and than we can keep an eye on you," Harry suggested.

Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "Honestly Harry, I really can take care of myself. I'll lend Ginny one of my suits, Blaise, will you lend some to Ron and Harry?"

Blaise nodded and motioned for Harry and Ron to follow him, and the four boys left the room.

When she was sure that they were gone, Ginny said, "Hey Mione, what's the deal with you and Malfoy?"

Hermione blushed and said, "We're just friends,"

"Sure you are," Ginny replied, "Just both of you have a crush on the other."

Hermione opened her mouth to retort, but closed it again and just blushed. Ginny giggled and decided to save her friend from more embarrassment, "You don't have to confess your undying love for Malfoy now. What bathing suit should I wear?"

Ginny decided on a yellow bikini, with a skirt on the bottom and Hermione chose to wear a light blue bikini.

They decided to just head down to go swim instead of checking to see if the boys were in their suits or not.

They walked down towards the pool and Hermione quickly showed Ginny the library. Since Ginny didn't love books like Hermione, she didn't think that the room was the best thing ever, but she was still impressed.

The two girls arrived at the pool to see that they had gotten there first. They decided to tan before Harry, Ron, Draco and Blaise got there, but it only lasted a few minutes since the boys came down shortly after Hermione and Ginny.

Blaise was standing in between Harry and Ron and Draco, who were all glaring daggers at each other.

Now that they were here, Hermione and Ginny exchanged glances and at the same time, ran at the water and jumped in.

The boys could not help laughing and walk over to the side of the pool. Hermione and Ginny swam over to them, and before they knew what was happening, Ginny had grabbed Harry and Ron and Hermione had grabbed Draco and Blaise and the four boys found themselves soaking wet and under water.

They came up for air and started swimming towards the girls, starting a war that lasted for forty-five minutes. Since the teams were four vs. two, Hermione and Ginny lost pretty badly.

Somehow, Harry, Ron and Draco managed to get along, but only by speaking to each other when it was absolutely necessary and ignoring the other whenever they could.

The six teens ended up having a loads of fun and by the time it was time to go, everyone said goodbye sadly, with Hermione giving hugs to all of her friends and Blaise (once again) kissing Ginny's hand.

After Harry and the two Weasleys left, Draco, Hermione and Blaise all said quick goodnights and went off to bed.

A/N: I'm done with chapter seven-it was kind of slow but I have to wait before I can "heat things up"…don't worry the Draco/Hermione stuff will start happening soon…after all, there's a ball next week…ooohhhhhh
