Chapter 3 - Hundreds
Blaise stormed down the corridors in search of Draco, his bad mood increasing with each and every angry step that he took. Blaise didn't understand how Pansy, couldn't see that Draco didn't really care about her. Draco was just dating her to stop his parents from giving him grief, he was just using her. She was his protection.
He eventually found Draco after searching for him for quite some time. Draco was hanging out in the courtyard with Crabbe and Goyle, terrifying first years when he spotted them. He sauntered up to them with his hands in his pockets. Draco instantly signalled to Crabbe to drop the Ravenclaw first year that he was currently torturing, Crabbe immediately obeyed and the Ravenclaw first year scurried away not looking back.
"What's up with you?" Draco asked him picking up on his friend's bad mood.
Blaise sighed then shrugged. "It's nothing," he said. Draco shook his head then turned his attention to other matters.
Instantly Draco struck up a conversation about quidditch and Blaise stayed with his friends but he did not pay any attention or participate in their conversation as he would normally do. The argument with Pansy was playing heavily on his mind. He did not fail to notice however, the attention that the girls in the courtyard were paying him as they whispered and giggled about him in their little groups.
Blaise had grown used to the attention that girls showed him and he usually revelled in it, flirting back even teasing them occasionally. Despite the fact that he was a Slytherin, a pureblood and had a bad reputation concerning girls, it did not change the fact that they were drawn to him like a moth towards a flame. The chase didn't hold the same thrill and excitement any longer. It didn't matter anymore, it hadn't mattered at all for some time.
He didn't care if hundreds of girls crossed his path today and tried to draw his attention, it wouldn't work. He only wanted the attention of one girl and for the time being she was unattainable. Normally Blaise wouldn't let a small detail like the fact that a girl had a boyfriend stop him from chasing and eventually getting the girl. Sometimes it even added more excitement to the chase but it was different this time. It was different this time as Pansy wasn't just any girl, she was unique and he cared about her but she was Draco's girl. For that reason alone she was forbidden to him.
