Iris Chapter 15, a harry potter fanfic

"Princess can we talk?" he asked, sitting beside me in the library.

"What is there to talk about?" I asked bitterly.

"Princess-" he said, but at that moment he got cut off.

"Hermione, Weasley," Blaise said quietly. "Maybe I shouldn't have said it like that, it sounds wrong."

"What are you doing here, Zabini?" Ron asked angrily, standing up.

"Ron! Not in the library!" I hissed, glaring at him.

"I just came to visit my girlfriend," Blaise said, slightly shrugging. "She told me to wait for her here. What are you doing here?"

"Ron's in the Auror program," I said quickly before Ron could say something nasty. I gathered up my books. "I'm going, I have a class."

"You don't have a class until later this afternoon," Ron said, looking at me suspiciously.

Before I could stop myself, I said "Well maybe I want to get away from you too," walking away without a backwards glance.

I had made it outside, walking across the quad to Siesta, when someone caught up to me.

"Daphne's going to be there soon, you had better get back," I said quietly.

"Daphne isn't going to be there until later, I just came early." He said, looking at me.

I know it's been some time
but there's something on my mind
You see
I haven't been the same since that cold November day.
We said we needed space
but all we found was an empty place
And the only things I learned is that I need you desperately.
So here I am and can you please tell me

We had reached Siesta, which for some reason could calm me down better than the school's library.

"Good morning, one tazón de fuente grande de frutas please, and?" I looked at him questioningly. "What would you like?"

"Do they have coffee?" he asked.

"And here I thought you had gotten over that coffee addiction," I said, half-smiling. "And one café español," I told the smiling girl.

"It's got Tia Maria, rum and whipped cream," I explained.

We sat down at one of the corner tables, people watching.

"So, what made you so mad at Weasley that you stormed out of your sacred haven?" he smirked.

I rolled my eyes.

Where do broken hearts go
can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes and I know that you still care for me.

"He thought.. he thought I was flirting with someone else," I said, playing with a paper napkin.

"Oh?" he asked, eyebrows arched. "And what really happened?"

"We were discussing schoolwork, and I laughed at something funny he said," I sighed.

"Did you tell him that?" he asked, taking my hand and carelessly throwing the paper napkin aside.

I stared at our joined hands, then looked at him questioningly.

I've been around enough to know that dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way

No you just can't run away.
And what we had was so much more than we ever had before
And no matter how I try, I can't get you off my mind.
So here I am and can you please tell me

He shrugged. "Well?"

"Yes," I said. "Things didn't turn out well though, and I'd rather not talk about it."

He nodded, and let go of my hand as his coffee and my fruit salad arrived.

"How's Daphne?" I asked him tentatively as he drank his coffee.

"She's doing well," he said, a proud smile coming to his face. "She's like you, you know. Very studious and quiet."

"I'm sorry, but how could you think I'm quiet?" I asked, brow furrowing.

"You're quiet when it comes to the things that matter."

Now what was that supposed to mean?

Why don't you ask him?

"Now what was that supposed to mean?" I asked him, my mango-impaled fork midway to my mouth.

"You didn't tell me what happened between you and Draco," he said, looking away.

"He flirted with me, I let him." I said. "Why are you so interested? It shouldn't matter, you have a lovely, smart, rich and pureblood girlfriend."

"One, I don't care if she's pureblood or not. Two, you're right; I shouldn't bother. But I.."

You what?

"Never mind," he muttered, standing up.

And now that I am here with you I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes and now I know
now I know:

Where do broken hearts go
can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
won't they always love you?
I looked in your eyes and I know that you still care for me.
for me
yeah
yeah
yeah!

"Thanks for the company," he said. "I'll take care of the bill. I hope things work out between you and Weasley."

"Blaise-" was all I could say as he walked away.

After that episode in the café, I felt better, if not confused. Why did he go out of his way to talk to me? I felt much better after talking to him though, and I was able to fully concentrate on my studies with renewed fervor.

I would run into Ron sometimes in the halls- he would try to talk to me, but there would always be something preventing us from actually talking.

One night that week, I was sitting in the garden outside our dormitory when Ron approached me.

"How'd you know I was here?" I asked him curiously.

"Faye told me you were down here." He said tiredly, sitting down beside me.

I looked at him. It looked like he hadn't been sleeping for days. His clothes were all wrinkled and his hair tousled, resembling Harry's.

"What happened to you?" I sadly asked, running my hand through his hair. He moved closer and took both my hands.

"I'm sorry.. I'm so, so sorry for what I said and did.."

"It's alright.." I sighed, hugging him. We just sat like that for a long time, just hugging and listening to each other breathe.

"I got so jealous that it was ridiculous," he muttered.

"I should have known you would be the extremely jealous type," I smiled, shaking my head. "I deeply resent the other comment though, where you implied something."

He looked up at me.

"I'm sorry for saying that to you," he said, looking at me. "I didn't mean it, and I was spurred on by what happened. I don't even know why I said it, now it's ranked as one of the most foolish.."

"You're rambling," I said, smiling at him. "I already forgave you."

He leaned in to kiss me, tentatively cupping my chin with his right hand while his left arm snaked around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

We were okay now, but would we always be like this?

I'm having mixed feelings about this chapter.. I'm happy Blaise is back (Whee!! Finally!!:D); but I'm also a bit blue because the end is nearing.. and again, the ending (while it isn't as sad as Lovefool) won't be what you expect it to be.:( I was thinking again, and I thought the best things come in threes, so please bear with me when I say I want to make one more story, and that's it for them.:P But Iris's ending is pretty good, so I'll just post that and leave it up to you to decide if I should go ahead with the last story or just leave it the way it is.XD Needless to say, I am completely psycho.:P
