Happy Holidays!

"I'm glad we heard the door opening!" Blaise said with a sight of relief after Draco had closed the door to the boys dormitory.

"I know, it wouldn't have been good to get caught." Hermione said leaning against him, he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her a bit closer.

"I don't think they're ready for news like this one just yet." Blaise said and Hermione turned in his arms so that she had her head beside his instead of resting on his shoulder.

Smiling Blaise said "No, probably not" Hermione returned the smile and he moved closer to capture her lips with his. Their kiss was synchronized, their lips massaging one another, then their mouths opening to grant access to each others tongue, nibbling on each others lips and then caressing it with their tongue to make it better, then their tongue swirling lazy circles around each other. A sound was heard and they broke the kiss off quickly and separated from each other to how they had been when Draco came in, only sitting beside each other.

"What was that?" Hermione asked a little scared. "Do you think Draco is about to go to the prefects dorm now?"

"I'm not sure, but let me take you to your dorm just in case." Blaise said standing up and putting his hands out to help Hermione up. She put her hands in his and he pulled her up quickly and swiftly. They were very close now because of how fast Hermione had come up when Blaise pulled her. They were looking into each others eyes with smiles.

Hermione lifted herself a little on tip toes so she could kiss Blaise. Her lips touched his and the second after her arms were around his neck and his were holding her close to him like a hug. Hermione laughed as she was kissing him which made him laugh. They started kissing a bit more passionately, they were just barely opening their mouths as they caressed and sucked softly on each others lips when Hermione broke out laughing separating her mouth from his and putting her head on his shoulder.

"I think I'll just take you now." Blaise said while laughing as well.

But they still didn't know where the noise had come from. It had been Jonathan a Slytherin classmate of theirs, he had wakened to get some water and when he came out he saw them kissing. He was still very sleepy so he accidentally kicked the book case and he fell to the floor from the pain.

"Oh gosh, Jonathan! Are you ok?" Blaise asked when he came back from taking Hermione to her dorm room. He kneeled beside the boy and made the guy look at him.

"Ouch!" Was all Blaise got in reply from Jonathan, it was even whispered.

"Come on buddy let me get Draco and we'll carry you to the infirmary." Blaise said, then took off to find Draco in Blaise's room with Crab and Goyle. "Draco, wake up I need you to help me take Jonathan to the infirmary, he hit the book case and fell." Blaise said shaking Draco who had fallen asleep on Blaise's bed. Reluctantly he woke up and followed Blaise to where Jonathan was. Together they carried him to the infirmary.

"I'm thankful that you two brought him here when you did. He broke his cheek bone and his toes. Do you know if he hit something with his face before he hit the floor?" The nurse asked after she looked at Jonathan and gave him something for the pain.

"I'm not really sure but there is an end table close to where he fell, he might have hit it before he hit the floor. I only heard when he hit the floor I was asleep before that." Blaise informed the nurse.

"Ok, thank you. I will take care of him. He should be fine and back to normal within then next 48 hours." The nurse said subtly asking them to leave.

"Ok thank you, we'll come check on him tomorrow after all our classes." Blaise said and the nurse nodded, then he and Draco left.

When they were far from the infirmary Draco looked at Blasie.

"Sleeping?" he asked.

Blaise looked at him seriously before he answered. "Yes, I was sleeping…" Blaise said with a straight face and Draco just looked away.

"Ok, what ever you say Blaise" Draco said. They stayed in silence until they reached the Slytherin dorm room.

"Good night!" they said to each other as they parted ways. Draco walked a little bit father and went to the perfects dorm.

"Good morning!" Blaise and Draco said to all the other students in the common room the following morning as they prepared to go off for their next day of school; Draco had come to get Blaise and talk to him about his 'sleeping' the previous night. They received good morning's and head nods in reply. They walked out and were heading to where their normal meeting with the girls was.

"Sleeping…. Huh??" Draco said on their way to have breakfast.

"Damn it, could you stop it! We both know I wasn't sleeping, now stop!" Blaise said loosing his patience.

"Haha, I knew it! I knew you were still with Hermione studying!" Draco replied happy with himself for finally making Blaise say the truth.

Blaise gave a half smile and swiftly changed to a straight face before Draco could see it. "Ok, now that we have that out of the way, did you finish next week's project?"

"Um…next week's project?? I didn't even remember…." Draco replied a little worried.

"I'm almost done, all I have left is writing it. I'm done with all the research for it."

"I'm sure you are…." Draco said softly as to not be heard. "Could you help me with mine?" Draco asked Blaise.

"OK, but you actually have to do it. I'm not gonna do it for you." Blaise said as they came to the main floor and Draco nodded.

"Good morning girls!" Draco and Blaise said in unison.

Smiling big the girls said "Good morning guys!"

"How did you guys sleep?" Ginny asked.

"We slept pretty well, though last night I went to hang out in Blaise's room with Crabb and Goyle and I accidentally fell asleep and was woken up by Blaise because he found Jonathan on the floor passed out. He broke his toes and his cheekbone so we had to carry him to the infirmary and see what was wrong. Blaise told the nurse he was sleeping… I know he wasn't sleeping, he was studying with Hermione when I went it and when I came out she was gone so I'm guessing that he took her to her dorm like right after I went up to his room." Draco finished telling Mione and Ginny what had happened. Hermione gave Blaise a quick worried look and then made it disappear and turned her expression back to normal so that they didn't know that they were doing something other than studying.

'It's good that we made it look like we were studying…. Or else we would be having to explain ourselves right now and that wouldn't be good.' Hermione thought nervously to herself. "Let's go, I'm hungry!" Hermione said to get everyone to walk. When they reached the dinning room they all sat at the Gryffindor table instead to talk with Ron and Harry!

"Oh Bloody Hell! What are you doing here?!" Ron said as he approached the table.

"Ron calm the HELL down! Don't you think that your sister and our best friend might want to spend time with us?!" Harry yelled as soon as Ron shut up. "Why the bloody hell do you always have to ruin it?! I told you, if they want to be together then it is none of our business and you HAVE to respect that!" Harry yelled at Ron some more. "How are you guys doing?" Harry asked turning to Mione, Blaise, Ginny, Draco and the girl who he had been getting better acquainted with for the past few nights. Her name still a mystery to all because Harry would never mention her name and no one had ever seen her before this year.

"We are doing pretty well! Thank you for asking" Hermione said, Ginny, Draco and Blaise nodded.

"I'm also pretty good, but I think you already knew that" said the mysterious girl with a giggle, Hermione and Ginny raised a curious eyebrow but said nothing. Blaise and Draco only looked at Harry and chuckled and saw that Harry was blushing slightly.

"Ron, do you think we can go through the day without your obsessive crap?!" Harry asked looking at Ron.

"It depends, are you two going to stop pretending that you actually like each other in order to piss me off?" Ron said looking at his sister and Draco.

"What makes you think that we don't really like each other?" Draco replied.

"Oh come on, I'm not dumb, I know my sister well enough to know that she couldn't like you." Ron said spitefully.

"If you knew me as well as you say you do then you would actually realize that I could in fact like Draco. But no, you are to pigheaded and consumed by your own crap to realize that I am growing up and that my tastes have changed. Harry was a safe person to like because he is and was your closest friend, now I can like who ever I want and have it be ok because I now know that I can do that and that you should respect it, you freaking JERK!!" Ginny said loosing her temper at the very end and yelling at him.

"Is everything ok Ms. Weasley?" Professor McGonagall asked as she passed their table on the way to the professors table.

"Yes it is!" Ron said with anger in his voice, then he realized who he was talking to and looked at her just in time to see the anger flash in her eyes.

"Mr. Weasley I have told you before. Keep your temper and make sure that no matter what you never loose your temper with me or any of the other professors because you will do more detention for it. Before I go, you have detention tonight and tomorrow. Have a good day!" Professor McGonagall said in a stern tone before she left.

"Ron, why do you keep getting yourself into trouble with McGonagall?" Draco asked curiously. Ron gave him a deadly look and Draco lifted his arms as in saying Hey no offense, it's just a question.

"I don't know, why are you so pale and an ass?!" Ron retorted.

"Hey, I'm not trying to fight with you. I just asked a simple question…" Draco said truthfully meaning no harm.

"Right like anything that comes out of your mouth could be harmless! Unbelievable!!" Ron said getting angry again.

"I think it might be best if you guys just don't come and sit with us anymore." Harry said in a sad tone. "I don't want you guys not to eat with us, but I think it would be best if I just go over and join you guys once a day."

"I agree with you, I think that to avoid problems they should just not sit anywhere near Ron." The mystery girl said.

"Ok then we will do that, we will just stay away if it's ok with the 3 of you…" Ginny said, then Blaise, Draco and Hermione nodded their agreement. They stood up and walked over to the Slytherin table once more.
