" Ginny ?"
" Hermione ! What's gotten into you ! I know you're in Pansy's body but it doesn't mean you can accept being Malfoy's girlfriend or something ! Harry and Ron don't even seem upset about it. I don't even know if they care about you anymore, and …"
" Ginny ! This was Pansy's idea. And she'd strangle me if I didn't do it. Harry and Ron were there so they knew I was faking it …" Hermione cut right into it.
" Oh … Sorry Hermione. Harry and Ron did try to explain but I err… came in a hurry !" Ginny said with a weak smile on her face.
" Did he kiss you ?"
" What ?"
" You heard me. Did he kiss you ?"
" No, de...definitely not." Hermione lied with her fingers crosses behind her back.
" Really ?"
" Ya !" Hermione replied innocently. " For once she believes me." Hermione thought silently.
" You're not very good at lying you know." Ginny said with a calm expression.
" You have a thing or two for him right ?"
Hermione standing there speechless, blushing madly.
" I was afraid of that, what are you going to do next ?"
" Don't know…"
" Hermione think for yourself just this once. You can't love him. You're in Pansy's body for god's sake."
" I'm just really confused now."
' Alright then, you'd better head off to class now. Just remember when you wanna talk to somebody, I'll be there."
Hermione nodded and headed towards class.
Blaise came into the class room with a hurt look.
" Blaise ? What's happened to you ? You looked as if a dagger plunged into your heart."
" I was afraid Hermione would say that !"
" You knew ?"
" Yeah, half the truth from Prof. Dumbledore and another half from Draco."
" So what happened ? You seem well… heart broken."
" Can you keep a secret for me ? I can't bear it anymore." Blaise said as he sat on a desk.
" Sure. What about it ?"
" It's that I love Hermione and … she seems to love Draco a whole lot."
" You what !"
" Yeah. I can't tell her. I can only see her from a far. At least I get to understand love at first sight huh ?"
" Blaise, you can even joke at this time !"
" Well, some things aren't really working out for me recently."
" Why now !" Ginny suddenly spat.
" I just can't seem to hold on of this any longer. Can't you see, I want her for myself !"
The air was tense. Ginny felt it too.
" Blaise, he was in love with her all a long ! Geez, of all the time. He chose now to tell."
" You heard everything ?"
" Sort of … I was wondering if she was alright. Just can't control any longer these days."
" Blaise, I know it's not your fault but … YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID BEFORE ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENED !" Ginny yelled. ( Well, she was just trying to get Blaise back to his sense. Hopefully, all the things he said was a lie.)
" Yeah, sometimes in fact all the time, I wonder. Why her ? If you get what I mean."
Ginny can't believe her ears.
" Am I dreaming? Please, tell me it a nightmare."
After an hour of talk Blaise finally said :
" I don't know why I'm telling you this. Maybe, you and I are like, total strangers, that's why. Thanks anyway, you've been a very attentive listener or whatever they call it. Nice talking to you." Blaise left with that last word.
" Such complicated matter, with such complicated love …" Ginny thought in the classroom. "Will this matter be able to dissolve on it's own ? How will Hermione react upon the matter ? First Pansy, then Draco, now Blaise ! When's it gonna end ?" Questions rolled into Ginny's mind endlessly. Ginny hurried to the Great Hall after her classes, for dinner that is. Ginny glanced over to the Slytherin table. Hermione and Blaise were talking away. Seems to her, that she was the only one in school that seen his other side – the weak side of him. Blaise decided to see weather Draco was alright. So the both of them headed towards the head's common room. Hermione was about to say the password to the portrait when Blaise interrupted.
' Hey, Hermione …"
" …" No time for her to reply.
Blaise just leaned towards her and kissed her. Hermione was stunt.
" No, this is so wrong !" Hermione struggled, there was no use he was too strong for her.
Hermione was stuck onto the wall like glue. Blaise having the time of his life, kissing her neck, her lips. He could feel her struggling, he couldn't care anymore. He just wanted her.
Ginny came along. She shot a full-binding spell at Blaise and took Hermione into the head's common room.
Hermione felt her legs weaken as she trembled. Tears just flow out endlessly. Hermione was hurt without a doubt and Ginny could feel it.
" Hermione, I'm so sorry."
" Thanks Ginny. If it wasn't for you …" Her weak voice faded into sobs.
Ginny was there comforting her all the time.
" How could he … " Ginny thought.
Draco felt really hungry and came out from the room. In the mean time, Blaise's spell wore off a bit. So, he used his wand to "dispell" himself and rush into the room.
Ginny gasped. " Not now …" Ginny said in her heart.
Draco's confused, " What's going on !"
A/N : Ok. Maybe some of you don't really like the idea of have Blaise into the love picture. I don't really approve either but… you see what happens next and you'll know. And don't worry, there's definitely gonna be a nice ending for Draco and Hermione, together of course. For those who's reading this THANX for your all-time support ! There's more in thecoming chap !
