"Its me, I love Pansy, wrong its HERMIONE !" Blaise confessed.

" What ?" yelled Draco, unable to except the fact.

So, you don't understand, do you? Let me put it this way, me, Blaise Zabini loves Hermione Granger."

Draco glared at Blaise with burning, reproachful eyes. Ginny and Hermione were left out in the picture. Ginny decided that Hermione and herself had better be out of the common room. The boys have to settle it themselves. Ginny's eyes confronted Hermione quietly. Hermione led Ginny silently towards her room where Ginny could comfort her.

On the other hand, Draco did not take this fact very easily.

"I know you too well." said Blaise, breaking the icy silence.

"Why don't you just shut up and leave? I don't want to see you ever again!" yelled Draco giving Blaise a murderous glare.

"I won't. I always get what I want, so you just watch you back and try not to get hurt, Drakey."

"Get..out..of..my..sight, Zabini." Said Draco through gritted teeth.

"Your easy blissful days are numbered from this very second, Malfoy." replied Blaise as he turned his back on Draco to return to the Slytherin Common Room.

Draco's POV : What will I do? Blaise indeed knows me too well. He'll know my next move. That's despicable. He's despicable. What has he done to Hermione? With that thought, Draco quickly went for Hermione.

He gentle pushed the door open and saw Hermione, sitting and hugging her knees on the large couch while Ginny silently patted her back, looking awkward.

"You alright Hermione?" said Draco softly and tentatively. "Better." Croaked Hermione, with her face splattered with fresh tears. Relief spread over Ginny's face as she saw Draco move forward to get closer to Hermione. She got up and almost ran out without saying goodbye.

"Did he hurt you, Hermione?"

"N…No. G..Ginny came just…just in time." replied Hermione, hiccoughing.

Their eyes met and Draco's strong arms wound his way around Hermione's shaking body. She felt a lot better with her body lying in Draco's arms. Hermione closed her tired eyes easily and fell into a deep sleep. Draco hugged Hermione a little tighter, seeing her asleep made her look pure, innocent and very vulnerable.

"I'll come up with an attack, Zabini, just you wait ! No scheme of yours will ever succeed!"

With that last thought, Draco also fell asleep. Draco stuck to Hermione like superglue for the next few weeks.

As for Blaise, he stood aside, brooding and waiting. Waiting, for a chance to pounce on his chosen prey.

On the other hand Pansy, not as dumb as some might believe, knew something not right. She marched up to Blaise, with a defiant look on her face..

"You mean to tell me Drakie's in love with that delusional mudblood and not me!" she yelled, her eyes misting with outrage. The war...had begun.

"Keep…your…voice…down, Parkinson. You want Draco, why don't you just go talk to him?"

"In this body, Zabini? Yeah right."

"You want to be with Draco and as for me I want Hermione for myself so, I think that we could do something so that we both get what we want." Then, Blaise lowered his mouth to Pansy's ear and the conversation turned into inaudible whispers. Pansy giggled furiously as the rest of the plans were set and ready.

After potions, Pansy-as-Hermione dragged Draco into the potions classroom.

"What you want with me, mudblood?" Draco said roughly and coldly, hoping that his act was realistic.

"Draco, it's me! Pansy and I took the swapping potion again! I'm Hermione in my own body again!" Draco stood there, completely speechless, but a grin broke across his face. Pansy-as-Hermione lifted her head and parted her lips as hers met his. Draco deepened their kiss.

But little did he realize, two pairs of eyes peeked in through the door. Hermione could feel herself weakening. This was it, it was all a lie, she thought. Draco loves Pansy. I was such an idiot, thinking that we could ever be together. He's just been screwing with me all this time.

I'll not cry! I'll not cry, not because of Draco Malfoy. Hermione told herself silently. She blinked back her tears fiercely as Blaise's voice broke the silence sharply.

"He's has been doing that since last semester. I'm really sorry. Parkinson told me the other day by accident."

This time he knew his plan worked, he could barely hold his smile. He put his arm around Hermione's and pulled her close. But, even yet the best laid plans go wrong.

"Keep away from me, Zabini!" Hermione screamed shrilly as she ran to her sanctuary, her room. She'll come back to me. I just know it! Blaise thought, his face in an ugly smile. Draco broke apart the kiss. What the? He thought.

When he saw Blaise's face grinning like mad, and 'Hermione's' smirk, he knew, without a shadow of doubt that the girl running down the corridor was the real Hermione Granger. Draco thrust open the door and punched Blaise. Blaise fell to the ground in a crumpled heap, but looked up at Draco with a triumphant smile, "I told you, Draco Malfoy, your blissful days are going to… end."
