Chapter 10 : Blaise, You're A Genius!

"Hey Blaise? Did you notice the Weaslette was looking at me funny during practise?" Draco said as he jogged up to his team mate, Firebolt in hand. They had had a good, long and hard practice with the Gryffindors and were just leaving the quidditch pitch for lunch.

"How so?" Blaise questioned.

"I dunno. She just kept on looking my way. Honestly, she looked like she was struggling to keep a grin off her face, like she knew something I didn't." Said Draco. "I bloody hope it's not a part of Gryffindor's new tactics because she was thoroughly distracting." His eyebrows were all tense.

"Haha. Yeah she is, isn't she." Blaise smiled, and looked back over his shoulder to see the pretty redhead meandering up to the great hall with the rest of the Gryffindor team.

"Blaise?"

"Yes." Draco just gave him a 'what the fuck' look.

"Is there something you're not telling me, bud?"

"Oh, right. I don't suppose I ever did get round to telling you, did I?" Draco said nothing. "I guess we were a bit preoccupied last year. I slept with Ginny, after or during Slughorn's Christmas party, don't remember which."

Draco was grinning. "No way." He said this with a tilt of his head.

Blaise nodded. "Now I know she's Potter's friend but she's actually really cool, and man look how gorgeous she is..." Blaise was desperately trying to convince Draco that Ginny wasn't at all like her brother.

"Are you kidding?! Nice work mate, her and those meddlesome twin brothers of hers are the only Weasleys I've ever had any time for...oh and as of late, Mrs Weasley; for blowing up my psychotic aunt, thankfully now dead, courtesy of the red mother hen." Draco chuckled as he saw Blaise let out a breath. "It seems to me that you like her, Blaise." Draco seemed smug and not at all surprised that Blaise didn't have an answer for him. In the past, he hadn't exactly been the relationship type, neither had Blaise but Draco felt confident in what he said next. "Maybe you should ask her out..." he said whilst shrugging his shoulders.

Blaise looked shocked. "Really?!"

"Sure man, I mean, why not? You do like her right?" Draco stopped walking and turned to look at Blaise. "The war's over Blaise. It's not like anyone gives a fuck anymore. Don't waste a great opportunity to be happy." Draco said seriously.

"Drake, where is all this coming from? Don't get me wrong, I think I like this version of you, it's more like the old you but you've been acting differently ever since dinner yesterday, are you sure you didn't shag someone?"

"I think I'd remember if I did, Blaise."

"It's just, it's like you've got this weird afterglow look about you. Like in practice today, for a second you just blanked, you stopped flying and you were smiling Draco. Smiling! Since when does that happen in quidditch?" Blaise questioned. Draco didn't say anything but kept on walking back to the school. "You know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were the one who liked someone..." Blaise saw Draco tense and stop walking.

"That's crazy." he blurted out.

"Wow, is this priceless!? You do! Who is she? Or he? You know if you are gay, you'd still be my best mate, Drake." Blaise was winding him up, he could tell.

"I'm not gay and I don't like anyone." Draco said. Blaise gave him a knowing look but decided to drop the subject.

"Whatever you say..." Blaise chuckled.

They were silently walking up to the school for a while when Draco suddenly said, "Way to change the subject Blaise...so how is she, the girl Weasley?" Draco grinned. Blaise playfully shoved him and chuckled.

"Shut up, Drake!" Draco laughed, whilst stumbling. Yes, he definitely likes her, he thought.

"Hey! You know she has a tattoo?!..." Blaise said all of a sudden. Draco stopped dead.

"A tattoo?"

"Yeah, a little dinky thing, right on her hip. man, it is so sexy! It's this little ancient Chinese symbol or something, said she got it in Thailand..." Blaise could say no more because Draco had flung his arms around him in a bone crushing hug.

"Hahaaa! Blaise, you're a genius! You are a fucking genius!" He said, pointing a finger at his friend's chest, before bolting up to the school, lightening speed.

"I know, but Drake...?!" Blaise was shocked to say the least.

"A fucking tattoo!" He proclaimed with great revelation.

"DRAKE! What the fuck?"

"I'LL EXPLAIN LATER!" He yelled back, already at the front steps.

There was nothing Blaise could do but watch the blonde head of his friend, disappear into the walls of Hogwarts. Blaise gave a low chuckle and thought, If he doesn't like someone, then I have no idea what's wrong with him. Tut. Doesn't like someone my arse! Blaise Zabini was left with thoughts of what Draco had said. The war was over, after all and I do, let's face it, like her...
