Hermione POV:
For the next few days I kept on twirking and flirting with guys until I ran out of energy. I don't understand how girls put up with this entire show, but to be honest, it was quite exhausting.
It was Monday morning and I didn't really feel like going to class. I didn't have to anyway considering that I already knew the portion. I continued to lie in bed until Ginny decided to pull me out.
"That's it Hermione! I know what Ron did to you was wrong and I understand that your trying to be stable again my sticking your bottom in boys faces but skipping classes is unexceptable! Where's the Hermione I know gone to?"
I pulled the sheets over my face, making sure that she didn't see the tears streaming down my face. I resisted the urge to say that her Hermione was still with Ron.
She would just think that you are weak, Hisses a voice from the back of my head.
I was startled at that comment. Did I really just think that?
I shook it off, not wanting to scare myself and wipped the tears off my face. I emerged from the sheets and looked up at a worried looking Ginny.
"I'm coming," I managed to say with a smile on my face.
"Great!" Ginny yelled and bursted out of the room.
"Oh well," I thought as I got myself ready for another 'flirtatious' day.
Once I reached the potions room I sat in my usual spot, beside Draco, but was surprised to see that Blaise was sitting there instead.
"Hey," He said looking into my eyes.
"Hello, where's Draco?" I asked. Potions was the only time in the day where I didn't need to flirt and it was the time of the day I was looking forward to.
"He's sitting in my spot. Besides I have a lot to talk to you about."
"Umm sure," I replied, unsure of what else to say.
Blaise smiled cheerfully at me.
We made our way through the rest of the class silently and once Professor Slughorn dismissed us, Blaise took my hand. Startled I tried bringing it back but thought better of it.
I searched the room for Malfoy and was surprised to see that he was already looking at me. He smirked slightly, but it lacked his usual confidence. I gripped Blaise's hand and dragged him towards Malfoy.
Once I reached 1 meter away from Malfoy I turned to look Blaise in his eyes.
"So Blaise, what did you need to talk to me about?" I said loud enough for Drace to hear.
Blaise nervously scratched the back of his neck and looked up at Malfoy. "Does it have to be here?" He asked.
I nodded, I needed it to be right here. In front of Malfoy.
"Well umm, Hermione..." I started and slowly trailed off blushing and looking over at the doors of the classroom.
There, I just noticed, were all the students staring at us like we were a teenage drama show.
I looked up at him and ralized that this had to be my move. I couldn't risk loosing Blaise or else I would lose the bet.
I reached up to his face and turned it so that he would look down at me. I looked at him then stood on my toes.
Blaise seemed to realize what I was doing since he beat me to it.
Blaise kised me right on my lips. First I was startled at what I was doing but then I slowly was surprised. The way Blaise kissed me, it was filled with... desire? I must have gotten that wrong but I might as well take advantage of the situation. I closed my eyes and slowly sunk into the kiss. After some time we both came out for some much needed breath of air and then there was something in Blaise's eyes that scared me.
It was filled with love.
I sucked in my breath afraid of what I had just done.
"Hermione, " He whispered. I felt my stomach do a summer sault and looked back up at him.
Blaise Zabini. He wasn't really a bad choise was he? He certainly wasn't an ex-death eater.
I looked up at him and smiled.
I slowly walked backwards, leaving him staring at me in shock.
"You have to do something more than that to catch me Blaisy!" I taunted him teasingly.
He seemed to catch the message and smiled super broadly.
"Watch me catch you like a little birdy Granger," He responded and looked at me, his eyes filled with compassion.
I smilled and started to laugh I turned around and was surprised to see Draco loking at me.
His emotions were completely unreadable.
I smlled brightly at him, "See Malfoy I got a boy to like me! I just dont want to date him yet."
Draco smirked, "So you did. Congradulations." He replied with venom laced in his voice.
My stomach dropped a thousand feet.
Draco walked away leaving me standing there and wondering.
What had I done wrong?
