Blaise's POV
I was in Quality Quidditch Supplies just walking around the place. Being there brought back memories from Hogwarts when I used to be the Chaser for the Slytherin Quidditch Team. Not that I am bragging, but I was quite damn good at it as we did manage to beat all the other teams, except Gryffindors. To be honest, it's not my fault they had so many good players, (not that I would admit it to them).
Anyway, as I was walking past each aisle, looking at the various bats, blugers, snitches, I suddenly saw a flash of fiery red hair. 'It can't be' I thought to myself. As I went into the brooms aisle to get a better look, I immediately recognised the owner of the rich red hair- Ginny Weasley!
'Sweet Merlin!' The thing is that I haven't seen Ginny for two whole bloody years! Though I could only see her back, I could tell that she hasn't changed much since Hogwarts. Physically that is. 'She is still the extremely hot flaming redhead that I fell for'
Of coarse I've heard of all her success with Holyhead Harpies in the Prophet and all but I haven't actually had a proper conversation or encounter with her since the... incident after the graduation party.
I know that she technically 'cheated' on Potter and regretted everything that happened but she didn't have to ignore me, avoid me or funking leave me! It hurt... a lot when I woke up the next morning on the left side of an empty bed. Her side was still muffled and warm which meant that she didn't leave long ago but the fact that she just left still infuriates me till this day because I didn't regret a single thing that happened that night!
I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts and I also stopped gawking at her. Considering the fact that she still has her eyes glue to the shelf, I can just turn around and leave to avoid awkwardness. As I was about to retreat, Ginny turned around! She was now directly facing me and by the look on her face, she is definitely shocked. Oh crap
Ginny's POV
Holyhead Harpies gave the entire team a months break! I was so happy because now I can actually pay more attention to my life than my training! Anyway today, I was supposed to meet up with Hermione about something important but as I had s0me time, I went into Quality Quidditch Supplies.
I was checking out the new brooms that got delivered and when it was 9:45, I decided to leave the aisle and head towards Leaky Cauldron. As I turned around, I saw the person I wanted to avoid for the rest of my life. Blaise Zabini.
It looked like he already saw me before and was about to go away to avoid awkwardness. As our eyes locked, mine turned wide in shock and my breath hitched. "Blaise! What a surprise" I said as soon as I got my voice back. Wow he looks a lot different now! I mean, he is still bloody handsome but now, he is the freaking definition of the word 'hot'. Ginny, stop thinking like that.
"Ginny, nice to see you here" he said with an awkward smile. His gorgeous voice brought me back to life. Gorgeous! Seriously Ginny stop think of him like that! "So, how are things going?"
"I'm great. We won our last match in Germany and our manager gave the team a break. Emmm... how 'bout you? How are things going?" I asked.
"Oh yeah, I've heard about the match in the papers. Congratulation by the way. And I'm fine. Thanks for asking" he replied. God, can this get any more awkward?!
"Your welcome. Are you going to buy anything?" I asked stupidly. Seriously Ginny, you couldn't come up with a better question!? I scolded myself.
"Actually no. I was just looking around checking the new things and then I saw you. You look great by the way" he said with another adorable smile. God, I'm blushing like a teenager now. His smile grew wider as he knew that I blushed.
"Thanks" I said trying to hide my embarrassment but failing miserably. "You look great too" I added while looking up to see him. His eyes were looking straight at me making me blush even harder.
After a couple of seconds of silence, he started talking, "Um. I have to go now and... meet up with someone. It was nice seeing you today Ginny" and with that he left without letting me say another word. It was almost like I was glue the the ground as I was just standing in the middle of the aisle thinking of what just happened. Blaise definitely changed physically, but he is still quite the gentleman. "Urgh" I said to myself, shaking my head and pushing the thoughts to one side and started making my way to Leaky Cauldron.
Blaise's POV
"Um. I have to go now and... meet up with someone. It was nice seeing you today Ginny." with that I stormed of like a coward without letting Ginny say another word. Sweet Salazar that was awkward but it was the first conversation we had in two years.
As I was walking around Diagon Alley, I was thinking about Ginny. The thought of her blushing made me smile. Again. I can't believe it that it has been two blinkin' years and I still had an affect on her and she still had an affect on me. Suddenly, I spotted a ball of white blond hair coming out of Flourish and Blotts and ran towards it knowing that it was Draco.
"Oh Draco!" I shouted as I ran to catch up with him. "What's up mate?"
"Not much. What are you doing here?" he said.
"We're supposed to meet up at 10:30 remember?"
"Of coarse I remember but it's only 10:15 now, so what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I was just walking around the alley and checking out the new Quidditch supplies that came in" I answered "and then I bumped into Ginny" I mumbled.
"Weaselette? Well that must have been awkward" he chuckled but then I elbowed lightly him giving him a stop-laughing-or-else look. Unfortunately that didn't stop him from smiling. Times like this make me regret telling him about that night after the party.
"Her name is Ginny and for your information yes, it was extremely awkward" I said. "Hey, let's just go into Leaky Cauldron now as we will be going there anyways" I added trying to change the subject.
"Alright then. But listen mate, if it makes you feel any better, I bumped into Granger today and it wasn't that pleasant either" he said as we entered Leaky Cauldron.
"Oh really? Please do tell me the details" I mocked and grinned.
Draco glared at me and then said, "If you must know it was-"
"Oh can this day get any worse" I heard a VERY familiar voice said which made both, me and Draco to jerk our heads.
"Speak of the Devil" Draco muttered as be both started at the sight presented to us...
