No one's POV

Ginny turned around and looked at where Hermione was pointing and said (very loudly), "Oh can this day get any worse?!"

Both men jerked their heads to the direction of Ginny's voice. At the door to Leaky Cauldron stood Blaise and Draco. Blaise's eyes turned into saucers the minute he saw Ginny and Hermione. Draco had the same reaction but was able to recover in seconds and smirked. "Speak of the Devil" Draco muttered to Blaise.

Back at the table, Hermione mumbled, "Shit- They heard you". Ginny gave her a sorry look and suddenly got nervous when Blaise and Draco came over. Well... it looked like Draco came over; Blaise looked like he was unwillingly dragged.

"Well well well, isn't this a pleasant surprise!" he said, still smirking as he sat on the sit next to Ginny much to her dismay. "Lovely to see you Weaselette and not-so-lovely to see you Granger... for the second time today." Ginny balled her fist at the word 'Weaselette' and Hermione was just glaring daggers at him, clearly annoyed.

"No one asked you to be here Malfoy" she spat out but that just made Draco's smirk grow wider.

"Now, that's not how you treat an old friend of yours, now is it?" he asked mockingly.

"Well sorry to burst your bubbles Malfoy but we were never friends to begin with so I would really appreciate it if you left me and Ginny alone" she snapped."

"Oh I wasn't talking about me, I was talking about Blaise" he said pointing at the handsome man awkwardly standing not knowing what to say... or do. "Weren't you guys friends of some sorts?" Draco added, completely enjoying the scene before him.

"Oh hi Blaise!" Hermione said realising for the first time she completely forgot he was here. "Long time no see."

Blaise chuckled. "Hey Hermione..." he said politely "Ginny" he smiled looking straight at Ginny who was red from anger and embarrassment at the same time.

Draco noticing the awkwardness, said, "Well I am going to order some drinks. Be right back." He is clearly enjoying this awkward situation.

As Draco left, Blaise said, "I am so sorry about Draco. The boy can be a dick at times, we won't disturb you ladies anymore".

He was about to leave their table when Ginny said "No. You boys can sit down. You're here so it won't be much of an... issue."

As soon as she said that, Draco came with two butter beers and to the sit next to Ginny leaving Blaise to sit next to Hermione. He didn't mind sitting next to her but he would rather have sit next to Ginny because him and the redhead were face to face with each other right now which was quite uncomfortable and distracting.

For a couple of seconds everyone was quiet. Hermione was fidgeting with the beer cup handle; Draco was internally laughing at the awkward tension; Blaise stealing glances of Ginny every now and then and Ginny looking down at her hands not knowing what to do.

That was when Hermione decided to cut through the tension and spoke, "So Blaise, how are things going?"

Blaise answered, "Oh! I'm a Hit-wizard. Well training to be a Hit-wizard. It's quite a damn hard job to capture dangerous criminals so I'm pretty sure I'll be training for at least a couple more months" he finished with a smile.

"That's impressive" Ginny remarked smiling, quite proud of him.

"Thank you." he said smiling back at her.

At the sight of his smile, Ginny's heart skipped a beat and she was pretty sure there was a faint blush in her cheeks.

Draco noticing the little exchange smirked knowing that neither his friend or the redhead beside him got over each other yet. He then said, "So Granger... How about you? What is Hogwarts beloved bookworm doing these days?"

Hermione rolled her eyes but ignored his comment and answered, "Umm... I'm a trainee Healer at St Mungo's and I sometimes works at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures" she replied as politely as she could. " What about you Malfoy? How's your business going?"

"It's going great to be honest. Good deals, good trade, good employees... things are great. And I'm doing well too" he answered; though it was a lie, it sounded true.

Ginny then said, "That's good to he-"

Before she could finish her sentence, a massive black figure barged in and smashed through a glass window of the pub. "What's happening?" Ginny said horrified as the four of them stood up to exit. As soon as they got out, they saw people screaming, kids running and people getting their wands out to defend for themselves.

After one black figure, came another, and another and started trashing, destroying, breaking Diagon Alley. Suddenly, a fire started from one of the shops. That was when Draco grasped his wand and told Hermione, Blaise and Ginny to follow him. They all ran to a corner of the Alley and tried catching there breath while the catastrophic incident is still taking place.

Horrified, Ginny mumbled, "Death eaters!"

That made the Hermione jerk her head up in horror. "Can't be... can it" she said.

"Look at them Granger, there obviously bloody Death Eaters" Draco exclaimed, shocked and astonished as all death eaters are supposed to be rotting in Azkaban.

At that moment, Ginny's breath hitched. She obviously lost all her Gryffindor courage. Blaise noticed this and grasped her hand under his cloak and mentally told her that everything will be fine. Surprising, it calmed her down though she didn't let his hand go... not that he minded.

"Maybe we should just apparate home and see what the Ministry will say tomorrow" Blaise said worried.

"And leave everyone here! Are you bloody crazy?" Hermione hissed.

"Oh come on Granger, this is not the time to be a Gryffindor. We need to get out of here now" Draco exclaimed.

"For once Malfoy's right 'Mione. We don't know what's going on so lets just go to the ministry and see what's the meaning of all... this" Ginny enquired.

"Fine" Hermione huffed and got her wand ready to apparate her and Ginny.

"As appealing as it sounds, me and Blaise can't join you two so..." Draco said much to Blaise's disappointment.

"Oh it's fine... I'll see you two around then" Ginny said also disappointed as she won't see Blaise.

"Yeah. See you two" with that Blaise and Draco left and so did the girls.

As soon as they got to the Ministry, they ran straight to the Auror's department. It seemed like the Ministry already got news of the sudden attack and had already sent a group of auror's to Diagon Alley.

It was confirmed that they were death eaters and to everybody's horror, death eaters have escaped Azkaban!
