BLAISE

It's kinda working actually. Draco's really jealous. I always love to see my bestmate jealous. He still haven't been asking where his diary was.

Poor, Draco. Still need to read the rest of it. Damn Snape for embarrassing me at Potions. Damn him. He destroyed my plan!

Dear Diary,

Semptember 1, 1992.

I shouldn't have called her that. I made her cry just because of what I said to her. I hurt her so bad.

I insulted her. I called her a mudblood. She'll never forgive me. After I insulted her, I went to the library.

Cause I know she'll be there without Potter and Weasley. I need her. I need her friendship.

She's the only true friend, I have. Blaise is next to her. I never wanted to hurt her.

I'm going to explain everything to her why I acted that way to her at the Quidditch Pitch.

So, I went to the library and saw her. Crying in pain. I hurt a lot. I should've told her.

"Hermione." I whispered to her. "Why do you have to be so mean to me, Draco?" She asked while sobbing.

"I have to insult infront of everyone." I explained to her. "We can't be friends in public."

"You're ashamed of me?" She said in disbelief. "NO!" I said. "I am not ashamed of you. We just can't be friends in public. Only in private."

She stayed silent. "You have to understand, Hermione. I want your friendship back." I said to her. She smiled sadly at me and nodded.

"I want your friendship back tooo, Draco. I missed you." She smiled at me. "I understand. Even if you will insult me infront of everyone, I know you didn't mean it."

I hugged her and never let go. "I missed you too, Hermione." We both stayed their for a while without people distracting us.

The Owner,

Draco Lucius Black Malfoy

I bet they're in love with each other right now. Who would've thought? Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger were bestfriends?

Draco's been keeping this secret of his from me all along. I wonder why he didn't tell me? Hmmm? He really does love Hermione.

Well, I am doing this for him in order to tell Hermione that he loves her infront of everybody. There will come a time that they will.

Because of my plan to make Draco jealous. It's time to continue the plan. What to do with Hermione Granger?

I can't beleive I'm saying this but she's the most difficult girl to court with. It really takes time, you know!

I'm just here at the lake. I've got it! I am going to buy her collections of Shakespeare books. I know she'll love those.

Since she's into reading and all. How about I'll take her somewhere in Hogsmeade for dinner tonight. Maybe a light dinner since I am late for dinner.

It's already 7:30 and I need to got to the Great Hall for dinner. Draco's waiting for me. I sat down infront him. As usual.

I brought my owl, Harmony with me. Draco looked at me curiously. He noticed that I sent a note to Hermione. He glared at me.

"Since when did you fancy Granger, Blaise?" He asked me, harshly.

"No need to be harsh, Draco." I said smartly.

"Answer me." Draco ordered. Who am I? His servant?

"My lovelife is none of your business, Draco." I said calmly.

"You know, you should've told me that you uhm fancy Granger." He said while eating.

I shrugged.

"Where have you been anyway, mate?" He asked me.

"I was at the lake." I answered.

"I am warning you, Blaise." Draco starts to threaten me. "If you'll ever touch her, I am going to kill you."

"Is that a threat, Drake?" I asked stupidly even though I know it was. I am still going to continue this plan of mine no matter what.

"What do you think, Blaise?" He raised an eyebrow. I shrugged.

HERMIONE

I groaned. I just got a note from Zabini. What does he want now. Great! There's Ginny. Who just went inside the Great Hall with Lavender and Parvati.

I quickly grabbed her from them. She was sure mad at me for grabbing her and not letting her eat dinner.

"WHAT THE HELL, HERMIONE?" She yelled.

"Sush!" I tried to kee her quiet. "I want you to read this fot me."

I said handing her out the note. She rolled her eyes. Didn't accept it yet.

"I don't bloody care for a bloody note right now, Hermione." She whined. "I really want to eat now."

"Just read for me please." I begged. "You won't miss dinner, I promise!

"Fine. She said, annoyed. Then began to read the note as fast as she could but a little bit slowly.

Hermione,

Are you free tonight? I want to take you out for a light dinner with me.

Meet me at Geserelle's at exactly 9:30. It's an Italian Restaurant, actually.

Don't worry! I asked Professor McGonagall for permission.

I promised her we'll be back at Hogwarts at 11:30 pm.

I'll be waiting,

Blaise Zabini

"OH MY GOSH!" Ginny was shocked.

"Shhh!" I silenced her.

"Blaise Zabini?" She gasped. "Since when did he fancy you?"

"Yesterday." I shrugged.

"I think-I think that this is a joke, Hermione." She said, curiously. "Or not." She added.

"Maybe." I agreed with her. "Since he's Malfoy's bestfriend and all."

"But I still think you should go with him later." She suggested. "So, that he won't feel bad of being rejected."

"You care for Slytherins who'll get rejected?" I said in disbelief.

"No, I don't care for Slytherins who'll get rejected." She lied to me.

"Denial." I teased her.

"Just go with him already." She rolled her eyes at me.

"Fine, I will."

I was about to call her again but she was already gone. She went to the Great Hall quickly. Without even telling me.

What to wear during the date? I only have an hour to get ready! Stupid, Blaise. Does he know that I'm in love with Draco?

Sigh. Draco. Then I realized it was already 8:30. Shoot! I quickly went back to my dorm and get dressed easily. Just weared a cute pink floral dress. Why do I have to wear such a slight formal dress?

It's just a stupid date with Zabini! For Merlin's Sake! I sighed deeply again. I'm Hermione Granger and doesn't ditch people. If only I could just skip this. No! It's a wrong thing to do.

I looked at the mirror one more time and went to Geserelle's. When the man opened the door for me, the restaurant was very beautiful and romantic. I bet Blaise reserved this restaurant for the two of us only.

I was surprised.

BLAISE

I was definitely right from the beginning I told her that she was breathtakingly beautiful.

She was goddamn beautiful tonight. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Why didn't I noticed that before?

Yes, her eyes were chocolate brown, I told her that. She really looks beautiful with her curls. I wonder what she'll look like with her hair straightened.

Yes, my jaw dropped.

"Uhhm, Zabini?" Hermione was now there infront of me. How could I've been so STUPID in my life.

I stopped gaping at her and turned back my attention on her. I offered her a seat and slowly pulled her chair when she sat on it.

My first date with Hermione Granger, the girl all of us Slytherins despised. Despised because of her blood.

I did regret calling her a mudblood. It's all because of Draco. But I still can't believe Draco was just acting.

"I was really right from the beginning that I told you that you were really breathtakingly beautiful." I said truthfully, leaned and kissed her on the cheek. And she blushed.

"Thank you, Zabini." She said, still blushing.

"Blaise." I corrected.] her.

"Thank you, Blaise." She grinned and looked around the restaurant. "This is really is a lovely restaurant, Blaise."

"Yeah, it is." I agreed with her. "This is where I took my first girlfriend which was Daphne Greengrass in 3rd year."

She was shocked. "You dated Daphne Greengrass?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "Why? Something happened between the two of you?"

"She and Pansy will never shut their mouth up." She glared at me. "She also hexed me before in 3rd yr too."

"I'm sorry about that." I said, feeling a lot guilty. "Love is blind, you know."

"Why did you asked her to be your girlfriend anyway?" Hermione asked me curiously.

"She was actually my crush during second year." I told her. "And then when I matured in our 3rd yr, I asked her to be my girlfriend. I am not one of those men who are so chicken to ask the one they fancy to be their girl."

"Really?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Really." And without having second thoughts, I kissed her. She was shocked. I-I didn't mean to kiss her! I couldn't help it that she was breathtakingly beautiful tonight.

"Ehem." The waitress stopped us. Thank you, waitress! "Here's your food, Mr. Zabini and Ms. Granger."

"Thank you, Maria." I thanked her. Hermione blushed harder.

"She knows me?" She asked.

"You already know that I reserved this restaurant for the both of us, right?"

"I know." She smiled at me. Then we started eating. I stopped eating and she noticed it. "What's wrong, Blaise?"

"Hermione, I never hated you, you know." I looked into her eyes and lifted her chin up. "I have grown to love you, Hermione. I know that it was just yesterday but I can't help it anymore. I can't stop thinking about you."

"Blaise." She closed her eyes. "I am not ready for this yet. I-I don't want to ruin this but I am in love with someone else who won't actually confess on what he feels about me."

I caressed her cheek. "I'll be waiting for you, Hermione. I won't give up on you." After my date with her, I took her back to her dorm and kissed her good night. She told me that she had a wonderful night. Yes, she did have.

Those words were true. I'm not playing anymore. I am head over heels for Hermione Granger. And yes, I won't give up on her. Sorry, Draco.
