CHAPTER 13, I updated it right now because well I always forget! Anyways Enjoys guys :)
"Mate, I have to go, Astoria –" Draco looked at Hermione hesitantly, but she purposely turned her head, refusing to look at him.
"Her parents… Dinner… tonight… yeah…" Draco's voice drifted off.
"Yeah, you go, Draco…" Blaise said irritably. He knew Hermione liked him, and she was his sister he was on her side, no matter how great of a friend Draco was. He was now determined to make Hermione feel better.

An hour later, Draco and Blaise were in the library. Blaise had made arrangements for Hermione to go out, whereas Draco was just reading.
"Mate, I'll be back…" Blaise said walking out of the library
"Alright!" Draco said briefly looking up from his book
Blaise walked into Hermione's room. He was shocked to see her sulking sitting on her bed. He sat on a corner of her bed.
"Hermione… Why don't you get ready?"
Hermione looked at him blankly while eating from a tub of Macadamia chocolate ice cream.
"There's no point…" Hermone sniffled, rubbing her eyes with one of the snotty, wrinkled tissues lying on her bed.
There was a knock on the door as Hermione had just finished talking. "Yeah come in!" Blaise said
"Mate, I'm going to go get read –" Draco said, distracted by the way Hermione was looking
Blaise pushed Draco outside to talk to him. "Oh are you leaving now?"
"No just getting ready… but what's wrong with Mia…?"
"She's tired or sick, and don't call her that!" Blaise rolled his eyes, walking back into his room
Hermione started tearing up even more after she heard the conversation they had. He had called her Mia. It made her heart hurt. She realized she only got to know Draco in a short time but she had fallen for him harder than she did for Ron, which is really saying something. But she really had to get over him. He was getting married. Married after Harry and Ginny.
Blaise couldn't stand seeing his sister like this anymore. He looked at her and mustered up as much courage as he could to give her some tough love.
"Hermione Zabini, this is too much! I don't want you to cry anymore, I've had enough of your moping and it's time for you to pick yourself up and live past this. You're the Gryffindor Badass, from the Zabini family! You fought Voldemort and killed Horcruxes, yet you're crying over Malfoy? He's my best friend but you're my sister and you shouldn't be shedding tears for him… Now get up from this nasty bed and go shower and get dressed we're going out!" Blaise huffed
"But – I don't feel –" Hermione stuttered
"No buts! Hurry up! You're date should be here soon!" Blaise shouted
"WHAT?" Hermione snapped
"Yes! Now go!" Blaise smirked, "Oh and dress nicely!"

An hour later a renewed Hermione was stepping down the stairs. She looked magnificent. Her hair was flowing gently down in curls and turned to one side. Her dress was a red strapless dress. She looked elegant as she walked down the stairway; her dress flowed as she walked. A side slit slightly showed her well-toned leg. The bodice of the dress had a sweetheart neckline; with a twinkling edging that margined a small cutout. Her back also had another cutout edged by the same shimmery material.
"I'm ready, Blaise!" Hermione called
Her eyelashes fluttered with black mascara and black eyeliner, causing a smoky eye effect. Her delicate wrists held a wide diamond bracelet and matching diamond earrings.
"Mi – Hermione?" a familiar voice asked from behind her
Hermione didn't answer. She was stronger than him and she wanted to prove Draco Ferret Malfoy wrong! If he can go out now so can she. Anyways she had to get over him, right? Hermione's back was burning and she could thank Draco for that. She turned around to glare at him, but she was left in awe when she saw him, however his face was the same.
Hermione looked beyond gorgeous to Draco. He was smitten. There was nothing he could do anymore. He was engaged to Astoria, and now all he could do was wish that Hermione Jean Zabini had never come into his life. She had turned him around and now she refused to speak to him.
"Mione, your date is here!" Blaise yelled from the lounge
Hermione snapped out of her trance from watching Draco. She gave him the cold shoulder without looking back once.
"Huh! What?" Draco stuttered out in shock
"Hey Hermione…" A well-dressed, stunning, dirty-blonde man walked in behind Blaise.
Hermione and Draco both analyzed him as they walked down the rest of the stairs. He had curly hair, a seemingly well-toned body and a fantastic smile. Hermione's eyes widened when she realized who it was. He held out his hand for Hermione, who took it happily, with Draco behind her, who rolled his eyes.
"McLaggen? Cormac McLaggen?" Hermione asked shockingly
"Of course, I am!" He smiled sweetly, "Thank you Blaise for the reservations," Cormac smiled
As they walked out he opened the door for her and then apparated them out to the new restaurant.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What that hell was that Blaise?" Draco yelled as soon as they left
"What?" Blaise said, frustrated
"Hermione… Why is she with McLaggen? What the hell is wrong with you?" Draco shouted, "He's an absolute idiot!"
"Shut up, Draco! She's my sister, and why do you care, huh? You're engaged to Astoria!" Blaise shouted back
"But I –"
"No, you nothing! You have nothing to do with Hermione after you ditched her for Astoria… you fake dated her, kissed her a couple times, yet you expected shit to be normal? Are you really that stupid? She's my sister you git!" Blaise said enraged
"I didn't ditch her for her Astoria!"
"Really? So you aren't engaged to Astoria? Astoria didn't say she's happy you two are getting married? Ginny and I heard everything! Oh and you're fiancé even went up to Hermione and said shit to her!" Blaise bellowed
"Blaise shut up and listen to me! Stop making me sound like the bad guy!" Draco yelled
"Well, you're sure as hell not a hero! You made Hermione cry and made her wish she hadn't met her family!"
"I love Hermione! I love Mia!" Draco broke out, "I don't know what happened… I just wasn't able to tell her that day… She was mad at me for some reason… and all I know is, I love her, but I can't tell her, I can't back away from Astoria anymore, I've made a commitment!" Draco sat down, his face in his hands
"Draco, why didn't you tell me?" Blaise whispered
"Because, I knew you'd get like this… You'd make me go get Hermione back and I can't anymore, too many people are involved, and I just can't do this to Mia… I told you, I love her!" Draco said not looking up
