I sadly don't own HP or any of the characters :(
A.N. they are going into 6th year, so they cant do magic out of school.
….{}….Blaise Pov… at Breakfast…..{}….
We were talking about the picnic, and Hermione said Mipsy would be taking care of lunch. Draco and I made a plan after Hermione told me what she was up to, even though she said not to say anything. And I have to make sure that the darn house elf doesn't get the potion because that would mess up the whole plan.
….{}….Flash Back, After the Ball….{}….
After I had a talk with Mione, I found Draco and told him that she had invited him to stay with us for a week and that she might be planning something stupid. Draco said he could stay for anytime, making full well that I should prevent a stupid event from happening. The ball ended shortly afterwards, around 4oclock. I was tired but after promising Mione that I would visit, I made sure that I would. She asked me about a potion that would take a few days, I made a mental note to 'Make' the potion and tell Draco about it. Leaving before they were done with the conversation I went straight to my room where Draco was. Telling him about the picnic, the potion, and my thoughts. I let him sit and chew on the words I spoke. When I was done explaining he looked at me 'Make a fake potion, and let them think its real.'
'What? How? She's one of the smartest witches of our age. We would be lucky to get around it.'
'Just do it, you're a Slytherin and what do we do?'
'Go behind peoples backs.' with a look of revelation coming over my face.
'Yes, now, I think that they shouldn't just go giving that to everyone, now shall they.'
….{}…. Back to the present…...{}….
Draco must have been remembering the same thing cause he smirked at me and then looked over to Mione. When we were done I told Draco to come with me. He and I went into the kitchens looking for Mipsy. She appeared in front of us 'What can Mipsy do for you Sirs.'
'Can you show us what your planning on packing for our little trip this afternoon.' Draco said sharply.
'Oh yes, Sirs. Mipsy has prepared the best. Turkey, pumpkin pasties, apple pies…' taking their hands and pulling them to the table full of the foods. We were impressed I asked, 'Mipsy have you gotten any odd requests from Mione?'
'Oh yes she asked to make sure this,' she held up a vial of the Felix Felicis and one with the veretaserum. 'Went in the basket as well.'
'Please give me those vials, as they are not needed.' Cautiously Mipsy stretched her arm out and let the vials slip into my hands. 'Thank you.' We turned and left the kitchens.
….{}…. Later, normal pov….{}….
Around Noon Blaise and Draco went looking for the girls, finding them in the game room giggling like mad asking them if they wanted to leave now. They nodded looking at each other, saying 'its now or never.' Blaise took Ginny and left Draco to take Hermione down to the stables, leading her to her horse, and left to take his horse. Ginny walked her horse out first, followed by Blaise, Hermione and Draco. They saddled and let Blaise lead them through the forest to a sparkling clear lake with a 25foot high waterfall. He led them to a small beach that had a large picnic blanket already set out. Smiling he unsaddled his horse and led Ginny's to the same place. They left Hermione and Draco at the blanket to unsaddle their horses. 'So.'
'Um, I guess they left us here.'
'To talk… stupid brother, interfering and everything.' Draco chuckled at that. 'You think this is funny?'
'Well your trying to avoid me like the plague, blame your brother, and now you are nervous. Oh don't look at me like that, your emotions are written all over your face.' She was looking at him with a scathing look.
'Well, fine… I can't come up with anything good.'
'That's fine.' They sat by the lakeside watching Ginny jump off the waterfall and then Blaise go in after her. 'He likes her.'
'Well spotted. When you asked him if she could stay he was ecstatic, he has been pining after her for at least 4th year.'
'If he has liked her for almost 2 years, he could have just gone up to her. I believe in 3rd year she said that she liked someone in our year, by the time that summer had come I figured out she liked Blaise, it was sort of obvious by then.'
'Wow. It's hard for me to admit this but I have liked you since 3rd year too. I was happy to give you an apology. All the time I was wishing I could, All of the teasing was the only way I could talk to you without having father be mad at me.' His voice was sincere and she saw a bit of fear in his eyes.
'Awh. I guess that makes sense. You had always come after me, just making Harry and Ronald mad in the meantime.'
'Yes, that's the basic outline. I guess it won't hurt to say I sort of liked you when…' he mumbled something incoherent. Making Hermione wonder even more.'What was that?'
'The one day in Snape's D.A.D.A. class. When you kept talking back to him, then later you had punched me in the nose.' Hermione giggled.
'Did that hurt really badly? I heard that it was broken.'
'Oh, that did hurt and I hated telling people that you broke it. People in Slytherin acted as if it was the worst thing in the world, almost as bad as the Hippogriff incident. Pansy acted as if it was the end of the world.'
'I remember that, she was clinging on your arm the whole day.'
'She wouldn't leave me alone at all that year. I was able to shake her off by the end. She was paying me to act like a brat the whole year.' They were smiling, and Draco was thinking the conversation was going in the right direction, and she wouldn't go hexing her every which way but west.
More Picnic to come… if you want it to
