Chapter 16
"What did you say?" asked a very angry Ginny to her fiancée
It was their third day back to school after the holidays. And the boys had thought a lot about how to tell their respective other half. Harry had told Ron that they should tell them about the plan right away. But Ron being Ron wanted to wait it out so that his holiday wasn't ruined. So after all the thoughtful arguments between the best friends they both had come to the conclusion to let their girls know about their meeting with Malfoy. They wanted to tell them when all four of them were together so if they get into trouble it would be less painful.
"So you are saying that you met Draco during Christmas and decided to help him out with Hermione, who by the way is your best friend, and not tell us about it. How can you do that to us? How can you do that to Hermione? What were you thinking?" inquired Pansy. She was also very angry at them.
"Obviously they weren't thinking because if they had they wouldn't have forgotten about Hermione after Halloween. Or did you? Did you forget how she was behaving like a nutter? How she didn't know where she was? How we had to stay with her to make sure she was alright the whole night?" asked Ginny gritting her teeth. She can win her mother today the way she is giving the death glare to her fiancée and her brother.
"Potter if you don't mind could I cut in?" asked Draco who was standing at the entrance of the empty classroom they had occupied at the moment. All the three boys had planned out to tell Pansy and Ginny because they wanted their help too. So they thought if the situation got out of hand with the girls they would bring in Draco to explain the situation. This is why he is here, because he was listening to them the whole time and thought they couldn't handle this anymore so he stepped in to save the day.
"What do you want Malfoy?" screeched Ginny
"You have nothing to say Draco. So please leave." Pansy said being very calm
Instead of leaving, Draco comes in and looks at the girls and slowly he bends his knees. Girls were way beyond shock to see such sight coming from The Draco Malfoy, for he was kneeling in front of them asking for the forgiveness. Pansy and Ginny were both speechless; they were just staring at him thinking that this might be a dream or a fiction of their imagination. But no it was all true. Even the boys were stunned and flabbergasted.
"Draco,.. what … do you think you are doing?" Pansy asked too stunned to speak
"I know I have caused your friend a lot of heartache, but believe me when I say this I didn't mean to do it. I mean I did mean to do it at one point but it was just to make sure she is with me. Also I was too stupid to think I have to place the Slytherin pride back to its place. I mean some lunatic makes us look bad and we had to face the consequences. But trust me I had started to have feelings for Hermione when she was in Malfoy Manor being tortured by my aunt. I wanted to help her out but I was too afraid and also I had my pride to take care of. But once everything was over I wanted to be with her. But I was too proud about my heritage that I couldn't ask her out the traditional way. So right now I am begging you all to help me out. Please." He had tears in his eyes.
Being a friend and a fellow Slytherin, Pansy knew the tears and the confessions were real. So she believed every word of it but she was afraid that Ginny might retaliate.
"Well… if you had put it like that from the beginning then I don't think I would have minded. Get up now. We will help you." stated Ginny.
With a smile in his face he wiped his eyes and got up. "Than…." He was about to thank them when Goyle and Nott entered the class.
"Oh! So you guys were here? I was wondering. Why are you here? Are Slytherin and Gryffindor having a match? We saw Blaise walking around the corner." said Nott
All the boys started to panic so Ron asked "What are you talking about? Zabini wasn't here."
"What? Really? But we saw him standing in front of this door and saw him leave around the corner. He didn't see us though. So we were wondering what he was doing here? What are you guys doing here by the way?" asked Goyle.
"Pansy, please explain to them. But you guys should know Blaise shouldn't know about this please. But I think he already knows. Merlin what am I supposed to do now? I think I will lose her before I get her." Draco was close to hyperventilating so Harry step in and SMACK
Everyone was stunned and watched closely "Always wanted to do that. Anyways, sorry about smacking you but I had to stop you. By the way why do you not want Zabini knowing about this? Aren't you friends?" Harry asked
"Thanks for smacking me. Blaise hasn't coped with the reality about blood prejudice. He had always disliked muggles and muggle borns because we believe his father was either muggle born or a muggle. And we believe he left them alone when Blaise was still a baby. We don't know if it's true at all because his mother had married six times…"
"Seven times" Pansy corrected
"Sorry seven times. But it might be just a speculation might not be true. So I believe this is the reason he doesn't like muggles or muggle-born. And now because I have started to like one he thinks that I would be deceived by her and also he doesn't want me 'tainting' my blood. Thus I have an inclination that he would make sure that Hermione and I wouldn't get together by any means. But let's talk about that later right now I need to find him before he finds Hermione and ruins everything." Draco stated.
"I am sorry but still I have no idea what is going on here." rejoined Nott.
"Well the girls will explain it to you we need to find Zabini. Let's go." said Ron
Harry and Draco both nodded and left the classroom leaving the girls with Nott and Goyle to explain the situation.
Blaise had enough of this bullshit. How can my friend stoop so low? How can he kneel in front of those blood traitors? This all happened because of that fucking mudblood. She is going to pay for this. Blaise was thinking about what had happened in that classroom and he wanted to make sure Granger gets what she deserves. She took his friend away from him, she took his dignity and now he will make sure she loses her friends too. He knew where she would be so he went to the direction of the library.
Hermione was sitting in the library at her usual seat, going through her 12 foot long transfiguration essay. She had made sure she would distract herself from the entire ongoing situation with her and Draco. She did tell him to leave her alone but that doesn't mean she wasn't allowed to look at him. She was always looking at him whenever she gets any chance. The chance mostly came during breakfast, lunch and dinner because they would be in the Great Hall. But other than that she was trying really hard not to look at him during her classes because somebody might figure out that she likes him, actually loves him. So she was here trying to focus in her essay which is due after two weeks, but being Hermione Granger she had finished it within three days after she received the assignment. But that's not the point. She was reediting and trying to find any non-existing mistake to keep her mind sane. Also she didn't want to be around Harry and Ron because they had their own love life to take care of with their girlfriends. And she is here all by herself doing what she likes to do, well most of the time when her mind is working properly but lately it seems little off. She was still in her thinking mode when she heard the chair next to her move. She turned to look at who the occupant was only to find out it was Blaise Zabini.
"Hello Granger, how very lovely to see you here." he whispered.
"If you are here to do your work then stay in your place and be quiet." Hermione reacted.
"Well actually I am here to see you. I didn't come to work in my assignment and sit beside you. I don't have any desire to do that. I wanted to talk to you." he said
"I don't have any intention of talking to you, so please leave me alone" she snapped thinking he is here to talk on behalf of Draco.
"Actually you would, If I tell you what I wanted to te…" he was about to finish his sentence but he was interrupted in the middle when Luna asked him a question. Who, by the way, happens to appear out of nowhere.
"Hey how are you?" she asked to Blaise
Blaise was puzzled to answer; even Hermione was having her shock as to know where she came from. When Luna didn't get her answer she asked Blaise again "Blaise Zabini, right? I just want to know what you do in your free time."
Blaise blinked once, twice and thinking Luna might be crazy he stood and moved to the other side of Hermione but Luna being Luna and airy didn't think that was rude she also stood and took the same seat he had just vacated and turned to face him. Hermione was in the middle now and seeing the situation she was very weird out and she was finding hard to control her laugh.
"What do you want? Leave me alone?" yelped Blaise
"SSShhhhh…. In case you haven't notice this is library. And I want to know what that thing is around your head." Luna pointed out.
Maybe both of them are going blind but neither of them saw anything on or around Blaise's head.
"Did you see anything?" he asked Hermione
She shook her head and looked at Luna "Hey Luna I don't see anything, what is it?"
"I don't know, but I haven't seen this for a long time. I always wanted to know what that creature was but never got a chance to examine it. Would you lend me your head to see what that is? Please?" she asked Blaise
Before he could tell her to fuck off, she had stood up and came towards him and was holding his head in between her hands and was examining it. Hermione was trying hard to suppress her laugh and snorted. Too freaked out by Luna he screamed from top of his lung and ran towards the exit. Luna was bewildered by his reaction she moved her glance to Hermione who was now laughing too hard. "What happened? Did I do something?" Luna asked airily
Hermione clears her throat to stop from laughing and said "No Luna you didn't do anything. But what did you see I know you see lot of things?"
"I have to find out and let you know. I will see you later Hermione. I have to find him and see again what it is and do research about it. Bye." she left
Hermione sat there in her library seat and watched Luna leave in amazement and went back to her assignment. That was fun, she helped me forget about everything,,, for a moment. She thought and started to work on her essay.
Harry, Ron and Draco had heard and seen everything when they came to find Hermione and Blaise. They were still laughing (quietly so that others wouldn't hear or see them) when they went after Luna.
"Hey Luna, do you have a minute?" Harry asked. He was always closer to her because she was the one who helped him believe in himself and his friends during his fifth year.
"Oh, hi Harry." she greeted to Harry and looked at the three boys and spoke again " Hey Harry, there is Draco Malfoy beside Ron, did you notice that?"
Harry didn't know how to answer while Ron turned around to laugh quietly and Draco bit his lips to stop from laughing "Umm... I know thanks… I think. Hey Luna I have a big favor to ask of you." Harry said
"Ok what is it?" asked Luna
Harry told Luna everything about Draco wanting Hermione back and about Blaise too and asked her to help them to keep Blaise away in case they weren't around Hermione like today.
"But I wasn't really trying to help Hermione, I really wanted to know what it was around his head." Luna defended
"Uumm… I know Luna but in the future could you help us?" asked Draco
"Well I am not helping you, I am helping myself but I will see what I can do." she said
Satisfied with the response the boys left Luna to find Blaise and do her experiment. Meanwhile Draco has something under his sleeve to make Hermione think about him more from now on. Let the fun begin.
