Chapter 17
As Hermione and Blaise sat down, Luna scooped a small portion of her pumpkin pie with her fork. "Draco, you must try this pie" She said, holding it towards him.
Draco placed his hand on top of hers, guiding the fork towards his mouth. "Mmm, that is very good." He said, licking his lips.
"I knew you'd like it. Here let me get that for you." She took her napkin and wiped a piece of non-existent crumb at the corner of his mouth.
Hermione watched this scene from the across the table, confused. 'What is going on between those two?'
"Oh Hermione, you have an eyelash right there." Blaise swiped it off her cheek with his finger. "Put your finger with mine." As she did so, he leaned closer to her, whispering in her ear. "Now close your eyes, and make a wish."
Doing as he said, she made a wish 'Please let me do well on my next potions exam' She opened her eyes, pulling away her finger. She looked at it, but didn't see the eyelash there, and it wasn't in Blaise's finger either. "Where'd it go?"
"It's magic" Blaise winked. Draco fumed as he watched the two. 'There was no fucking eyelash'
Harry and Emma grinned as they watched the other four. Emma bounced Aria on her leg. "Look at Mummy and Daddy, they'll be together soon." She whispered in the baby's ear.
The group walked through Hogsmeade, looking through the windows of the various stores. Hermione shivered, and the winter breeze blew. "Cold?" Blaise asked
"A bit. It's quite windy." She replied
He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and pulled her close. Draco glared from behind them. 'Wasn't I supposed to be the one making her jealous, not the other way around?' He thought angrily. 'They have wands, why don't they just use them?' He clenched his fist as he watched her laugh at something Blaise said.
Hermione was taking deep breath from laughing so hard, when a glint caught the corner of her eyes, and she stopped, looking through the window. "Woah" she breathed, staring at the necklace.
"What are you looking at?" Blaise asked
"That necklace, in the middle of the display. It's beautiful." Her smiled faltered when she saw the price. "But it's so expensive. Probably because it's platinum." She sighed before walking away.
Draco stopped in front of the window Hermione was just looking at. He spotted a Triscele pendant with an emerald in the center right in the middle of the display. He figured that that was the one she wanted. She had such a simple taste. He looked away from the window and walked after Blaise and Hermione, making a mental note of the store. He looked behind him at Harry, who was throwing Aria in the air. He glared "Potter, if you drop my kid, I will make sure you drop off the face of the earth."
Great Hall...
Draco and Blaise sat at the end of the Gryffindor table. Other students were shocked the first few times they did this, but after a couple weeks, most of everyone got used to this and accepted this routine. Hermione grabbed a piece of toast, and took a bite out of it. "Hermione, you should eat more than that." Blaise said, putting eggs, bacon and whatever he could reach onto her plate.
"Blaise, Hermione usually doesn't eat much of breakfat." Draco explained through gritted teeth.
Blaise shrugged in response. "it wouldn't hurt to eat a bit more."
Hermione smiled at him. "I'm fine. Thanks though."
Draco smirked in triumph. "If you're sure." Blaise said. He then leaned forward and took a bite out of the toast in her hand. "What you're eating's pretty good anyways." He grinned
Hermione smacked him playfully in the arm. "Hey! Get you're own."
"Yours is better" he pouted.
Draco held out his doughnut to Luna. "Take a bite out of this. It's absolutely amazing." He grinned as Luna leaned forward to take a bite. He was well aware that Hermione was watching.
"Mmm, you're right Draco. That is amazing." Luna said licking her lips.
"I knew you'd like it." Draco smirked.
She stood up. "I'd love to have more, but I have to talk to Professor Snape about my potions essay." She shivered "I don't want to though. He sort of scares me."
Draco stood up too. "I'll go with you. Besides, he loves me. I'm not the Slytherin Prince for nothing." He grabbed her hand on their way out. He couldn't help but grin as he thought of the pair of eyes that followed them out the door.
Draco walked into Transfiguration, trying to pry Pansy's arms off of him. He usually didn't believe in hitting women, but one swing of his fist wouldn't be so bad right now. He walked towards his seat next to Hermione, but saw it was already of occupied, by of course, no one other than Blaise. He rolled his eyes as he stood there waiting for them to notice him, but the two were to busy hunched over a book. He was not thrilled about their close proximity. He cleared his throat after they still haven't notice him. They slightly jumped apart, and Blaise grinned cheekily at him. "Hey mate. Do you mind if I work with Hermione today? I really need to bring up my grade for this class and she said it was cool."
'No, it's not fine at all!' Draco thought, Clenching his fists. "And where am I supposed to sit?"
"Drakey daaaarling, you can sit next to me" Pansy said from behind Blaise, waving her over the empty seat next to her.
Blaise and Hermione tried to hold back their laughter. "There you go. Problem solved." Blaise grinned. Draco growled, slamming his books down on the table he had to share with Pansy. Dropping on the chair angrily, he shot daggers at his best friend's back. His fists clenched tighter as Blaise leaned closer to Hermione as the they went back to hovering over the book. "Mmm, you smell good, Hermione. Is that vanilla?" Blaise commented
Hermione blushed. "Yeah it is. Thanks"
"I love the smell of vanilla." He whispered huskily, making Hermione's turn darker.
Draco smacked him in the back of head with his book. "Sorry, there was a fly." He said, smirking. No, Draco did not want his wand right now, as he watched Hermione pat Blaise's head. No he didn't want it at all. What he wanted was to beat Blaise to the pulp with his own bare hands.
