Chapter 15: Screw Blaise. Screw Expectations.

"It's your eyes…" Draco continued writing on his piece of parchment paper while strumming a guitar not caring one bit he was doing this in the Slytherin Common Room.

"Hey Draco… Guess what?" Blaise asked sitting on the couch opposite from him.

"What?" He was too busy writing on his piece of paper.

"So my sister said she had a great time. That was good…"

Draco stopped writing, placing his pen on the notebook. He knew that Blaise definitely had something to say. "Yeah…"

"So she said you were listening to all her stories and you were being a gentleman as always…" Blaise stopped to laugh. "She then told me she took you to her small condo…"

Draco raised his eyebrow wondering where Blaise was going with this. "So… What?"

"I thought you were doing great. You know, you made it to her house on the first date…"

"…"

Blaise laughed louder. "And then she said she was making you a unicorn costume… I was like okay, whatever. Draco can be weird anyways." Blaise's face went serious in an instant. "And then she finally says 'He's wearing it to impress some girl named Hermione Granger.'"

Draco rolled his eyes knowing that something like this was going to happen. He then stood up from the couch taking his belongings with him.

"DUDE! You fell in love with Granger? That know-it-all? Why?" Blaise said angrily.

Draco turned to look at him. "Yeah I did. So what?"

"I give you my sister! MY SISTER! And you repay me by choosing Granger over her? DUDE MY SISTER WAS YOUR DREAM GIRL SINCE FOREVER!"

"Yeah well things change Blaise…"

"No. You changed! You took way too long to get Hermione! I knew I should of stopped you when you said 'I love you' to her!"

"No Blaise! I loved her longer than that! So just shut up. No one cares about you're stupid remarks!" Draco hissed turning back to leave the room.

"You're reputation is on the line!" Blaise commented behind him.

"Fuck my reputation! Fuck you!"

"Fine, but you're making the biggest mistake ever!"

Draco shrugged leaving the Slytherin wing to get some fresh air. He felt better knowing that he just told off Blaise. He always wanted to do that since he made up the rumour of him and Pansy getting together on their 1st year. He felt like he just lifted a huge burden off his shoulders. Damn it felt really good.

He looked up finding Ginny walking his way. "Ginny…" he said giving her a nod. He really needed some help finishing up his song in a way that would suit Hermione's style. Asking her best friend could help him win back Hermione easily.

Ginny looked back at him contemplating whether or not she should turn back the other way.

"I need to ask a question…" Draco jogged over to her.

"What? If it's about Hermione…"

"It is." He interrupted. "I screwed up. I know…"

"Well she screwed up too…"

"I guess both of our sides had been plotting something…" Draco laughed.

"It was my idea to hurt you if you felt mad, so don't blame her. I pushed her into it too… and Hermione wouldn't back out if she promised someone something…"

"No. My plan was childish. Yours was actually something to teach me a lesson…" Draco looked down. "Look Ginny… I really like her. Actually I really love her, so I do need your help…"

"With what?" Ginny asked intrigued.

"I need you to help me edit this song I made for her by tomorrow…" Draco paused. "I also need you to convince her to be at The West Wing tomorrow during lunch. Invite everyone. I don't care… I just want her back…"

"Wow… You really do love her." Ginny remarked surprised. "I'll do anything to help love prevails, but she's been with Viktor Krum for the last three weeks… I'm not too sure if I could convince her to come."

Draco felt a mini dagger stab at his chest. He absolutely didn't want to lose her to Krum. "Just do it. Trick her or something. Anything. I need her to hear me out."
