Chapter Seven
Blaise's POV

I pulled on my shirt, "You're welcome." I whispered into Daphne's ear and she hummed as I slipped out the door of the Room of Requirement. I walked down the corridor hoping to not be seen before I slipped into a washroom. When I made it inside I made sure that my I looked well put together, but at the same time look like I don't give shit. It's hard to pull off, but I made it work. When I was sure I looked the same as always I went back down to the dungeons.

I went through the common room without talking to anyone, and as usual I felt their eyes on me as I passed. I went to my room and took out a book, about a chapter in the door flew open, "You're a liar, Zabini!" Draco shouted.

I got up from my bed and went to close the door, "Muffliato!" That would stop the rest of our nosy housemates from overhearing our conversation. "What are you going on about?" I turned back to Draco.

"You like her!" He pushed me. His face was flushed, and he didn't look put together like he usually did.

"Who?" I asked stepping away from him and I sat on my bed. I wasn't used to him being so fired up, he had never actually pushed out of anger before.

"Jeannette Blaire!" He stepped up to me, "You said you didn't like her, but I know you too well! I'm not an idiot Blaise I can tell by the way you look at her! Why didn't you just say that!"

I rolled my eyes, "We're just friends, Drake. I guess you're not used to what I act like to a girl whose pants I'm not trying to get into. Does everyone think I like her?" I replied and Draco let out a sigh.

"No," Draco said, and I let out a sigh of relief. He laughed, "Wow, sorry about that. It was just that when I actually saw you two together I got really jealous." He said sitting on his bed, at least he calmed down.

I shrugged, "Well she's my best friend."

"What am I? Eye of newt?" Draco interrupted.

I laughed, "She's one of my best friends," I corrected myself.

Draco was silent for a moment, "So you don't mind if I go after her?"

That made my blood boil, I stood and strode over to him, "If you're just trying to use her I'm going to kick your ass. I won't be angry if you're actually going to start something, but if you hurt her you're going to answer to me."

Draco stared at me in shock, I had never threatened him before just as he had never pushed me. Then his eyes narrowed "You do like her," He said and his eyes widened, "Do you love her?"

The burning sensation returned with his question, it spread from the pit of my stomach to my chest. "I do love her, but I'm not in love with her. Drake she's just one of my best friends. Anyone who hurts her has to answer to me." I laughed, "Could you imagine it, one of the Slytherin Sluts being in love?" You're a liar Zabini, my inner veela thought. I ignored it I only liked Jeannette as a friend.

Draco rolled his eyes at the use of the school's nickname for us. I don't know when it started, but it had a nice ring to it. "Would we still be friends after you kicked my ass?" He asked, and when he saw my face he quickly added, "I'm just kidding, mate, calm down. IF I do go after her I'll be sincere. She seems cool, I heard what she said to Umbridge, and she's witty and smart, not to mention hot."

I grinned, "Trust me, I know."

"And it's not like being a traitor to Slytherin because you know she has a good amount of Slytherin in her, she was almost sorted here." Draco continued, I stopped listening. I knew all the reasons why Jeannette was great.

"If you're going to make your move you better hurry, Goldstien wants her too." I interrupted him abruptly.

"Are you telling me to go after her?" He asked in awe.

I shrugged, "I'd rather she'd go with you than Goldstien." I explained.

Draco grinned, "So are we going to go about this normally, or are we going to go about this like Slytherins?"

I thought for a moment, I didn't want to trick Jeannette into liking Draco. If anything went wrong that would surely hurt our friendship, "No sabotaging Goldstien, but I might be able to put in a good word for you with Jeannette. But you can't keep using the same charming act to get her. You have to open up to her somehow." I had a bad feeling about this.
