Pairing; Hermione Jean Granger/ Blaise Zabini

Disclaimer; Me? Own Harry Potter? HAHAHAHAHAHA Cool story, bro. It all belongs to J.K. Rowling and her genuine mind.

A/N; School starts in Tomorrow. I'll try to update, but I don't know if I'll be able to update recently. Sorry.

Harry was rather worried. He knew that when Hermione returns from Dumbledore's office, she'll start asking him why did he cheat on Ginny, and all he could come up with at the moment were cheap excuses. What was he thinking that night? He should be accused of extreme idiotecy for cheating on Ginny. Harry put his head in his hands, desperate and confused. He didn't manage to understand how his almost-perfect life had turned into a hell on earth. His best friends had fought. His girlfriend left him, He cheated. He got drunk. He became a nothing.

'' Harry?'' A voice echoed through the silent room. Harry looked up and his gaze met Hermione's. She seemed tired and sad. Her broken lip had recovered a bit, maybe Dumbleodre had used magic on it. Her body was shaking, as if she had seen a ghost.

'' Hermione, are you feeling alright?'' Harry asked and the brunette nodded, sitting next to him. She regained her position and looked at Harry.

'' Now that we are alone, care telling me why in hell did you cheat on Ginny?" Harry shrugged. He knew she'd ask, but it felt so strange, her voice felt so cold and her expression was so serious that it made Harry feel even more guilty than he felt before she came.

'' Hermione, I... can't explain myself. What I did was a move that only a asshole would do, I asmit it. I don't know what got into me that night. I don't know why I even went to the party. I don't know why I got drunk and why I cheated on Ginny. I haven't got a clue why I acted as a asshole. Not a clue. A single one.'' Harry explained and Hermione raised an eyebrow.

'' Let's calm down.'' Hermione said and Harry nodded. '' So. From the start. What do you remember from that night?''

'' I remember getting drunk.'' Harry looked at the roof. '' I remember that Malfoy and Snape gave us detention. I remember cheating on Ginny. I remember returning to the common room and seeing Ginny cry. I also remember arguing. That's all I got.''

'' Did you apologize?'' Hermione asked

'' Um...'' Harry hestiated for a second and then, with a sour expression on his face, he added '' No.''

'' Did you try to apologize?'' Hermione asked, putting an emphasis on try.

'' But she ignores me!'' Harry said, a terrified look on his face.

'' Then be more persistant, Harry! You can't let Ginny slip away!'' Hermione said in a deadly low tone.

'' I can't be more persistant! She always escapes to somewhere or is always with her friends!'' Harry said. Hermione threw her hands in the air in a sign of defeat and went to her bedroom, frustrated with everything. With everyone. With the whole day. She turned around, letting herself fall asleep.

Blaze smiled when a golden cat invaded the astronomy tower. It was wearing a letter. Blaise took away the letter carefully and watched silently as the cat turned into a golden pieces and dissapeared with the wind. He took off the seal of the letter and opened it, his heart threatening to leave his chest.

Dear Mr Zabini,

Well done, first of all. I heard about Bellatrix Lestrange's encounter with Hermione. I guess today you finally understood why her friends can't help her stay on the right side. Maybe they can become the reason for her to get to Voldemort's side. I have some work for you. Tomorrow, I want you to talk with Weasley. I have send you some Polyjuice Potion. Transform into someone he trusts and talk to him. I want him away from her. Stick around Hermione. Protect her. I'll send you another letter once you get enough info out of Weasley.

Good luck.

Blaise shook the letter envelop untill a small bottle fell from it. He sighed. He hated Weasley one hell of a lot, but he had to do this. He had agreed on the mission, right? He opened a secret chest he had under his bed with all the things he didn't want people to see. He tossed the two letters and closed it, using the same spell as always. He threw himself at the bed, falling asleep almost instantly.

The next day, Hermione woke up panting. She had a nightmarre. A very unpleasant nightmare. She got up and looked at the callendar. It was Saturday. She took out a pair of slim jeans and and a red blouse. She used make up to hide her lip and combed her hair. She walked down slowly, expecting to see Ron, but then she remembered that he doesn't wake up early on Saturdays. She rolled her eyes and went down, taking the shortcut to the Great Hall. She saw Lavender in front of the hall. She knew that her fellow Gryffindor'd do sommething only to protect her ''Won-Won'' She waited untill Lavender wasn't looking and entered the Great Hall with no problem. Blaise waved at her since the Slytherin table. She smiled and sat on her table, next to Ginny. She was smiling.

'' You're rather happy tody, Gin.'' Hermione said and Ginny giggled.

'' Harry apologized.'' She said.

'' Really?'' Hermione asked, happily.

'' I ditched him.'' She said smiling.

'' Eh?'' The confused tone in Hermione's voice was so clear, Ginny laughed.

'' I know that before a day, I was attached to Harry. But I thought about it. If he did it once, what'd stop him from doing it twice. I'm not going back to someone who broke my heart once already.'' Ginny shrugged.

'' Well... this was unexpected.'' Hermione managed to mumble.

'' Yea, well... How are things between you and Blaise?'' Ginny asked, holding back a laugh. Hermione blushed furiously.

'' Between us? Uh... It's... we're just friends, Gin.'' Hermione managed to say after one hell of an eternity.

'' Yea, right. Why is he staring at you, then?'' Hermione blushed even more and looked at Blaise. He was truly staring at Hermione, and he grinned when he catched her eyes. She looked away, more distracted than always.

'' And why is Malfoy staring at you?'' Hermione asked suspiciosly.

'' Meh. I don't know.'' She shrugged and finished her breakfast in silence. '' Wanna go outside to the lake?''

'' Sure.'' Hermione let her breakfast and followed the redhead out of the Great Hall.

Blaise watched Hermione and Ginny leave the Great Hall and turned to Draco, who was hissing at Pansy.

'' Dude. You and Weasalette are doing very good together.'' Blaise said.

'' She's easy to get along with. You are doing fine with Granger too.'' Draco raised an eyebrow.

'' She kissed me.'' Blaise smirked and Draco's mouth droped.

'' Did she confess?'' Draco asked quietly.

'' No. She just kissed me once, but it was becuase I said she was like an open book to me and after that I kissed her to see what did Weasley do to her. Nothing further.'' Blaise shrugged.

'' What did he do?'' Asked Draco, a malicious smile on his face.

'' He hit her, but don't think about giving him detention. Last night Hermione told McGonagall and she was fuming. I guess she'd give him detention when he wakes up.'' Blaise said with a dark face. Draco huffed. His dreams just went to hell.

'' So, do you like Weasalette?'' Blaise asked.

'' I already told you, she's just easy to get along with! Nothing further!'' Draco said, obviously irritated. Blaise fell from his sear, laughing when seconds after that his friend blushed slightly.

'' Man, you like her. Admit it.'' Blaise got up, rubbing his head.

'' You're mad, dude.'' Draco said and left the hall, followed by a laughing Blaise.
