Blaise was in a foul mood when he was chased from the Gryffindor Den by screeching females. "I will personally hang them both by their ankles above the lake. And then I will laugh manically as the squid pokes at them for a while…yes. It will be great fun."
A few of the Ravenclaw first years eyed him warily and took the wider path around him. They whispered to each other behind their hands, something about strong men in white. Blaise cut he gaze at them and they waved before jogging off.
"And remind me to have you both assigned to clean up for a week!" He bellowed after them, hearing them giggle as they turned the corner.
He walked the familiar path to the Wing, remembering that Alex was awake now he picked up his pace. He slowed down as he came around the corner, peering his head around at the doors warily. He was the only one NOT to have been repelled by the cursed things and he wanted to keep it that way. The doors hung there silently, mocking him. He straightened his shoulders determinedly and pushed through them. They swung a little harder than he thought and smacked him in the rear. He whipped around to glare at them, but then heard giggling from down the aisle. His head turned in that direction, finding the girls and Draco (who looked hopeful that he'd come to rescue him) pouring over yet more bridal magazines. His eyes immediately sought out those of his love and locked with hers.
His strides took him swiftly to her bedside and as he bent to cover her with his body, his lips claimed hers. The sweetness gave way to passion, and possessiveness. Blaise clenched his hand in her hair, smirking into her mouth when she bit his lip in reproach. A pen flew at his head, and he left her to glare at Draco, who innocently flipped another page in his book. Blaise leaned up away from her for a moment, spoke a disarming spell and grasped Draco's odd collection of pens as they flew to him. Then he covered her mouth again, pressing hard into her. The rune on his chest sent pleasant tingles to his neither regions, causing him to groan and rest his forehead on hers. Her small pants rang sweetly in his ears, causing him to trail his fingers gently down her face to trace her lips. She took one of his fingertips into her mouth, sucking on it gently. The rune sent another flare of desire through him, rocking his core.
'Oh Merlin's beard! If this happens with make out sessions then what would happen if we actually….oooh I need to stop her from doing that.' Blaise tugged his ear from Alex's mouth, turning a desire filled gaze to lock onto hers.
Finally, he leaned away from her, kneeling beside her bed. She looked at him from out of dazed green eyes, and then glared at him crossly. "And what was that all about?"
He grinned wolfishly at her and kissed her again, "Just laying claim, my dear."
Pansy chucked a bridal book (the thickest of the lot) at his head. It collided and the force knocked him over. He sat up, rubbing his forehead, and pinned her with a glare. "WHAT?"
"If you're done? Get to work you lazy serpent." She rolled her eyes at him, and buried her nose back into her book.
-.-
They all took lunch in the Wing with Alex (Who tried her damndest to steal food off her friend's plates, as she only had hospital fare) and discussed Ginny's wedding plans.
"Are all seven of your brothers coming Gin?" Alex asked, sneaking a piece of potato off of Blaise's plate. His face clouded at the mention of the brothers, and he rolled his eyes at his girlfriend.
"Of course. The rest of my family aren't as pig headed as Ron is. They're happy for me…or at least appear to be. Still I think it best to put all of Draco's guests as far from them as possible." She popped a piece of chicken in her mouth and chewed thoughtfully.
"If any of your family decides to show up," She quickly covered his hand with hers, "We all love you even if your family doesn't."
Draco leaned over and kissed her gently, his silver eyes glowing. "I love you too."
Pansy cleared her throat and thumped her fist on top of the wedding planner, "Ginny! We only have like, six months until graduation. We need to get things done!"
"I know Pansy, I know!" Ginny tugged the planner over to herself, "Draco have you decided on a color scheme yet?"
"Emerald and silver of course!" Draco responded, tugging on one of her curls.
"Shouldn't we incorporate something from my history too Draco? Seriously, it's not all about you!" Ginny indignantly smacked the back of his head with her planner, "How about emerald and gold? Or Ruby and silver?"
"I suppose ruby and silver wouldn't be that bad. It does look good on everyone…"
"Thank you. Now, girls, as soon as Alex is released we have fittings at the bridal shop in hogsmead that we need to attend to. Draco and Blaise, you two have dress robe fittings the day after tomorrow, please update the tailor of the new colors. I will have Hermione notify the headmistress of the date and time that we'd like the grounds for the reception and get things in order for the great hall. If I'm forgetting anything feel free to let me know." Ginny saluted them sharply as she stood and gathered her things. "Alex, hugs and kisses but I have class or I will not be graduating with the rest of you!"
"Bye Gin, I think Poppy's going to force another of those damn potions down my throat anyway. I can't wait to get the hell out of here!" Alex waved as her friends were shooed out of the wing and grudgingly drank the potion forced into her hand.
