Hermione woke up to the sound of her alarm, the book she was reading open in her lap. She looked at the time, and saw that classes would be starting in an hour and a half. She yawned and stretched, letting out a soft sigh as her body slowly started waking up. She grabbed the book and placed it back on her nightstand, frustrated that she still hadn't found anything. This didn't deter her however; it made her even more determined to find an answer.
She grabbed her robes that she needed to wear for the day, and changed into them. She made her way into her common room, and grabbed her school textbooks that related to the classes she had today, and curled up on a red cushion couch in front of the fireplace.
Hermione had a ritual. That ritual was to wake up early every day before class and go over the chapter that the teacher was going to be teaching the students that day. It's not something that she had to do, as she was always weeks ahead of the rest of the students anyways, but she liked to refresh her memory every morning.
She let out a sigh as the familiar scent of the textbooks hit her as she flipped through the pages. Hermione loved the smell of books, they had a different scent, especially when new.
She read everything over until it was time for breakfast. Being a Head Girl, she didn't technically have to go to the Great Hall for breakfast every morning. The dorm room she was given provided a fridge, with all the essentials she needed in order to feed herself. However, she knew that both Harry and Ron would not be very happy if she locked herself in her room for meals. They already thought she spent too much time locked up in her room studying.
So, Hermione got up and headed towards the Great Hall for breakfast, determined to have a better day. She had pushed away the events that had taken place last night, she had concluded that it was her mind playing tricks on her due to her immense fear of the dark.
She spotted Harry and Ron at their usual place at the Gryffindor table, and made her way towards them.
"Morning Hermione" Harry said greeting her.
"Morning Harry, Ron" Hermione said smiling at both of them before sitting down in between them.
"How was your night?" Harry asked making conversation.
Hermione looked over at Ron, and felt her face flush. "It was pretty good," she said quickly.
Ron sent her a wink.
"So patrolling went alright?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, I mean it went as well as it could considering who I had for company."
Harry nodded his head in understanding.
"And you have to patrol again tonight?" Ron asked.
"Yeah I do. Dumbledore has made it the responsibility of the Head Boy and Girl to patrol the castle every night."
"That kinda sucks" Ron said.
"Not really, I mean it all comes with the position. Patrolling isn't all that bad."
Any other response was cut off, as the daily swarm of owls dropping off mail swooped into the Great Hall. Hermione was surprised when a brown barn owl dropped a parcel down in front of her. She had recognized the owl immediately, and looked over at the Slytherin table, where Blaise was watching her. He sent her a wink, and Hermione looked back down and started unwrapping the mail that she had received.
Want to meet up in the library tonight?
Say, 7:00?
-Blaise
Hermione looked back up at him, and nodded her head, signaling that she would meet up with him.
Ron looked over at the letter she had in her hand and snorted.
"You're not actually going to go and meet up with him tonight are you?"
"Of course I am, why?" Hermione asked confused.
"I thought me and you could hang out before you went patrolling, you know, finish off our conversation we were having last night" Ron said, his voice going husky again.
Hermione felt her cheeks flush.
"So what do you think?" Ron asked eagerly.
Hermione was torn. She wanted to hang out with Ron again tonight, but it had been so long since her and Blaise had hung out, as they were not able to see each other over the summer holidays.
"We can finish our.. conversation anytime" Hermione said, finally making up her mind. "I didn't get to see Blaise at all over the summer holidays, so I really want to catch up with him and see how things are going. See how his summer went, that kind of thing."
"You're choosing him over me?" Ron asked, jealousy leaking into his voice.
"Ron, Hermione hung out with us a lot over the summer, plus, we get to see her every day. I'm sure whatever it is that you guys were talking about can wait, considering you don't seem to be fighting or anything." Harry said, being the peacekeeper once again.
Hermione smiled her appreciation to Harry and mouthed "Thank you"
"I guess I'm just a little jealous that you go and spend time alone with a guy that isn't me" Ron said softly.
Hermione engulfed him in a hug and squeezed him tight. "You have nothing to worry about, he's just a really good friend okay?"
Ron sent Hermione a small smile and said "Okay."
Breakfast appeared in front of them, and Ron started grabbing bits and pieces of everything, forgetting about his jealousy. By the time he was done, his plate was overflowing. Hermione smiled and shook her head at her boyfriend. Throw food in front of the guy, and he forgot about everything else.
"Those two make me sick. I wish someone would hex them" Draco growled referring to Hermione and Ron.
"Hex them because they're happy?" Blaise inquired.
"I really don't care if they're happy or not. I would prefer not to have to witness it."
"Jealous mate?" Blaise asked smirking.
"Jealous?" Draco asked appalled. "Of those two? Why in the hell would I be jealous of them?''
"You tell me" Blaise stated.
"Let's get something straight" Draco snapped, turning to face Blaise. "I have never, nor will I ever be jealous of the Mudblood and that blood traitor that she is shacking up with. I can't stand either of them, and wish someone would take care of them."
"Whatever mate" Blaise said shaking his head.
"What did your owl take to her this morning anyways," Draco asked, being nosey.
"For someone who claims to hate her, you sure do keep an eye on her" Blaise stated.
"I do not keep my eye on her" Draco hissed. "I have a keen eye, there's a difference."
"Not that it is any of your business, but I asked her if she wanted to meet up tonight" Blaise said, not wanting to argue with Draco when he was in one of his moods.
"She has patrolling duties tonight" Draco stated.
"Which I am aware of. That's why I asked her to meet up before you guys had to meet up to patrol."
"And I'm assuming that she agreed." Draco said disgustedly.
"She did."
"How can you even stand being in her presence?" Draco snapped. "What, do you just sit there and listen to her while she rattles off everything about Hogwarts because she's read all the bloody textbooks a million times? Or do you sit there and listen to her while she gushes about her love for Weasley."
"I am not getting into this with you again Draco" Blaise said darkly.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. You guys are like best friends now and you feel the need to defend her honour. How pathetic. I wonder how your father would feel if he knew who you were choosing to associate with" Draco growled.
Blaise narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Draco. "Do not threaten me Draco."
"Or what?"
"Stop taking out your anger and frustrations out on me. I understand you don't like Hermione, trust me, I've heard your opinions of her a million times, but that isn't going to change anything. She is my friend, and I am going to hang out with her. I am not going to apologize for being friends with her, and I do not appreciate you threatening me and bringing my father into this. You have made some bad choices in the past, and you did not see me running to your father to tell on you, because I respected you enough and always had your back. I would appreciate that you would support me on this, regardless if you agree with it or not."
"Do what you want Zabini, but I will never support your friendship with her" Draco stated before he stood up and walked away.
Blaise shook his head and ran a hand through his hair. He could feel eyes on him, and he knew she had more than likely saw most of what had happened.
He looked up, and saw Hermione looking at him with concern written all over her face.
"Are you okay?" she mouthed.
Blaise nodded and sent her a smile.
Hermione smiled back, and went back to her breakfast. Blaise could feel her eyes on him every now and again, more than likely trying to see if he had told her the truth. Dealing with Draco and his mood swings was something that he was accustomed to.
When breakfast was finished, Blaise left the Great Hall along with all of the other students, and headed to class.
The day went by rather slowly for Blaise, as Draco had decided to give him the silent treatment. Not that he minded, sometimes he needed space from Draco. The two of them were too much alike, and were both too stubborn to apologize for whatever transpired between them. Eventually, one of them would just start talking to the other, and they would forget about whatever happened, putting it behind them. It's how their friendship worked.
Draco was one of Blaise's best friends. The two of them had grown up around each other since childhood, thanks to both of their fathers being involved with Voldemort. They had developed a friendship rather quickly, and when they received their Hogwarts letters, the two of them had looked forward to going there together. They fought every now and then, but that was because sometimes their opinions differed, and Draco would never listen because he thought that he was always right. Blaise knew this had a lot to do with Draco's upbringing, as his father was a lot harder on him then Blaise's father was to him.
Blaise smiled when he entered the library and saw Hermione sitting at their table. She felt him approaching, and looked up at him and her face lit up and she sent him a huge genuine smile.
"Hey you" Blaise said as he sat down.
"Hey" Hermione said smiling.
"How are you?" Blaise asked.
"I'm pretty good, how are you?"
"Besides Draco giving me the silent treatment, I'm good."
Hermione's face automatically showed her concern. "Why's he giving you the silent treatment? Did it have something to do with what was going on between you two at lunchtime?"
"He just doesn't understand things the way I do."
"You mean our friendship.."
Blaise smirked. "There really is no getting anything past you is there."
"I know you Blaise, you try and sugarcoat everything."
Blaise smirked at her in response.
"He's going on about us being friends again isn't he?"
"It's Draco, he needs something to complain about."
"Still, I don't understand why he pokes at you so much because we're friends. I mean, why doesn't he just get over it? Are you not allowed to have friends besides him? He doesn't need to be so selfish. It's not like I'm trying to take you away from him, nor do I try and make you feel guilty for being his friend, I just accept it and move on."
"Draco doesn't look at things that way. He looks at it as more of a betrayal. I don't know, I mean I understand why he thinks the way he does, it has a lot to do with his upbringing."
"I guess.."
"Don't worry about it Hermione, I'm not going to listen to him. I have already made it clear that I am going to be friends with you regardless.
"I just feel bad because you're in the middle of it all."
Blaise shrugged. "I'm used to it. I just stay away from choosing sides."
"I guess.."
"Don't worry about it, it's all good. Anyways, how was your summer? What did you do? I want to hear all about it!"
So Hermione launched into her story about her summer, talking a lot about her parents and places that she had decided to go and visit. About her muggle friends that she went to go and hang out with, and the books that she had read. Blaise smiled and listened intently, asking the appropriate questions when necessary.
"So what did you do this summer?" Hermione asked after she was finished.
"Nothing interesting, the usual. My father tried to convince me to 'see the greater good' in working with the dark side, but he gave up half way through when he realized that I wasn't budging. My mom is quite ecstatic that I didn't give into my father, she never wanted me involved in all that in the first place. She's just thankful that I have a good head on my shoulders and am able to make my own decisions and choose my own destiny type thing. She knows that some children don't have a choice and are forced into that life. Thankfully, my father doesn't make me do something I don't want to do, just voices his opinions, hoping that I change my mind."
"I'm sorry you had to put up with that most of the summer."
Blaise waved her off. "It honestly isn't that bad. He already knows that I have my mind made up, so he doesn't push me. He just more so hopes that maybe one day I will join him. It's not like he hates me or anything because of it, he still treats me as his son."
Hermione nodded in understanding. "Well I am happy that you aren't going to follow in his footsteps. I don't know what I would do if me and you ended up coming face to face on opposite sides of the battlefield."
"Simple. I'd grab you and we would run away."
Hermione laughed. "Imagine it was that easy. We would be surrounded by people, and we both know that I have a high ante on my head. No one would just let you run away with me unharmed. Besides, I couldn't leave Harry and Ron to fight by themselves."
"I know. But it is a nice thought" Blaise said with a wink.
Hermione smiled. "It really is."
Hermione straightened up. "Have you ever thought about what you are going to do when the time comes for us all to be in battle? Like which side you are going to fight for?"
"I actually have thought a lot about it. Regardless of which side I choose, I am going to be turning my back on people that I care about. But honestly, I don't agree with what the Dark Lord stands for, so therefore I would not want to fight on his side. He kills innocent people for fun, just because of their blood status. I personally believe that there is no reason for it."
"So that means you'd be fighting on the light side?" Hermione asked, eagerness evident in her voice.
Blaise smirked "It does."
Hermione felt a huge smile spread across her face.
"I'm glad that we will be fighting on the same side, when the time comes. But what about your father? And Draco?"
Draco had looked at the clock in his dorm room, shaking his head angrily when Hermione had still not shown up. She was already ten minutes late. He stormed out of his dorm room, and made his way to the library, where he knew he would find her and his best friend talking and hanging out. He had made it to the library quickly in his pissed off haste, and was about to interrupt their little rendezvous until he overheard what they were talking about.
"Have you ever thought about what you are going to do when the time comes for us all to be in battle? Like which side you are going to fight for?"
Draco stopped walking, then slowly creeped forward, making sure to hide behind the bookshelves that separated them. He didn't know why he was eavesdropping, but he wanted to know what Blaise was going to say. He knew that Blaise wasn't interested in being a Death Eater or anything of the sort like he was, and he had always questioned Blaise's loyalty. He knew that him and Hermione had intimate conversations, and he more than likely admitted more to her then he did to him, so this is why Draco found himself hiding in the shadows behind a bookshelf, listening to his best friend talk to the girl he hated.
Draco heard Blaise start to answer,
"I actually have thought a lot about it. Regardless of which side I choose, I am going to be turning my back on people that I care about. But honestly, I don't agree with what the Dark Lord stands for, so therefore I would not want to fight on his side. He kills innocent people for fun, just because of their blood status. I personally believe that there is no reason for it."
Draco scoffed. Blaise was too soft. Blood status meant everything. Clearly hanging out with a Mudblood was affecting Blaise and his thoughts and opinions on things.
"So that means you'd be fighting on the light side?"
Draco felt disgusted at the eagerness and hopefulness that he could hear in her voice as she asked Blaise that question.
"It does"
Draco felt as though he had been slapped. His best friend was going to fight on the opposite side of him when it came down to it. Draco couldn't believe it. After all these years of friendship, he was choosing to fight with a Mudblood on his side, compared to his own blood and kin. Draco felt his temper swelling inside of him, and he clenched his hands into fists. He was about to step out of the shadows, until…
"I'm glad that we will be fighting on the same side, when the time comes. But what about your father? And Draco?"
"I've thought a lot about that also, and honestly, it sucks that I am going to be against my father and my best friend, but when it comes down to it, I wouldn't try and harm either of them if I saw them on the battlefield, and I would hope they would give me the same common courtesy. Me choosing to fight against them is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made, but that doesn't mean that me choosing to fight against them has anything to do with them personally. I still care about them both, and would not want anything to come of either of them, but I don't believe in what they are fighting for. If I could choose, I wouldn't fight for either side, because I don't want to harm anyone. But when it comes down to it, I know that I have to choose."
Draco had heard enough. He stepped out of the shadows, pure rage fixed upon his face.
"Well isn't that sweet" Draco spat.
Hermione and Blaise both turned sharply in his direction.
"How long were you listening?" Blaise asked.
"How do you know he was listening" Hermione asked quietly.
Blaise waved her off.
"Drake? How long were you standing there?"
"Long enough to hear that you would betray your best friend and father for this Mudblood."
Blaise let out a deep breath. "That's not how it is Draco."
"Oh really?" Draco snapped "Because from the sounds of it, you want to fight along side Potter, Weasley, and the Mudblood instead of fighting alongside people that you grew up with. So please, tell me that's not how it is."
"Draco, you're still my best mate, I just don't want to fight on a side where I don't agree with what they are fighting for."
"The Dark Lord is fighting to purify the magical world."
"So if he told you to kill Hermione right now without giving you any reason, you would do it?" Blaise asked.
"In a heartbeat" Draco replied, his grey eyes cold and hard.
