Chapter 9: She has to choose
Draco hesitated, still started by the appearance of his best friend; he nodded his head and reluctantly removed himself from the bedside vigilance he had been holding. He retreated outside of the room and cautiously closed the door on the woman he was so entranced and fascinated by.
“Hey” Draco said offhandedly.
“I didn’t hear you come in.” He said lamely, willing the tension in his body to ease.
“I assumed you didn’t, I did shout but I see you hands your hands full.” Blaise replied a little venomously.
Draco raised an eyebrow at this, having picked up on Blaise’s displeasure.
“So what’s up, B? You said we needed to talk!” Draco replied quickly, wanting to refrain from entering into an argument with the one person he actually considered a friend.
Blaise nodded, he knew he shouldn’t have said it like that but, it was hard for him, knowing the position he was in whilst the other two, lived their lives in such blissful ignorance of the situation they were in.
“It’s about Hermione.” He said plainly, trying to hide his emotions that coincided with the girl that resided a mere few steps away. “Maybe we should talk somewhere else, like your room?”
Draco acknowledged his need for privacy, he moved away from Hermione’s bedroom door and crossed to his own that was situated opposite. Muttering his password he opened the door and indicated for Blaise to enter. He just knew that this was going to be an important conversation.
******
Blaise sat on Draco’s desk chair, needing space to gather his thoughts and gain the confidence to tell Draco a revelation that would essentially change both their lives.
Draco looked to his friend for any indication as to what this ‘talk’ was going to be about especially if it was about Granger. Sitting on his four poster bed his back resting against the large art deco headboard he contemplated whatever it is he needed to hear.
It couldn’t be that bad could it?
The solemn look fixed on Blaise’s face suggested otherwise.
The two boys sat there in an uncomfortable silence neither knowing how to start this conversation; obviously Blaise knew it was down to him.
“I need you to promise me something, before I tell you what I have to tell you.” He said.
The intensity in Blaise’s eyes unnerved Draco; in the 18 years he had known Blaise he had never once seen that kind of intensity.
“Of course, I’ll give you a wizard’s oath if I have to.” Draco replied.
Blaise shook his head “I don’t need one, just promise me you’ll listen to everything before you start screaming and shouting at the elements.”
“Yeah okay, Blaise.” Draco said with a half laugh.
The stern look from Blaise made Draco retreat “Fine, I promise.” He said combing his hands through his soft blonde hair.
Blaise nodded and stood from the wooden chair he was sat in, he began pacing over Draco’s green carpet.
“Firstly I can see people’s aura’s.” Blaise rushed out.
Draco opened his mouth to say something but was silenced by Blaise raising his hand.
“Let me finish, D. It’s important I get this out now!” Draco nodded and indicated for him to continue.
“I can see everyone’s aura, including yours. It’s blue by the way.” He added offhand.
“But so is mine and Hermione’s.” Draco couldn’t see the point Blaise was trying to make, what was the big deal about having a blue aura?
Blaise knew Draco wasn’t grasping the point, so much for breaking it to him gently.
“Drake, We all have the same coloured aura, heck we all have the same shade of blue!” He said exasperated, throwing his hands to his head.
“I.. I did some research Drake, People shouldn’t share the same colour shade in their aura’s. This book I found it pretty much summed up everything, but like it’s all so confusing at the same time.”
Draco was feeling apprehensive he still didn’t know where Blaise was going with this but, he knew whatever it was, was complicated and overwhelming for him to understand.
“What I’m trying to say is that the book says that in the rarity that two individuals have the same coloured aura, it means that they are soul mates!”
Draco’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?” he said softly.
“You know what I mean, Drake. Problem is that a person can only have one soulmate. There are three of us. You, me and Hermione.”
“Who then? Who is her soulmate?” Draco asked, half panicked, half curious.
“We both are, D, the problem is she has to choose!” He said remorsefully. “It’s not up to us, it’s her choice.”
“What!!” Draco screamed jumping from his spot on the bed. “We get no choice at all?!”
“That all depends on how you feel about her, How DO you feel about her, D?” Blaise asked curiosity getting the best of him.
“I’m not sure, I like her. But she all enchanting and mysterious and I don’t really know her, that not saying that I don’t want to get to know her. But like what does this mean? That whoever she chooses will be her husband?”
“Basically, it will come to that” Blaise said nodding his head slightly.
Draco was stunned. Up until 2 hours ago he wouldn’t have cared who Granger poured her heart over, now it could be him? Seeing her in the ROR singing each word and portraying her heartache had brought something to life deep within him. The urge to protect her, be near her and comfort her, thing’s he’d never felt towards anyone but his mother. And now he was being told that he could have that girl. It was hope he couldn’t have imagined for.
But then there was Blaise his best friend, the person who knew him best, it struck him then that Blaise had always thought highly of Hermione, damn it Blaise loved her who was he kidding he knew that now, but he had to hear it.
“You love her, don’t you?” He asked incredulously.
“I, do” Blaise said resolutely.
“How long?” Draco asked.
“Since 4th year” Blaise couldn’t meet his friend’s eye.
This was going to be harder than either had thought it would be.
“I want to try and get to know her.” Draco stated looking at Blaise, he simply nodded words failing him.
“She can’t know yet” Draco added.
“I know.”

Out in the corridor a small woman leant against Draco’s door, her eyes wide with shock as she struggled to regulate her erratic breathing.
Prying herself away from the door, Hermione retreated to her own room, rendered speechless from Blaise’s revelation.
