Blaise's eyes darkened considerably in desire. "Of course you are. I wouldn't suggest it otherwise." He gave Harry a devilish grin. "Now, am I going to have to go over than and snog you, or will you come here? You're looking quite cute with that red staining your face."

Pansy noticed her slip up, but didn't comment on it. However, she knew she'd be reporting it to Draco tonight.

They walked to the library in silence, before reaching the dusty place full of books. Pansy led Hermione to un unused row of shelves in the deeper parts of the library and then faced the girl. She was trembling slightly from nervousness, but she mustered up as much courage as she could.

"Hermione," she managed to choke out. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and started again in a more normal voice. "Hermione...I don't know how to say this in a more subtle way that won't scare you, so I'll just come out with it. I really, really like you, and I wanted to know if you'd give me a chance to get to know you. Intimately." She offered the other girl her most pretty smile. 

Harry backed up slightly with the darkness in Blaise's eyes. "I-I guess I'll go over there.." He took a few steps forward until he was only inches from Blaise. He didn't like the way Blaise looked at him right now. It was dark and weird and he didn't exactly remember that look from anywhere. He wanted to step back and took half a step back, afraid to upset the man.

Hermione blushed. "You mean, as in going out?" She smiled slightly and tried to calm herself down before she could answer. She didn't trust her words, which was right of her. When she opened her mouth, all that came out was a small squeek/excited noise.

She tried harder to calm down. "Yes Pansy. I would very much enjoy that. I mean, I did have a liking toward you since earlier in our years. And Ron hasn't tried to get at me anyways." He smiled and held her hand out to Pansy. "Come on now.. We shouldn't leave a greiving boy alone."

"You're worried?" Blaise asked softly. He looked at Harry, concerned. He didn't want to scare the boy, but right now, his teenage boy hormones were raging. "I'm not going to hurt you." He smirked slightly. "These are my snogging eyes." He knew his eyes were what was scaring him. "It just means I want to kiss you really, really badly."

"Really?" Pansy's jaw dropped, and before she could help it, she was flinging her arms around Hermione and kissing her straight on the mouth. After a few seconds, she realised what she was doing, and she quickly removed herself from Hermione. "I'm so sorry!" 

Blaise's eyes closed as well, and he deepened the kiss. Damn, Harry was a good kisser.

"You're too nice," Pansy smiled, shaking her head. She took Hermione's hand and led her out of the Library. "You wouldn't mind going to the Slytherin Common Room? That's where Draco is, I think. He'll have finished eating by now. He doesn't eat much anyway."

((Lol, I know. xD Who would Ron pair up with?))

Blaise growled as Harry deepened the kiss further. He was making him feel very, very good...but they needed to stop before it went further. Breaking the kiss reluctantly, Blaise gave Harry an apologetic smile. "That was a nice kiss, don't you think?"

~

"I totally understand," Pansy said, sympathetically. She knew the Weasley could be very annoying at times. They went down a few corridors before going down the dungeons. Reaching the snake statue, Pansy mumbled, "Basilisk." They entered the Common Rom together, and thankfully, Draco was the only one there, reclining on a sofa and reading. He looked up at them, surprised, before his eyes moved to their entwined hands.

"The talk went well, then," Draco observed amusedly. He put his book down and stood up. "Nice to see you, Hermione. You'll take good care of Pans, won't you?"

"It's ok," Blaise replied. "I'll walk you down there, yeah? I don't want Snape to get his filthy paws on you." He took Harry's hand and they began walking back to the castle.

Draco saw Pansy tighten her grip on Hermione slightly, a protective stance. He raised an eyebrow at her, as if to ask if she really thought he'd do something bad to the girl she liked. She understood the message, and relaxed.

"Don't call yourself a mudblood," Draco said, shaking his head. He gave her a small smile. "I don't think talking to Harry would be a very good idea at the moment." He moved back to the sofa and sat back down on it. "What are you two going to be doing this evening?"

Pansy raised an eyebrow delicately. "Why do you want to know?"

"Well, I thought we'd be able to have a private dinner somewhere. You know, so I could get to know Hermione. It might help take my mind off of...things." He tensed slightly, and his eyes watered dangerously.

Pansy tried not to run to him and hug him. Keeping her eyes off him, she turned to Hermione. "What do you think?" 

"Yes, yes," Snape said, not looking at him from the mountain of papers on his desk. He waved the boy away. "Go to Myrtle's bathroom. Filch is waiting for you there."

~

Draco tried to look offended, but failed miserably. "I'm just happy for Pansy." He took them both down to the kitchens. "Taffy!"

A small female house-elf waddled over to them. "Please get us some of tonight's dinner, Taffy." 

The house-elf squeaked and scurried off, telling her fellow house-elves the order. Draco led them to a table in a corner of the kitchens, and gestured for them both to take seats. 

((Can I 'unfocus' on Harry and Blaise for a few posts? o3o I wanna put some detail into Draco, Hermione and Pansy's 'date'. <3))

"No problem," Draco said easily. He smiled at Pansy, who was beaming at him. She hadn't thought that he would put so much effort into accepting Hermione, because of their history. It made her feel giddy inside, and she took Hermione's hand happily. "So, Hermione. Tell me about yourself."
