Pansy had found out after entering the room after so long, which ultimately led to her telling the whole group so that they'd understand why she was upset or acting strange. Despite any sworn secrecy, it somehow got out, leading to everyone finding out as they glanced in her direction in the hallways.
It was destroying for her once unshy nature, the part of her that always skipped around the corridors no matter who was watching, was shoved down deep as she now kept her head down to ignore everything around her.
Snape hadn't said anything to her, but she still avoided his lessons so that she couldn't be confronted before she wanted to be, she hung around Harry more than the Slytherin common room, so he couldn't find her nearby.
And she always went out during Hogsmeade weekend.
"Well, that went well" Hermione chimes as they left the secret meeting place, the list of names being shoved in her bag as the four walked together around the shops. After gaining looks from the others, she sighed. "Alright, it could have gone better"
"All that matters is that we have people willing to do it almost as much as us" Lacy reassured them with a smile, making Harry grin back as he wrapped his arm around hers in comfort. "I sat we go get some treats for ourselves for getting this far"
"Way to have faith in us, Lace" Ron snorted.

Lacy aggressively scrubbed the cauldron in front of her as she ignored any glances she got from the potions professor, she had gained herself detention from skipping the lessons, leading to this awkward tension.
Beside her stood Blaise, who was scrubbing away at his selection as well. No matter what Lacy had said, Blaise ended up skipping every single lesson with her so she wouldn't have to be alone after learning about such a thing, which led him to detention as well—which he said he didn't mind because then she wouldn't be alone with Snape.
Snape suddenly slapped his paper down onto his desk and glanced at the door before he looked at the two students, "I'll be back, don't stop" and with that, he stormed out of the classroom with his weird cape thing swinging behind him drastically.
The blonde witch let out a huge sigh of relief when she could no longer feel his eyes on her, and soon felt Blaise reach over and grab her hand to squeeze it, she smiled softly as she looked up at her friend who was still doing his work, absentmindedly rubbing her hand with his thumb as he continued the detention.
Lacy eyes widened when she suddenly felt a shift in her stomach, and when she felt the small rising of a blush in her cheeks, she bit her lip nervously. Blaise looked over once he had noticed there was something wrong with her. "Are you okay? Do we need to see Madam Pomfrey?" He asked her, before he dropped the sponge and lifted his hand up to feel her temperature with the back of his hand. "You feel warm, maybe we should go see her"
"I'm fine" She breathed out, the closeness of his body seemed to spark something in her and she was suddenly questioning how she felt about him, as if she was only just realising something. When he felt her eyes on his, he looked down and gave her a smile, which made her blush further. "Just nervous with everything, I guess"
"That makes sense" Blaise nodded, bringing his hand down so he could grab his other hand, not noticing the goosebumps he set off on her arms when his hand trailed over it. "Try not to worry so much, you know we're all here to talk if you need to"
"You're here" She added on in a mumble, squeezing his hands slightly, which caused him to grin down at her. Their eyes locked randomly as they seemed to sway closer together, Blaise releasing one of his hands to lift it up to her cheek, their faces drifted closer and closer together as the flutters messed around in Lacy's stomach again.
The two sprung apart quickly when the door was slammed open frantically, and they quickly grabbed the things they needed as they avoided eye contact with the teacher, who could tell something happened when he sat down at his desk and glanced between the pair, Lacy blushing drastically as Blaise kept glancing over with a smile on his face.
