Coercion ✔️

Chapter 10

(Ron's POV)

I kept searching and searching he must be here somewhere I thought he was changing... but no the only Slytherins I could see was the younger ones possibly 4th year and younger.

I again felt the chest pain get heavier, but because of this I finally figured out where the pain was coming from... my heart.

Blaise's POV
(The day before)

"Yes, I was told by some 3rd year Slytherin that the 7th year hotties and some of their friends were starting a fun little group for like support and stuff," Pansy said while handing me my homework that she was copying off of. I rolled my eyes at the nickname she gave the golden trio last year when we all started to develop crushes on them. No, it was not intentional, we all fell for best friends.

Draco likes Potter, Merlin knows he'd love all the spotlight if they started dating. Pansy likes Granger, something about wanting a smart girlfriend to pass her classes and she said the hair was a bonus. Don't want to think too deep into it because knowing her it has a nasty meaning. And of course, the last one is Ron. I have a crush on the gorgeous ginger. I think he's the spice I need in my life... I'm kinda boring. I like his energy and humor, he's adorable.

"Blaise~ you're thinking about him again, aren't you?" Draco asked as he stood up rolling his eyes. I scoffed and turned my head away.

"Of course not. That's absurd!" I fake shouted as the dorm room door opened.

"Hello, traitors~ it's my turn for the dorm. Go shag your Gryffindor losers and get lost" Nott said walking in with Crabbe and Goyle.

I packed up my stuff silently along with Draco and Pansy. We were use to this by now. We get the dorm till 6:30 which is an hour after classes. So basically enough time for us to do homework.

Then they have an hour and a half till 8. Which is around dinner time so they don't even use the dorms anyway. Then the Gryffindors' have Quidditch practice from 7:30-8:30 and we have practice from 8:30-9:30. It's pretty late and gets dark but the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws practice before Gryffindor and as Slytherins we get the short end because nobody (Dumbledore) likes us.

"Let's go Blaise dinner starts in 30 minutes," Draco said while patting my shoulder. I nodded and grabbed my wand and robe walking out with my friends.

"So stupid" I muttered rolling my eyes. Pansy chuckled and wrapped her arm around my shoulder.

"Gotta get used to it babes. Once you turn from the dark side you're immediately an outsider" she said with a sigh.

"But I was never on the dark side! None of us were! It's our stupid parents!" I whisper-shouted frustrated at my idiotic mother.

"Don't be like that Blaise. Your dad is the nicest person in the world and both of Pansy's parents are good people. They were all wrapped into this by my parents and your mom, but if we were to blame someone, blame my parents" Draco said while looking down and rubbing his face.

"Draco your mom is really nice too. She isn't evil like your father, no offense. I know she doesn't stand up for herself or you but she has to go against the Dark Lord's right-hand man. I don't think anyone would have the balls to do that. You have to have more respect and trust in her" Pansy said removing her arm from my neck and wrapping it around his waist.

He sighed and nodded putting his head on her shoulder.

"Yeah, your right. Sorry let's just go to the great hall" he whined moving his head off her shoulder as we continued to walk.

We walked in silence for a while then Pansy started humming something to herself. Once we got to the Great Hall she jumped in surprise.

"Guys! I was in the middle of talking about the group remember! How could you let me forget, jerks" she pouted pushing the door open. I laughed and ruffled her hair.
