Coercion ✔️

Chapter 24

"Do you want a mom hug?" I asked him opening my arms and he smiled walking into them.

"You give the best mom hugs" he snickered.

"Are you replacing me now?" an all too familiar female voice said.

Blaise's POV
(Same day - Wednesday)

I jumped back, thinking it was Narcissa Malfoy.

"Pansy! What the hell! I totally thought you were my mom!" Draco shouted, freaking out. I heard a chuckle and looked over at Ron who was holding on to her arm. I looked away jealous and Pansy noticed as she walked up to me.

"Here Blaise, can you hold Ron's hand before Draco tries to attack me?" she asked sweetly as Ron seemed to brighten up and reach out for me.

"I thought I heard Blaise!" he giggled with an excited voice as Pansy smirked. I smiled at how cute he looked, reaching for me. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to my side. He quickly wrapped his arms around mine.

My face heated up and I looked up at my friends but immediately regretted it as I saw the looks they were giving me. Pansy gave me a "you're welcome" look and Draco's was a "not in front of my virgin eyes please" which made me roll my eyes.

"What's happening?" Ron whispered at the silence and I felt my face heating up again.

"Uh... nothing really, so how are you?" I asked after I froze thinking of how to answer. Pansy and Draco both snickered. I shot them a glare in return.

"Oh! I'm good my eyes hurt a bit but I guess that's an effect. Can I ask where we are and who's here?" he whispered shyly and I felt stupid for not telling him that. He probably felt really uncomfortable.

"We're in a hallway a few turns away from the Great Hall. Draco and Pansy are here with us" I told him and he smiled.

"Thank you, can I ask something else?" he questioned and I hummed to tell him to go on.

"Do you all know about the... eating?" he asked and I frowned at the way he shrank into himself. I tried to rub a soothing hand on his arm but he still looked tense.

"Yes, we know that's why Pansy went and got you. I'm sorry if it made you uncomfortable, I would've done it but... I'm on Snape's bad list" I told him and he nodded looking up to me. I got sad when I didn't get to see his blue eyes but I smiled just at the fact that he was looking at me.

"Do you know where Potter and Granger went?" Draco asked him and he looked away from me in the direction Draco was.

"Yes, they went to grab the extra bands because I forgot them" he said and I raised an eyebrow. Why did they go together for some bands?

Just then there were voices down the hallway and rushed footsteps.

"We weren't supposed to take so long! We need to find Ron, I don't trust Parkinson with him!" a girl's voice rang out. I immediately recognized Granger's voice and looked to Pansy with worried eyes. She was looking down at her feet with wide eyes but I saw the hurt in them.

"Pansy are you-" Draco started to ask before the voices rounded the corner and Granger yelped when she ran into Pansy who was too out of it to notice.

"Oh thank Merlin, you have Ron!" she said while she seemed to relax a bit.

"Yes, we helped him after you left him!" I spat out at them. I was pissed now. First, she left Ron who could barely hold up his fork to eat and couldn't see for shit. Then she dares to insult my friend after she helped him! What the fuck!
