The Distraction (blarry story)

Chapter 5

Pansy sighed placing her legs on her friend. "How's it going with Potter?"

Blaise smiled, "well I have tried flirting but he's just too oblivious."

Pansy placed her head on his shoulder laughing. Draco walked over to them and sat down on the other side of Blaise placing his head on his other shoulder. Blaise chuckled, "are you tired mate?"

Draco nodded weakly hugging his friend's arm. Blaise smiled softly at his friends as they fell asleep on him. He levitated two blankets them and tried his best to place them on his friends without moving too much. Draco smiled, "I heard you like Potter now by the way."

Blaise shushed him placing his head on his, "sleep now, we'll talk about that later."

Draco let out a small laugh getting comfortable again.

Soon Blaise had attracted more sleepy slytherins. He sighed, why anyone saw him as a comfort figure was beyond him but he let it be. Specially for the you ger slytherins, he knew it was hard to be away from home. He relaxed on the couch, it was going to be a while before he could move again.

A few minutes later there was a knock on their door. One of the free slytherins opened it. Blaise turned to look at who it was, it was Harry.

Harry looked over at him and gave him an odd look, "do I want to know?"

Blaise smiled back, "they're a bit tired and I am somehow comforting to them."

Harry shrugged, "that's cute. I just came here to tell you I can't go today. Mione, Ron and I are going to visit Hagrid and hang out."

Blaise frowned a bit, "I guess I have taken you away from your friends most evenings. That's fine."

Harry grinned, "great. I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye."

"bye."

_______

Every day Harry learned something new about Blaise. He would've never imagined slytherins saw him as their comfort zone.

Hermione kicked him lightly under the table, "Harry are you alright?"

Harry became aware of his surroundings, he probably spaced out when Hagrid was serving tea. "yeah, just a lot on my mind I guess."

Hagrid chuckled, "ye looked like ye were thinking of a special someone."

Ron looked at him seriously, "Don't tell me it's my sister."

Harry shook his head quickly, "Ron I don't like your sister."

"then who?" Ron asked with curiosity. Who could possibly have Harry's heart?

Harry blushed and put his hands up in defense, "no one."

Hermione rolled her eyes, "what's her name Harry?"

"or his name" Ron piped up.

Harry shook his head, "I don't like anyone."

"wait is that why you've been sneaking off?"

Harry looked nervously at Hermione. She raised an eyebrow at him. "no. I just have to do other things."

Ron sighed, "as long as it's not a slytherin."

Harry let out a nervous laughter, "yeah."

Blaise and Draco sat in their shared room, slytherins only had to share with one other person.

Draco smiled at him, "you like him then. See I knew you'd understand sooner or later."

Blaise laid back on his bed, "how is he so... so ugh."

Draco laughed laying next to him, "Ive never seen you like this."

Blaise smiled at him, "I thought you were going to be mad about this."

Draco pouted, "Blaise I want to see you happy and if Potter is making you happy then I am happy for you. Plus it would keep him distracted."

Blaise sighed, "how are you doing Dray?"

Draco looked up at the ceiling and sighed deeply. "Blaise I don't want to do this. I don't want to be practicing what I have to do. I don't want any of this. I don't want to.... I don't want to be a killer."

Blaise hugged him tightly, "I'm sorry you have to go through all of this. What if we tell Harry, surely he knows someone that could help you and keep you safe."

Draco shook his head, "my parents will die if I don't. I don't want to lose them." he let out a shaky breathe, "I'm scared."

Blaise held onto his best friend tightly, Draco had never been under so much pressure. Why was he chosen for this? He was a kid still. "we can figure something out Dray. I promise I'll find a way to keep you safe."

They stayed like that for a bit until Draco sighed, "I think we do need to tell Harry. But we also need a plan so he knows but doesn't tell anyone. If anyone finds out about this I will probably be killed."

Blaise nodded, "we'll figure a way to make sure you and your family stay safe."

"Thank you Blaise."

"I'm here for you mate."

Draco chuckled, "and you wonder why we all just find you comforting."

"shut up."
