Hermione and Blaise had been in his room, they were supposed to be doing their homework but instead found themselves on his bed in a kiss that if she wasn't careful would soon lead to much more. They had just begun talking about taking things to the next level and moving to Hermione's room when Blaise's roommate Antonio came through looking completely flustered, he screamed not even noticing that they were in the room.

He was wearing strange robes and looked almost manic, he was speaking in Italian and Hermione couldn't understand anything he was talking so low and fast.

"Devo tirarla fuori, visto che papà gliel'ha data. Per tutto il tempo, cazzo, ho fatto questo per tenerla al sicuro e per tutto questo tempo quel maiale l'ha usata. Come facevo a non saperlo? perché papà non l'ha detto?" He said the only thing Hermione could understand was that he was furious, enough that he punched the wall.

Hermione gasped at the sound of bone crunching and tears welled in her eyes. She could tell that Antonio was hurting and she didn't mean his hand. Antonio spun on them and realized they were there, his eyes widened and he seemed to think something over in his head, emotions fluttered across his face so fast she could hardly decipher them.

"Vuoi dirmi di cosa si trattava? Chi stavi cercando di proteggere esattamente?" Blaise asked, having understood all of what Antonio had said. Blaise had a certain look on his face she had not seen yet from him, it was a fierce protective glint to his eye and Hermione could see his cunning brain behind his eyes working things out putting puzzle pieces together. The two men began to converse, although it seemed more like Blaise was interrogating him.

All of a sudden after twenty minutes of back and forth in Italian Blaise turned to Hermione.

"We need to get Harry and Draco. Is Neville in the castle at the moment?" He asked very seriously.

"I don't know."

"Can you check?" He asked pointedly. The map, she thought.

"Yes."

"Then check for me and if he is here can you get him and bring him here, Pansy can come to if she has to." he said to her. She knew there was something serious going on she could feel that much from how Blaise was acting, so she went to Harry and Draco's room to get the map.

Once she had located Neville in the greenhouses she flooed to the spot and ran to find him, thankful for McGonagall giving the 8th years access to the floo system in the school. She explained to Neville what was going on and what she needed from him, Pansy there by his side looking shocked at Hermione's explanation.

Of course she couldn't say much as the conversation between Antonio and Blaise had been in another language but Neville seemed to have only needed to hear 'we need you' because he didn't ask any questions before following Hermine back and into Blaise's room where he was having a more in depth conversation with Antonio.

Blaise quickly explained to Neville what he had found out and that they needed to stay and watch Antonio didn't try anything while she and Blaise went to get Harry and Draco. Antonio insisted he wouldn't do anything if they thought Harry and Draco could actually help. Hermione still wasn't sure on the details but she had caught enough to know Antonio had information the boys needed and that he had this information because he was trying to protect someone close to him.

Neville agreed and Pansy said she would help so, Hermione and Blaise walked out the room to go use Harry and Draco's Floo, not wanting to expose Harry's address to someone who had not been there before. Once outside the room Blaise cast a muffliato to keep their conversation private, a habit it seemed her and most of the Slytherins seemed to have.
