INTERMISSION (slytherin boys imagines)

Minx~ BZ

The Three Broomsticks was the place where everyone went to hang out without the school atmosphere. No matter what house you were in, in here everyone got along with everyone; the Gryffindors and (some) Slytherins would put aside their differences and drink a butter beer with each other, the Ravenclaws would put aside their studies for the evening to let loose, and the Hufflepuffs stayed true to their kind souls. As a Gryffindor, I personally enjoyed the days where we could all just be who we are without having our houses define us. This may be because I have the tiniest crush on Blaise Zabini, but, like I said, the tiniest crush.

It was another one of those long evenings in the Three Broomsticks hanging out with Seamus, Neville, and Dean. My dear brother, Seamus, was trying to hex me but instead ended up causing a mini explosion at the table next to us. "Sorry, mate! Honest mistake." Seamus calls to the group of them, and of course it's a group of Slytherins but worse, Blaise and his friends. "Maybe next time don't try to do magic, you filthy half-blood." Called out Crabbe, making their whole table break out in laughter. Being that he just called my brother filthy half blood, I reacted like anyone else would; I pulled out my wand. "What did you just say to my brother?" I question Crabbe as I point my wand directly at him. "Because if you said what I think you said, you really are the dumbest bloke I've ever laid eyes upon." I spit out. Everyone at school knows that I am very advanced in charms and hexes, especially dark magic. "I called your brother a filthy half-blood, just like you, bitch." He called towards me, laughing even more. "Stu-" "Petrificus Totalus!" I wasn't given a chance to finish my spell as someone else spoke over me, completely paralyzing Crabbe to the ground.

"Crabbe, we've taught you better than to call women bitches and definitely about judging people on their blood status." A strong voice calls from behind me. I turn to see Blaise lowering his wand from Crabbe and looking towards me. "My sincerest apologies for my friend's actions; he wasn't taught manners at home." Blaise jokes as he stares into my eyes. Being as he literally laughed at the original joke that Crabbe made, no matter how much of a crush I have on him, I will not be accepting his apology. "I can handle myself; there was no need to intervene in matters that have nothing to do with you." I challenge him as I silently mutter. "Colloportus." under my breath. Walking around Blaise, towards my table, where they're all watching with their jaws on the floor. "Let's go before he realizes what I did." I whisper-yell towards my brother as I motion for them to hurry up. As I'm closing the door, I hear Blaise yell out. "Hey! What did you do?" I turn back and look at him trying to lift his feet off the ground and failing to do so. I break out into a smile as I run away, giggling from the mess I made.

The Next Day

Walking into potions with my brother, we realize that Snape has, yet again, changed our partners and seating arrangements. I go to find my partner when a big hand grabs mine and spins me towards them. "You're my partner, Finnigan." Just as my luck would have it, Blaise Zabini is my new potions partner. "Oh, lovely." I say in a sarcastic tone as I remove my hand out of his grip and turn to sit down. Before I can grab my seat, Blaise pulls out my seat for me and motions for me to sit. "Well? Sit down." He says, "I don't trust that you're not going to pull the seat out from under me, Zabini." I state as I continue to stare at him. "Than I guess will be here all day, sweetheart." He smiles at me as he continues to wait for me to sit down. "Never call me that again." I say as I carefully take a seat, anticipating that he'll move the chair, which he never does. Instead, he waits for me to be fully seated before pushing my chair in and sitting next to me. "What should I call you then? Finnigan reminds me too much of your brother, and you look nothing like that hideous bloke." He jokes to me. "Hey! That's still my brother, you idiot." I say whilst I try to contain my laugh. I can't let his ego get too big just because I thought one of his jokes was funny. "I see your little laugh. You don't have to hide it from me; I know I'm funny, sweetheart." He cocks his eyebrows up and down with a goofy smile. Not being able to hold myself back, I burst out laughing and looking at him.

"Ms. Finnigan, care to share what is so funny with the whole class." Professor shapes voice rings through the now silent class as I try to compose myself. "No professor, sorry," I say as I calm down. "And you, Mr. Zabini? Do you have anything to share?" he turns to Blaise, who started laughing when Snape called me out. "No sir." He says as he turns serious, not expecting Snape to call him out in front of the class. "That's what I thought; everyone turn to chapter twenty-three. Today we will be studying about love potions and how not to use them." I turn to Blaise and smile at him as Snape continues to talk about love potions. "You know, I had to walk barefoot out of the Three Broomsticks because of you, you little minx." Blaise whispers to me. "Are you serious? The counter-curse is so simple," I say as I try not to start laughing again. "Well, clearly not so simple since I'm pretty sure my shoes are still stuck on the floor," he says, smiling back at me. "Maybe we could go back to get them, lets say tonight at seven? I'll pick you up from your common room." Blaise looks at me with his flirty eyes. "You are not slick, Zabini!" I giggle as I side-eye Snape staring me down. "Never said I was trying to be, sweetheart," he says, completely ignoring Snape's glare. "I'll think about it," I say, turning to chapter twenty-three. "That's a maybe, and maybe always means yes, so I'll be waiting for you at seven sharp outside the fat lady's portrait." Blaise says. I can feel him staring at the side of my face as I try to 'focus' on Snape, but in reality I'm just trying to cover how red my face is. "I guess I'll see you at seven."
