King of serpents and queen of lions

Friendly meetings

Just a few days later, me and Hermione were to meet at the Hogshead to talk with Blaise and Pansy. I nervously stood in front of a mirror flattening my hair down. My stomach churned as i thought of Hermione and Pansy. What would i do if my best mate's fiancé tried to rip my girlfriend's face off? I hid my face in my hands as Blaise walked in. "What's up, Drake?" He said putting a hand on my shoulder. I lifted my head from my hands. "I'm just scared if Mi and Pansy don't get along. I mean, i know even Pansy agreed to this, but still. We're Slytherins. Mi even brought back up just in case!" I laughed airily. Blaise laughed. "You're an idiot, you know that, Malfoy?" He said. I glared at him, but nodded nontheless. "Shall we see our destiny, then, Zabini?" I mocked. Blaise nodded and gripped my shoulder as we walked down to the common room. I nervously walked out of the portrait hole, and out to the courtyard to find Hermione.

Just as we reached the courtyard filled with students ranging from 3rd to 7th years, i found Hermione's very bushy hair. I spun her around and gave her a peck on the lips. She smelled like strawberries. "Hello, Mione!" I exclaimed. She giggled as i set her down. "Hello, Dray. Hey, Blaise." She said. Blaise nodded curtly. We began walking out of the school grounds, and into the village of Hogsmeade. As they walked, Ron and Harry walked past and sniggered. I pulled Harry's collar and pulled him back. "Do i look nervous, Harry?" I asked. He looked and me and scanned my face quickly with a nod. "We were laughing because 2 Slytherins and walking casually with a Muggleborn Gryffindor." Harry laughed. I gave him a quick smile, and hurried back to Blaise and Hermione.

As we entered the Hogshead, my stomach did a somersault as i saw Pansy sitting in a closed booth. When she saw Blaise, she jumped up and gave him a long hug and kissed him gently on the lips. "Hello, baby!" Pansy cooed.
"Hi, sweetheart." Blaise replied, pulling away from the hug. "You know why we're here, right?" He added, gesturing to me and Hermione. Pansy glared at us both and nodded. "I'm only doing this so that i can get that bloody wedding in order. Gran- Hermione, would you like to be my f-flower girl?" Pansy said through gritted teeth. A smile burst to Hermione's confusion. "I'd l-love that, Par- Pansy." She said. Pansy gave her a small smile.
"I'm sorry for cutting you. I wasn't thinking, and i hope we can be friends, since me and Draco have been friends since we are considered siblings, i'm doing it for him and Blaisy." Pansy nodded to me and Blaise sitting across from her. Poor Hermione had to sit next to Pansy. She shuffled a little, so i slipped my hand in her's to calm her down. She smiled gratefully at me. "Is it just me, or this turned out much easier than we expected." Blaise muttered. We all bursted out laughing. "Not that i'm the one complaining. Hermione and i seem to get along quite well." Pansy laughed, punching Hermione jokingly on the shoulder. Hermione looked at her with quite bewilderment, but a smile took over. "I for once agree with you, Pansy." Hermione muttered, and high-fived Pansy, leaving the 2 boys gaping at them.
"So. You bloody stabbed my girlfriend, and now you guys are girly friends?! Impossible..." I muttered, running a hand through my hair. "Hey! She apologised! I think it's sweet that they're friends." Blaise said defensively. Pansy and Hermione got thrown into a giggle fit. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Sounded the voice of 2 smirking Gryffindors. "My best friend with 3 Slytherins. Is it just me, or does Ferret seem to be blushing?" Weas- Ron teased. Harry sniggered as i turned Gryffindor red. Hermione glared playfully at the 2 Gryffindors, and kissed me from across the table. The boys all wolf-whistled. I turned even darker red if that was even possible. "Mind if we join you? Gin and Ria's shopping for who knows what, so yeah." Ron added. I rolled my eyes and pulled 2 seats.
"So Zab- Blaise, Pansy, romours have it that you are getting married." Harry wiggled his eyebrows as my fellow Slytherins blushed. They nodded, holding hands. We all burst into applause as they bowed. "Ria said that she was invited. So was Ginny, for that matter." Harry said, confused. Pansy nodded.
"I invited Astoria, and she said she's go if the Gryffindors could come. So all of you are invited." Pansy explained. We all smiled like idiots. "I'm gonna go get a Fire Whiskey. Merlin knows i need it." Ron said, standing up from the table.
"Why does he need it?" I asked, curious to find out. Harry choked on his butterbeer at the thought of Ron's sudden need for rum. "Astoria pranked him. Said she was pregnant with his baby. 'Course it wasn't real, so now Ron's in need of something to get his mind off of it. He believed her for a week, before she couldn't take it anymore." Harry explained.

That night, i slept easy, knowing that my girl was going to be at Pansy and Blaise's wedding without getting killed.
