The Bully's Sister

Trapped

Jane tried to ignore the butterflies in her stomach that increased every minute in her afternoon lessons . She was practically skipping to the great hall so excited to meet Blaise. She had not spoken to him in over a month and was truly missing him. Missing him was an understatement she longed for him, she craved him. She shouldn’t be feeling like this though it was wrong , so wrong she had a boyfriend who she loved deeply. Speaking of her boyfriend she felt a pair of arms snake around her waist “Hello love, you look as if you’re in very deep thought , anything the problem” he said jolting her away from her dreams. “Oh no , no nothing’s the matter” she said with a reassuring smile “Just feeling a bit peaky I might go lie down for a while, go on though enjoy dinner” she said hugging him and without waiting for his reply went up the marble staircase. Great , what was she going to do now? Why had she lied to Fred? Well it was only the start of dinner so there was a possibility that Blaise was not in dinner yet and Fred always ate quite quickly so maybe she would be able to eat dinner without being caught by Fred. Why was she worried in the first place, why did it matter that she was eating dinner with a friend? She decided to wait outside the great hall to see when Fred came out , she didn’t have to wait long. He came out laughing with George and Lee. She hid behind a pillar and then looked into the great hall to find that Blaise was still not in dinner. She turned back to face the entrance hall , when something ran into her , both fell to the floor “I’m really sorry” She said standing up dusting herself off “ I wasn’t looking where I was going, oh Blaise” she said in surprise when she realised the person she had collided was the person she longed to see. “Jane, why are you doing out here ? I was really late, McGonagall had me doing lines for being late to class this afternoon”

“Oh I just came down from the common room,” she told him not quite meeting his eye, he looked suspicious but decided to not think about it. “Shall we go to dinner then?” he asked

“Yes,” they made their way to the slytherin table, there were not many people eating dinner now ,so it was unlikely for them to be disturbed. They put their pasta on their plates and began to talk just as they always had. “So you’re still going out with weasel then”

“Yes and I’d appreciate it if you didn’t call him that”

“Sorry , so are you happy with him?”

“I wouldn’t be with him if I wasn’t,” that wasn’t the answer Blaise had hoped for. He almost wanted her to be unhappy so that he could convince not to be with weasel. “What about you?”

“No”

“Oh I’m sorry” she said reaching her hand across the table and placing it on his. Blaise’s cheeks instantly flushed red at her touch. “So who do you think is going to win the quidditch final?” he said trying to distract her from his pinking face “Gryffindor easily” she said smugly

“Oh yeah, what makes you think that ?”

“Well each member of our team actually has a brain and we have Harry ; the youngest seeker in a century”

“Oh so you doubt your own brother?”

“Don’t talk to me about Draco”

“Why what’s he done this time ?”

“He’s an idiot , he’s being so cruel about Hagrid, its times like these when I hate being a Malfoy” she said miserably. Well maybe you’ll be a Zabini one day thought Blaise. They spent the remainder of dinner chatting and laughing and they were the last to leave the great hall after their desert. Blaise walked her up to the portrait “I had a really good time tonight” Jane said

“So did I , I’ve missed you so much, good night” he said hugging her. Jane wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him close. They were embracing for quite some time when suddenly the Fat Lady said frustrated “Are you going to come in or not?”, this snapped them back to reality , they both became red as they realised their hug was longer than usual . Blaise walked slowly back down the corridor leaving Jane. She said the password and entered the common room, where she was met with an angry Fred “Where have you been? I thought you were sick but Ginny said you never came into the dormitory”
