Blaise's POV

I didn't even look back at my mother and her new husband when I boarded the train on my way back to Hogwarts for my eighth year. As always I went to the farthest compartment where I was greated with a friendly smile from Pansy Parkinson and a small smirk from Draco Malfoy, my best friends. I put my suitcase in the over head bin and sat down next to Draco as Pansy saw criss crossed on her side of the compartment. "Hey Blaise." Pansy says. "Hi Pansy, Draco." He nods. "Blaise why aren't you changed?" Draco asks me. Damn it, I forgot to change before I got on the train. "I'll be back." I said grunted grabbing my stuff and headed to the bathroom. "Oh Weasle, you're here." I said. I took a step out the door before he spoke. "Zabini, you can stay. I'm almost done anyway." he said buttoning his shirt. I nodded confused but brushed it off and started undressing. "What's it like?" He asked. I stared at him in shock and confusion. "What?" "Being in Slytherin." he clarified. "Nice I guess, we all get along being that we all go though similar things like glares from other houses." I said. Taking of my shirt looking at my chest. It had bruises, cuts, scrapes, burns. Some old some new. I hadn't noticed he was looking before he spoke." Bloody hell Zabini who did that to you?!"He said quickly buttoned my shirt." None of your business Weasley! "I shouted.
" Who. Did. That. To. You!? "He asked again, his tone sounding almost murderous." IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, GO STICK YOUR NOSE IN SOME CHICKEN OR SOMETHING, NOT IN MY BUSINESS!"I shouted, very irritated." I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP!"
He retorted." What's going on in here? " His girlfriend and best friend Harry Potter and Hermione Granger said walking the room." Nothing at all." I huffed through gritted teeth, picking up my bag and storming out, not even one last glance at the carrot head. I slumped angrily in my chair next to Draco and opposite Pansy. They both gave me confused looks before Draco spoke. "Was that you shouting in the bathroom?" he asked in awe. "Might've been." I replied. "What was that even about, and who were you shouting at?" Pansy asked as confused as Draco was. "Weasle." I murmured. They both gave understanding nods, knowing how much the Weasle and I ended up fighting. We hated each other with a passion. "Are you alright though, you look a bit flustered?" Pansy asked.
"Just peachy."

We arrived at Hogwarts a few hours later and I had calmed down by now.
The three of us took our usual places at slytherin table before Professor McGonagall gave her beginning of year speech and we started eating.
I eventually got bored of playing with my food and my eyes scanned the room,unintentionally stopping on a particular carrot head. I took this time to try read him. His eyes were very blue, like the blue you see as the water hits the shore on a sunny day. His freckles were most seen on his fore head, nose and neck. His hair looked very wavy and almost silky as it bounced from side to side as he laughed. He sat with his back slouched as he dove into his chicken, doing his best to pay attention to his Granger.

I hadn't noticed I had been staring so long when Draco shook me out my trance. "Blaise? Blaise! BLAISE!?" He screamed in my ear. I jumped out of my skin ready to slap him then and there but tried my best to resist the urge. "S-sorry. I, zoned out." I mumbled pushing my plate away."If you guys don't mind, I think I'm gonna call it a night." I said standing up and waving my friends goodbye. I was on my way to the common room when I heard a slap. I spun around quickly to see where it came from before pacing to the muffled voices I heard." I still can't believe you Won-Won. You and Granger, you broke my heart." Lavender Brown sobbed. I leaned against the wall and watched in awe. "Lavender, I won't like you and never will now please leave me alone!" he said trying to walk away but instead she grabbed his and and pulled him into a kiss. I don't know why but I ran in to her and stunned her right in the head and she collapsed clutching it whilst crying." Ron are you alright?!"I heard Granger say from afar. "I saw what happened, when she kissed you, and slapped you." She said looking down at the now standing Brown. "I'm fine, let's go Mione." he said taking her hand and leading her away, looking a little shook. They had been so wrapped up in conversation they hadn't noticed me slip out quickly and watch from behind the wall again. The oy question that was sworming through my head as I walked into the common room was. Did he know I punched her, and if he did why didn't he react? I couldn't stop getting those words out my brain and eventually fell asleep.
