Blaise POV 

As Pansy and I headed back up to where to eighth year common room was I wondered who Longbottom and I would end up with. He's pretty shy from what I know of him, seems like more of a hufflepuff if you ask me although during the battle he was rather brave. He was actually so far rather polite to me, he is a pureblood after all which is good. Maybe he got us a room with other decent people? I doubt it everyone hates me and all the Slytherins anyway I doubt anyone other than him would even talk to me. Then a thought hits me, what if I end up with one of the Gryffindors who started the attack on Draco!? If they did that while there was a teacher present and he would of been able to defend himself what would they do to me when theres not a teacher and I'm fast asleep. My stomach flips and I feel myself place my hand out to the wall.

I feel like I'm gonna throw up and my head is pounding. I feel Pansy rubbing my back asking if I'm okay and I force myself to nod. She hands me a glass of water and after I drink it I start to feel better "Sorry Pans for collapsing like that." I turn to her she scoffs and rolls her eyes 

"No problem, but are you okay Blaise?" 

"Yeah, I just thought what if I get stuck with like, someone who wants to y-you know, k-kill me. For being a-a slyther-slytherin" I gulp thinking of the thought.

"Oh Blaise, if it's that bad i'm sure there will be a spare bed in the Slytherin common room since not many came back. Try to calm down okay. It, it'll be fine, okay?" she said sounding like she was trying to convince herself as well. I just nod and we carry on in silence. Wishing things could of turned out differently.

We open the painting that marks the door way to the common room, and as we step in the whole room which was at first a chatter goes silent and the room stares at us. I scan the room for Neville and silently walk over as Pansy does the same for her partner a random Ravenclaw girl I honestly didn't even know existed. Slowly the chatter resumes and I look down at Neville "Have you chosen our partners yet Longbottom?" He just looks at me confused so I repeat the question. All of a sudden he grabs my arm and yanks me away from the center of the crowd. "What the fuck are you doing Longbottom! Let go of me?!" I tried to struggle away but damn he's actually pretty strong! 

When were out of the crowd just as I'm about to start yelling at him he starts speaking "Sorry I just couldn't hear you over all that noise." He explains. I huff out "Fine. I was asking if you had chosen our partners yet." Please say no, please say no, please say no "Yes." 

My heart sunk. "who?" was all I could say as I stared him straight in the eyes. "Are you okay Blaise, you look upset?" I was shocked. How did he know I was upset, I grew up concealing my emotions I was almost better than Draco. The only people who could tell were Pansy and Draco and here Longbottom, or I guess I should call him Neville was able to see what my family and the rest of Slytherin couldn't. "I'm fine." was all I could say. I looked down at the ground unable to stare into those complex hazel eyes that felt as though they were examining me. "who?" I ask again.

"Well I hope your okay with this but um Harry came up and asked if we could room with him." I freeze for a second and allow this to sink in. Thankfully Neville somehow knows to wait for me before continuing explaining. Harry Potter, the Harry Potter willing wants to be dorm-mates with me! Holy shit, I would be with Draco and Neville agreed to room with Draco too, either these kids are crazy or, I don't even know what! Neville said Harry asked to be with us and I know he and Neville are some-what friends but I saw the other pairings of eighth years. He could of easily gone with His best friend Wesley and the Irish guy but he didn't, which leads me to the only explanation I can think of that is crazy enough as is. Potter's rooming with us for Draco's sake. I blink, no there must be some other explanation. I'll work it out. "I hope that's okay and all?" Neville says braking me free from my thoughts. No-ones looking at us so emotion seeps through "Um yeah, that's, that's actually great." A genuine smile forms on my face thinking about how I'm actually starting to not not-look forward to this year as much. I run a hand through my hair as I think about what has happened today, It's been crazy "I um, thank you Neville. I really appreciate us rooming with them actually," I look away from my shoes at the man in front of me. He just smiles and says "Don't thank me, thank Harry. I was honestly just going to try and room with whoever was left over." I left out a small laugh. The first genuine one ever with someone other than one of my close friends. Neville smiles as well and we head over to Mcgonagall as she calls for already formed group to go over for out dorm number. I will have to tell Draco in the morning about the rooms.

Harry's POV

I was hiding in the corner of the common room as people hurried to sort out sleeping arrangements. I was glad mine had been already sorted and glad I had chosen to room with Neville. We had grown apart over the holidays, I had with nearly everyone but Nev had always been there for me still. I knew I was also glad because I knew Dra- Malfoy would be safe. It wasn't because I cared about him or anything, I mean, we're enemies! It's just that... I don't want his blood on my hands if I was with Ron and Seamus and they killed him... yeah. That's all.

"Anyone who already has their partners sorted please come over here with me for your room number, those who haven't no worries, you have plenty of time." called out Mcgonagall. I headed over to her and saw Nev with Zabini already in the line. I joined in next to them and nodded to both boys. "Hey!" Neville said, "Do you reckon we'll get a good room?" He asked. "I don't know." I honestly shrugged, I looked over to Blaise thinking I should probably include him to show no hostility. Maybe if were nice to them they'll be nice back? "Do you reckon we will?" I asked him. He was stunned, probably from me addressing him before he replied "Maybe, I hope so. I had a shit room in the dungeons." I forced the same smile I had been for weeks and nodded before turning to Mcgonagall as we reached the front of the line. "Room 8, up the stair case." She read on her parchment before we continued past her up the stairs in silence until we came up to a door with a big eight on the front.
