It was Saturday today and Ron was nervous. He didn't even know why he was so nervous for his Hogsmead trip with Blaise but his stomach curled everytime he thought about it. The snow was thick outside and Ron had put on his Quidditch jersey, a maroon overcoat and a pair of dark jeans. His Gryffindor scarf was hanging loosely from his neck and he was quite proud that he had remembered to wear it. After eating breakfast with Harry and Hermione, he started slowly walking to Hogsmead. The air wipped his hair in many directions and he fidgeted with it until it looked pretty untamed, almost like Harry's hair. Just not as bad. Ahead of him, he could see three figures. One of them was wearing platform heels, another was wearing a beanie and the last one was wearing a scarf similar to his, the colour unknown because they were quite far away. Wanting to get a better look at who was in front of him, Ron walked forward until he could hear their voices against the blistering cold wind. "Remember when we all took a bath together that one time when we were five?" Said the voice in heels. Pansy?
"Ah yes, Magical times." Said the voice with the scarf. Draco? "And remember when we would all jump in the fountain and Malfoy Manor hoping we'd become fish?" Said the voice wearing the beanie. Blaise?!
"And remember the time Ronald Weasley snuck up behind you to eavesdrop?"
Ron's Pov
"Blimey We-Ron! Don't scare me like that!" Pansy screamed clutching her heart firmly. "Sorry." I chuckled against my hand. "Where are the others?" Draco asked looking around. "Hermione wanted to get some extra studying in and Harry has a cold." I said, hoping that Harry is doing fine on his own. "Oh, you know what? I think I left something in the castle. Bye!" Draco said hurrying off in the opposite direction. "He's probably going to take care of Harry." Said Pansy smiling. "Yeah, anyway Pansy, Hermione wanted to know if you would like to study with her. She's studying Charms and offered to help you with your Patronus charm." I said wiggling my eyebrows a bit. "Might as well." She said off-handedly but I could see the grin she was trying to hide. "And then there were two." Blaise sighed and I chuckled. "So, what did you want to do today?" I asked him and he pondered the question. "How about Honeydukes, then the Three Broomsticks?" He said and I smiled. "Perfect."
Blaise and I walked into Honeydukes and watched as the students and locals bustled around the store. I immediately went over to the Chocolate Frogs. I looked at the price and frowned. 3 Galleons each. I fished my hand inside my pockets. I only had a few Sickles. Blaise came up to me from behind, putting his hands on my shoulders to let me know that he was there before standing next to me.
"What's the matter?" He said. I blushed before patting my pocket. "I-uh, don't-erm. I don't have enough money, so you can get what you need to and we can go get some Butterbeer." I said smiling, trying to hide my embarrasment. Blaise chuckled before taking twenty Chocolate Frogs and putting them in a packet. He payed for them before we left the store."Here." He said handing me the packet of frogs. "What am I supposed to do with this?" I asked, baffled as to why he gave it too me. "Too keep it of course." He said as if it were obvious. I furrowed my eyebrows before opening my mouth to speak. "Bu-"
"No 'buts' Weasley. They're yours now," he said before walking ahead of me towards The Three Broomsticks. I blinked a few times before running to catch up with him. "Thank you." I mumbled and he smiled sincerely at me. We entered the The Three Broomsticks and sat down at a table in the corner. Madam Rosmerta skipped towards us with a notebook in her hand. "Ah, Ron, son! How's it been, I didn't see you last year, how's your mother?" She said and I smiled up at her. "We've been doing fine Madam, I hope all is well with you?" I said politely and she chuckled.
"How many times do I have to tell you. It's Rose, none of they Madam stuff alright. Anyway, who's this handsome fella you've got with you?" She grinned turning to Blaise. "Blaise Zabini, Madam." Blaise said shaking her hand in which she pulled him in for a hug instead. "Rose darling, and it's nice to meet you Blaise. What can I get you kids?" She asked and Blaise ordered a glass of Butterbeer while I took out my special flask. "You didn't tell me you knew her." Blaise said as she left. "Yeah, before the war Harry, Hermione and I would come here often." I told him and he nodded. "I've actually never been here, this is my first time." He said and I stared at him in shock. "Yeah, neither has Pansy, Draco's been here once before though." He said looking around the pub. "Yeah, we saw him actually." I said laughing a little. "That must have been awkward." He laughed and I pushed his arm. "You know, now that I think about it. We don't know much about each other except for the basics." He said and this sparked my attention. "True. How about we take turns in asking each other questions?"
I asked and he nodded happily. "Ok, what is your full name?" He asked and I blushed. "Ronald Bilius Weasley." I mumbled and he laughed.
"Stop laughing! What about you then, what's your full name?" I retorted and he rolled his eyes playfully. "Blaise Bellinor Zabini." He said proudly and I chuckled. "Ok, where are you from?"
I asked and he looked at me funny. "Can you not tell from the way I speak?" He inquired and I shook my head. The only accent I ever heard in his voice was British. "I must have grown out of it. Anyway, I'm Italian."
He said which shocked me quite a bit.
"Favourite colour?" He asked. "Red, it's quite obvious. You? " I said and he nodded. "Yellow." He answered. We kept playing until we lost complete track of it and started talking about everything and nothing. Our families, our childhoods, our past, our problems, our likes and dislikes, pretty much everything you could think off. And let me just say I haven't laughed like I have today in a while and it was..........refreshing.
I really like spending time with Blaise, I just wish our day together didn't have to end so quickly....
