Chapter 68

Mix of Feelings

~Blaise Zabini~

                "Where's Potter?" Lilith asked Malfoy who had just arrived in the Slytherin table. Why the bloody hell are they talking about that Potter?

                My eyes were set in the entrance of the Great Hall waiting for her to enter, I waited for her outside but Lilith told me to go in for the sorting ceremony had begun. "What you looking at Zabini?" Lilith asked, or teased rather. I let out a sigh and still starred at the entrance to see if she would enter.

                "She's still not here." I said worriedly as I glanced to Hufflepuff table and didn't see her there.

                "You really like her don't you?" Lilith asked in a serious tone, I turned to her with a shock expression. Does she really need to know everything?

                "Yeah..." I answered as I looked down to the golden plate in front of me as my fingers played with the rim of my goblet. "I don't know how to deal with this, Sephitis...I've never felt this thing to someone before..." I said quietly, I didn't know why I said that but I really need to get it off my chest. Lilith gave me a pat in the back and uttered.

                "You do know she has someone right?" said Lilith, I looked at her as a pain struck my chest.

                "Had, Lilith...it's had...they had bro —" I started but when I glanced back to her, she was giving me a look that I immediately understood. I looked at her feeling defeated before uttering once again. "Okay fine, I don't care anymore whenever a chance or not, Lilith." I uttered quietly as a smile slowly appeared in my lips as my head shot up to look at her. "I'll always be there for her whenever she needs me...." I proudly said and this bloody woman decided to ruin everything for me.

                "When she needs you?" she asked as she let out a chuckle. "And when the bloody hell is that?" she added and let out a loud laugh, good thing the Great Hall was loud enough for the other students not to look at her looking weirded out.

                "You really know how to bloody ruin a moment don't you, Sephitis?" I uttered and she gave me a wink as we heard the Great Hall's doors open and close in a thud. My eyes quickly flew to the entrance and there I saw Agape with Potter and that girl from Ravenclaw, Draco's cousin Luna Lovegood

                Potter was bleeding, what a nice view. My gaze drifted to Agape who stopped in front of the Gryffindor's table but turned to the Hufflepuff's table and sat with the other Hufflepuff. I looked back to Draco who Lilith was glaring at. "What?" he asked as we both looked at him. "He bloody deserved it." He added, I shook my head as I laugh at him.

                "He's covered in blood again, why is it he's always covered in blood?" I head Ginny ask as Luna and I escorted Harry to the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall.

                "Thank you, Luna and Agape." Harry thanked us both, I looked at Hermione who smiled at me and nodded.

                "Where've you — blimey, what've you done to your face?" asked Ron, goggling at Harry along with everyone else in the Gryffindor table.

                "Here let me help you, Harry." I said and Harry turned to me and looked up to me. "Tergeo!" I said as I raised my wand and siphoned off the dried blood on his nose.
