Chapter 18

Draco's POV:

Draco jolts up in his bed and sees Blaise beside him. "When did you get here?"

"Oh, not that long ago. I was going to wake you but Madame Pomfrey wouldn't let me." Blaise sighs.

"Did you talk to Neville about the veritaserum thing?" Draco asks.

"I tried, but it's all Potter's fault that he won't talk to me now." Blaise groans.

"He will apologize to you and I will make him get you back on good terms with Neville." Draco promises.

"He better." Blaise says angrily before popping a bean from yesterday into his mouth.

As if on cue, Harry walks into the hospital wing. "Hey, I just told Hermione to get Neville down here. We need to get the potion out of his system."

Blaise didn't even glance up at Harry but instead rolled his eyes and angrily ate his beans. "Ugh! Really?! Grass?!" Blaise exclaims.

"Hey, uh, Blaise?" Harry says.

"What, golden boy?" Blaise mocks.

"I'm sorry." Harry says, looking straight into Blaise's eyes.

"Yeah, yeah."

Draco smirks, he knows it's the time. "Blaise is just mad because you thought he'd ever even think about hurting his boyfriend."

Blaise shots his head up and gives Draco a glare.

"Boyfriend?" Harry asks with a small smirk on his face as well.

"Well, he wants it to be that way."

"No, I don't! Don't be sick!" Blaise shouts.

"But just the other day you were ranting about how amazing Neville is. How much you just wish-" Draco is cut off by Blaise covering his hand over his mouth.

"He's crazy." Blaise says, struggling against Draco's efforts to push him away.

However, they are both quickly stopped when Hermione comes through the door with a distraught Neville. His hair was a mess and the bags under his eyes were gray.

"Woah, you alright?" Harry asks him.

"No!" Neville exclaims. He stares at the floor for a bit until his breath begins to grow louder and louder and faster and faster. Slow tears began streaming down his face.

Blaise shots up from his chair and rushes towards him, but Neville steps away, avoiding Blaise's touch.

"Neville, it's nothing, they'll forget about it!" Hermione promises.

Neville violently shakes his head, "No, no, no they won't! I've humiliated myself! My life is over!" Neville nearly screams.

"Neville, it's-" Blaise says but is quickly cut off.

"Don't talk to me! You're just here to ruin my life like the rest of them! I don't want to be your friend and I never will want to be your friend!" Neville shouts through tears, "I knew it was all a trick!" Blaise stares at the floor without another word.

"Neville calm down." Harry says calmly.

Everyone was so focused on Neville that only Draco noticed Blaise silently sneak out of the room.

Draco did the only thing he knew to do: follow him. Who cares what Madame Pomfrey would say?

He walked out to see Blaise walking fast towards the steps and he runs towards him.
