Chapter 22

Blaise's POV:

"Lovegood!" Blaise shouts, running towards her in a sprint. Luna turns around with a calm expression as Blaise stops in front of her, breathing heavily. "I need... your... help." He breathes out.

"What's wrong?" Luna asks calmly. "Is everything alright?"

"What? No, everything is fine... I need your help with something else." Blaise says.

"Ok. What is it?" Luna asks.

"Uh... well... First of all, I want a promise." Blaise says. Luna simply looks at him with her eyebrow raised, so he continues. "I want you to promise that nothing we speak about is repeated." Blaise says.

"Will do. Just so long as it isn't anything that is dangerous." Luna says with a smile.

"Good. So... We-well um..."

"Don't be nervous, just come out and say it." Luna reassures.

"What are some things Neville might want for Christmas?" Blaise blurts out.

Luna suddenly smirks at him, "Neville, huh?"

"Just answer me!" Blaise cries urgently.

She chuckles softly, "Well, I'm sure you know by now that he loves herbology. He also loves these cookies my friend Hunter made him. He is a Hufflepuff, by the way, if you wish to ask him for the cookies."

"Is that all?" Blaise asks.

"Yeah, well... at least for me. Harry might be able to help more." Luna says.

"Good. Thanks!" Blaise says, running away and towards the great hall to find Harry.

He runs into the great hall, only to notice that most eyes were on him, some giggling and some gazing in disgust and dissapproval, at least that's what it looked like. Yet, he was filled with confusion. Why was everyone looking at him. Then, he caught sight of Neville who was right in front of Hannah Abbott, being one of the few not looking up at him, other than Draco and Harry. He was scratching his neck and staring down at his plate with a look of defeat.

Draco then looks up at Blaise and shakes his head. Blaise looks at him in curiousity. He catches sight of Pansy who is smirking at him from afar.

He could notice hesitation from Draco as he stalks towards him, grabs his arm and pulls him away from the Great Hall.

"What did you say to Pansy?" Draco asks.

"Nothing! Just that she shouldn't have given you the potion!" Blaise says.

"Well apparently you said something because she told everyone that you have a crush on me." Draco informs.

Blaise gags, "Eww!"

"Gee, thanks!" Draco rolls his eyes.

"Why in the world would she think that?"

"Well, she says that you told her." Draco says.

"No she didn't!" Blaise exclaims, "That's what her little smirks were for?! I honestly suspected that she knew I had a 'thing' for Neville. I didn't expect her to think it was you." He sighs in exhaustion.

"Next time just... don't talk to Pansy anymore." Draco says.

"Trust me, I won't." Blaise promises.

Harry's POV:

It didn't take sense, none of it made sense! Draco said that Blaise liked Neville, right? Not Draco! Then again, Slytherins are great actors and Blaise has been around Draco a lot lately, almost non-stop. But, it didn't matter. After all, he didn't care about Draco like that. He hated him! That kiss meant nothing and they both know it. It was all just some freak mistake. Besides, if Harry did happen to act on these so-called feelings of his, Draco would most likely use it for his personal gain anyway. All Slytherins do that. So why on Earth was he moping around in the library with Draco Malfoy raiding his every thought?
