Who Are You?

Author's Note: Thanks for reading and reviewing! Sorry for the long wait. Hope you like it!

"Harry! Over here!" shouted Blaise from the Slytherin table.

"Hey," said Harry, shyly. Everyone had turned to stare at the two, shocked by the oddness of the event.

Blaise started to eat his breakfast, while talking to Harry between mouthfuls. This caused an over spray of food to fly out of Blaise's mouth and onto the person who had just sat down opposite him.

"Blaise! What the hell? Close your mouth when you eat!" yelled Draco, going red with anger. He got up and stormed off to the bathroom to wash up.

Blaise laughed. "Draco's hilarious," he said to Harry. "Now what was I saying again?"

"You swapped partners for the Potions assignment?"

"Oh yes. I talked it over with Professor Snape and he let me swap with Draco. I'm now your partner!" explained Blaise excitedly.

"That's good. I'd rather have you as a partner than Malfoy," said Harry, relieved. He was still confused about Draco's actions over the past few days.

"So, when would you like to start the assignment?" asked Blaise.

"How about this evening? It's the first day of the holidays after all, so we don't have to wake up early for class tomorrow," replied Harry.

"It's a date."

Later that afternoon, Draco and Blaise were playing chess in their common room.

"I heard that you and Potter are having a study date later," said Draco, trying to sound casual.

"Yep. I think I'm going to tell him I like him."

Draco felt a stab in his heart, but didn't recognise the feeling. "I must have eaten too little at lunch," he thought.

"How do you think he's going to respond?" asked Draco.

"I don't know. I hope well. The Hogsmeade weekend is coming up and I hope I have someone to go with."

"But you always go with me!" said Draco, a bit too loudly. The other people in the common room stared, confused, and left quickly, thinking they were about to witness a lovers' quarrel.

"I'm sure you can come with me and Harry," said Blaise, smiling, lost in his dream world. "You could end the feud you have with him, just like what you were telling me you thought of doing."

"Yeah, sure," answered Draco, rolling his eyes.

They played game after game until it was time for Blaise to leave.

Harry stumbled into the library, earning himself a glare from Madam Pince. He muttered an apology and walked quickly to the table where Blaise sat.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered. "Forgot the time. I was playing Quidditch with Ron until it started to get dark. Sorry!"

"Don't worry about it. How can I be angry to that face?" said Blaise. To this, Harry blushed.

"I already got a head start on our assignment. Here's a list on all the potions we can choose from..."

They worked efficiently until Madam Pince came to their table, telling them the library was going to close.

"How about I walk you to your common room?" asked Blaise, politely.

"Thanks. I hate walking alone so late at night."

They walked in silence until the Fat Lady portrait was in sight. Blaise, noticing that, pulled Harry into an alcove, avoiding the eye of the Fat Lady.

"Harry, I want to tell you something," said Blaise nervously.

"What is it Blaise?"

"Um...IlikeyoualotanddoyouwantocometoHogsmeadewithme?" stammered Blaise.

"Sure," answered Harry, smiling. "I'll meet you in the entrance of the Great Hall."

"Okay," said Blaise, shocked, but delighted. Harry gave him a peck on the cheek and went into the Gryffindor common room.

Blaise lifted his hand to feel where Harry had kissed him. He smiled and skipped the whole way back to the Slytherin common room, excited for that weekend, when he and Harry were going to have their first date.
