Storms Ahead

|Chapter Eighty nine : Other Friends|

"You are the wildest, most gorgeous thing I've ever seen. Nobody deserves you"

"Blaise?" I asked quietly as I watched him look away from the mirror as I leant against the frame of the bathroom door with an amused and slightly concerned look as he raised an eyebrow at me

"Yes?"

"Were you?-"

"Stop judging me Lia"

"I'm trying... and failing..."

"Shut up"

"Blaise?"

"What?" He asked while walking past me as I went to open my mouth, not being able to get the words out as I suffered from silent laughter, looking at him with a grin after he had turned around as he crossed his arms over his chest, trying his best to not let a smile grow on his face

"You're crazy"

"Well then I guess that means that I can't hide it very well"

"I don't think you were trying that hard"

"Wow, thank you"

"No problem"

"That is your most used sentence"

"What?"

"That's your most used word"

"Is it fuck-"

"I change my answer-"

"I'd fucking hope so-"

"I change both of my answers" he cut across me as we both shared a laugh

"Remember the girls come back today"

"How could I forget? I'll no longer get to sleep in a silent dorm"

"You missed them-"

"Of course I fucking did" I cut across him laughing as I took the seat at his desk, spinning around before stopping and looking at him as he dumped himself down onto his bed

"I've always meant to ask, have you got friends outside of Hogwarts?"

"A couple"

"Oh yeah? Who?"

"Well, I've spoke about Aaron obviously. I haven't seen Ruby or-"

"Ruby? Who's that?"

"She used to live a little bit away from me. Went around to hers one day and she and her whole family had just up and left through the night, didn't even say. She was amazing too, absolutely hilarious, gorgeous not going to lie, such a talented musician as well"

"Muggle?"

"No, halfblood"

"Anyone else?"

"Well there was Ben Everton-"

"Who's that?"

"That's a story for another time. There was also LJ"

"Who was that?"

"He was my neighbour, I had a crush on him at one tiny point in my life. He up and left too, in the middle of the night about a week before Ruby. I was ditched"

"Bloody hell. You should go punch them"

"I would. Only if I knew where they were"

"Is there anybody else?"

"There's Amina. I'm still friends with her, we train at the same club, I've known her for years. You'd like her-"

"Oh I'm sorry! But you ask for my advice then do the opposite!"

"But that's because your advice sucks!"

"Then why ask for it?!"

"Who else was I going to ask? Blaise?!"

"That'll be the girls"

"Who else would it be?" Blaise asked with a slight sigh as we both stood up, leaving the door as we watched from the top of the steps amused as Pansy and Daphne struggled to pick their trunks up while Millicent disappeared down to the dorm

"I wonder how long it will take them to figure this out"

"Clearly a century"

"Clearly- you two realised we could hear you from down in the dorm, right?" I called laughing as they turned to us, grinning as we went over and I instantly dodged their hugs before letting out a laugh and hugging them both

"I'm sorry for leaving you alone with Blaise"

"Oh but you missed it!"

"Missed what?...."

"I broke Malfoy's nose" I told the two happily as Pansy started laughing, Daphne lifting her head and staring at me as I winked at her before stepping back

"Well, I'll let you two try to figure this mess out. If you'll excuse me, I'm going for a walk"
