Harry Potter One Shots

Gossip (Blaise Zabini)

A/N: Being the quiet ones in the group means you hear a lot of things that you weren't suppose to hear, but it becomes good gossip. (No Voldemort!AU)

3rd POV:
Blaise Zabini and Y/n L/n, 6th years Slytherins. Everyone idolized them, you wanted to be them or be with them. Both came from pureblood families, meeting at balls, and were quite similar. More reserved in groups, classically trained in musical instruments. Majority of the time, you don't know they're sitting in the same room as you.

Though they sometimes become forgotten, being quiet has it's perks. You hear things that weren't meant you, gossip. Blaise and Y/n love gossip, hearing the updates of their classmates relationships and friend problems, becomes good blackmail, but they just use it for their own amusement.

"Look at her." Y/n whispered into Blaise's ear as Ginny Weasley entered the room for the Slug Club with red puffy eyes. "Looks her and lover boy are having problems." She sang.

"Do you think they'll make up?" Blaise looked at his girlfriend.

"Salazar no, girl Weasley has a crush on Potter." Y/n looked the two, the tension had became thick. "Draco won't be happy."

"What do you mean?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Please don't tell me you haven't picked up the clues, Draco has a crush on Potter." Y/n replied.

"No way!" Blaise moved his hand towards his mouth to cover up his laugh. "

"Yes." Y/n smiled. "He'll bring him up in a conversation that doesn't even involve him, I bet you he'll say something about Potter by tomorrow before Potions."

"Butterbeer and chocolate frogs?" Blaise raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." She said.

"Pansy, can you pass me the cream please?" Y/n asked her as their group of friends sat down for breakfast. Pansy watched her friend pour an enormous amount of it into her coffee.

"At this point, you're drinking cream and sugar." Pansy wrinkled his nose when she took a sip.

"Do you know who likes cream in their coffee?" Draco said suddenly. Y/n hid her smirk behind her cup and winked at Blaise.

"Who?" Y/n said innocently pretending she doesn't already know the answer.

"Potter, he came over here the other day asking for our cream because he ran out." Draco said in a state of euphoria. If anyone even mentioned his name in front of Draco, all his worries would go away and he would grow heart eyes.

Y/n looked over to Blaise who just raised an eyebrow at her, his lips slightly turned up. She was right, Draco had a crush on Potter.

"So Hogsmeade this weekend." Y/n teased as they started walking towards Potions.

"Alright." Blaise grabbed her hand and walked into the room. The two of them settled at the back table waiting for Draco, Pansy, Daphne and Theo to join them.

"Good morning class, today we are going to be doing something a bit different. Does anyone know what this potion is right here?" Professor Slughorn asked the class.

"That's amortentia, a love potion. It's smells like the person you are most attracted to. For example, I smell, vanilla, oranges and lavender." Hermione explained. Y/n smirked and looked at Pansy who was now blushing.

"Correct Ms. Granger, so what I want everyone to do is a write a 6 inch essay about the powers of amortentia and what you smell." Slughorn ordered.

"This will be exciting." Blaise whispered to Y/n.

"Exactly." Y/n replied.

For the rest of class, the two of them worked quietly at a separate desk then their friends so they could work in silence but also hear what their classmates were smelling. The two would slowly stop writing to hear what they're saying and seeing if their reaction is good or bad and get back to work.

"Potter is coming." Y/n whispered to Blaise. The both gave the boy his undivided attention when he got up to the cauldron.

"Apples, mint and cologne." Harry whispered outloud hoping it wasn't loud enough for others to hear, but Blaise and Y/n heard him perfectly.

"The feelings mutual." Blaise whispered. Y/n nodded and let the gears in her brain come up with a way to get the two boys together. "You're planning something, I can see the look on your face."

"Whatever do you mean?" Y/n wiped the look off her face to appear innocent.

"You little minx." Blaise muttered and went back to writing his essay.

***

The couple sat in the dungeon on the couch catching up on homework while the rest of their friends we're in their dorm drinking. Y/n had just finished her transfiguration assignment and leaned back on the couch. She watched Blaise continue to finish his and she couldn't help but stare at him. After after being together for two years, Y/n still had butterflies whenever the two were together.

"You look beautiful." She didn't even know the words coming out of her mouth. Blaise stopped what he was doing and looked at his girlfriend, laughing slightly.

"What?" He asked.

"You look beautiful." She repeated.

"Well I think you look beautiful too." Blaise smiled.

"Even after two years together I still get nervous around you." Y/n admitted leaning her head on his shoulder.

"You're just a little romantic aren't you." He kissed the top of her head. "You want to head up for bed, you look tired."

"Yeah." Y/n tried to keep her eyes open.

"Come on than sleeping beauty." Blaise wrapped an arm around her grabbing their bags and going up the stairs towards Y/n's prefect dorm.
