B.Z.
It was strange to talk to Blaise Zabini and enjoy having a conversation with him. He was actually a really nice person who just wanted a second chance. We were now siting on the wood table as a seat. When I came down to the kitchen it was 22:08 but now it was 01:53. I have been talking to Blaise for almost 3 hours which me and him both found crazy.
“You know it’s weird. I have no intention of killing you right now.” I said laughing.
“Oi what is that supposed to mean.” He tried to look offended but we both just laughed. “So what do you think about Hogwarts?”
“What do you mean?” I was confused.
“Like if there will be another year and if so who will be invited back and not.” I stayed quiet.
“I honestly haven’t thought of it.”
“I think about it all the time. Hogwarts was my home and I helped destroy it.”
“Not necessarily.” He looked at me in a confused manner. “Yes you may have helped destroy it but you gave information after that has helped the order and the ministry so much. It has made the wizarding world and maybe even the muggle world safer.”
“Maybe but it doesn’t feel like it.”
“Well of course it doesn’t. You are forcing on the bad things and then you tried to do good but in everyone's mind, not just yours, people tend to think about the bad things they do and not the good.” He just smirked. “And for Hogwarts I think it’s happening this year and I think all past students who didn’t finish their education will be invited back.”
“Even Ex-deatheaters?”
“Maybe. I don’t think I would let them not let you guys back. After all, you all help us in the end. You did what you had to do to survive even if you had to kill.”
“I only ever killed one person and it was a muggle who was already about to die.” I looked him in the eyes. He looked at his feet. I was shocked he just told me that. “Someone else already tortured him. I didn’t know how to heal so I decided I would end the pain for him.”
“I know that must have been terrible but it was the best option. I would have probably done the same thing if I was in your shoes.”
“Probably.” I saw him looking at me in the corner of my eye but I pretended not to see that and looked at my hands with little faded scars from the war. “Hermione.” I looked him in the eye with a curious face. “ I need to tell you something that I don’t know how you will react to.” He looked nervous.
“Is this some type of loveconfession?” I said without thinking. Almost instantly he replied.
“Gosh no! Boy I can’t believe you thought that.” He laughed but then soon went back to a serious nervous face. “But what I do have to tell you I don’t know how you will react.”
I looked at him curiously. Did he have another update on the deatheater case? All of a sudden the door flow opened. I installed grabbed my wand and stood up as Blaise did the same thing like a mirror. It was a worker there how had a box of supplies. He was tan and had brown eyes.
Long messy hair and was in a brown uniform. He looked surprised to see us.
“Not again with you kids sneaking out. Go back to your rooms.” He said in an annoyed voice. We didn’t move. “Geez, fine. MS. VILLA THERE ARE PEOPLE IN HERE AGAIN!” He yelled which hurt my ears. Someone instantly came in. It was the nurse.
“Merlin, we have been looking for you two for an hour. Comeon time to go.” She said in a rushed voice. I put my wand in my pocket with Blaise doing the same. We follow her to elevator in silence. We all hopped in. She pressed the buttons to the floors we were on. I looked at Blaise who had a pissed face. He wanted to tell me something but not with someone else also in the room. I somehow knew that. I don’t know how I know I just do. I respect that choice of his but I was dying to know what he wanted to say. The elevator made a sound each time we went to a floor.
Soon the door opened. It was my floor. Shit I want to talk to him. I don’t know when I will be able to next. I was now in front of Blaise.
“Um Granger, just forget what I was trying to say early, it's not that important.” He looked sad.
“Oh, well okay. Good night Blaise. I will try my best with the Hogwarts thing.” I said with a smile. He was surprised I used his actual name.
“Good night Hermione and thank you.” He said in a fake smile. The elevator door closed leaving me in the hallway alone.
