Secret Admirers - 1/2

"No, Blaise, for the last time I do not like her! You can do this by yourself," Draco Malfoy insisted.

"Come on, there's no way you don't like her," the Italian boy argued.

"We hate each other," Draco said knowing it was a weak excuse.

"That's just sexual tension," Blaise said with a wave of his hand.

"No. It is not just sexual tension. I do not fancy Hermione Granger," the Blond deadpanned.

"Yeah and I don't like Ginny Weasley," Blaise said sarcastically.

It was a Saturday afternoon when the two Slytherin's were talking in a secluded area of the library. They trying to find a solution to a problem Blaise brought to attention. He has had a crush on Ginny Weasley for quite a few years now and with the war over, he decides it's time to do something about it.

Obviously, Blaise can't simply go up to her and ask her out on a date, she'd reject him without a second thought. So his best friend Draco has been trying to help solve his dilemma. Eventually they decided it's be best for her to get to know him without knowing it's him. Like being her secret admirer.

"Listen, Blaise, I know you're nervous and all that but what you're suggesting is just crazy. Me, Draco Malfoy, being Hermione Granger's secret admirer just so you can be Weaslette's?" The blond boy said.

"Please," Blaise begged, "just send her some chocolates and other things girls like, Merlin knows you have enough money, oh and send her a love letter but don't sign it with your name."

"I'm telling you, this is a bad idea," Draco told his friend trying to get out of this situation.

"Tell you what, if she doesn't reply to your letter or any of your gifts within two weeks, then you don't have to send her anything else," Blaise bargained.

"Why do you want me to so badly?" Draco asked.

"Granger is Ginny's best friend, if they're both getting all this stuff then that's definitely going to spike their curiosities. Besides, if I don't get you to do this with me, you'll never do it on your own and I might loose my nerve," Blaise explained embarrassed at his vulnerable state.

There was a long pause before the Malfoy heir finally cracked with a large sigh, causing the Italian Slytherin to perk up. "Fine but you owe me," he said caving in.

"You got it," Blaise said nodding vigorously without hesitation. Even though it can be dangerous to owe something to a Slytherin, even if you're a Slytherin yourself, he believe it to be more than worth it if it means he can get the girl.

The two boys decided that they'd each send their first items by that night.

The evening at dinner, two girls sat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall oblivious to what the two Slytherin boys had done. So, they ate their food and chatted with each other and their mutual friends.

"I still can't believe its our last year here," Hermione Granger said solemnly.

"Neither can I, this is my home," Harry Potter said from his spot across from her.

"Are you kidding? No homework, no exams, no nosy Professors on our backs, and we get to have our own place. This is bloody exciting!" Ron Weasley disagreed from beside the boy-who-lived.

"Ron!" His sister abolished, reminding the four of the motherly Molly Weasley and making the redheaded boy cower.

"Its alright Ginny, it is exciting to be able to start our adult lives, I'm just going to miss this school," Hermione admitted.

"We have been through a lot here," Harry said reminiscing the past.

"Oi look, its the owl post!" Ron said nervously trying to direct the attention elsewhere while Ginny continued to glare at him.

"I hope there's no more fan mail," Harry groaned and the others laughed.

But what was dropped by the four was quite a surprise for all of them. There was a rather large box of chocolates with a fancy envelope attached that was attached that dropped in front of Ginny. They all looked at the box in awe of how large it was but as the girl was about to open it another package arrived, but it wasn't for the red headed girl. Instead a good sized bouquet of lilies was what dropped and it was right in front on Hermione Granger.

Gasps came from both of the girls as they examined their gifts while the two boys sitting on the other side of them felt a growing feeling of protectiveness and possibly a hint of jealousy. Both from their complicated pasts with the two women but also for their lack of gifts, even though they did both receive a few letters of fan mail.

"What on earth.." Hermione muttered. "Stargazer lilies are my favorite flower, how did they.." she started to say but trailed off when she found an envelope inside the flowers.

"There's so many different kinds...oh this is wonderful....I love this kind!" The youngest Weasley began saying.

"Gin," Hermione said to get her attention while holding up her envelope. Ginny stopped talking to look to find her friend holding an envelope, she then held up her own envelope without a word.

Before the two could open the piece of parchment, Ron snatched up Hermione's letter and started to open it.

"Ronald! What are you doing?" The brunette demanded.

But as he opened his mouth to answer the letter shocked him making him yelp in surprise and it flew back into Hermione's hands. While the girl looked at her letter in confusion, Ginny and Harry were both laughing as they watched the boy turn a dark purple.

"Wha-what's happening to me?" Ron said starting to panic at the color change.

"It must have a hex on the bag so no one else would open it," Hermione guessed with a smile before looking up and trying to contain her laughter as Ron hurriedly left the Great Hall in embarrassment.

The students all around the Hall were silent as they watched the boy run out but it barely took any time at all for them to roar with laughter. Especially one blond haired Slytherin across the Hall who had a feeling this would happen.

"Nice one mate," Blaise praised his friend quietly enough no one else could hear.

"That weasel is too nosy for his own good," Draco commented.

"So why lilies?" The Italian boy asked.

"It's her favorite," the Malfoy heir said without a second thought.

"What? How do you know what her favorite flower is?" Blaise asked confused.

"I just overheard her tell Weaslette," Draco said grabbing some more food.

"Don't like Granger my ass," Blaise muttered to himself causing Draco to kick him painfully from under the table.

"You want to be next?" Draco threatened but Blaise simply shook his head believing it was an empty threat.

"Whatever, but look, they're about to read them," the Italian pureblood said quietly but excitedly.

"Ok, I don't know about you 'Mione but I have to know who did this," Ginny said ready to tear into her letter.

"With what happened to Ron, I think it might be better to open them in the girls dormitories," Hermione suggested.

"I guess..." Ginny said with a pout before perking up. "Do you think their love letters? Maybe it'll sing to us. What if they're from the same person?" And her questions went on and on until the girls were in their shared dormitory.
