Harry had to tell Ron and Hermione about Blaise. Hermione was so happy for him and even if Ron wasn't the biggest fan of slytherins he accepted it and was happy his best friend was happy.

Hermione was still having a hard time with Ron and Lavander. She started hanging out with Blaise and Harry in the library from time to time. Blaise apologised to her, he knew it was going to take some time to get her to forgive him but it was a start. Besides he didn't want to be on bad terms with his boyfriend's almost sister. One just couldn't have that.

"who are you taking to the party Granger?" there was going to be a party for the Slug Club and that weekend. Blaise and Harry were obviously going to go together.

Hermione sighed, "I got a date, you'll see who it is that day."

Harry frowned, "you don't sound happy about it."

Hermione shook her head. Blaise huffed, "Why does Romilda Vane keep looking at Harry?"

"she wants Harry because she thinks he's the chosen one." Hermione explained.

Harry grinned, "but I am the chosen one."

Blaise huffed with jealousy and Hermione hit Harry with a parchment. Harry frowned, "sorry."

Hermione gathered her things, "I have to go, promised ginny I'd help her with something. Oh and Harry, you better be more careful, some girls want to trick you into going with them instead of Blaise."

Blaise didn't like the sound of that, can't they leave his boyfriend alone? Harry shot him a comforting look, Blaise sighed and nodded.

They all said goodbye. Blaise pulled Harry's chair closer once she was done, "can we go to the slytherin common room?"

Harry chuckled. "Is it because you're jealous?"

Blaise kissed his cheek, "that and Dray needs to tell you something important."

Harry examined his face, "what?"

Blaise repeated himself, he really did need for Harry to know so they could continue this relationship. "let's go then" Harry said, he could see Blaise was worried and as a good boyfriend he should help him.

They walked hand in hand to the slytherin common room ignoring all the stares they got. Once they got there, Blaise took Harry to his room where Draco was. Draco looked at them nervously. Blaise shut the door behind them and him and his boyfriend sat down on his bed. "you needed to tell me something?" Harry asked.

Draco looked over at Blaise for confirmation, Blaise nodded so he looked back at Harry. "I need your help."

Harry looked at him shocked, Malfoy had just asked him for help. "with what?"

Draco took a deep breath, "he wants me to kill and bring bad guys here." There was no going back now. "I don't want to be a killer Potter."

Harry examined him for a moment, "how do I know you're not lying to me?"

Draco stood up and went to his suitcase, "I stole this from my father." He showed him a vial of Verita Serum, "Don't tell anyone." he sat back down and drank a bit.

Harry nodded and asked him questions to which Draco responded truthfully. He sighed, "Fine I'll help you but I need to tell Dumbledore. I promise you that we will keep you and your family safe."

Blaise grinned, "well now that you know, candy?" he took out the muggle candy and gave esch a life saver.

Draco looked at him weird. "Potter spit that out and drink this." he handed him the vial of the truth serum. Harry reluctantly did what Draco asked him to do. "do you like Blaise?"

"obviously."

"put the candy back in you mouth." Harry did so and they waited for a minute. "now try to lie, do you like Blaise?"

"No." Harry lied.

The three of them gasped. "Potter I think that muggle candy can help us if we're ever under this potion. Could you maybe get some more?"

Harry nodded. "we still have a problem. He can get into my head, my thoughts and I can't really stop him."

Blaise grabbed his hand, "Dray is an expert at the counter spell. You help us and we'll help you."

Harry smiled at his boyfriend. Draco groaned, "gross. I'm going to see what Pans is up to and give you two some space." he quickly stood up and left.

Blaise rolled his eyes playfully then he looked back at Harry. "thank you, you truly are amazing."

Harry squeezed his hand, "I'm glad to help."

Blaise leaned in placing a hand on Harry's cheek to pull him in for a kiss. Harry melted immediately at his touch letting his worried subside. Blaise pulled Harry down with him until they were laying side by side. Harry let his head seek comfort in the other's neck and sighed happily. "I can see why the other slytherins find you comforting." He laughed at his own comment and kissed his neck.

Balaie didn't know how to respond. His brain was focused on the breath and lips he felt on his neck. He wanted to stay like this forever and have everything bad disappear but he knew what was likely to happen was that they were going to end up separated. No, he couldn't think like that. Harry was going to keep them safe since he was the chosen one.

"are you alright Blaise? You're squeezing me a bit." Harry noted in a worried tone.

"sorry." Blaise said.

Harry looked up at him, "what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"

Blaise quickly shook his head, "No, just promise me that even if we're forced to fight om separate sides that we'll still be protecting each other."

Harry pecked his lips, "you have nothing to worry about. Everything will turn out fine in the end."

That night when Harry got back to his dorm he found Ron eating some chocolates that were on his bed. "Harry I think I'm in love."

Harry nodded, "that's great Ron. Surely Lavander feels the same."

Ron shook his head, "I'm in love Harry."

It suddenly hit Harry, "Merlin Ron how many did you eat?" Ron only giggled. "come with me."

"are you taking me to meet her?"

Harry nodded taking his hand and pulling him up, "yep, that's exactly what I'm doing. Come on."

Harry hurriedly took him to Slughorn. The professor opened his door letting the teens in. He gave Ron an antidote. Ron didn't want to drink it so they convinced him it was a tonic for the nerves so he wouldn't embarrass himself in front of the girl. Ron finally accepted the drink.

The professor offered them some oak matured mead. Harry politely declined but Ron accepted and took a nice big sip. Shortly after they saw that Ron had been poisoned. Harry quickly shoved a bezoar down his throat saving him.

It had been a really tough day for Ron.
