Harry was a nervous wreck by the next night. He was nervous about snogging Blaise and what this might prove. Ron was concerned with Harry\'s health, given that Harry had not told Ron what he was doing that night.

\"Harry, mate, you might want to go see Madam Pomfrey,\" Ron suggested upon seeing the ashen color of Harry\'s face. Harry shook his head, not trusting his mouth, or stomach for that matter. Ron gave him a troubled look but left him alone.

Harry sat for as long as he could in the common room. When he couldn\'t take it anymore, he told Ron he was going to bed. Ron agreed readily because of his appearance and didn\'t question it. Harry retreated to the dormitory, where he did not go to bed. Instead, he rummaged through his trunk until he found his invisibility cloak. At 10 to midnight he slipped unnoticed out the portrait hole.

He walked quickly towards the Astronomy tower, his heart beating faster with every step. He finally made it to the tower, and he saw the shadow of a person leaning casually against a pillar, waiting. By now he was absolutely terrified and seriously considered just turning around and hiding in his bed.

He took a deep breath. No, I\'m a Gryffindor, we aren\'t cowards, it\'s going to be fine. He gave himself a mini pep-talk He approached Blaise and took off the cloak while still out of viewing range. He stepped into the moonlight and Blaise turned his head and looked at him.

\"Well, well, Potter, I wasn\'t sure you were going to turn up,\" Blaise drawled. Harry looked at his watch, it was ten past midnight. He shrugged, and Blaise pushed himself off of the pillar and came closer to Harry. Harry instinctively took a step backward and Blaise smirked at him. \"Not scared are you, Potter?\" He asked in mock concern.

Harry scowled and shook his head.

\"Don\'t worry, I won\'t bite...much,\" Blaise smirked still harder and Harry was a bit unnerved. His already pounding heart was threatening to burst out of his chest. He was positive Blaise could hear it from where he was, five feet away.

Harry shook himself mentally. You have to do this! He told himself. You have to know!

\"Alright, Zabini, let\'s get this over with,\" Harry said. Blaise rolled his eyes and moved closer to Harry.

\"Have you ever kissed anyone, Potter?\" he asked.

Harry furrowed his eyebrows. \"How is that relevant?\" he asked.

Blaise smirked again. \"Well, I need to know how much experience you have,\" he replied easily and Harry was silent for a moment, deciding the best course. In the end, he decided if he wanted to get the most out of this, he\'d best be honest.

\"Only two people,\" He said quietly and Blaise\'s smirk turned into a sly grin.

\"And those would be...?\" He ventured. Harry glared at him; there was no need to pry.

\"Cho and...\" Harry really didn\'t want to disclose the second person, especially not to Blaise.

\"And...?\" Blaise fished. Harry blushed and answered to his shoes.

\"Malfoy.\" Blaise stared open-mouthed at Harry in amusement and shock.

\"Draco!? Oh, I bet he loved that! I wish I\'d seen that!\" Blaise exclaimed and started laughing. Harry scowled at him and was getting angrier by the second. Blaise finally pulled himself together and sobered up. \"Okay, Potter, we can do this. But just so you know, I am no Draco substitute.\"

\"I don\'t want Malfoy!\" Harry yelled, enraged that so many people thought that. Blaise rolled his eyes but didn\'t respond to the statement. Harry scowled again. If he did this anymore, his face would be stuck like this.

Blaise moved closer to Harry, and he was forcefully reminded of why he was here. All thoughts of Draco flew out of his head, replaced by fear once again. Blaise looked at Harry and decided that the clinical approach would be best for someone of his status.

\"Stand here, Potter.\" He directed Harry to stand against the wall. Harry did so slowly and unwillingly. \"Alright, now I\'m going to kiss you. No tongue, is that okay?\" He asked, while positioning himself in front of Harry. Harry swallowed his heart and nodded, scared to death.

Blaise leaned in softly and brushed his lips against Harry\'s. Harry was pleased to find he didn\'t hate it, but it wasn\'t like his kiss with Draco either. This was soft and not forceful as he\'d done earlier. Blaise pulled back and surveyed Harry.

He still looked like a deer caught in the headlights but a little better. Harry felt a weight lift as Blaise leaned back.

\"How was that?\" Blaise asked. Harry thought for a second.

\"It was okay...\" he said slowly and Blaise nodded.

\"This time, I want you to open your mouth a little,\" Blaise told him. Harry gave him a nervous look and Blaise nodded encouragingly.

He leaned in for a second time and their lips touched again. This time, Blaise slipped his tongue in Harry\'s open mouth. His tongue mapped out Harry\'s mouth. Harry thought the sensation felt a little strange at first, but he found that he liked it. Blaise nipped Harry\'s lower lip, a signal for Harry to kiss back.

Harry responded slowly and found it was much more enjoyable this way. Blaise pushed his body closer and deepened that kiss even more. Harry moaned a little as Blaise\'s tongue massaged his own. Blaise broke the kiss slowly and stepped back from Harry, a smirk firmly in place.

Blaise visibly glanced down Harry\'s body, noting the bulge in his jeans.

\"Looks like you\'re as gay as the rest of us, Potter,\" He said smirking and vanished down the stairs, leaving Harry with his little problem.
