"You can't just not sit with us" said Pansy.
"I can, and will" said Ivory continuing to walk until she sat alone.
Ivory sat and thought of what had happened the past few years, that had brought her to the point she now was with herself. All the regret and the feelings, she'd aimed not to do this to herself yet she was.
"What's going on anyway, that you won't be here" said Pansy demanding an explanation from Draco.
"I said, I might not" said Draco.
"Alright, on to other matters…so why aren't you and Ivory talking" asked Blaise.
"That's really none of your business, now is it Blaise" asked Draco.
"You two grew up together, a lot of us thought you cared about her" said Blaise.
"Well maybe you should think more about it" said Draco.
"Answer the question Draco" said Pansy.
Draco was slightly annoyed with the lack of control he now had over the two people sitting across from him.
"One of us realized that we surely should never have been friends in the first place" said Draco.
"Doesn't sound like was Ivory" said Pansy.
"Sounds like you were being a jerk" said Blaise.
"Well that's how it played out" said Draco.
Blaise looked at Draco questionably, but decided to forget about it.
"I can see why she wouldn't talk to you" said Pansy.
"Clue me in" said Draco.
"If you weren't such an insensitive bastard, perhaps you would've gotten somewhere" said Pansy.
Blaise was very amused by what Pansy had said, and a small smile came over his face. Then he began to laugh quietly while looking downward.
"Amused Blaise" asked Draco.
Blaise cleared his throat, and looked toward Draco.
"We'll just see who's laughing in the end" said Draco.
Soon after the train stopped they began to leave, Blaise exited followed by Pansy and Ivory.
"So what did happen" asked Blaise as they loaded into the wagon.
"If she wanted to tell us then she would" said Pansy taking the seat next to Blaise.
Ivory sat on the opposite side of them, and then the wagon began to move.
"Not saying you shouldn't tell us, I mean you should…however you don't have to, but some recommend you talk to others about your problems" said Pansy.
"You really want to know" asked Ivory.
"Yes" said Pansy.
It was a long story, but she wasn't sure she wanted to tell anyone yet.
"We just ended on a bad note, ok" said Ivory.
"Like literally a note or just a talk that ended badly" asked Pansy.
"Pansy" said Blaise.
"What" asked Pansy looking at Blaise.
"No, not literally" said Ivory.
Draco walked silently with Snape, not wanting to talk right that moment. How things went through fifth year were bothering him. Things had ended in anger and hatred, and between him and a certain light brown skinned, grey eyed, black haired girl it was a little worse.
"Any thoughts, Draco" asked Severus.
"What" asked Draco.
"On how you'll fulfill the mission" asked Severus.
"Of course I do, why wouldn't I" asked Draco.
"I can tell you're thinking of something other than your mission" said Severus.
"I'm focused, ok" said Draco his voice raising slightly.
"If you need help" began Severus.
"I don't need your help" said Draco.
"Are you planning on eating, or are you just going to read that book" asked Sev.
"I'm not hungry" said Ivory.
"Is something wrong" asked Pansy.
At times Pansy could be caring or compassionate, but at this time it sounded as if there was more concern in her coice.
"No, I'm fine" said Ivory giving a small smile and then it vanishing from her face.
Pansy and Blaise both turned to the direction she was looking in. Draco was sitting down, and looking toward her. Pansy and Blaise looked at Ivory, who had gone back to reading.
"Pansy, Blaise' said Draco.
"Draco" said Pansy and Blaise.
"Sev" said Draco.
"Draco" said Sev.
"Something upsetting you Ivory" asked Draco.
"Your presence annoys me" said Ivory plainly, and continuing to read her book.
"Ouch" said Sev then facing the front.
After Dumbledore had finished speaking they began to walk to the Slytherin Dungeons.
"You couldn't have said "Hi Draco, how are you doing" asked Pansy.
"Then again we don't know what happened" said Blaise.
"Can I talk to you for a second" asked Draco not waiting for an answer and pulling her to the side.
"What" asked Ivory.
"I know you felt something" said Draco.
"Leave me alone" said Ivory.
"Admit it" said Draco.
"You said it was a mistake, and I agreed completely" said Ivory.
"Shouldn't I get some sort of decision with what happens between us" said Draco.
"Not after what happened" said Ivory pulling away from him, and beginning to walk away.
"5th year still affecting you" asked Sev.
"Yes" said Draco.
"You've got a plan" asked Sev.
"When have I not had a plan" asked Draco.
"I can name a number of times" said Sev.
"Name one" said Draco.
"We were five and we took cookies from your mother's cookie jar, and you ordered the house elf to grab it" said Sev walking away.
"I was five" said Draco walking after him.
"And I got yelled at" said Sev.
"What do you suppose I do" asked Draco.
"Oh I don't know there's a word with an a for it, hmmm what could it be? Oh, right…APOLOGIZE" said Sev.
"I didn't do anything wrong" said Draco.
"There are two sayings every girl wants to hear you say" said Sev.
"I know that" said Draco.
"Then do the second one" said Sev.
"Malfoys don't know the bloody second one" said Draco.
"I was wrong" said Sev.
"Of course you're wrong" said Draco.
"No idiot, it's "I was wrong" said Sev.
"I am not an idiot" said Draco.
"If you don't figure out a way to get back Ivory, you are" said Sev.
Draco walked behind Sev inside the dungeons, and they both continued up to their rooms and went to sleep.
