Miss Pansy Parkinson , working as fashion designer was nervous for the second time in her life. Though in her 21 years she was taught not to ever feel any emotions like any pureblood woman is but this has been nerve wracking already.
The frist time had been when she heard lord voldemort's voice in Hogwarts when wizarding war was about to start . she nearly gave harry potter away which she regretted but made peace with both harry and ron after the war but wasn't successful in making peace with Hermione granger nor ginny weasley . at that time it didn't matter because she knew they would never forgive her or will they ever cross their paths in her life but here it was after 4 years of war and an open door of LOVELESS AND CLUELESS office with a very annoying assistant named luna lovegood glaring holes in her skull.
"would you like some tea miss Parkinson?" . lovegood spoke through her annoying professional voice. Pansy closed her eyes and wished for it to go away .
" no thankyou" . pansy smiled as lovegood stared blankly at her . she annoyingly reminded her of someone . someone she really loved and hated and want to kill that person at same time.
Pansy looked at the grandfather clock being placed behind lovegood's cubicle and noticed they were late well half in hour slammed the magazine in the coffee table and marched in her jimmy choo heels to luna lovegood.
"lovegood"? pansy called luna . but as usual the blond didn't respond to her just continue staring at water plant . pansy noticed nothing in that water plant. " lovegood , lovegood"? again no reply . "lovegood can't you hear me?" pansy spoke angrily . again luna didn't made any reply .
" er… luna"? pansy spoke awkwardly at the blond. " yes pansy"? luna smiled at her. The nerve of her! Oh she's going down way down .
" why didn't you replied earlier"? pansy spoke huffingly.
" well if you do have to call me call me by name pansy my name is luna not lovegood its been 4 years now I think now would be a good time to start and plus I saw your reaction when I called you miss Parkinson believe me it wasn't pretty"
" fine then luna where is your boss? It's been half in hour already and I have a very important meeting to attend"
" they will be right here in any moment pansy , don't worry" luna smiled.
Pansy sat down with a humph! And picked up the magazine as she was about to flip the page . a loud crack was heard .
" so sorry I was late , I was caught up at the hospital and lost my bag in process but found it in a lavotary , well here iam'
Pansy looked up at the voice . that voice she knew somewhere but couldn't place it. At frist she saw hair , just hair and brown and bushy then she saw the face… holy merlin it couldn't be ! how in the world was Hermione granger in charge of this place . pansy was specifically told that establishment was run by ginny weasley potter but granger? It didn't make any sense.
" luna iam going to my office and please bring all messages and clients sheets what we had yesterday" granger spoke
" Hermione you have a client behind you" luna spoke quietly
Pansy saw Hermione granger and smiled . granger's eyes widened she blinked few times and shook her head as trying to wake up from a bad dream.
" granger , pleasure to meet you" pansy smiled her queen bitch smirk and extended hand to granger.
Granger apparently had difficult time to grasp this and blinked again. But then she extended her hand and shook it.
" uh nice to see you too Parkinson and welcome to LOVELESS AND CLUELESS . I didn't know you heard of us" granger spoke stupidly.
"yes I did and believe me everyone knows but iam surprised to see you here for I was told this was run by ginny potter"
Granger spoke something under her breath . pansy hated that habit . mumbling was habit of someone she knew very well and it got in her skin more than anything.
"you heard correct but me and ginny are partners in this firm mostly ginny runs it and iam a healer in st mungos but nowadays ginny's pregrant and she couldn't make it I had to take her shifts and run it for her for time being" granger spoke while guiding pansy to her office.
Pansy entered the office , it was very professional looking with cream coloured walls and yellow lights and ebony desk with prachment and quills and files . the structure of office was homy and comfortable and she immediately knew that granger didn't do anything in this room.
She looked at Hermione granger , her knee length black skirt and grey washed too many times used shirt , she rose an eyebrow at her who was busy looking in files.
" right so why are you here?" . granger asked pansy . who fidgeted with her freshly manicured nails.
" I came here because I need your help granger , your firm offers a counseling and advice to those who have lost their way in relationships , and I heard somewhere that this office has bought peoples together , people come to you or ginny potter and you have given them help and it had been huge successes for them . for I have seen people happy by your counseling".
Granger was impressed by this knowledge . so she sat back and spoke
" ok you heard about us I guess that is flattering for our company and we do work hard to satisify our clients but iam curious where have you heard about us?"
" my two best friends Theodore nott and Tracy davis"
Granger smiled " right those two fought like a plague , it was miracle they worked out"
"see now I think you can help me too , my problem is same but bit different and I really want your help" pansy spoke eagerly
" pansy you haven't stated your problem"
Pansy felt stupid she blushed and spoke "right uh look its bit complicated I don't know how to explain it".
Now granger rosed her eyebrow she didn't say anything but motioned her to continue.
"you see iam in love with this man for many years , ever since Hogwarts but I haven't approached him till now I have tried to impress him really I did but I wasn't good enough , he sees me as a good friend and nothing more and
During war our relationship was restrianted we hadn't had any contact . I tried to be there for him but he pushed me off many times and then he apologized we have been good friends for long but I can't move on without him . its been hard yes I tried to move on really I did but iam hopelessly in love with this man I really don't know what to do he is a biggest playboy I have ever seen I have seen him changing girls like that but to me I know why he does it I can understand him and I care for him .he's currently in a relationship with one of girl that agonizes me a lot I tried to tell him but I just don't want to hurt him".
Granger was silent probably comprehending what pansy said , to pansy her own words sounded rubbish to her . she has never been good in explaining problems and she didn't how to project them .
Granger edged closer on the table and spoke " let me guess you like this guy ?" she waited for pansy to nod " you haven't told him anything about your feelings yet he sees you as a friend and then you see him playing with different girls and now he is settle for relationship you don't like it and you are getting jealous" .
Pansy's mouth dropped in horror , jealous! No way it couldn't be possible although she did get jealous when she saw him with other girls but no it wasn't jealousy just concern.
Granger saw her expression and spoke " pansy don't deny it. You are jealous but that is because you love him too much iam not an agni aunt but I can guess you are hurting , the thing is I don't know what solution I should give you I rather have you and gentleman here but I guess it couldn't be possible since you yourself haven't told him anything".
They both were silent for a moment each thinking hard it was a sticky situation really .
Pansy then looked up at granger and had an idea ..what if she ?
But how?
Anyways she is going to say it " I think you can help me granger" .
Granger's eyes were narrowed , she didn't understand what pansy was meaning .
"how"? inquired granger
" well how about you get to know him ? be his friend ? coninvence him? If he trusts you enough surely he will listen to you" .pansy fidgeted again.
" what ? you mean be his pretend girlfriend or something"? granger spoke hesistantly.
" no no not girlfriend granger just a friend , a friend with no feelings whatsoever see iam a friend with feelings you will be friend of indifference you will have no emotional bond but just someone to rely on without getting uncomfortable that way you can help me and him to be together".
Granger blinked her eyes then she rubbed her nose. Her eyes were still confused .
" iam not sure Parkinson how can I coninvence him ? what if he doesn't open to me? Its not easy you know making friends is easy but actually being a friend and especially pretend is hard I don't think this man will ever open to me".
Pansy clenched her jaw she didn't like it what granger said .
" why?" pansy inquired .
" iam not some bloody informant or spy Parkinson and I don't think it will work besides the plan will fail in seconds"
" you are not a spy granger nor informant you are just a friend a mutual one who will help us bond granger why can't you help here"?
"are you raving mad ? how on earth iam supposed to that ? wouldn't he guess what we have been upto"? granger nearly shouted.
" you can do it and I know you can besides you are good on friendships and stuff iam not iam pathetic as giant squid I can just comfort but I can advice nor help them"
" no Parkinson its impossible"
" but you are the only one who can help me granger ? please don't do this I know I have been horrible to you and friends but please just once help me out please" pansy spoke with nearly tears in eyes.
Granger stared at her for a long moment . she can see battle going on her head she was debating this .
Finally she let out a sigh and spoke " fine but on one condition I will not repeat anything he says about you or relationships this will be highly confidential, you will not force me into anything If I have to give advice or help I will do it on my own and if he doesn't come around don't blame me or sue our company"
Pansy smiled , she had won the battle now she has to win the war.
Granger continued " and this will not leave from my office believe me a word and I will know pansy iam just helping you this time next time you are your own and you have to stop calling me granger".
Pansy smiled again and held a hand to shake it " deal and I will abide to all those conditions gra-iam sorry Hermione".
Hermione shook her hand and pansy stood up to leave her office when suddenly Hermione turned around and spoke " just a minute pansy you haven't told me his name".
With that pansy smirked and without turning she spoke " its draco , draco malfoy iam sure you know him".
Pansy left the building with shocked granger behind her .
" WHAT?"
