Unexpected Love
What had she been thinking? Pansy, unable to sleep, found herself turning this thought over and over in her mind. For as long as she could remember she'd been trying to get Draco Malfoy, the most sought after bachelor in Slytherin house, to notice her and now she didn't know what she wanted. It had all begun just two short weeks ago when she'd come back from her prefect rounds to find Millicent sitting in a corner of the common room sobbing her heart out. Why hadn't she let well enough alone? What had possessed her to do what she'd done? She was supposed to be the most cold hearted witch in her year and yet seeing Millie in the state she'd been in had caused something in her to melt. Well there was no use crying over spilt dragon's blood now. The damage had been done, and done proper, by none other than Pansy herself.
Instead of minding her own business like she should have done Pansy had found herself guiding the other girl to somewhere less public. Gently she had guided the distraught girl to her own private quarters, and begun to question her.
"Millie, Millie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" At first the other girl seemed almost unaware that Pansy was there, but gradually she managed to blubber out something about Draco and a whale. So that was it. Draco had been his usual charming self and insulted her. Pansy felt the blood rushing to her head in anger. So what if Millie wasn't a beauty, so what if she was a bit large? That didn't give the great Draco Malfoy the right to treat her like he had. She pulled the other girl close to her and began whispering words of comfort into her ear.
"Shhh. It's alright Millie. Don't worry Mr. Malfoy is not going to get away with this. I'm going to take good care of him, just you wait and see."
"Wh-what are you going to do?"
"Never mind that now. Just go in the bathroom and fix your face. Everything will be alright I promise."
"W-why are you being so nice to me? I'm just Millicent Bulstrode the h-hu-human w-whale." The girl began to sob anew.
It was then that Pansy had done it. She still had no idea where the words had come from, much less why she had said them, but she had and they had set Millie off on another crying jag. Only this time they had turned out to be tears of joy.
She had said,"because I love you Millie."
