Hi! This is my first story. It is also a drabble challenge started by Aiimy of the HP forums. I thought I'd use it to give myself a push to publish something on FanFiction as I am very shy. I think there will be about twenty-ish drabbles all based around Draco Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass. Style and characters will vary but I think it should work out. Here's the first one! I hope it's okay and please enjoy!
Shattered – Pansy Parkinson
She walked into the party, Draco on her arm. How proud she was to have him as her fiancé. In the past she had always worried all the unwed women were looking at her man. Pansy now knew he was all hers.
Since the war had ended the Malfoy's tried to keep status in the Pureblood society. This of course meant their son must produce a pureblood heir as soon as possible. Though the Dark Lord had fallen, the prestige of pureblood was still important to many. Unfortunately for Draco, an arranged marriage had taken place and a happy Pansy now clung to his arm like he was a trophy.
Pansy thought that now that the title of fiancé was in place, Draco would no longer cheat. She had felt her heart break many times in their years at Hogwarts. She used to watch him very carefully but tonight, she let herself enjoy the party. She didn't notice Draco's gaze had in fact wandered.
Draco stared at her. The most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She had dark brown, almost black hair that stretched to her lower back. Her skin a porcelain, making her look almost like a doll. It was her eyes though, so striking, pulling him in. They were dark but the color of green still shone through. She was talking to Daphne Greengrass, who was in the same year as him at Hogwarts. He glanced nervously at Pansy; she usually noticed when his eyes wandered to other women. He looked back at the beautiful mystery woman and realized the punch bowl was very close to her. Exactly what Draco needed to escape Pansy without being obvious.
Draco released Pansy's arm, and she finally noticed he was still there. She had been enjoying herself too much to realize he stood hadn't yet left her side. She watched him cross towards the punch and calmed herself. She once again lost herself in conversation.
Moments later Pansy realized Draco had not yet returned. She looked towards the punch bowl. She then saw her old friend Daphne Greengrass and her younger sister, Astoria, talking with Draco. She realized how close Draco was standing to Astoria. She scolded herself for trusting that her fiancé could keep his eyes only for her. Pansy had opened her heart to Draco a million times only to have it broken. The look he gave Astoria was a look Pansy had never seen in his eyes. Love. Pansy quickly left the party.
This would be the last time her heart would be shattered by Draco Malfoy
So there you have it. Drabble number one. I hope you enjoyed. I'd appreciate if you'd Review. Oh and let me know if I screwed up the spelling or something somewhere. I checked it over a million times but you never know!
Thanks for reading! ~~~Kei ;D
