Author's note: This was partially influenced by Sea Isle Witch's fanfictions, partially by Draco Is My Hero's fanfictions, and partially by coming across S.S. Non-canonball, the ship for Astoria and Rolf on . I hope you guys enjoy it. It's dialogue only and 600 words exactly. Please tell me if it gets confusing to remember who's saying what.
Do you really want to marry her?
"Do you really want to marry Astoria Greengrass?"
"Parkinson."
"Malfoy. Do you really want to marry her?"
"Why? Are you jealous?"
"Yeah, of course, that must be it. I'm so jealous I'm dying a little inside."
"I wouldn't out it past you."
"It's not jealousy that killed me inside."
"It killed a lot of things in a lot of us."
"That was obvious enough in our case but...do you really want to marry her?"
"Why do you care, Parkinson? What does it matter?"
"I know you, Draco. I know who you are and what you can be."
"And nobody else does?"
"I know you don't. You see yourself as what you want yourself to be, not what you are."
"That's pretty deep, Parkinson."
"I try, Malfoy."
"What about you, Parkinson? Know who you are, who you can be? Or is it all wishful thinking?"
"Stop sneering, Malfoy. I know who I am and I know what I want to try to be."
"And what's that? Pink?"
"I like pink. I've always liked pink and I've always worn it. At least I don't wear something else to try and fit in."
"Pink..."
"I know it doesn't look good on me."
"That's not what I meant."
"Draco...do you really want to marry the Greengrass bint?"
"Pansy, we're over. We've been over for years. Why do you care?"
"Why is it so hard for you to answer my question, Malfoy. Why can't you just give me a yes or a no?"
"Well...since I'm engaged to her, to marry her, I'd say, yes, Parkinson, I do want to marry her."
"She's very pretty. She'll be the perfect ornament to wear."
"Jealous much, Parkinson?"
"Just stating facts."
"You're stating biased opinions as facts. She might be smart, for all that you know."
"She's not smart, unless spending as much time on her hair as you do qualifies as intelligence and or skill."
"That was catty."
"It's my greatest talent."
"Astoria's nice. She...she wasn't there when it all happened. She helps me forget."
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe forgetting isn't a good thing? That maybe remembering things and working through them might be a better idea?"
"Did it never occur to you that maybe I did think of that and discard it? That maybe you're not the only one that can think, Parkinson?"
"No."
"No?"
"No, it never occurred to me, Malfoy. I didn't realise you could think. I'm presuming that it was your mother who thought of these things and told you? After all, Malfoy men are famed for being a little lacking in the intelligence department."
"Shut it, you."
"Still quick with the witty comebacks I see, Malfoy."
"Parkinson, what the hell are you doing at my engagement party anyway?"
"Do you really think your mother would organise such an extravagant event and not invite some of her closest friends and their children?"
"You asked her if you could come, didn't you?"
"Shut up Malfoy."
"Touched a sore spot, Parkinson?"
"Be useful for once, Malfoy, and pass me the Vipertooth. I'm going to need a glass or six to survive the night."
"You don't need to stay for the whole party, Parkinson. You can go home whenever you want."
"And have the whole bloody world saying I'm still in love with you and couldn't stand the sight of you with the bimbo? No thanks. I'd rather spend the whole night sober."
"Parkinson, what's wrong with her? She's nice-"
"And helps you forget. I know. Just...Draco, think about whether you really want to marry her."
"Pansy...pink looks nice on you."
"Bye Draco."
