The roses she had picked out as a 'just because' present were well received. Hermione had jumped on her, shouting "You're sweet."

"I think you're the only person in the world who has ever, ever had the audacity to call me sweet," Pansy said in mock consternation.

"You're sweet to me," said Hermione, her brown eyes large, and her full lips pouting. That look always made Pansy want to ravage her. "I didn't think you cared what other people thought." She smiled at the Slytherin beautifully.

"You're the only one that matters." She pulled Hermione into a gentle loving kiss.
