[A/N: okay this is for xlightfromabovex 50Shuffle challenge! If anyone else wants to do it, here are the instructions / rules:

Go onto iTunes or whatever music player you have, click on shuffle or random and play.

Write down the first 50 song titles which come up. If you get two versions of the same song, you can skip one; songs with titles that contain a specific name, eg. "Alice", "Ciaran's Well" etc. can also be skipped [unless you think you can do it ^^] Foreign language song titles must be translated, eg. "Koguero Yoru ni Saita Hana" should become "The Flower That Bloomed on a Frozen Night"; "Chizuru" becomes "A Thousand Cranes".

You then have to write a drabble / oneshot using the titles; it must be relevant (: NOT songfics.

You can use any pairing; het or slash, established or implied; and you can use more than one pairing in the challenge

Can be from any fandom

Content can be any rating and any genre :3

Have fun!

So this is my 1/50: Going Through the Motions (by McFly), she's going to hate me for having McFly on my iPod lol

Disclaimer, I own none of these characters, I just warp them for my own joy.

Also, big thanks to my amazingly awesome, supremely brilliant beta TheBeautyOfTheGrave]

Going Through the Motions

Pansy's POV- DM/PP

There, by the bed was the obligatory bouquet of flowers. Every year the same white carnations blushing pink. Good quality, I know, without even looking closely; nothing but the best for a Malfoy.

There is no note, there never is, but I know who they're from and why I get them. You would think that on your wedding anniversary you would wait with anticipation to see what surprise your life partner has got you?

Well I don't. It's the same every year for me, us: the bouquet in the morning, I have the day to myself, then I change into the most recent dress I have purchased and get 'treated' to a lovely evening out at the fanciest restaurant in town. Never has he deviated from this, well, I suppose you could call it routine. And I knew why. Not because he loves me as a husband should love his wife but because he did not want his family to lose their status as respected purebloods in the wizarding community.

Every year it gets to me. Seeing those flowers, knowing he will never love me. Oh, he is affectionate... or at least as affectionate as a Malfoy can be. Don't get me wrong, he does care for me but his heart... well it belongs to another; one he can never have.

I guess, for now we're just going through the motions.
