Why is it that you pray for summer all year when you are looking out into the dismal weather that happens to be a constant in England, only to never go outside to do anything because it is too hot? I'm sticky and feel really smelly right now. If you know any red heads you can just imagine the great company that I am right now.

Whatever, while I am- pardon my French- sweating my balls off, I will give you an update on life since the Malfoys party. Oh wait how could I forget, I haven't done anything because I have been laying on my bed wrapped in an intense cooling spell. Oh bless magic, unfortunately I am down in the parlor now with my mom planning my birthday. My birthday is at the end of July so we have a little less then a month to plan. Not that there is really anything to plan. There will be another ball, except more primping, that my parents will host while the kids spend as much time away from their parents as possible. But the best part is that every year for my birthday I invite friends to spend a week at our vacation home in Spain. It's called Chalet del agua que se estrella. I think it means Crashing Water Villa, but I was never very good at Spanish. Anyways, it's right on the coast and we have a private beach, which if I'm honest with myself, which I'm not, is probably not needed because I burn like crazy.

"Pumpkin, I know it's hot, but will you please pay attention. This is a very important party for you."

"Ok, I know, I was just thinking about the villa I can't wait to go is all."

"You and your friends always have such a good time there." She started laughing.

"Did you say that last year Erik was bitten by black ants when he was lounging on one of their nest?"

Hahaha. Oh man that was so funny. The prig got what he deserved if you ask me. Erik, Blaise, and Keith had ventured outside to sunbathe, because unlike the rest of us they could actually acquire a tan. Well Erik happened to taunt us pasty people from outside, which was fine until he placed his blanket on an ant nest. Well once he had been lying for a few minutes they started to attack him. He started screaming and running around in circles. He was so disoriented that he ran into the sliding glass door while trying to get them off. He had itchy bites on him for the rest of the day and a red bump on his forehead.

"Yeah, I guess this year we will have to get dad to cast a bug repealing spell over more of the grounds." I said with a fond smile. Yeah right I'm not telling dad anything, I hope Erik gets attacked again.

Ok, that's it. Screw summer, I am not going to be hot AND bored. I'm going to go over to Pansy's. She sent me an owl a couple days ago saying that her and Draco had another spat and to come over and console her whenever I wanted. This is how often that they have fights, she has gotten to the point were she gives us a day or two to fit the boy bashing into our schedules.

"MOOOOOM."

Nothing.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOM."

Still nothing, interesting I should try a different tactic instead of just shouting down random corridors.

"MMMMMOOOOMMMMA?"

Why is it that you could scream for hours to get your parents attention and they will be nowhere in sight, but then as soon as you are owling dirty letters to your secret boyfriend they are all of a sudden over your shoulder asking if you want tea?

"Alana what is all this yelling about now? Are you having menstrual cramps again?"

"MOM! I can't believe you just said that. No I'm going over to Pansy's to 'console' her."

I know that you're thinking, I'm a real loser that I am still a) living at my parents house, and b) telling my mom where I am going all the time even though I am now an of age witch. Well you are pretty much right. But you haven't seen my mother when she is angry. She would stop a rampaging herd of Hippogryffs.

"Oh, well that's lovely pumpkin. Why don't you take over a nice pinot noir, wine always helps heartaches."

Lovely indeed, my mother's idea of the solution to all of life's problems…booze. Clearly she has never seen a drunk and upset Pansy, it mostly consists of slurring her words and trying to Apparate to Draco's for a 'night cap'.

"Yeah, mom…I'll do that…Anyways, I'm leaving now."

I went to the foyer and Flooed to Pansy's house, it isn't far away and I could have walked but I have a strict no outside policy in the summer.

"OH MERLIN ALANA! THANK GOD YOU ARE FINALLY HERE!" Pansy screeched as soon as I arrived. This is fairly unusual for Pansy so I was immediately on edge.

"Hey Pansy…are you alright?"

"Alright! Alright? No, I am not alright. Draco and I are done…and for good this time!"

Oh, wooooh. Thank god it's only this again.

"Ok tell me what happened this time. Wait is Vivian or Emily here?"

"No, neither of them is here. Ok well I'll tell you what happened. You won't believe it either, you will be so proud that I finally dumped his bloody spoiled butt!"

Ok I'll just set aside the fact that Draco is my best friend for now. Admittedly though Draco is a horrible prat to his girlfriends. Or really, most people. Anyways back to Pansy.

"Ok well, we were in Diagon Alley because Draco wanted to get some new practice snitches that he had ordered, and check out the newest brooms. Well I told him I would meet him in an hour while I went to Madame Malkins, I had some lingerie I had to pick up, and then I would meet him at the Leaky Cauldron to leave. Well an hour goes by and once I get there to meet him, there he is drunker then Hagrid on a Wednesday and making out with some random slag! I have had enough of his ways, I'm sick of being treated like I mean nothing. We weren't meant to be together, no matter what everyone else thought. It got to the point that if we kept going the way we were, then we would never be able to be simply friends again."

Oh no, Draco has really done it this time. I told you before that they fought constantly. Well it wasn't the normal tiffs where one person, usually, the guy would say something seemingly innocent and the other would fly off the handle. No, no, they were anywhere from Draco standing her up all the time, flirting with other girls constantly, and avoiding her, things along those lines usually. But before now he had never actually cheated on her. Draco is a lot of thing, but a cheater isn't one of them. Well, at least he wasn't. I can't help but think that something out of the ordinary happened between the time Pansy left him and the time she found him in the Leaky Cauldron.

"Oh man Pansy, I don't know what to say. I can't believe this happened. It probably was for the best that you broke it off…at least now you can find someone that is, as in love with you, as you are with them."

I don't know whether this has ever happened to you before. It puts you in a horrible place, no matter what you do you feel like you are completely betraying one of your friends. Normally when I go over to 'console' Pansy it consists of us eating ice cream and giving each other makeovers, then she tells me embarrassing stories of Draco that I didn't know. This is a little different though, and I'm not really sure how to approach this.

"Well don't look at me like this is the end of the road you prig. Well still have two tubs of ice cream to eat, and I plan on getting my nails done."

"Hahaha, Pansy, only you would break up with your boyfriend of 4 years and only care about whether you can con me into spending hours doing your nails."

She looked at me with a sad smile on her face on her face and said,

"Well I have to find something to do to keep my mind off of how much it hurts."

"Are you really going to be ok Pansy?" I'm starting to get fairly concerned, Pansy is the kind of person that internalizes a lot.

"Of course I will be, I'm a Slytherin after all not a lousy Ravenclaw, and we always land on our feet…or, uh, our bellies…?"

"Haha..ok well I'm happy to hear that."

We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening eating junk food and doing our nails. We also filled in our time gossiping about other people and reading Witch Weekly. Just so you know Lavender Brown has turned into a total divination freak, not that she wasn't before, and predicted the death of everyone in our graduating class. Apparently I am going to drown in my minestrone soup. What other gossip is there…oh, well Pansy told me that Ernie MacMillan was caught for voyeurism at The Three Broomsticks. HAhaha he was such a weird person I can completely believe it too. He always used to follow girls to the bathroom.

Anyways, I stayed at Pansy's that night for a girly sleepover that we haven't had in years. I figured she needed a little more comfort then she was letting on. I really wanted to talk to Draco to figure out what the hell was going on, but knowing him as well as I do I probably shouldn't try to speak to him for a few days.

Thanks for reading! I hope to have the next chapter out soon, it will have Draco in it so don't worry!
