Hey! Thanks all you readers! The reviews really give me motivation! I'm sorry this chapter took so long, i've been really busy. I'm trying to make the chapters longer though! I hope you enjoy!


Draco felt the door slam shut and he ran his fingers through his hair. He leaned against the heavy oak door. He could still feel Ginny's breath as she sighed; he could feel the stone beneath his hands as he held Ginny against the walls. Draco groaned and pushed himself off of the closed door. He started off in the direction of the Slytherin common room.

He needed to clear his mind, this was ridiculous. With his hands in his pockets he made his way down the hall. He heard the classroom door open, he heard Ginny walking away in the opposite direction, most likely to the Gryffindor Tower. His mind was racing, he couldn't get read of the image of Ginny, he hadn't realized how beautiful- He stopped himself mid thought. He had to stop this; she was a Weasley for God's sake! He shook his head and quickened his pace. He had always known he had a sort of 'power', if that's what you wanted to call it, over girls. He never understood why though, everyone had always said he was foul and rude. He smirked, 'float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."

Draco hurried down the stairs and continued to plot, maybe this was exactly what he needed; a blessing in disguise. He could easily tell that Ginny Weasley was becoming infatuated with him. Draco smirked at the thought of everyone knowing that Ginny Weasley brother of Ronald Weasley was dating such a 'pompous' pure-blood. After all, Ginny's father was a point made 'blood traitor'. Arthur Weasley and his ridiculous muggle obsession.

Draco reached the entrance to the Slytherin common room; he leaned against the stone entrance, "Salazar." He said clearly. The stone shifted to reveal an eerie corridor. He walked through it and dropped on a couch. He pulled out his wand and twirled it in his long fingers, "Hello Draco." A drawling voice called from behind him. Draco didn't bother to turn around, "Ah, Pansy…" He replied with a mock sincere tone. Pansy didn't notice the tone and instead snaked her arms around Draco from behind, pulling him into an awkward hug. She rested her chin on his shoulder and kissed his cheek, "Skipping class again, are we? Naughty, naughty, I fear." Pansy whispered into Draco's ear. Draco shook her off, "Not now, Pansy. I'm busy." "Busy? Oh, you really looked busy lounging on the couch." She shrieked before turning to storm out. "See? This is what I told Blaise about….!" Draco drifted off, not wanting to finish. "W-w-what? What are you talking about, love?" Pansy asked, suddenly sweet as sugar. Draco stood and faced her, "Must you always make a shouting match about everything?" Pansy hurried over to Draco, "Draco, love, I didn't mean it." She cooed as she wrapped her arms around his waist and tilted her head up, Draco looked down at her; he could count her eyelashes she was so close, he cupped her chin and pulled her face just an inch from his. She carefully closed her eyes. He bent closer so their lips just touched and her lips parted with a sigh, he brushed her lips with his swiftly than pulled back, "I think, I'm going to have to end this." Draco whispered with Pansy still in an embrace. "What?" Pansy breathed. Draco pulled her arms off of him and gently put them back at her side. He then turned and began down the second corridor which led to the boy's dormitory.

"Are you breaking up with me?" Pansy squeaked just loud enough for Draco to hear, "Yeah, I guess I am." Draco replied as he entered the dormitory, he turned to see Pansy's dumbstruck face before he shut the door.

Draco had never ended a relationship before; this happening because many of the girls he had 'been' with had known there was no need for labels of any sort. Seeing as Pansy was a label kind of girl, he had agreed to call what they had, a 'relationship', of sorts. As this was his first time, Draco decided he had done splendidly and celebrated with a well deserved nap.

He woke just in time for lunch; he hurried down the hall and arrived at the Great Hall at the same time as everyone else. He made his way to the Slytherin table, as he sat, the table hushed. He turned to Crabbe who shrugged and continued eating. Draco had scarcely sat before he heard the whispers:

"He just broke up with Pansy Parkinson!"

"I heard she's still in the dormitory, crying."

"He broke up with her by owl!"

"I heard it was because she walked in on Draco and some other girl."

"She deserves better!"

"He deserves better!"

"What a bloke, pulling a stunt like that."

Draco pretended not to hear but couldn't help smiling when someone would come to his defense in their various conversations:

"I'm sure he had good reason!"

"That Parkinson girl was mad anyways."

"It was decent of him to hold it off this long!"

Crabbe and Goyle sat oblivious of the flying rumors. They continued to stuff their faces while others were finishing and leaving for their next class. Draco sighed as he finished his treacle pudding.

"How did everyone hear about that so quickly?" Draco hissed to Goyle, who grunted loudly and nodded towards a small peaky blonde down the table, she kept her eyes pointed down as she nibbled on a scone. Draco laughed louder than needed and watched the little girl jump. He gathered his belongings and strolled to the other side of the table and stopped beside the blonde.

"This seat taken?"

Draco asked as he pointed to the seat directly next to the girl. She shook her head without looking up. Draco dropped onto the bench and pulled a goblet of pumpkin closer to him.

"Have you seen Pansy lately? I need to speak to her about something."

The girl squeaked and dropped the biscuit she was eating back onto her plate. Draco chuckled and held out his hand.

"I'm Draco Malfoy. And you are?"

"Bridgett Sidney." She stuttered.

"And I have a bit of a question for you." Draco said quietly.

Bridgett stopped moving, with her goblet of pumpkin juice resting against her lips.

"How, did you hear about me…and Pansy?"

Bridgett coughed loudly and put the cup down. She opened and then quickly closed her mouth. She smoothed her skirt and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Draco picked up a cream puff and balanced it on the palm of his hand. He tossed it up slightly and caught it again. After a pause, Draco turned back to Bridgett.

"I was…in the dormitory." Bridgett muttered.

Draco nodded.

"I had forgotten my potions book…I walked down the hall…It seemed best to stay quiet."

Draco laughed coldly.

"Yes, Bridgett, it seems you did stay quiet." Draco said gesturing to the many others who were hidden behind their hands gossiping and pointing towards Bridgett and Draco. Bridgett blushed bright red and her eyes flashed towards the gossiping onlookers. She stood quickly and knocked over her pumpkin juice. Draco stood just as quickly and he noticed he stood more than a head taller than her. He looked down on the top of her blonde head. He leaned down so he would be heard only by her.

"Just next time, before you spread rumors, think of me." He hissed in her ear.

She unconsciously leaned closer to him and then shook her head and pulled away. Draco turned and watched her hurry out of the Great Hall. He felt his face pull into a grin and as he was turning back he caught Ginny's eye. Her brow was furrowed and she had a slight smile. Draco felt his arm start to rise as instinct to wave at the pretty girl, but he stopped. He felt his smile drop and he watched Ginny's smile fade just as quickly as it came.

He struggled to remind himself that she was the victim here. He was going to ruin her, not the other way around. Draco ran his fingers through his blonde hair and sighed. Draco looked down at his shirt and fixed his green and silver tie. When he lifted his gaze, he saw Ginny had directed herself back to the mudblood, Granger.

With his bag swung over his shoulder, Draco made his way to class. He met up with Blaise in the halls and they broke into light conversation. Blaise had decided to make it his life goal to mock Draco concerning Pansy. Draco took the abuse as they hurried to Herbology. As he reached the green house, he noticed Pansy standing at the door. Blaise fought back a smile as Draco started forward.

"Hello Pansy." Draco said politely.

Blaise choked back a laugh as Pansy sniffled.

"Draco." She squeaked as she rubbed her eyes. "Blaise." She said just as quietly.

Once Draco and Blaise had found their corner in the green house, Blaise roared with laughter.

"Shut up. Shut up now." Draco hissed as he thrust an elbow into Blaise's stomache. Blaise coughed loudly and clutched his stomache. Draco grinned but his smile dropped when he saw Pansy walk past him, to take her place opposite of him. Blaise stopped laughing and straightened up.

Professor Sprout hurried into the greenhouse and started her lesson.

"Tubers. Get started, use the sterling silver knifes for the mature plants, the bronze plated for the immature." Sprout snapped her fingers and the students began working.

Draco raised his hand to ask a question.

"Man whore." Pansy hissed just below her breath.

Draco sucked in breath but maintained a smile. Blaise covered a laugh with a stiff cough.

"Yes, Draco?" Sprout asked.

"Slut." Pansy whispered. The girls surrounding her giggled.

Draco shook his head, "Never mind, Professor."

"Did you just call me a slut?" Draco asked in a hushed whisper.

Pansy stayed silent, and Blaise continued slicing the tubers.

"Isn't that a bit below you, Pansy?"

Pansy didn't look up. Draco smirked, "Guess not."

Blaise pulled at the flicking vine and grasped another tuber.

"I'm not stupid, you know." Pansy said quietly.

"Could have fooled me." Draco said loudly to Blaise.

Pansy blushed furiously and attempted to slice a tuber. She missed and stabbed the table, just nearly missing her friend's right hand.

"I see you, looking at that Weasley girl."

Draco stopped, and stood stock still.

"Looking at her, across tables, at meals..."

"Stop." Draco said quietly.

"Giving nighttime lessons…"

"Stop." He said a bit louder this time.

"Smiling at each other, making eyes."

"Stop." Draco spat through clenched teeth.

"You and the blood traitor. Ginny Malfoy, has a nice ring, doesn't it."

Draco gulped down a deep breath. He closed his eyes and attempted to focus.

"Sounding jealous are you? Jealous that this brute, red head, blood traitor, is what is replacing you?"

It was Pansy's turn now, "Stop."

"That's right, Ginny Malfoy. The best of her year, the smartest, prettiest…"

"Stop." Her voice was rising.

"She would make a lovely addition to my family."

"Stop!" Pansy shrieked as she dropped her bronze knife.

Draco smiled and he felt Blaise's hand tugging at his elbow. Yet, he didn't stop.

"That's right, can you imagine, my lips, meeting hers? Her arms wrapped around my waist, and her fingers through my hair…" Draco stopped at the look on Pansy's face.

She had tears silently slipping down her cheeks. He heard Blaise's voice, he sounded almost far away.

"Draco, mate, stop."

Draco felt the adrenaline in his body slowing down and he noticed the tears pooling at the corner of Pansy's lips.

"I'm sorry." Draco stuttered, he felt out of control, unaware.

Pansy nodded and continued cutting tubers with a shaking hand. Draco tipped the freshly sliced tubers into the wooden bowl waiting in the center of the table. Blaise cleared his throat pointedly and Pansy quickly wiped her eyes.

Class quickly came to an end and Draco let Blaise lead him back towards the castle.

"What were you thinking? There is a time and place for everything, mate." Blaise said firmly as he tore into Draco.

"You're one to talk, laughing like that!"

"'Sdifferent." Blaise replied with a shrug.

"How?" Draco asked throwing his arms up.

"You can't just tear the mickey out of an ex-girlfriend because she implied something about you and that Weasley girl? It's not true, so don't let it bother you, right?"

At Draco's silence, Blaise stopped walking and thrust his arm out in front of Draco, causing Draco to come to a halt.

"It's not true." Blaise repeated, almost as an attempt to assure whoever might be listening. "Right?"

Draco looked down and bit his lip. "Right."
