A/N: Okay so it's been two years since I've started this, so i have completely forgotten my original plan and have had to go in a different direction with it. It's also the first time i've written anything in a very long time, so it's a little rusty right now, but i hope to make it into something really shiney!! I'm also sorry it's a little short, but you know, to much of a good thing! lol Please review just so i know someone is reading this?
"Excuse me?" Lolita was finally able to choke out the words after several seconds of silence. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Was this guy insane? He didn't even want to be her friend, and here he was telling every one that they were together. It wasn't true! So why had he said it then?
"That's a lie, Draco." She was not going to let him lie and just go along with it.
"Draco? Are you two really going out or not?" Pansy's voice had a distinct whine to it. Now Lolita understood why that was said. That didn't change the fact that she didn't like it.
"No, Pansy, we are not going out. Draco seems to have a problem telling the truth."
"Aw, come on Lolita. I was just trying to have a little fun. Everyone should know that I would never date you!"
What was his problem? He had said not to tell anyone that he wanted to be nice to her, but that didn't require him being a total jerk. Whatever happened to if you didn't have something nice to say? She really did wish he would just keep his mouth shut.
"Draco, you're a git. Honestly."
He smiled at her across the table.
"I know I am. At any rate, we have matters to discuss. Like the first Sytherin party of the year. I will not have our house party beaten by that horrid Hufflepuff house again."
"I can get in the kitchen while everyone is heading to there houses after the feast is over. I'll get the elves to carry the food to the common room." Zabini had a smirk on his face showing that he liked the idea of making those poor house elves do more work then was needed.
"I'll decorate!"
"You've decorated the past four years, Pansy, and it has looked like a troll got a hold of streamers and a bucket full of glitter. I will not let that happen this year. Lolita, you decorate." Pansy genuinely looked hurt when Draco said this to her, but he never noticed. He was looking directly at Lolita.
"I don't even know what you're talking about. What are we having a party for?" Lolita had never noticed a party being thrown in the Slytherin common room. She had always heard that Hufflepuff loved to throw crazy parties all year round for no reason, but she never realized that anyone from Slytherin knew how to have fun, let alone party.
"You really don't get out much do you?" Draco sneered. "Every beginning of the year, all the houses throw a party. They try to make it the biggest party of the year, not counting the one at the end. It's really a competition between all of the houses, to see who can throw the best party, and Hufflepuff always wins. It will be different this year. I'm going to make sure of that, and I'm starting by not letting Pansy touch any of the decorations."
"If she is so bad at it, then why have you let her do it the past four years?"
"Because I haven't been able to get anyone else who wants to."
"What makes you think I want to? I don't even want to go to the party, let alone take part in the making of it."
Lolita had never been to a party and she was not about to begin now. Not with these people. And she was starting to think that the less time spent with Draco was better. She could tell that he was to unpredictable, and she should never assume she knew how he was going to treat her. Lolita didn't want to have to keep her guard up all the time. She preferred to just keep keeping to herself. It was easier that way and she saw that now.
