Pansy was chattering away obliviously next to Draco, he was getting so irritated by her constant attention seeking. He had to break up with her.

"Pansy I-"

"Oh don't worry Draco, you don't need to say anything!" she giggled then continued her talk about fluffy pink things or whatever, Draco didn't care.

"No, seriously, Pansy we need to talk."

"Draco, seriously, we talk ALL the time!" she smiled at him before attempting to kiss him but was blocked by a swift arm to the face attack by Draco. She just laughed hysterically like it was some kind of accident; a few people turned and looked. This was the last thing he needed, a load of people looking at them as he broke up with her for the billionth time this week, but of course she never noticed. "Hehe, oh we are funny Draco!" she exclaimed as she sat up and wiped her skirt to rid it of the dust gathered from the cold tone floor.

"You know, Draco, I think that the Quidditch match later will be spectacular, well you know I'm not really into that sort of thing but I thought it would be ever so romantic if you-" she was cut off abruptly from her bizarre fantasies-

"PANSY! I DON'T LIKE YOU! I DO NOT WANT TO BE YOUR BOYFRIEND AND I NEVER DID, EVEN IF YOU STOPPED TALKING ALL THE TIME ABOUT NONSENSE I STILL WOULDN'T GO OUT WITH YOU!"

"But Draco darling-"most of the students in the hall had turned to look at the commotion at the Slytherin table.

"NO! I'M NOT YOUR DARLING"

"But I thought we were in love?!"

"HAHA NO PANSY! I WAS NEVER IN LOVE WITH YOU! YOU JUST TOOK IT COMPLETELY THE WRONG WAY AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING SO, SO HARD TO BREAK UP WITH YOU BUT YOU DON'T BLOODY LISTEN!"

"No Draco, you listen here. You can't do this to me, not here, not now."

"OH YES I BLOODY CAN! YOU JUST WATCH ME, READ MY LIPS: I AM BREAKING UP WITH YOU. THERE I SAID IT, WE ARE DONE."

The entire hall was close to silent as they watched the drama unfold before them, every student excitedly eager to see what would happen.

"You were going to meet my parents!" there were tears in pansy's eyes, Draco saw them and felt a huge pang of guilt like he had been hit by a frying pan over the back of the head but he needed to break up with her.

"No I wasn't." he lowered his voice to what sounded like a more menacing hiss "I was never going to meet your parents, this has gone too far already and I'm done. I'm done with you, I never loved you." He spat the last words and pansy burst into tears and ran from the room. The hall erupted with talk about the breakup and a few of the teachers were tutting and shaking heads in his direction, he didn't care.

"Hey, I know she was a right pain but you didn't need to be such a dick." Said Blaise as he strutted past followed by Crabbe and Goyle who nodded in agreement, but whether they actually had opinions of their own was unknown. People from all over the pace were shooting dirty looks in his direction and talking about him purposefully when he looked at them, just to make sure he felt rotten inside.

Draco looked round at harry to see what he thought, he wasn't glaring but nor was he smiling, he simply looked disappointed. For some reason this hurt Draco even more than any of the other looks he got from people he barely knew. When he thought beck over the argument he just felt dread rising up in his stomach. He reminded himself so much of his father.
