Draco's POV:

Him and Harry continuously avoided each other and Ron continued to give them both weird looks.

They would lock eyes on occassion, but they wouldn't keep eye contact for longer than a millisecond.

Blaise sat beside Draco and gave him a smile. "It's been a while since I've seen you, mate."

"Yeah... Been a while." Draco responds.

"Sorry for not talking to you. I've been busy with things and I haven't been able to find you." Blaise says.

"No worries. I understand. How are you and Neville?" Draco asks.

"Yeah well... Maybe I should talk to you about that. Neville can't even come to Hogwarts to help fix the castle anymore... His grandmother saw us kiss and... Yeah it didn't go so well."

Draco drops everything he is doing. "What happened?! What did she do?"

"Well she says that Neville can't see me anymore. We didn't talk for weeks until he, get this, snuck out of his house in the middle of the night. Luckily enough me and Luna were both awake. It seemed to be perfect timing. I was so stressed about it I couldn't sleep so Luna went to talk to me about it and here comes Neville on a broom-"

"On a broom?! He can fly?!" Draco asks in shock. "And he snuck out?! Either Neville is completely different than I thought or he's gone completely mad."

Blaise smirks, "Apparently my words had impact on him... I might be the one making him rebellious. He's met up with me for, like, five nights?" He chuckles, "As for the flying... I taught him."

"Wow. A lot has been going on for you, huh?"

"Yeah... So much." Blaise smiles with a happy sigh, "Anyways, what about you?"

"Oh uh... I need to talk to you in private." Draco says. He walks into an empty hallway and Blaise follows him. "So basically something happened the other day and now it's awkward between me and Harry... And Ron."

Blaise gives him a look of shock and worry, "Uh, what happened?"

"Well... me and Harry kissed and... Ron saw it." Draco informs.

"You kissed?!" Blaise exclaims.

"Shh! No one else can know!" Draco says, "I don't even know how it happened it just... happened. Now Ron keeps giving us weird looks and it's weird to look or even be in the same room as Harry."

"You're gonna have to talk to him about it eventually. You can't just ignore it."

"Why can't I?" Draco asks.

"Because that is not the way to deal with things! If you never communicate anything, you'll never know what could've been."

"Says the man who avoided the love of his life for three years." Draco retorts.

"I may be hypocritical, but I know when I have made mistakes. Don't do what I did. Talk to him!" Blaise urges.

"Fine." Draco says.

"Don't just say that. I know you still don't plan on doing it. But if you have feelings for him, I promise you that nothing will be possible until you talk to him. That was proven to me not long ago. I'm telling you... you need to talk to him. Think about, yeah?" Blaise says.

"Alright, I'll think about it." Draco sighs. Yet, even as he thought, he still didn't think he'd be able to even get one word out to Harry. He decided at once that he would continue to avoid him.

It was cowardly to say the least, but let's be honest, we all expected it.

Pansy's POV:

So much had gone on that she had nearly forgotten Draco's little crush on Harry. She noticed them giving each other strange looks. Ron seemed to notice as well.

She followed Draco and Blaise into the hallway to hear a key piece of information. Draco had kissed Harry Potter! No wonder they were so weird.

She had to get them together... but how? Veritaserum didn't work, but it sure did humiliate Neville. Speaking of... Everyone, especially in Slytherin house had been incredibly shocked when they saw Blaise and Neville all lovey-dovey. Everyone thought they were just friends, but not Pansy.

However, it is a good love story for her. But that didn't make it any less shocking. Perhaps she was too invested in Harry and Draco to notice Blaise and Neville?

She laid on her bed at home thinking about how to possibly get those two together. First, she had to figure out if Harry liked Draco back, even though she was positive he did. She couldn't be sure though.

The next day she strutted down the halls and stepped right up to Harry and his little group of Gryffindors.

"Harry, I must speak to you." She says.

Harry darts his eyes from her to his friends and says, "I'll talk to you guys later." He pushes past them and walks all the way to the bottom of the hall where no one would hear them.

"Last night in the common room I couldn't help but overhear Draco droning on and on about you." Pansy says.

Harry's eyes widen, "Oh... What did he say?"

"You're wondering what he said? Well... I don't think I could tell you... You might be upset."

"Was it bad?" Harry asks nervously.

"I uh..."

"Please tell me. I'll do anything." Harry says.

"Anything?" Pansy smirks, "I want ten chocolate frogs."

"Ten?!" Harry shouts.

"Yes, ten. No less. You can get more than that if you want, though." She smirks again.

"Fine. Just tell me, please." Harry pleads.

"You promise to get me the frogs?" Pansy teases.

"Yes! Just tell me!" Harry exclaims.

"Oh alright... He kept talking about how handsome you were and how he wishes he could talk to you." Pansy lies.

"He did? He really said that?" Harry asks.

"Yes indeed he did. It was getting pretty annoying. He also mentioned how nervous he is around you? I dunno... Hopefully that doesn't make things weird between you." Pansy says.

"No it doesn't... I mean, we were starting to become friends and then..."

"Yeah?"

"Then he just stopped talking to me. I don't know why." Harry says. Pansy holds back a laugh. He is such a terrible liar.

"Well... Maybe you should talk to him? I'm sure he'd appreciate it. Maybe you should let him down easy if you don't like him back." Pansy says.

"So... he likes me? He actually likes me? Like... more than a friend?"

"You seem to care a lot about it, huh?" Pansy smirks.

Harry rubs his neck and looks at the ground. His cheeks are tinted pink. "No I'm just curious."

Again... terrible liar. "Alright. I'll see you later!" Pansy says, giving him a bright smile and skipping away.

Next up, Draco Malfoy.

There he was, standing in front of the common room talking to Blaise and that weird girl Luna.

"Draco!" She sings. "I have to talk to you."

"What do you want, Pansy?" He snaps.

"That is no way to talk to your friend who was some key information for you." She smirks.

"What is it?" He snaps again.

"Can we talk in private?" Pansy asks.

"No, anything you need to say to me you can say in front of them." He gestures to Luna and Blaise. Blaise is giving her a glare while Luna has the same calm composure she always seems to have while giving her a friendly smile.

"Fine." She groans. "It's about Harry."

"What?!" Draco perks up.

Pansy smirks, "I overheard him talking about you. He said your kiss was nice and-"

"I'll talk to you guys later." Draco says to Luna and Blaise. Blaise was snickering while Luna was smiling brightly.

They walk away and Pansy overhears Luna say, "Oh, how wonderful is that?"

Draco walks to a secluded spot and sits down on a bench. "Continue please."

"Right. Anyways, he said you kissed really nicely and he likes you a lot but he's afraid to talk to you after it." Pansy says.

"Really? He said that?" Draco says. She could hear a hint of excitment in his voice.

"Yes, indeed. I know it's probably rude to eavesdrop but... It just seemed like something important to tell you." Pansy says.

"Well... thanks." Draco says awkwardly.

"No worries and... I'm sorry for being kinda annoying in the past." Pansy says honestly.

"It's ok. Thanks for telling me this." Draco replies awkwardly.

"Of course! It's the least I can do for two little love birds!" She smirks and struts away from him.

She was certain this would work. Only time would tell. If she was lucky, she'd see them together by the end of this week. Unless of course they'll be their classic stubborn selves.
