Greg caught up with Pansy as their class were leaving the greenhouse at the
end of herbology class.
"Pansy, wait up! I have something to tell you!" Said Greg, running up to
Pansy, who was walking very quickly up the hill towards the school. She
turned around with a look on her face that stopped Greg in his tracks.
"What?" Snarled Pansy.
"It's just something I heard that might help you with.That thing you told
me about" said Greg. He looked so taken aback that Pansy felt ashamed of
herself for snapping at him. She looked around to make sure none of their
classmates were within earshot.
"Hey, listen Greg. I'm sorry but I don't even know if I have any feelings
for her any more. I just don't know."
A grin spread over Greg's face.
"What's so funny?" Demanded Pansy.
"It's perfect! What I've got to tell you will help. I promise!" Greg said
enthusiastically. They entered the school and found a quite corner in the
hall where they could talk. Pansy wondered briefly if Jenny was listening
in but her curiosity got the better of her.
"Well, what is it?" She asked.
"I was thinking about when we were talking about the Yule Ball the other
day and-"
"If this is about that little prat Draco, forget it!" Pansy interrupted.
Greg looked a little hurt that she would dismiss Draco so easily but he
continued:
"No it's not that. I remembered I heard two sixth years talking before the
ball. Daisy White was telling Orla O' Connor that she was supposed to going
to the ball with her boyfriend. Her rich, pureblood boyfriend, but she
really liked this guy from Hufflepuff."
"Muggle born?" asked Pansy incredulously.
"Yep. Anyway, White didn't know what to do and O' Connor told her about
this mirror she found when she was sneaking out of the school one night.
It's a magic mirror, Pansy! And if you look in it, it shows you what you
want. in your heart." Greg looked supremely proud of himself.
"Greg, do you think it would help me decide what to do if I looked in this
mirror?" Asked Pansy slowly.
"Well it's got to. It sorts out matters of the heart. Well that's what O'
Connor said."
"Then I'll do it. Thanks Greg. You're the best! So who did Daisy White go
to the ball with in the end?"
"She kept the rich boyfriend" Said Greg.
"Oh." Pansy trailed off, looking at her feet.
"Pansy, it doesn't mean that you can't go out with someone from a different
house. Even a Gryffindor" Greg said, smiling.
"What!? How did you know?" Spluttered Pansy.
"I keep my eyes open" Grinned Greg.
"Well" Said Pansy regaining her composure "Tell me where the magic mirror
is."
