(-----PANSY-----(
Pansy sat on the Hogwarts Express, her hands folded tightly in her lap. Her trunk was at her feet and her black kitten lay curled beside her in the corner. She looked nervously at the two strange girls sitting beside her, then at Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle, who were sitting across from them. She tried to catch Draco's eye, but she could tell he was avoiding her. He had been avoiding her all morning.
"So," One of the girls said, breaking the akward silence. "What will happen to us since we transferred?"
Draco was quick to answer, almost too quick. "You'll probably be sorted into Slytherin. I hope," He added, blushing.
Pansy bit her bottom lip nervously. She turned to look out the window. Green hills sped in and out of her view. She watched her three friends' reflections in the mirror. Not a single one had said a word to her since the last day of school. Had Draco lost interest in her? Probably, she wasn't all that great looking.
She turned to the girl sitting to her right. She had short black hair, green eyes, and dark skin. She was short and curvy, and seemed to be flirting non-stop with Draco. Pansy had to fight back the urge to curse the girl. The girl at the other end of the seat had brown hair, brown eyes, and was a lot taller than the first. They seemed to be good friends. Pansy was happy to see that the second girl kept her hands away from Draco, as well as her eyes.
"Draco, where's your father?" The second girl asked anxiously, her eyes reflecting the sunlight. "Does he ever go to school to visit you?"
"Sometimes," Draco said slowly. "Why?"
"No reason," The girl said quickly, exchanging a look with the first. She narrowed her eyes at Pansy. "Oh, I'm sorry, we haven't introduced ourselves yet have we?"
Pansy shook her head, feeling herself blush. She didn't like talking to people she didn't know, she had the feeling that they would instantly hate her. "I'm Pansy," she muttered.
"I'm Erica and this is my friend De," The second girl introduced.
"Where are you from?" Pansy asked curiously, hearing their accents.
"I'm from America," Erica said. "And De's from the Philippines."
De nodded, confirming her origin. "But I used to live in America, until Erica and I moved up here. We moved right next to Draco. Isn't that funny?"
"Hilarious," Pansy said bitterly, faking a smile.
De raised her eyebrows, shook her head, and turned back to Draco. "So tell me how dorms work."
Erica giggled. "I'm pretty sure they watch out for that kind of stuff De. And you had better be careful."
De rolled her eyes. "I'm a big girl, Erry, I can take care of myself." She turned back to Draco. "So?"
"Well there's a girls' dorm and a boys' dorm, they're right across the hall from eachother," Draco answered.
"How are we ever going to pull this off?" Erica asked, apparently worried about something.
"Pull what off?" Pansy asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, Pansy." Draco snapped angrily.
Pansy blushed furiously. "They aren't witches, are they, Draco?"
De gasped. "She's onto us!"
Erica elbowed her in the stomach. "Oh will you be quiet? She wouldn't have been if you'd have kept your big mouth shut."
De giggled. "If you gotta know, we aren't."
"Then why are they here?" Pansy asked Draco.
"Because, my father got them in, he said they transferred from an American school," He didn't look at Pansy when he spoke. "And don't you dare tell anyone about it, Pansy, or there'll be hell to pay."
"What, are you two dating now?" Pansy asked, shocked.
For some reason, De and Erica burst into laughter. "Dating?" De managed to say. "That's one way to put it."
Draco blushed twice as hard as Pansy had. "She- doesn't have to know that."
Pansy was disgusted. "Oh, no! Draco, why'd you do that to me?"
"Do what to who?" Erica asked, not laughing. "You two weren't dating first, were you?"
"I thought we were," Pansy said, scowling.
"This keeps getting better and better!" De said, still laughing.
"Oh shut up!" Pansy cried, picking up her kitten and leaving the compartment.
