bChapter 2: Pansy's true colors/b
Soft arms caught her as she fell.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." She heard his voice from behind her. Get up get up! She scolded herself, feet scrambling to stand herself up straight. As soon as she did so, she turned around swiftly, almost losing her balance once more. Harry stood rather awkwardly looking at her. His eyes seeming to be taking her in, as though he had never seen her before.
"Is there something you want Potter?" she asked, her voice a bit softer than she meant it to be.
"You dropped your quill." He replied, handing her a long black colored quill. She took it from his hand, her fingers brushing slightly against his sending a shiver down her spine.
"Oh yea, thanks…good luck tomorrow." She said, quickly rushing off leaving a somewhat bewildered Harry behind.
"Pansy! Wait up a sec! Where did that come from?" Celeste asked as Pansy entered the common room, meaning to continue to the girls dorms and sulk in her bed.
"I…uh…" Pansy stuttered helplessly trying to come up with some type of explanation. A grin played on Celeste's lips. She stood up and circles Pansy like a hawk.
"I'm not thick like Draco you know." She said menacingly. Pansy crossed her arms over her chest.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Pansy asked in an annoyed tone. Celeste laughed.
"It means you're holding back. This isn't really you is it? I watched you last year. Who put you up to it? Your mom?" Celeste asked. Pansy huffed. How could Celeste see through her so easily?
"Don't think you know me so well. You've only been going here for a year. And we've only been friends for an even shorter time. The secrets about my life and about me personally I don't give up so easily." Pansy had barely realized that the stupid pompous girl she normally played had vanished from her mind.
"You just did." Celeste countered, a knowing smirk on her face. Pansy opened her mouth to reply but no words came out.
"Pansy come on. This is you last year at Hogwarts. Make it worth while. Show people who you really are." The words played in her mind for only a moment before she made a conscious decision.
"You're right. And I know exactly who to start with showing it to." She licked her lips, picturing Draco in her mind. This would be interesting.

That night Pansy found herself walking up to the Astronomy Tower to get some fresh air. The night was crisp and cool, making her shiver in only her silky nightgown and long robe, along with soft slippers. She sat looking up at the stars, mind wandering so far as so that she didn't hear the other person coming up to join her.
"You come up here too?" a surprised voice jolted her from her dazed trance. Pansy's gaze flickered to Potter, who was shifting his feet uncomfortably, obviously stumbling for words. Pansy sighed and stood up.
"I know I should be back right?" Pansy asked, motioning to the unpolished Head Boy badge, resting on Harry's cloak. Harry blinked a few times and tilted his head.
"Nah, not really. Besides, you have time since you're a prefect." He pointed out. Pansy shrugged and stood up, taking another long dreamy look at the stars.
"They're beautiful aren't they?" she said not expecting to receive a reply.
"Yea…" Harry's voice was soft, barely audible. Pansy sighed and looked back down, pulling her cloak close around her body. She had never been this nice to a Gryffindor before, especially 'Scar-boy'. But she found herself staring at him, the silky, scraggly black hair, deep eyes, and chiseled features. He had definitely gotten much better looking than his first year. Pansy studied him unknowingly. Plenty of girls drooled over him, wishing they could even talk to him. Now, he stood before her, alone with her, just gazing at the stars. Her heart beat a little quicker, causing her to curse under her breath. She was not supposed to have feelings like this for anyone but a Slytherin. Pureblood and wonderful. Everyone else was just not good enough…her mind strayed, except for Potter. iDamn! Stop it! Bad Pansy! … I wonder what it would be like to kiss him-No! Grrr. Stupid-/i
"Pansy?" Harry asked tentatively, snapping her back to reality. She hadn't realized how long she had been staring.
"Oh yea right. Night Harry." She said, turning towards the door which swung open, revealing a somewhat tall, brunette with curly hair and a serious face. Mudblood. Pansy sneered inwardly. Granger strode toward both of them, eyes fixed on Pansy.
"Harry, she bothering you?" Hermione asked in a low growl. Harry shook his head causing Pansy to chuckle. Hermione's eyes narrowed.
"Look why don't you just go slither yourself down to the dungeons where you belong?" Hermione snapped and then turned back to Harry whose mouth was open but speechless. Pansy huffed, deciding she didn't feel like putting in the effort to fighting Granger and stalked off back out the door. Something however, held her back, head leaning to peek around to the two, now alone, or so they thought at least. Harry had his hands stuffed into his pockets.
"Harry I need you to do something for me." Hermione started. Harry shrugged.
"What's that?" he asked curiously.
"Kiss me." Hermione stated flatly. Pansy saw Harry's eyes widen a bit.
"You want me to—"
"Kiss me yes."
Harry blinked a few more times as Hermione came up close to him and then he leaned down, kissing the Granger prat on the lips. They seemed to hold it there for some time before breaking away. Pansy huffed, making Harry instantly turn toward her. She immediately ducked back behind the door and ran down the stairs, unknowing tears trailing her face. It scared her, knowing someone kissing him could anger her so. Bloody hell he was a fuckin' Gryffindor. Shit. She knew what the problem was, and it scared her half to death. Was she…no, she wouldn't think it. All her years at Hogwarts and there was one thing she had always agreed on with Malfoy. That Potter really was a pompous prat and know it all who deserved what happened to him.
She reached the Slytherin common room in record time, rushing up the stairs to the girls dorms and then flinging herself onto her bed before anyone could talk or question her, falling into a deep sleep.
iShe is in a dark room, a hand stroking her arm that is filled with goose bumps. Just the soft touch enough to exhilarate her. Then her hair being swept off her neck being replaced by a tender kiss. Her heart raced, the feel of a body behind her. How it had begun to press against her. The kiss on her neck turning into more than one kiss. She had on, from what she can tell, a short silk nightgown with thin straps. One of the straps being pulled down slowly followed by a trail of kisses. She could feel the warmth of the lips, so obviously it wasn't Draco, but someone more, tender. Someone she had seen tonight…

Pansy shot up in bed, breathing a bit heavily. iShit./i
