Note: Slytherin-girl TF lover, thank you for the Review, it inspired me to write more…
"Oh, Harry. Stop acting so hurt" Ginny said to Harry at breakfast the next day.
"What would you know?" Harry snapped.
"Harry, I'm not gonna wait around for you to grow up. So I suggest you grow up soon." Ginny said as she left the table. Neville sat in Ginnys' empty seat. "So what's going on with you and Hermione? I heard Lavender say that Hermiones' being crying all night." Neville said, trying to see Harry's reaction.
Harry slammed his knife on the table and caused Neville to jump slightly. "SHUT UP LAVENDER! STOP TALKING ABOUT THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT!" Harry bellowed across the table. Lavander looked in Harry's direction and gave Parvati a worried glance and bit her lip as she looked back at Harry. Harry stormed out of the hall and into the Gryffindor Common room. He slumped into a armchair and looked longingly into the flames, as if he was waiting to see his god-fathers face in the fire. "Harry?" a soft voice called. He jumped up and whirled around to face… Pansy.
"What are you doing here?" He demanded, pleased she was there.
"Visiting you" she replyed, fluttering her eyelashes.
"How'd you get in?"
"I heard you say the password and… well, here I am" Pansy said, setteling into a squishy armchair. "Harry, I just want to say that I think you are better off without Granger. You can do better than a mudblood."
"Yes…" said Harry absent-mindedly.
"Now," said Pansy, slapping Harry on the knee. "We need to get to Potions, otherwise, Snape will deduct points"
Harry nodded and followed Pansy out of the common room.
In Potions"And now, you than add the powered monroot, drop of hevans and one pinch of firedust" Snape was telling the class. But, Harry wasn't listening. "Mister Potter, would you be so kind to explain to the class what a monroot is?" Snape spat. Harry gave it a go. "Monroot comes from the mongrooves and it contains special healing abilities?" He guessed. Snape scowled and continued teaching. Harry caught Pansys' eye and she mouthed close one, followed by a small wink. All through Potions, Harry could not stop looking at Pansys' shinning raven hair and dancing blue eyes. By some miricle, Harry passed his exam.
Lunch"Hey Potter, close one back in Potions. I expect it was sheer luck" Malfoy drawled.
Harry snapped at him "Just because you're Snapes little darling, doesn't mean you know everything. I expect, you wouldn't know the difference between the sun and the moon"
Malfoy snarled and stalked off, followed closely bye his two walking apes. Soon after Malfoy had left, Pansy came over to Harry and promtly sat down on his lap. "Hey Harry!" she said, fluttering her eyelashes at him.
"Hey Pansy, what's up?"
"The sky! No, we have to go to Herbology, it's with Slytherin." Pansy said, pulling Harry to his feet.
In Herbology…"Now class, I will put you in pairs for the rest of the semester. Potter and Parkison, Weasly and Malfoy, Brown with Zabine…" Professor Sprout kept putting the class in pairs. After she had finished, the pairs than had to re-pot Mandrakes…again….
"My God," exclaimed Pansy to Harry after class had finished. "If I have to re-pot one little plant again, I promise you I will leave this school!"
"Same here." Said Harry, looking at Hermiones' retreating back. "Want to go back to the castle?"
"Sure thing, just let me get my stuff" Pansy said, running back to the greenhouse. Harry waited for Pansy to return and started to walk up to the castle with her.
Free Period
"You know something Pansy?" Harry said during their free period.
"What?"
"You look really cute in this light" and Harry tilted Pansy's face to look at his and ever so slowly closed the gap between their faces. Pansy closed her eyes and just as Harry's and her lips were about to meet, a shrill voice yelled "HARRY!" Both turned to see who it was and said in usion
"Granger?"
"Harry! How could you?" Hermione yelled, tears filling her eyes.
"What do you care? You filthy little mudblood. You were the one to cheat on me in the first place!" Harry said roughly, holding a hand out to Pansy. When Pansy had slipped her and in his, Harry lifted her to her feet and slipped one hand around her waist, drawing her close.
"Harry!" Hermione yelled, before running off, tears streaming down her face.
Harry turned back to Pansy and slowly kissed her lips, sending sparks running down Pansy's spine.
Thanks to all who reviewed this story! Poor Hermione… But, she was in the way of Pansy and Harry. Please review! Flames will be tossed into the fire! Tell me what you think…
