Getting Close Can Hurt

Pansy Parkinson was 16 years old. She was lying in her bed in the girls dormitory. She was thinking, thinking about what had gotten into Draco lately. Something was up with him but she couldn't figure out what. She decided to go downstairs and sit in front of fire (it helped her think). She got downstairs and saw Draco sitting on the couch.

"If you get to close to Pansy…" she heard a women's voice say,

"What are you saying, I can't get close to Pansy" Draco replied to the voice in a furious tone. "That isn't fair at all; you can't do that to me!"

"Draco, If you fail she will get hurt" the women's voice said.

"But Mom…" then a cloud of smoke appeared and the women's voice had vanished into thin air.

Pansy took a step backwards and fell onto the floor. Draco turned is head and saw Pansy lying on the floor. He rushed over and helped her up.

"Pansy, are you okay?" Draco asked. He helped her up and he could see the beauty in her eyes.

"Ya, I'm fine." Pansy answered. All of a sudden Pansy felt real nervous. She was never nervous around Draco before.

"So, how much of it did you hear?"

"Just that little bit," Pansy was crying by now. "I don't care what is going to happen. I love you too much to let you go."

"I love you too but: Draco was holding her tight. "Will see what's going to happen."

The next day Pansy, Draco and a few friends were walking back to the common room. As they were walking back they ran into Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Look who it is Potter, Mudblood and Weasel." Draco said, holding Pansy close to him.

"Still talking to Weasley, Granger?" Pansy asked in a sarcastic way.

"What does that mean?" Hermione asked her, Ron was blushing with anger in his eyes.

"You didn't hear the news?" Draco looked at Ron then to Hermione.

"He's seeing another girl!" Pansy said with a smile on her face.

"What! No I'm not!" Ron said with anger and a bit of fright. He knew it was true.

"Saw him snogging on Lavender Brown last night in an empty corridor." Pansy said in a proud voice.

Harry drew out his wand pointed it at Pansy and stood in front of Hermione. "Shut up Parkinson!" Harry demanded.

Draco drew out his wand, stood in front of Pansy because he didn't want anything to happen to her. "Leave her alone Potter!" Draco shouted.

"Wands away you two!" shouted Snape. "You three back to your common room," He pointed Harry, Ron and Hermione. "As for you Mr.Malfoy, we need to have a talk."

"No we don't!" yelled Draco. "I know what you want to talk about and it's none of your business." He grabbed Pansy's hand and stormed off.

When they got back to the common room Draco and Pansy sat in front of the fire. They sat there for a little bit before saying anything to each other. They were both thinking about how to start up a conversation.

"What did she mean?" Pansy blurted out.

"What are talking about Pans?" Draco replied.

"The night when you were in front of the fire talking, what did she mean when she said "If you get to close to Pansy" I was just wondering."

"Well, " Draco thought about how to tell it to her. "If I fail…"

"Fail what Draco?"

Draco couldn't think of anything else so the showed Pansy the mark on his left arm. She knew what the mark stood for, a Deatheater. "If I fail, he will kill my family and if he finds out about us he might kill you too"

Draco and Pansy just looked at each other for a while. Draco then had a tear in his eye but Pansy, she was crying. She put her face in her hands and cried. Draco held her close and kissed her on her head.
