Chapter 2: Drama Queens and Chocolate

Ok, so the next chapter is up. Please review this story. Don't sue.

All the way up to the castle I had to sit through endless talk about Quidditch. It was horrible and I wanted to die. But we finally reached our destination and stepped out of the carriage. It was cold, almost raining too. I swear I'm going to kill Draco for not switching with me and sitting with those people instead. I was shivering by the time we entered the doors.

"Hey, pansy, are you really that cold?" Finnigan asked me, raising an eyebrow. I shot him a nasty look.

"Shut up." I said, turning away. "I don't get cold…or hot, and if you don't mind, I'm going to sit by my friends."

"No, we don't mind." said Thomas, "we don't mind at all." I glared at him and walked away. Nasty boys. But, then again, I was considered nasty among all of them. I found my seat among Draco and them. The weather inside the Great Hall was very windy. Some students were complaining, such as Maleficent.

"I asked Flitwick why it had to be so windy in here, and he said 'the weather outside affects the weather inside.' If you ask me, I'd say that it was a bunch of bull crap." she complained. I rolled my eyes at her as I tied a black bow into my long, black hair.

"Suck it up." I whispered as Dumbledore went through the yearly routine of telling everyone what not to do and where to not go and stuff…all the same to me.

"Pansy acting like her regular self again." smirked Rose, digging in to her roast beef. What was my "regular Self"? I guess most people have regular self's.

After the feast was over and everyone headed back up to their rooms I decided to go for a little walk around the castle. I was the only student that Filch didn't yell at. He would just grumble at me to get back to sleep, but I ignored it and he didn't bother me again. It was peaceful, walking around the empty halls, humming the tune to I song I heard. (A/n this is just something I got for the book what happened to Lani Graver, I didn't make it up, and I don't even know it's a song, but it is here…)

Blonde and blood mixed together.

Or so I thought that the halls were empty. There was Seamus Finnigan, opening a window. I would think he was trying to kill himself if we weren't on the first floor.

"What are you doing?" I asked before I thought. Damn…I was just going to leave.

"Nothing, just going outside." He said. I stared at him.

"Then why don't you use the door?" I asked.

"Well," he said, sitting on the window sill. "Filch is guarding the doors."

"Oh. Right." I said, looking down. "Why are you going outside for a walk when you could just roam around in here?" I asked before thinking again.

"You mean like you?" he laughed. He was already out the window, sticking his head out to look at me. "I'm going outside because I like it better outside, then inside."

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye."

That was weird…weird enough that I'm going to be now. I walked back up into the common room and headed up to the girls room. I put on my night gown and collapsed onto the bed. Today was a tiring day. And I didn't even do anything at all.

The next morning Rose woke me up with a violent push. I got ready, did the usual, and headed down to breakfast. The Great Hall was full by the time we got there, Slytherin being farthest away from it, but we sat down and enjoyed the feast.

"Oh, look, Owl Post!" said Crabbe, stuffing his fat face. About a thousand owls were flying down. One owl, a grey one, had flown to me with a package and note in its claw. I gave it a snack, and it left. It was from mom…the letter wrote:

Dear Pansy,

Hope your doing Okay on your first day back. I've sent you a few things. In the package are a few boxes of Delicate Taste, and dad sent you something as well. Write back soon, love. Your father and I miss you so much. Do well in school because this is your last year…we love you!

Sincerely,

Mum and Dad.

I looked into the package and took out the chocolate to see what dad got me. It looked like a glass ball. Dad left a note with it.

Pansy,

Don't get me wrong when I say this, but I want to keep an eye on you this year. I do trust you, but I just wanted to give you this for your own good. It's pocket sized, so I expect you to have it at all times. Good luck with your studies.

Dad

Jeez, what does he want to protect me from? He's crazy. I looked into the little circle ball in my hand. Should I turn it on? No, not right now.

"What did they send you, Pansy?" asked Rose on the way to Herbology.

"Oh, my mother just sent some chocolate. I ate it all summer and I'm sick of it. If you want, you could have it." I answered, putting on my Green House gloves.

"Awesome." She said. "My parents don't buy me that kind of good chocolate. They buy me stuff like chocolate frogs and crap." I just nodded at her. We walked into green house number 3 with the Gryffindors.

"All right, class." Professor Sprout said, "The first lesson of the year is how to make an antidote using plants around you. Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking…why are we making antidotes in Herbology when we do that all day in potions. Just bare with me. Professor Dumbledore asked me to teach you this."

The class groaned in unison after she was finished talking. I looked to my side and watched Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil giggle over Finnigan and Thomas. They're crazy thinking that those two were good looking. Didn't Brown and Finnigan date for a while last year…oh why do I care?

"So class, that's why we need Herbology partners this year. I already have the list. I did this very randomly so just listen for your name." Sprout said, taking out a list from her robes. "Hermione Granger with Lavender Brown, Dean Thomas with Vincent Crabbe, Harry Potter with Rose Weaver, Pansy Parkinson with Seamus Finnigan…"

What? What? No, I don't want to be with Finnigan! I kept blinking. I was sure I was going to get a bad partner, like Neville or someone, even If he's a loser, he's still good at Herbology…but Finnigan? Dammit…these partners where stuck together all year.

"…and that's it. So can anyone tell me a plant that you can use as an antidote…?"

Before I knew it, it was lunch. My head had been up in the clouds all day and I don't know why

"PANSY?"

"What?!" I asked Rose.

"Would you like to spend next Hogsmeade weekend with me, alone?" asked Draco, his eyebrows rose.

"Oh, yeah. Um…of course." I said, fiddling with my spoon.

"Ok, then." He said, kissing me on the cheek before he got up to leave. After he was out of earshot, Rose glared at me.

"Jeez, Pansy!" she said, throwing her arms up in the air, "What is up with you? You're dating Draco Malfoy. He's practically every girl in Slytherin's dream guy. I don't understand why you're acting like this, but it's getting ridiculous."

"Listen, I'm just not feeling to well right now. I feel sort of distant from everyone…okay? So get off my back." I said, throwing my napkin at her. I got up to leave and bumped into Finnigan, who was standing there. I listened in horror as he spoke to me in front of pretty much the whole school.

"You feel distant from everyone, or your distancing yourself from everyone, because you know this is your last year here?" he asked me. I looked at him, confused, and breathing heavily.

"Why were you listening to my conversation, Finnigan?" I asked him, saying his name with a cold, harsh tone.

"Just walking by is all."

"Well next time you walk by; mind your own freaking business!" I screamed at him. I felt tears running down my face and I walked slowly out of the Great Hall with all eyes on me. I plopped down onto my bed and started to cry uncontrollably. Stupid Bastard…why is everything so out of control this year? I didn't go to the rest of my classes all day. I also skipped dinner. I needed time to myself. Rose and Maleficent came into the room.

"Pansy, are you okay?" Maleficent asked, sitting on the bed next to me.

"Do I look okay, stupid?" I snapped at her.

"Oh, don't bother, Maleficent. She's acting like a drama queen. If we leave her alone she'll have no attention and get bored." Rose said, giving me an icy stare.

"What are you even talking about?" I said, wiping my eyes, getting angry.

"Oh, please. You love attention and you know it. You're the prettiest girl in Slytherin and you have the best looking boy friend. Everyone knows your name." Rose said, pushing Maleficent out the door. "I'm so sick of you." With that, she slammed the door. I threw a pillow after her.

Did she really think I wanted all that attention? Stupid little…little…oh never mind. I stood up and headed towards the bathroom to wash my face. I was going down to the teachers to get my homework. The only teacher who didn't yell at me for not coming to class was Snape. I sat up in my bed till late at night catching up with all of the classwork and homework.

So that was the end of chapter 2. R&R please! If this is the last chapter I get up b4 Christmas (which is not likely) then Merry Chirsmukkah everyone. And happy new year. I'm sooo happy about JKR giving out the relase dat for HBP ( july 16 2005) well, see you all again!
