The morning that everyone went to Hogsmeade weekend I put on a frilly black skirt and a tight, purple, long sleeve shirt. I also tied my hair up and put on black eyeliner. I could dress however I wanted to on Weekends. I was to meet Finnigan at the Library in 20 minutes. I would just skip breakfast today. I wasn't hungry at all. Rose came out of the bathroom.
"Pansy, come on we're going down to breakfast." She said, talking my red lip gloss and putting it on.
"I'm not hungry." I said, taking the lip gloss back and putting it on my lips. I saw Rose and Maleficent glance at each other for a moment.
"Pansy, you haven't been eating a lot lately." Maleficent said. "Are you feeling well?"
"Yes." I said, in a defensive way. "What, do you guys think I have an eating disorder or something?" I joked, putting my purple eye shadow on.
"Well, yes, a little bit." said Rose. "Don't get mad for us thinking so."
"Oh my god... Are you guys serious?" I asked, laughing a little.
"Well…yeah." Maleficent said, looking worried. I looked at my two best friends in disbelief.
"What? I skip a few meals and now I have an eating disorder?" I ask.
"Pansy, you know you've been doing more than skipping meals. You haven't even come down to the Great Hall to eat in a long time. You're usually, like, just snacking on stuff."
"Yeah, well, so what? I'm just trying to lose a little weight. No big deal."
"Pansy, you lost weight. Remember when everyone used to call you pudgy?" Rose asked me. I nodded my head. "You're skinny as a rail now."
"Oh whatever. I have to go down to the library. Have fun at Hogsmeade." And with that I left them both standing there. I know that I don't have an eating disorder. I walked into the empty library and saw Seamus sitting at on of the tables. He had two plates of food. He looked up and saw me. He just half smiled at me and put another piece of bacon in his mouth.
"It's disgusting." I said. He looked up at me in surprise.
"What is…?" he said. "Bacon?"
"No, that way you have two plates full of food like that." I said, nodding towards the plates. "I didn't know you're such a pig." He just laughed.
"This plate is for you." He said, picking up one of them.
"How do you know that I didn't eat breakfast already?" I asked.
"Well, because you weren't there during breakfast. I went to go find you at the Slytherin table, but you weren't there."
"Hm. How clever." I said, harshly. "But I'm not hungry."
"Yeah you are." He said, eating some more bacon. "You know you want some." He said, waving a piece of toast in front of me. Before I could stop my self I snatched it away and stuffed it in my mouth. He laughed. "That's attractive." He said sarcastically. I glared back.
"Just give me the food."
"Of course, princess." He said.
"My dad used to call me that." I said, and yet again, without thinking. For some reason, when I'm around him, I act before I think.
"Really?" he said, I nodded my head. A few first year Hufflepuff came around the corner. They saw me and I glared at them. One of them shrieked as they ran away.
"Jeez…" he said. "Why are they so scared of you?"
"Everyone is scared of me."
"I'm not." He said. I looked at him hard in the eye. I brushed a lose strand of hair out of my face.
"You used to be" I said.
"Maybe, but I'm not anymore."
"We'll, a lot of people are different now." I said, "Now, can we please get started on this. I have better things to do today."
"Like what?" he asked me. "everyone's gone."
"Damn, why do you talk so much?" I said, "When I say I have stuff to do, that means I have stuff to do. Don't question me."
"And you say I talk too much."
"Well you do." I spat back. He tilted his head to the side and smiled as he scanned over the essay that we wrote.
"You misspelled this word." He said as he pointed to a spot of the parchment.
"What?" I said as I leaned into him to see the paper. "I didn't spell that wrong! That's how you-"
"You get mad to easily, Pansy. I was only joking." He laughed.
"You called me Pansy." I whispered. It was silent for a while.
"What? That's not your name?" he joked, but still, his voice was quiet. I snapped out of it.
"Well, we're not exactly friends. I didn't know we we're on first name terms." I said, I saw the hurt in his eyes for half a second.
"Yeah…but, Parkinson doesn't seem to suit you. You look like a Pansy." He said as he gave me one of those smiles that makes me want to smile. I covered my mouth with my hand. "Why do you hide your smiles?"
"I don't. I wasn't." I said taking my hand away.
"Yeah you were. Pansy, I could still see your eyes." He chuckled. "Now come on, let me see those pearly whites. Now!" I rolled my eyes as I gave in. I flashed him an obviously fake smile.
"Come on, that won't do. Let me see a real one."
"I don't have a reason to smile right now." He said. Hm, I felt smart.
"Well, what if I told you we could leave the library because we're done with our report?"
"We are?" I asked…he caught me off guard as I flashed a smile. I immediately closed my mouth. He leaned back in his chair and smirked.
"Let's get out of here?" I asked. He leaned back in and raised an eyebrow.
"You want to leave…with me?" he asked. I thought about it. I did, I really did, but I couldn't because he was Seamus Finnigan and I was Pansy Parkinson…and everyone knew that those two people don't mix. But everyone wasn't here. Everyone was gone. So…
"Yeah… I do. " I said, as I grabbed his hand and lead him out, and as I laced my fingers through his, I wondered what the hell I was doing.
Well, sorry for the long delay guys. To be honest for a while I lost interest in Harry Potter ( I know the horror) I was pretty rapped up in Lost. But I'm back on the boat now guys. Haha R&R please!
