'ello! This chapter is written by Pointed Tooth Fairy, so it's gonna be different from the last one, ok? And for the simple reason that it fits this chapter, here are some song lyrics.
"…I know you well enough to know you never loved me
Why can't I feel anything from anyone other than you?
and all of this was all your fault… and all of this…
I stay wrecked and jealous for this simple reason
I just need to keep you in mind as something larger than life
She'll destroy us all before she's through
And find a way to blame somebody else"

Chapter Two: Draco's First Broken Heart.
"Hey Draco, where have you been? We cornered a mudblood in the hall the other day just for your amusement, and no one could find you…"
Draco looked up to see the face of Blaise Zabini, looking rather perplexed at Draco's anti-social behavior. Draco sighed and shook his head.
"Pansy has gone and gotten herself engaged! She was the only girl I ever considered marrying, and know her father has gotten her betrothed! My heart cries for her, it aches without an end. I love her, Blaise, I really do, and now…." Draco trailed off. "she has me reduced to this sniveling lovesick boy, a shadow of my former glory. Look at me. I'm a Malfoy! How could she find someone better than me!"
Blaise looked at his companion with pity. "I know exactly what you should do. You need to confide in the one person who can tell you what to do, the one who knows you best."
"You don't mean…" Draco started.
"Trust me." Blaise smugly stated. "It will help."
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
"And so I must win her love, I simply must!" Draco finished his rant and looked up at his audience expectantly.
"You senseless little fool" Snape looked at Draco disinterestedly. "I have to sit hear for hours listening to your pointless little tale of woe, and you want me to help! Why should I help you?! You are simply wasting my time.'
Draco looked at his teacher with confusion. "But…but….but I love her!"
"No, you don't. You are a foolish to think that what you feel is love. You are simply drawn to her wealth, her power; you are drawn to the idea that all that she owns could be yours. You are in love with wealth, and your heart is led by your greed. What you feel is not love, so stop calling it that. Call it infatuation, call it lust, call it greed, but DO NOT CALL IT LOVE! Now listed to me when I say GET. OVER. IT!" Snape slumped in his chair, obviously exhausted by his mini-speech.
"You've never been on a date in your life, have you Professer?" Draco asked with a mean glint in his eyes.
"Get out of my sight, Malfoy. You ingratitude sickens me."
Draco wandered out of his Professors classroom, only slightly cheered by his dig at Snapes love life.
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
The first thing Draco saw when he entered the Slytherin common room was Pansy Parkinson, surrounded by a gaggle of her friends, giggling about something. Well, he didn't care what it was about. He was too proud to care.
"You want to know what there looking at don't you" Blaise appeared at Draco's side.
"Damn right I do."
"Trust me." Blaise told him. "You're better off not knowing."
Of course, that only inflamed Draco's curiosity. He sauntered over to the gaggle of girls as inconspicuously as possible, and pretented to be absorbed by the flamy-ness of the common room fire.
"…my god, look at the size of that ring!" One of the girls gasped. "He must really be in love with you!" Draco flinched as he realized what they were talking about.
"Or, he could be over compensating for the smallness of something else…" Another girl slyly commented.
Pansy just shrugged of their comments with a smile. "It was the most expensive ring my fiancé could find, he's incredibly rich and powerful, and he absolutely adores me." She laughed softly. "He will do anything I say, he's so adorable."
To Draco, these words were like poison to his heart.
"And what's more," Pansy continued, oblivious to Draco's pain, "My father went threw mountains of paper work just so I could get engaged on Valentine's Day. It must be the effect that I have on men." It was clear that Pansy loved the attention the girls in the common room and the two men in her life gave to her. She was basking in the affection and adoration. The girls were still giggling while Draco was walking over to Blaise.
"How could she do this to me? I feel like I will never be free from this heartbreak and anguish…"
"You will Draco, all you need is to take your mind of Pansy. Torturing a few mudbloods at the ball ought to cheer you up." Blaise grinned at put his hand on his friends shoulder.
Draco nodded absently, not believing a word Blaise said. He would always love Pansy. He would never be free of his need for her.
A/N I'm done! So, what do ya think! I really don't think it's that bad, but I don't know what you guys will think. Do you have any suggestions! It wasn't as long as Zvezdana's, but I have issues with writing long chapters with out dragging stuff out.
