Yey, I've finally finished re-editing and re-writing this chapter. Back whenI first wrote this, I had fun writing this chapter. Hope you love reading it as well. Please Read and REVIEW, I want to know YOUR opinion on what I've written. Thanks! -Toki

PS. If you have already read this chapter before, I suggest that you return to the first one, seeing as I had added many details in to the story, including the previous chapters.

Malfoy Manor, a memory reminisced

Pansy returned to the mansion, her once uplifted moment dashed by the realization that Draco had NO interest at all in her. What had she done that made him detest her so much? Was it the way she dressed? Or the way she kept her hair? It couldn't have been her face since she and Rose were identical twins.

Departing from the limousine, door held open,she entered the hall. There was nothing but silence that awaited her there. It was a good thing too since I do not want anyone to see me in such a foul mood. She hurriedly rushed up the stairs and into her sanctuary, in the privacy of her bedroom. Moments after she had gotten dressed, and washed her face clean of any remaining make-up, she plopped herself into her canopy bed and sighed.

The door suddenly burst open as Rose rushed inside, a big smile on her face. She rushed to her sisters' side and jumped unto her bed, tucking her feet in and holding a pillow to her stomach.

"Welcome back Pansy!" greeted Rose as she looked upon Pansy's downtrotted face. I wonder why she's so blue, Rose thought to herself. "Did you have a great time? I purposely left the two of you alone so that you could get to know each other. I hoped it work, though I wonder why you've arrived home so early."

Pansy glared at Rose as she spoke, but her eyes softened when she found out that her sister had done that for her. She couldn't put the entire blame on Rose, who had done nothing but push Draco away. It wasn't her fault that she was so popular and well-loved by everyone. Yet at the same time, as she remembered how EVERYONE had always chosen Rose over her, her temper started rising again.

We are twins, yet why are we so different? Maybe Rose had gotten all the popular genes, and I got all the lousy ones. A definite possibility!

Her thoughts were interrupted again by Rose, who had repeated the question she asked earlier.

"Damn it all. Stop being so nosy and butting into my business." Pansy exploded, as she felt all her pent up frustrations surfacing. "When Draco found out that you weren't planning on coming, he decided that he suddenly had a previous engagement to attend to. To hell with it Rose!"

Rose's expression turned morose as she finally understood her sisters' feelings. She didn't say a word, as she let Pansy continue on.

'Do you k-know.."Tears began forming in Pansy's eyes, as she began whimpering. "He wasn't even paying me a bit of attention. It was either he was drumming his hands on the table, or he was staring into space and looking at the door. He was waiting for YOU the entire time." She buried her face in her sisters' lap, as she continued crying her eyes out, in hopes that everything would all go away.

"Well, he shouldn't have gotten his hopes up. I thought my feelings towards him were clear and he should have gotten the message. Pansy, he's your fiancé; you shouldn't put up with this sort of thing." Rose implied, trying to make the best out of the situation.

"But-----" Pansy continued, but stopped when an owl suddenly entered the room from the window and dropped a letter on Rose's lap. It left as quickly as it had come in...

Dears, we have arranged to meet Mr. Malfoy later on in the evening.

Please make sure that you are properly dressed, as you know, we have something important to discuss.

Take a short nap, to make sure that the both of you are well rested for the evening,

especially you Pansy.

-Mother

"I want to take a nap. I'm quite tired after what we've been through today. I suggest you do the same." Rose suggested, taking her sisters' head in her arms and laying it down on the pillow she was holding. She stood up from the bed, and quietly left the room and entered her own.

Pansy soon fell asleep after that...

Awaking quite awhile later, Rose had already finished dressing up when she took a peek into her sisters' chambers. Still fast asleep, I better wake her up. Rose slowly approached the canopy bed and began nudging her sister awake. Pansy refused to pay heed to her sisters actions and continued sleeping. Annoyed, Rose started poking her sister all over, until at last she had woken up.

"Hm.." A groggy Pasnsy grumbled as she rubber her eyes, looking at her sisters figure.

"Let's get up dressed up, shall we?" Rose suggested, running back into her room and returning with an armful of her own clothes. She dropped them into the bed and began picking from the variety that was laid out.

Disturbed by her sisters actions, Pansy asked. "What are you doing?"

Not looking away from the task at hand, Rose gave a short reply. "I'm helping you get dressed. Here try this on." she thrust a dress into her sisters direction and watched as it almost-fitted on her body.

Pansy walked to the mirror and gazed at her own reflection. Her sister had dressed her in something that made her look mature, simple yet stunning. She twirled around, watching the dress flow and flutter around her. She was dressed in a slevelessblack dress that nearly fitted her, and showed some of her curves. Paired with silver step-ins, she looked raring to go.

Her sister on the other hand had dressed in something more formal. She wore a black, wrist-long dress with silver sequinsthat hugged every curve of her body, and reached the ground. It even had a tail at the back, that moved and flowed as she did. Rose's hair was curled and hung loosely around her face, accentuating her maturity as a woman.

Looking at her sister, with both envy and gratitude she said nothing. Since we are twins, one day I will look like that, won't I? Pansy thought as she and Rose walked down the stairs and into the limousine.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Draco's mansion, not far away from their own home. It was obviously a bigger estate, and had much more detail and design put into the landscape.

"Welcome toour mansion..." Dracogreeted as he welcomed the Parkinson's into his mansion. He quickly offered his arm to Rose who purposely avoided it and walked around Draco, while Pansy took his arm.

Lucius Malfoy appeared from behind Draco and greeted them. "Ah, Peter and Cherry Parkinson, we haven't seen each other in quite a while.", he said with a smile, offering his hand to shake both of his close friends.

"Lucius, how have you been." Peter replied, taking his hand. "My daughter Rose explained the situation that occurred awhile ago in Diagon Alley and I wanted it explained to them as soon as possibble. Isn't that right, darling" Peter turned his attention to his wife.

"Yes it is dear." Cherry said in response, "Let us go into your library and talk amongst ourselves with our children, Lucius."

Lucius nodded and pointed towards the direction of the library. "By the way, Narcissa won't be able to make it to the meeting. She had something else planned for tonight."

"No worries."

Walking towards the library, Draco suddenly disappeared from Pansy's side and appeared at the door of the library, opening it for Rose.

"Quite a gentleman you have there, Lucius." Cherry saidlooking at Draco with approval.

Rose almost snorted at this comment but stopped herself. 'Snorting isn't ladylike' her mother would say to her.

They walked into a grand room with the walls covered from top to bottom. Shelves that reached from the ceilings to the floor filled the corners with numerous books. In the center of the room, there were a number of couches that had been placed for visitors and guests. Another chair was set aside for Lucius own personal use, draped in red velvet, it stood a fewfeet away from the couches.Lucius sat onhis chair while Cherry and Peter sat on a double-seater couch. The twins and Draco sat themselves on a triple-seater couch.

At first, Draco sat beside Rose in this arrangement, (Pansy-Rose-Draco) but then, Rose stood, exchanged places with Pansy and sat herself femininely and comfortably on the other side of the couch.

Draco sighed again...

Rose again stood up and walked over to the large window, watching as the sunset reached its end for the day. While gazing, her thoughts brought her back to her childhood when she had been in this house on that day.

Lucius, Cherry and Peter on the other hand took no notice of her and began talking amongst themselves and remembering stories from their days at Hogwarts.

A tall thin woman stood beside a small blonde boy, smiling at him as she spoke. "And Draco, you can pick whomever from my daughters you want." Cherry said as she pushed her two daughters forward.

At that time, Pansy and Rose still looked very much alike and it was hard to tell them apart. Both wore yellow dresses, and a white bonnet on their head. Both of them also had their hair in short braids behind their back, making it hard for anyone distant to tell the twins apart.

"Ugh. I don't want to marry him," a familiar voice silently said to herself. It was Rose, and this was when she was still 6 years old.

"Now the three of you, we will leave you to play amongst yourselves while we talk big adult business ok?"Narcissa said leaving the children in a big playroom, waving good-bye to her son as she closed the door.

"What is mommy talking about?" a shy girl said yawning. It was Pansy. The trip had interrupted her afternoon nap and she was already very sleepy. So she walked over to one of the couches, and fell asleep almost immediately. Nothing could wake her at this point.

'HI Draco." Rose said as she walked towards the confused blonde.. She had a plan up her sleeve to keep herself from marrying him.

"Uhm, which twin are you?" Draco asked Rose quietly, he was still a shy boy and nervous around girls.

"Oh. I'm Pansy. That's my sister Rose over there, the one sleeping." Rose said pointing to Pansy, asleep on the couch.

Draco looked at her with his innocently naive eyes."Oh okay. What do you want?"

Rose smiled at him and said that she wanted to play with him.

And so, while little Pansy lay sleeping on the couch, unaware of the events that had unfolded; Rose posed as her sister and played with Draco. After awhile, Draco overcame his shyness and actually enjoyed playing with this little girl. Throughtout the entire time, he thought that he was playing with Pansy; and decided that such a fun girl would be a nice person to spend the rest of his life with.

When playtime was over and Draco was asked whom he wanted to marry, all he said was, "I pick Pansy. Rose didn't play with me, She slept the whole time..." he politely said to Auntie Cherry.

Cherry gave a small look of shock before she smiled. What a smart-aleck daughter she had. But since Draco said "Pansy." Pansy it was and the marriage contract was signed.

"So that's it." Lucius concluded as Rose's thoughts returned to reality.

"Yes. After they graduate from Hogwarts, Draco and Pansy will wed." Peter agreed with a smile.

Rose returned to the couch looking smugly at Draco and Pansy.

"I presume both of you understood the contract that was read and agreed upon, Draco and Pansy?" Lucius asked as the two silently looked at them.

"Yes father..." Draco responded in a sarcastically monotonic way.

Pansy on the other hand responded ecstatically."Yes Mr. Malfoy!"

"Since that's settled, let me show you to the dining room. You must be hungry after that discussion that we had. I'll see both of you in a week at the Hogwarts Express, or sooner I hope." Lucius said showing the Parkinson's to a large mahogany table

They then sat down to dinner and continued chatting the rest of the night. On the way home, the thoughts that filled her mind were that of the trick that she had played on Draco.
