A/N: I like this one better then the 2nd chapter :P Well I hope you people like it too. Please R&R it would be helpful.
He placed his head in his hand as he sat at the dining room table for lunch with his mother. He had been Pansy free for 5 days now and as much as he liked it, it was weird. Not that he missed her, he was just used to having her around it was odd to sit there and not hearing her annoying voice telling him to take her shopping once again.
He sighed and used his fork to move his food listlessly about his plate.
Narcissa watched her son with wonder. She knew that him and Pansy had broken up hell she had been watching from the manor window happily until Pansy had walked out of sight. But Draco was brooding again, she could see just by looking into his eyes that he didn't miss the girl but was just bored and had nothing to do with all the free time on his hands now. He just needed to go and look for a more decent girl that will keep him on in toes and in line.
"Would you like to go with me to Diagon alley?" She asked curiously.
Draco looked up at her as if seeing her for the first time. "I think I'm busy today." He said and frowned trying to think of another excuse.
"Oh I had hoped I didn't have to go alone." She said quietly straining to keep the hurt, of what people had said to her every time she went there, out of her voice.
He noticed it and felt guilty for trying to worm his way out of it. He didn't want her to go there and get picked on again; he just simply wouldn't allow it. "What time are we leaving?" He asked in a tiresome tone.
Narcissa stood up and walked over to him wrapping her arms around him in a light gentle hug. "As soon as you're done with lunch." She whispered in his ear then proceeded to the door.
Draco glanced down at the food he had barely touched. "I guess I'm ready now then." He answered irritatingly.
She smiled. "I'll go get my coat. Could you prepare the carriages?"
"Of course." Draco responded and after grabbing his cloak, made his way for the stables
(Scene change)
Draco walked along side his mother as they made there way through Diagon Alley to get to Madam Malkin's because Narcissa claimed she needed a new robe.
"Wait outside here dear, I'll be back." She put a hand on his shoulder and then disappeared inside the shop.
He leaned against the building casually.
"It must say it's about time." Draco heard the familiar voice through the crowd and smiled as he saw a former Slytherin from Hogwarts who he had actually called his friend...well sometimes.
"What?" he asked curiously looking into the shining hazel colored eyes of Lavena Boland.
She smirked at him and made her way in his direction. "When I heard you two broke up, I thought what the hell took you so long?" The brunette slid her way towards him gracefully. "I had always wondered when you're brains would kick back in." She leaned on the wall next to him and waited for him to answer expectantly.
He rolled his eyes and instead of answering placed his elbow on the short woman's head. "Did you shrink?" He asked making fun of her 4'11 height.
She pushed him away. "I was, unfortunately, talking to Tracy Davis and she told me that Pansy was thinking about dropping in for a visit at the manor so I'd keep my eyes open. Especially if you are trying to avoid the pug." She glared as she spotted a group walking their way.
Draco saw her eyes and followed her viewpoint and groaned.
"I'll talk to you later." Lavena glided away wanting to not get into this.
Ginny acted like she hadn't noticed them and walked straight into the shop.
But Draco being the Slytherin he was wasn't going to let her tag-alongs follow. "Well, well fancy meeting you here." He sneered.
Ron Weasley's face turned bright red with anger and he reached in his robes for his wand. "Move out of the way Malfoy before I hex you."
Draco snorted then diverted his eyes to Granger and Potter. "It's a pity you're still hanging out with the Mudblood." He shook his head disgusted.
Hermione bit her lip to keep quiet.
"Shut your trap Malfoy." Harry hissed pulling out his wand as well.
He turned his attention to the boy who lived. "And what are you going to do if I don't? Disarm me?" He mocked.
"I can do more then that." Hermione said her wand pointing at his chest.
Draco didn't doubt she could, even for a Mudblood she was much smarter then these two gits. He was about to reply when they all heard a scream come from within the shop.
He didn't hesitate knowing his mother was in there, ran in with the trio on his heals.
"And don't you ever talk about something you have no idea about." Ginny Weasley lectured dangerously as she rubbed her bloody hand.
Narcissa was standing behind the redheaded girl in utter shock.
There was a wizard, they never did get his name, standing there holding his nose as blood poured generously out of it.
"If I ever hear you say something like that again I will personally murder you myself." She yelled losing her temper. "Now get out of my sight." She used her good hand to point towards the exit.
The wizard scampered out of the way and down the street as fast as he could.
Everyone turned to look at Ginny who was currently taking in long deep breaths in order to control herself. "Ginny are you okay?" Hermione asked running over to her and muttering as blue sparks flew from her wand and healed Ginny's wounded hand.
"I'm fine." She muttered still trying to calm down.
"What happened?" Draco demanded turning to his mother. If that man had hurt her in any way, Draco was going to run down the street himself and do more then just punch his nose as it looked like Ginny had done.
"Nothing." Narcissa said turning away ashamed.
Seeing he wasn't going to get anything out of his mother he fixed his gaze on Ginny. "What happened Weasley!" He glared at her.
Ginny still angry glared at him back more dangerously. "He called her a murdering, Voldemort worshiping, whore. So I hit him."
Ron blinked at his sister. "Why didn't you use your wand and hex him?" He asked in puzzling way.
"I don't know." Ginny looked like she was coming out of a trance. "I didn't think of it, I just heard what he said and knew he was wrong and out of line...so I hit him." She frowned and glanced at the floor like it suddenly was more interesting.
"Lets get out of this shop." Ron muttered as they all made there way towards the door.
Draco not walking far from Ginny stopped abruptly. "I guess I owe you a thanks."
Ginny backed away from him hearing the warning bells in her head go off. "Really, no need." She quickened her pace but Draco, seeing they were alone for the moment, grabbed her arm.
He pushed her behind the door out of view of everyone else and bent down and kissed her on the cheek tenderly. "Thank you." He whispered in her ear then departed quickly out of the door.
Ginny stood there her anger drained and placed her hand to her cheek astonished. She could still feel his lips brushing her cheek. She let out the breath she hadn't realized she had been holding.
"Ginny are you coming?" Harry asked peeking his head in the shop looking for her. When he spotted her he sighed. "We thought you had vanished. Are you coming?" He asked again with concern visible on his face.
"Yeah...I'm coming." She looked around the room confused and walked out with Harry.
(Scene change)
Draco paced his chambers as he continued to think. He had kissed her! Of all the people to kiss. It was on the cheek but still. Why didn't he think of shaking her hand or give her money! He thought the last part a little meanly.
He spun around and faced the entrance when he heard a knock on the door. "Come in." He barked.
A servant stood on the threshold of the chambers and held her head down. "You have a visitor." She paused. "She claims she has to see you, it's important."
He ran his fingers through his hair impatiently. "Who is it?" He snapped forcefully then stopped and asked again. "I meant who is it?" He asked more nicely. He hadn't meant to take his frustrations out on her.
"I believe she said her name was Pansy Parkinson and had said that you will see her or she'll cause a big scene." The servant looked around nervously and waited for Draco yell at her once more.
Draco shook his head and sighed. Knowing Pansy she probably would cause a big scene, not that it would matter to anyone in the manor but it would just be an annoyance. Leave it to Lavena to find the truthful gossip. "Go ahead and let her in." He pursed his lips together in thought. "Show her to my study, I'll be waiting." He stomped off down the hall as he heard the servant scuttle off.
Not long after he arrived in the study he heard Pansy's recognizable stomping on the stone floor. He could tell by the sound that she was angry already and he hadn't said anything yet.
He didn't turn around when he heard them stop in the doorframe. "What do you want? Have you come here for money?"
Pansy growled as she made her way toward the desk and leaned against it. "How dare you ask me if I came for money." She threw some of the papers on the desk aside just for something to toss. "I'm not a poor Weasley." She cried.
"Well then what did you come here for?" Draco asked sitting in the chair and looked angrily at the papers she threw.
"I came here to here you apologize. I've given you a couple of days to let it set in and think and I've given you enough time to come to a decision." She crossed her arms over her chest as she waited.
Draco laughed dryly and looked at her bored. "I'm happy with the decision I made. I'm getting more done without you being here." He lied. Not that he wasn't it's just he hadn't had anything to do in order to get anything done. "The manors been peaceful without your whining voice. It's rather nice actually. And I had hoped it would continue but... here you are."
Pansy seeing that her yelling was getting her nowhere decided on a different tactic. She wailed and fell to the floor and scurried across it and put her head in Draco's lap. "I can't go on like this, I miss you too much." She sobbed getting his trousers wet as she wiped her face all over them. Causing Draco to look down at her disgustingly. "If you don't take me back I'll kill myself." She was about to wipe her nose on his pants but he pushed her away that being the last straw.
"Well don't expect me to be at the funeral." He replied coldly and pulled out a handkerchief and started to wipe his pant leg. "Damn it, I just got these cleaned."
"How can you be so cruel?" She sniffed still sitting on the ground.
"It's just who I am. I was just never mean to you all the time because you were my girlfriend. But..." He grinned happily. "Now that you're not I don't have to worry about it anymore, I can be as mean to you as I want because I don't like you."
"You used to." She pouted her trademark pout.
"Yeah well you know some interesting news came my way." He paused and stood up pacing the room. "I heard you had been snogging Higgs behind my back." He turned to her then and gave her a deathly glare. "Had I known that you would've been gone a long time ago."
Pansy pulled herself off up. "Oh and it was okay for you to flirt with Queenie Greengrass?" She replied with bitterness in her voice.
"Please, flirting and snogging are two completely different things." He started to walk toward her.
She backed up feeling that being in the room right now with him could be dangerous. "What was I suppose to do? You weren't doing anything with me anymore, you wouldn't even really look at me." She shrieked starting to think coming here had been a bad idea.
"Of course I wasn't." He said not arguing with the comment. "You were nagging in my ear all the time, annoying me too much for me to even think about having sex with you let alone even kissing you."
Pansy was speechless as she watched him advance toward her.
Draco stopped a couple of inches away. "Now I want you off my property. I never want to see you again. I don't want to hear your voice again."
Pansy lifted her chin defiantly. "It's a good thing then that I cast it." She muttered to herself not realizing she had said it loud enough for Draco to hear.
"Cast what?" He glared at her looking ready to pounce.
She yelped and fearfully began to back away again not sure of what he would do.
"I'm going to ask you again. CAST WHAT!" He yelled and when she continued to be silent he grabbed her by her collar and slammed her hard into the wall.
She winced as pain coursed through her. "Calm down Draco or I'm not going to tell you." She put her hands over his trying to pry him away.
He let go of her and stepped back but not too far away if she tried to run or if she said the wrong thing he could pounce her again.
"I was angry and hurt. I didn't understand why you had broken up with me. So when I left the manor I fled to Knockturn Alley and got a couple of Dark Magic books." She swallowed.
"And..." Draco started to tap his foot her was becoming so impatient.
"Well I put a curse on you that basically you have to get Ginny Weasley to fall in love with you before the 5th of next month." She said quickly.
Draco not sure how to react looked at her confused. "You what?" He whispered stumbling backwards.
Pansy seeing her opportunity started for the exit.
Draco watching her flee grabbed her arm. "Take it off." He growled.
Pansy blushed and directed her eyes to the floor embarrassed. "That's just it, I'm not sure how."
Draco losing his temper punched the wall behind her putting a hole in it. He would've loved to hit her but he doesn't hit girls unfortunately. "You don't know how?" He asked quietly.
"No." She squeaked.
"You better find out how!" He yelled and threw her to the floor angrily.
"I'll try..." She trailed off sniffing back the tears that threatened to fall.
"No Pansy you better not try, you better do it. Because I swear that if I die, you die." She could tell by the murderous look he gave her meant just that too.
"What are you going to do until I do." She asked getting up and making her way out the door and pausing to hear what he was going to say.
He ran his hands through his hair. "The only thing I can do..." He sighed. "Seduce a Weasley."
