Chapter Four

Getting Ready for the Dance and Trying to find a date

When pansy got upstairs from the Great Hall Millie started yelling at her for being so late.

"Calm down Millie all I have to do it change I can do my make-up and my hair with my wand it's not that hard."

"I know but this is the year I want to get you a boyfriend because I don't like seeing you mope around when your friends have boyfriends so I am getting you one before this semester is over. Now what do you think of Draco?"

"What does that have to do with finding me a boyfriend?"

"Well it doesn't I just wanted to know if you like him or what's up with you two you know I'm just curious."

"Well if you must know and Millie you cannot tell anyone this I swear I would die inside, well I kind of have a small crush on Draco I realized like last week. I mean his hair is so blonde and his eyes are so blue and you know he has a cute butt."

"Sounds like you are in love Pansy are you ever going to do anything about it?"

"No I don't think so Draco is just my best friend that is all I will ever be to him just one of the guys I'm used to it and I have accepted it, well I'm changed now I am going to go downstairs and watch all the couples kissing and well yeah its so depressing."

"Hell no you are not leaving this room in the same clothes that you came here in you were so into talking about Draco you thought you changed but you really didn't wow Pansy you have it bad for your best friend."

"I know Millie I know well I should change, well I think I know the outfit I want to wear its well I don't want to tell you yet let me change and you can tell me then what you think please Millie."

"You know I would anything for you Pansy you are the only one who came over and talked to me in first year because everyone thought I was weird, well I am but you looked past that so sure show me what you got."

"You know you are right you are weird but I still love you hold on let me change."

Pansy went into the back part of the room to find where her clothes were. She went into her closet and pulled out a really tight pair of jeans that had a big snake down the side of the pants done in silver and green sequence, and the shirt was black really tight with a little hint of cleavage and the shirt said

" I know I look hot". She walked out and went to show Millie, when she got there she did a twirl around to show her everything. The look in Millie's face said everything, Pansy looked hot.

"Oh My God Pansy you look so pretty but hot at the same time those pants and the shirt it all matches so well. If you don't get a couple of guys asking you to dance tonight then something is wrong with the boys in this school. Although we could go down to the common room and try and find you a date so you will have a guaranteed dancing partner."

"Okay fine I will and Millie thanks for telling me your real view on my outfit I want to look good for tonight, you are my only true friend besides Draco and Blaise."

"Any time honey, I mean you, Theo, Blaise, and Draco are my only friends. Let's go get you a date or a boyfriend either one works right?"

"Sure Millie lets just go downstairs now, and try to find me someone."

When they walked downstairs the common room was almost empty the only people in there were Draco, Blaise, and Teddy. When they walked down the stairs Teddy came and grabbed Millie's arm and whispered something in her ear.

"But Teddy I can't right now I'm supposed to help Pansy find a date or a boyfriend for tonight."

"Millie I think that if Pansy can't find a date for herself then she shouldn't have one anyways."

Teddy not realizing how loud he said that looked over to see Pansy's eyes tearing up a little.

"You don't think I know that Theodore I have tried to get a date I can't because I am not pretty like all the other girls in this house and the rest of the school. I'm sorry Millie I should have told you straight off it wouldn't work nobody likes me like that I am either too short, too pale, just one of the guys I am sick of it I'm not going to the dance."

At this point Pansy ran up the stairs crying nobody moved for a few seconds. Then Millie turned towards Teddy and whispered loudly.

"Theo why did you say that, you really hurt her feelings really bad."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to come out that its just I was upset because I had something to give you and I wanted to give it to you right away and I didn't want to wait anymore."

Before Millie could even start talking Draco interrupted her.

"Theo, Millie you two go to what you have to do I'll go up and talk to her she usually listens to me."

"Are you sure Man; I mean I feel really bad now that I said that?"

"Don't worry about it Theo she'll be okay I'll see you two at the dance in a little bit."

When Draco said this Millie and Theo walked to the door and walked out to go to the dance.

"Blaise, you go ahead too I'll deal with it on my own she won't talk to both of us at the same time, you know this as well as I do."

"Okay your right about that one but if you aren't down at the dance in 30 minutes I'm coming to check up on you."

"Okay that's fine I'll be upstairs with Pansy."

With that said Blaise walked out the door and Draco went and got his broom and flew up the girl's staircase. When he opened the door his heart almost broke in two, there was Pansy face down on her bed, her body completely racked with sobbing and tough breathing from crying so much. Draco walked over to her and laid down next to her and started rubbing her back and consoling her.

"Pansy sweetie stop crying come on its Drake I'm here for you."

Pansy heard Draco's voice and turned around and looked him in the face and started crying even harder.

"Drake why am I so ugly why doesn't any guys like me?"

"Honey you are not ugly you are so pretty I don't know how many times I can tell you that until you believe me, Theo didn't really mean what he said he was just upset he wanted some alone time with Millie."

"I'm sorry I am such a basket case if it weren't for me you could be at the dance, with some girl you really want to be with."

"Pansy there is nowhere I would rather be than right here with you, you're my best friend and the prettiest girl in the whole school."

"Drake I don't know what I would do without you, you make me smile every time I see you and if I don't want to smile you still make me."

"That's my job honey, now dry your tears and let's go to the dance we can be each other's dates I don't have one either."

"Really you wouldn't mind going with me; I mean are you really sure Drake?"

"If I wasn't sure then would I have asked you to go with me?"

"No I guess not well let me go dry my face really fast then we can go."

Pansy went into the bathroom and dried her eyes and fixed her hair and make-up and walked into the common room where Draco was waiting for her. Together they walked down to the dance and walked in arm and arm. Millie looked over to the door and saw them together, and looked at Blaise and gave him a smirk. Blaise looked over at the two of them as well and frowned, although he was happy that Pansy wasn't crying anymore he still didn't want to lose his money.

As soon as they walked in one of Pansy's favorite songs came on the speakers it was a slow song call "I'll be". Draco knew it was one of her favorite songs so he took her out onto the dance floor and wrapped his long arms around her dainty waist and pulled her close to him, she rested her head on his chest breathing in his scent. As the music and vocals started in the song Draco leaned closer to her ear and started to sing the song in her ear.

"Pansy this is my song to you I will always be your crying shoulder no matter where I am or where you are just remember that."

"Drake you are the sweetest guy and the best friend any girl could ever ask for tonight has meant the world to me. Even though I know that being a nice guy isn't you're best quality I still appreciate it."

"You are the best friend I could ever ask for too. As long as you don't tell people I am actually nice ha-ha: by the way Pansy you smell really good tonight."

"Wow Draco thanks, and you defiantly are special, and I wouldn't want you any other way."

Draco and Pansy pretty much danced for the rest of the night taking a few minutes break here and there but other than that they were dancing. Then Dumbledore announced that the dance was now over and everyone would have to return to their rooms for the night. Everyone started headed towards the doors going back up to their rooms. On the way to the room Draco had his arm around Pansy the whole time. When they got into the common room Pansy said she was tired and decided to go to bed early. She said goodnight to Millie, Blaise, Theo, and the idiots, then she went to say goodnight to Draco.

"Thank you for an amazing night I will never forget it Drake."

"Anytime honey I would do anything for you, now you go get some sleep and I will see you in the morning for school bright and early."

"Shut up I don't want to think about school but yea thanks again Drake goodnight."

Draco and Pansy went to hug each other and they wrapped their arms around each other and Draco leaned down and planted a kiss right on the corner of her mouth and cheek.

"Goodnight Parkinson ha-ha."

"Goodnight Ferret boy."
