A/N: Hello people, sorry for the lack of updates recently, I had much Drama down here in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, this was a request from a mate of mine and for once it's not femslash! -shock and horror- It's Justin Flinch-Fletchley and Pansy Parkinson. Enjoy and review damn you!
Futile
Justin Finch-Fletchley sat in the back of the Transfiguration class, attempting to pay attention to the lesson and failing horribly. His gaze kept straying to a certain black-haired Slytherin in the front row, watching the way she was playing with her quill, she wasn't paying attention either. Susan realized who he was watching and rolled her eyes, sincerely hoping that he would get over this crush soon, but it was futile Justin had had this "thing" for Parkinson since at least third year, it was now sixth and the idiot still hadn't given up. He was setting himself up for failure, all his friends knew it and they had told him so, but he had brushed off their warnings. Hannah had by now noticed Justin's lack of attention, sighed and furiously waved her hand in front of his face to bring him back to reality. Justin jumped and swore at the movement, dragging Ernie's attention to him. Ernie surveyed the scene with severe disinterest before smacking the back of Justin's head. Sadly, McGonagall noticed and began screaming at them, every Slytherin in the room turned to them, smirking, Pansy's the largest of all. She leaned over and whispered something in Zabini's ear and both collapsed in fits of silent giggles. As McGonagall finished her rant, Justin watched Pansy as she laughed and almost smiled, not realizing the joke they had shared was about him, Leanne and Zacharias noticed though and sent identical death glares at Pansy. The glares made Pansy laugh even harder. The bell rang and everyone packed up to leave, Pansy wiping tears of mirth off her cheeks. Justin and Pansy reached the door at the same moment; Justin smiled and took a step back, allowing Pansy to go through first. Pansy sneered at him and hissed under her breath "What are you smiling at, mudblood?" Every Hufflepuff who heard the statement reeled; Susan even attempted to tackle Pansy, Megan having to hold her back to prevent an incident. Pansy smirked at the anger on the Hufflepuff's faces before turning on her heel and walking away. She never saw the way Justin's face fell, she would never know that it took him a full week to smile properly again. She would never know, because she was Pansy Parkinson and he was just a mudblood.
Megan would be Megan Jones said by queen Rowling to be a Hufflepuff in Harry's year, Leanne is the friend of Katie Bell's who was there during the necklace incident and is also said to be a Hufflepuff in Harry's year. You'll probably recognize Ernie MacMillan, Zacharias Smith, Hannah Abbot, Susan Bones and Blaise Zabini. Thanks for reading.
