A/n: Thanks again for all the reveiws! I wrote this chapter pretty quickly so I hope it's ok!
Draco lay on a couch across from the fire place. His white blonde hair lay lazily across his silver gray eyes. He was taking a short nap while waiting for Pansy to arrive in the common room. She skipped down the steps only a few minutes after Draco had begun to take his nap. She ran over to him when she realized he was there.
She pushed his hair from his face before kissing him quickly. He sat up and gave her room to sit down. She sat down next to him and began rattling off her plans about their date the next day. She had obviously been thinking about this ever since Draco had asked her to come with him. It made him a little sad that he would not be able to go with her.
"So I figure we'll make a quick stop to the three broomsticks at the end of the day. I would say Madame Puddifoot's but it's far too frilly there for you…" Draco thought that it was cute that she had put so much thought into the day, but was dreading the storm that would come when he told her that he could no longer go with her to Hogsmeade the next day.
"Pansy, I have something I need to tell you." Draco took her hand that had been waving around in the air while she talking. She talked with her hands all the time. Pansy stopped talking and looked at him, the smile on her face was gone immediately.
"You like someone else." Her face was no longer emotionless, now it was angry.
"No, it's nothing like that," When he said this his stomach dropped, the way it did when he lied to one of his parents, but he was telling the truth. "I just need to tell you that I can't come in to Hogsmeade tomorrow. I'm really sorry." He was getting very nervous while he waited for Pansy to blow up at him.
"You can't come?" Her eyebrows knit together. "Why not?" Pansy's jaw was set and her beady eyes were now narrowed with anger.
"I just can't. Again, I'm sorry. It wasn't my choice it's just something I have to do."
"Why can't you tell me what you're up to? I am your girlfriend I deserve to know why you're canceling on me last minute."
"I can't tell you!" Draco's voice rose higher and louder.
"You never tell me anything Draco. I've gone through all of your weird moods with you. And you still never trust me with anything from you're private life."
"Well, staying with me was your choice, I never demanded that you stay. Maybe you should have left me a long time ago."
"Yeah, maybe I should have. Maybe I will."
"You never will. You have threatened to hundreds of times and you've never done it." Draco smirked.
"I just don't get it Draco everything was going so well! We were finally going to go on our first date, you always screw everything up." Pansy frowned and stood up with her arms crossed over her chest.
"I told you that this was not my choice. I was excited for tomorrow. For once in my life I'm telling the truth that I'm sorry about this whole thing."
"I don't believe you." Pansy pouted. "You never have told me the truth and I don't think you ever will. I've gotten used to you lying to me. I just blow it off."
"But, I'm telling the truth this time." If Pansy had looked at him at that moment she would have known that he in fact was telling the truth, but she kept her back to him.
Pansy closed her eyes and pushed her hands through her hair. "You can be such a jerk sometimes Draco." She sniffed and sat on the chair next to the couch.
Draco slumped back down on the couch and yawned. He was tired and wanted the next day to come quickly just so that it would end soon also. Pansy sat in silence for a long time. Draco could indistinctly hear Pansy sniffling, but he found that he really did not care anymore.
"Look Pansy if you're not going to talk to me anymore then just go to bed."
"Do not tell me what to do. I will go to bed when I want to go and I will sit down here as long as I want." Her voice was sharp with defiance.
"Fine do what you want I'm done with you tonight."
Pansy huffed and then stood up. "I'm going to bed. I guess I'll see you tomorrow night."
"Maybe I can come to Hogsmeade later and meet up with you. We could still go to the Three Broomsticks."
"I wouldn't want to interfere with your plans." Pansy sniffed once more and then turned and walked off to the girls' dormitories.
Draco lay his head back down and sighed deeply. He hoped that everything would return to normal soon. He had thought of just breaking up with her and ending it all right then, but this was the better choice, maybe. Draco's sense of him and Pansy not being compatible had been heightened from this fight. He decided that he would deal with this problem later. For now he was too tired, too tired to even get up and walk to the boys' dormitories. He twiddled his thumbs for about an hour and his thoughts began to drift off into whatever was laying heavily on his mind. Apparently Hermione Granger was taking up a substantial part of his thoughts because she drifted in and out of his thoughts which were very confused and tired. He shook himself a few times because he didn't want to come to grips with the fact that he was without a doubt attracted to Hermione Granger. He told himself that this was not true.
