Prompt 37 - When
"No. No. No"
"Come on Asteria, I need your help."
"I don't care what you need Draco Malfoy."
"What about Pansy? This isn't about me here. This is about her."
"What's in it for you?"
"What?"
"Did I stutter? What's in it for you?"
"Nothing Asteria. How many times do I have to tell you that?"
"You can tell me that until you are blue in the face because I still won't believe it."
"Great. This is about Pansy and you want to make it about me."
"Because it is isn't it? You haven't cared one iota about that girl since fourth year."
"I did care about her. I do care about her."
"You have a funny way of showing it Draco. First, you broke her heart. Humiliated her in front of the entire Slytherin house."
"I know and I apologized to her numerous times for that."
"Then what about last year? What is your excuse for trying to throw her to the wolves then Draco?"
"No offense Asteria, I had a madman holding my family hostage and was just trying to survive."
"Oh poor pitiful Draco. You weren't the only one trying to survive last year but you were to wrapped up in yourself yet again to realize that you weren't the only one suffering."
"Fine Asteria what am I going to have to do to get you to go out with Smith?"
"Nothing because I won't do it."
"Bloody hell Asteria! Forget about me for two seconds. What about Pansy? Why aren't you trying to help us? Help her?"
"I'm not the one that has to make amends, I'm not the one who abandoned..."
"Yes you did Asteria. You abandoned her too. Do not play the high and mighty card with me and then conveniently forget that you weren't there for her either. The worst part is that I know you and I know you worked out the logic behind your parents order of distancing yourself. At least your sister abandoned her for the same reason as the rest of us."
Smack.
"I want Blaise to keep an eye on me."
"No. You are..."
Smack.
"Do you want me to do this or not?"
"Fine."
"Do I at least get to choose when?"
"No."
Smack.
