Draco groaned as he rolled over to the side of his bed and sat up. It felt like the Weird Sisters were still rocking on, but inside his head. Just as he was considering that maybe drinking the sneaked in firewhiskey last night was not the best of actions when Blaize entered their shared dorm room.
"I ran into Parkinson in the hallway without her underwear on. P.S - congratulations."
"Pansy?" Draco frowned. "How could you tell she didn't have any underwear?"
Blaize ignored his friend's question and handed him a potion vial instead. "I thought you might be recovering from a nasty hangover. Here."
Draco took the offered vial of Hangover Cure and downed it in one swallow. "Remind me never to drink firewhiskey again. Ever."
"The hangover is still that bad even after the potion?"
"No it's the potion itself. Tastes awful."
"Ah."
Draco didn't need to look to know that Blaize was smirking. His friend's tone alone told him he was. Remembering Blaize's earlier comment.
Had he slept with Pansy?
Probably. Maybe. He couldn't remember.
It really didn't matter. They weren't serious. They didn't have a sure future together or with anyone else for that matter. No contract, verbal or written, had been signed by their parents.
Pansy was alright; a good Slytherin and a decent girl; but he suspected that she was only interested in him due to her parents' guidance, but it didn't stop him from enjoying her company. Most of the time anyway.
"She left you a note," Blaize observed as he cocked his head in an attempt to read the scribble that was Pansy's handwriting. He smirked as Draco snatched the half sheet of parchment off his pillow.
"Do you mind?" Draco murmured but no venom was behind it. He was too busy decihpering Pansy's note.
Blaize brows rose when Draco's mouth dropped opened. Not a good sign when reading a note from the girl you obviously shagged the night before. "Trouble in paradise?"
"She dumped me."
Ah, a Dear John letter, or Dear Draco in this case.
"She had the nerve to criticize my technique. I was, quote, 'truly disappointing' and 'unrefined'."
"And were you?"
"Of course not." he automatically objected before considering the last night's events. It had been the graduation ball. He remembered smirking over Potter's and Weasley's robes. They had been more recent than the ones they had used during the Yule Ball but they were still a season behind. Then he had started drinking after seeing Granger make her grand entrance on Fred Weasley's arm. (Talk about a surprise couple). Beyond that he remembered nothing till he had awoken. "I don't know," he finally admitted.
"So, can't remember." Blaize paused. "You probably did perform poorly."
Blaize greeted the two finger salute that Draco threw him with a good laugh.
