We returned the very same night. The next day, we were back to work. We were running a lot behind schedule. "Action!"

We were eating when Hermione spoke up, "Seriously? They could've paired me up with anybody, but him? It's outrageous" "It hurts that you would speak so low of me, Granger" Draco said sarcastically as he sat down beside me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I poked a roast potato on my fork and took it to my mouth. "Dinner" he said casually. "Come on, Pans', it's long overdue" Blaise said and all of our heads snapped in their direction.

"Montgomery" Pansy said with a single nod. She looked nervous. Her cheeks were flushed and her hands were folded over her chest. "Yes?" I said as I put my fork down. "I, erm, I just wanted to apologize, f-for everything" she said looking at me and then at Draco.

"Whatever I did to you, over the years, it would seem like, that I did it because I was jealous of you. That you were close to Draco more than I was" she said and I nodded. "Everyone thought that, including you and me" she added and I picked my fork back up, before I could say anything, she said, "But it wasn't that"

I furrowed my eyebrows at her and waited for her to complete. She gulped and Blaise tried to hold a laugh in. What was so funny? "It-It was because, I was actually jealous of Draco" she completed and I spoke up, "Why would-" and then it hit me.

She liked me.

I opened my mouth to speak but Draco cut me off, "I knew it!" he said and put an arm around my waist and pulled me closer. "What? How do you know?" I asked and he looked at me. "Sixth year, Amortentia class, she smelled you because I smelled the same thing" Draco said and he couldn't seem to pull me closer.

I was wrong, I thought Draco had smelled Pansy and that she had smelled Draco but the both of them had smelled me. "Really Parkinson? First me and now my girlfriend?" Draco asked looking at her and shaking his head. "It's alright, Parkinson. You know, water under the bridge" I said smiling at her. She sighed loudly, smiling and unfolded her hands.

"Yeah, you would forgive her so easily, now that she likes you" Draco said at my forgiveness. "I warn you, Pansy. She's mine. And you know better not to touch what's mine" he said gritting his teeth while his grip around me tightened. "Don't worry, but I will let you know, that when you screw up, I'll be there to swoop in" Pansy said making me giggle.

"Get in line" I heard Rafael shout from the Ravenclaw table. I giggled and looked at Draco. He didn't seem angry or mad jealous. Yes, he was jealous but tried to control it. I liked when Draco would get jealous. Or when he would act out of jealousy and slam me up against a wall and fuck me senseless.

I snapped out of my ungodly and erotic thoughts when I saw Pansy and Blaise leave for their table. I cleared my throat and said, "Parkinson" She turned around and said, "Pansy" I smiled and said, "Join us" "You don't mind?" she asked looking around. Everyone was silent.

"No, we don't" I said breaking the silence. She sat down and we all continued to talk. The others weren't accustomed to the Slytherins sitting at the table and I reckon they would never in the future as well.

"So, Head Boy, huh?" I said as I dug into my bowl of ice cream. The bowl had 10 different scoops of ice cream. Strawberry, Blackberry, Vanilla, Butterbeer, Blueberry, Peppermint, Raspberry, Caramel, Nuts and my favorite Chocolate. I ate all the other flavors first and kept chocolate for the last. "Yeah, aren't you proud?" he asked smirking and I looked at his bowl. He had his last scoop as well – Chocolate.

"I saved it for you, darling" he said kissing my cheek and I smiled widely. I felt bad to take his dessert, I mean, he liked ice cream a lot, so I didn't want to seem rude. "I, erm, no, no, I have mine-" "Nonsense, I know you love chocolate more than me, so, have it. Plus, you'll be my dessert later" he said definitely not whispering the last part.
