Dramione: The Kill Task

3 ✧The Hogwarts Express

[Draco]

01/09/97

Hulling my heavy trunk through the Hogwarts Express to find a booth to sit down in, I pass the booth the mudblood chose to occupy, sitting all alone reading the Daily Profit. I keep a mental note of the car she's in so I can come back when Weasley arrives.

Continuing on a few more cars I spot Theo and Blaize in a booth talking to someone. Perfect, I was starting to get worried that I wasn't going to get a place to sit. I slide open the door and everyone stops talking upon seeing it's me. Pansy stands right in the middle of the booth hunched over. Straightening up she crosses her arms and fixes me with a glare. Of course, that self-centred brat just had to be in here. Theo always was flirting with her, even throughout our relationship.

We stand there in silence glaring at each other until the train unexpectedly lurches forward. She falls at the sudden change in velocity but I stay up with little more than a graceful sway. I Smirk at her sprawled across the dirty train floor. She's pissed as I stand over her. She isn't worth my time or breath but I have a few things I've wanted to say since I broke up with her.

"Look at that. You're where you belong. On the floor inviting people to walk all over you." 

"You obviously didn't need an invitation to do so, you invited yourself."

"Someone needed to take you down a few tiers."

"So you emit that you were manipulating and cheating on me then."

"No, I just liked you and wanted to date you. Then I found out that you twist things people say into things they didn't to make yourself the victim of everything. Like you just did two seconds ago. You're a basic, self-centred asshole who's insecure about everything. What you say, do, wear, look like. You second-guess everything. You don't cover it up well. Everyone can see through your mask. That's why you have so many enemies and so few friends." 

"Says the secret keeper with daddy issues."

"You want to bring those topics up. Fine. How many times did you cheat on me? We're not together anymore. You can tell me now," I pause and she just stares back. "Cat got your tongue?" I push.

"6 times and they were the 6 best times I had that whole year." 

"You boast of it. Well for all your overthinking, all your clingy behaviour. None of it did anything. I cheated 8 times. I'm sure you've heard the rumours that I'm the best fuck in the school. Those aren't just rumoured with no basis. I wasn't planning on cheating but you were so obviously cheating on me. You were so excessively clingy then suddenly gone. Then after you would look for signs I was cheating to make yourself feel better. You bloody accused me of sleeping with Granger you were so paranoid. A mudblood. Yet for all the times I cheated never once did you get a signal right. I only cheated because you did, that was completely your fault. As to your secret keeper comment. How do you expect me to share things with you when whenever I did you used it as a gossip token and spread it across the whole school? You're such gossip. I just hope for the poor next soul that dates you, you learn the words boundaries, trust and no," She sat mouth agape on the floor. "Can't handle the truth?"

"Ok Draco, you need to leave." Theo interrupts.

"Oh sorry were you hoping to be her next victim? As your ex-friend, I advise against it." I exit gracefully and leave them to deal with Pansy's emotional mess.

*******************************

After walking the whole length of the train both my arms are about to fall off and there are only two spots open on the whole train. With Granger or Pansy. I don't think I'm very welcome to sit with Theo, Blaise, and Pansy anymore. Not that I want to sit with them. I'm not dealing with Pansy a second longer than I have to.
