You and me

Part 9 - The slumber party

I remained totally off for the first two weeks of my holidays. Draco sent me a few letters to which I didnt reply. And he stopped writing. He came along with Narcissa once, and I pretended to be ill and alseep. Narcissa wrote to me a few times to enquire about my health. The poor thing.
I cried myself to sleep for so many nights, that I lost count.
I was hopelessly in love with Draco Malfoy. And it made me so jealous and angry that he actually allowed Astoria to kiss him.
"Rotten bitch" I cursed thinking about her.
I wrote to Hermione and Ginny once in a while. They were worried about me and this new depression I was in.
Mum asked me why I didnt meet or write to Draco, and got grunts and growls for replies.
"Mia, just sort out your issues with Draco" Mum said. "Its not very nice to hold grudges ! And Narcissa is also starting to notice it !"
"I dont care what anyone thinks, Mum !" I said. "Hes the only one who can actually do anything about it !"
Mum gave me a confused look before leaving my room.

I got a letter from Pansy Parkinson towards the final week of our holidays, saying that shes having a slumber party at her home and that she wanted me to go. Mum was really glad about this.
"Its great that you're good with Draco's friends, Mia !" she said.
"Dont start now, Mum, Please !" I said, and she gave me one of her looks.
I wrote to Pansy that I will go.

Dad took me to Pansy's house on the day of her party.
"Mia , meet Millicent and Tracey" said Pansy, introducing me to her friends once we were inside.
"And girls, this is Mia. "
They were quite nice to me to be honest. I was really expecting some twist, but nothing came about.
"My parents are out visiting my grandparents" said Pansy with an evil grin. "So we have this house all to ourselves tonight !"
"And why do I feel that theres more to your smile ?" Millicent asked suspiciously
"Oh nothing! " said Pansy . "Really!"
None of us trusted her on that.
We were all sitting around doing random things and talking about our miserable lives, when we heard a knock on the door.
Pancy sprang up from her bed, and ran downstairs.
"What is she upto ?" I asked, feeling frightened.
"I have no clue" said Millicent, and we followed her down to the living room.
Pansy opened the front door, and in came a familiar face.
"Blaise !!" She squealed, launching hereslf into his arms.
And it was not just Blaise. Draco stepped in behind Blaise, and his eyes fell straight on me.
There was complete silence in the room as we stared at eachother.
"Surprise !" said Pansy, and then fell silent. She turned to Draco with a self satisfied smile and said " How do you like your surprise Draco ?"
I saw Blaise swallowing cautiously, his eyes darting between me and Draco.
Draco's normally neatly kept hair was all out of place. And it looked kinda cute on him. ANYTHING looks cute on him. He wore a black shirt, and a pair of jeans, looking more casual than I have ever seen him. The black shirt made his skin look paler.
I saw Blaise whispering to Pansy, and she looked at me with wide eyes.
"I swear I thought this was a good thing" she said, raising her hands to us.
Draco took a step towards me.
There was an excrutiating silence in the room, and my ears seemed to ache because of it.
"Mia" I loved the way he said my name. But I didnt let that affect me.
"Pansy, Im tired. I need to sleep" I said to Pansy, trying to sound stern.
"Sure Mia" said Pansy, and I began climbing the stairs to the room she had shown me before.
I saw Draco's face. He looked angry.
And the next thing I knew, he was coming after me. I ran. He ran behind me.
We wrestled with the door, but of course Draco won - he was far more stronger than I was.
He stepped in and locked the door behind us.
