Dear Hermione,..

Pansy And The Closet

After passing Hermione in the corridor, I started zoning out, thoughts flooding my mind...
I couldn't. I can't . They can't expect a teenager to actually kill someone. No way. Ever since I joined Hogwarts, Dumbledore has been nothing but kind to me. I can't kill him. Especially not in cold blood.
"Hey Drakipoo!"
I just realized that I had reached the room of requirements and was inside, staring at the closet.
Pansy was already here. She'd come to help, just like everyday.
"Drakie!"
I cringed. Pansy really can be an irritating git.
" Don't call me that." I glared at her.
"Why? We are going to get married soon. Don't you think we should..get to know each other better?"
She pounced on my arm. I push her away.
"Stop it Pansy" I say lazily." Your irritating behavior doesn't affect me"
She grins and says,"Oh really? Then why do you call it 'irritating'?"
I narrow my eyes at her.
She continues," Oh Draco, we'd be a great couple!"
I launch myself at her, running to catch her. We both laugh our heads off.
" Oh Pansy! Stop!" I grab her hand and yank her back, away from the door.
She jumps back, surprised.
"Sorry. I-"
"It's ok. I see you didn't realize. Just be careful. We don't want anyone knowing that we hang out in the room of requirements after curfew."
She nodded and turned to look back at the closet.
"Draco, I don't want to do this. I don't want you to do this."
I look down.
"But I have to." She looks up at me.
"Or, or he'll kill them." I whisper.
She hugs me and says," Oh Draco. I wish I could do something. Something to help you. To save you. But I can't think of anything."
She takes in a deep breath. Then suddenly I see determination in her eyes.
" You know what, you are my brother. Well, not literally, but you get what I mean. Right?"
I raised my eyebrow at her.
"Yeah."
She smiles and says," So it's my job to help my brother. And I will."
I narrow my eyes at her.
"Just what are you going to do?"
"Oh, nothing."
She grinned.
"C'mon, you can tell me."
She just kept a finger on her lips and said," Nope" popping the 'p'
" I'm sealed."
I sighed. It's no use trying to get information from Pansy. She won't budge.
"Fine. Just,"
"Don't do anything stupid. Ok?"
She jumped happily, plotting that plan of hers, and said," Oki-dokie. Nothing stupid."
And with that , she headed to the door.
"Hey, Pans, what about the closet?"
"Oh. Yeah you do it. I'll help you tomorrow. K?"
And she disappeared outside the door, shutting it with a soft click.
