Another Summer Past [Draco]

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy headed through Diagon Alley. Rather bored, but in need of some unnecassary items, mostly robes and such, but she didn't need them, she just wanted them. Pansy crossed her arms, and headed through the crowd of people. It hadn't been like that on other days when she was here. She looked in at the stores, filled with bustling people, mostly families. She huffed and stuck her nose up. She hadn't been a member of any family, she had no family, she didn't want to be babied. Like most Death Eater children, whose parents were still loyal to the Dark Lord, had been taken away by Ministry officials, her parents were some of them. Since then, her anger and loathing towards Potter had deepened, and since then, she had been on her own. Using what money she actually had on finer items, planning on leaving her parents nothing. They never loved her to begin with, she only went to Hogwarts, Hogsmead, and Diagon Alley to get away from her parents' house, and the memories she tried to forget. Making her head level again, she looked about the crowd, scanning, just to see one familar Slytherin, or even better, Potter. If she saw him, she'd hex him. All the more fun for her. She headed out of the stream of people and settled on standing near a building. Waiting, and watching. Thinking about her summer.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco found himself walking alone down Diagon Alley. He wasn't in need of anything, his mother bought everything he needed. He ran his fingers through his pale hair as he studied all those that passed him. He loved people studying, he learned alot because of that. He loved to do it at Hogwarts also, he learned enough about his enemies to make them fall but Draco loved to see them squirm. He walked and stopped infront of the bookstore. He saw families together and he sneered some. Coming from a family that served the Dark Lord, he never felt that kind of love. But Draco never needed it, he was more than happy being superior. Love was something that could weaken you, to hinder you. He smirked some and kept walking Diagon Alley to do more people watching.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy had seen Draco stop, nearly right across from her. She smirked as she decided to head over to him. As she pushed her way through the crowd, Draco's face became clearer. "Hello, Draco." Pansy said, coming to a stop near him, careful not to get too close. There was no telling if Draco was pissed and would end up coming at her. She crossed her arms, and got out of range of the swarming people.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco turned once he heard his name and saw Pansy. He smirked a little bit. Pansy was a fellow Slytherin and Death eater child. "Hello there Pansy." He told her. He didn't mind Pansy around, she enjoyed the same things he did. Pansy was one of the few that Draco was actually semi-nice to. He wasn't nice to alot but he was nicer to his fellow slytherins and to her.

[Pansy Parkinson]

"I promise I won't bite. That is, if you stay to far away from me, I might hex you." She said with a smirk. "Or, I can just leave you alone, to wander around." Pansy uncrossed her arms. "Your choice."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco smirked and shook his head. "Well since I have no choice. Where would you like to go?" He was in a good mood and he also didn't want to be by himself, he wanted to talk to someone and Pansy was one of his favorite people to talk to.

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Now who said you didn't have a choice?" Pansy asked. "But, I don't really care, where we go. As long as I'm out of my house and with some one I actually know, I don't care." Pansy started to walk near him. She crossed her arms, as she came up beside him. "So, I'm telling you, that it is your decision. So, where are we going?"

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco smiled some at her, an actual smile. Pansy was one of the few people that actually understood him. He shrugged his shoulders, "How about the the ice cream place? I want something sweet. I was heading there myself. You can join me if you like." He left the invite open, he didn't want her to think that he even wanted her there. Although he did....

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Well, um, okay." Pansy said, not knowing whether or not to accept the invatation or not. She uncrossed her arms and started playing with her hands. She really wanted to offer her hand, for him to take it, mostly because she didn't want to get lost in the swarm of people, but something else was there, making her want to jut her hand out. Resistance failed. She flung her hand out and offered him to take it. "It doesn't matter to me if you take my hand or not."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco looked at her for a moment and shook his head. He walked ahead not waiting for her to come along. He wasn't used to that, he had never had anyone want to hold his hand. To care enough to be near him, to touch him. While walking Draco reached down and took her hand in his, he didn't let it show on his face at all but Draco was pleased.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy grinned. She started walking feeling the distance between them, due to their hand-holding, shrink. Mostly because she walked faster to get closer to him. "Are you okay?" She asked. "You don't seem like yourself."

{Blah! Icky post. I have no idea right now on what to post.}

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco nodded his head and let go of her hand. "I am fine." He told her and stepped into the ice cream place, he was acting out of character and Draco didn't understand that. He sat down at a table and waited for her to sit down. He did like Pansy but he really didn't know how to act around her. It made him crazy sometimes but he kept her around, she was one of the few that understands him.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy followed Draco into the shop and sat across from him. "Alright if you say so." She said. She crossed her hands and leaned back in her seat. "Anything new this summer?"

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco shook his head as he was trying to get awaiter's attention. "What about you?"

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Oh, just the usual, fending for myself, making daily trips to Diagon Alley and around London. Keeping away from my house for the most part." Pansy replied. "Been doing the same thing for two years now."
