Draco POV:

Pansy and I are practically inseparable. We always have been since ever we were infants. Whenever my family would attend banquets at the other pureblood estates I would also seek Pansy out first. The both of us were joined at the hip and people often made comments that we looked like a lovely young couple. These sorts of comments always made me feel weird and it certainly did not help that I was 7 years of age when they started happening.

Naturally many people at Hogwarts also assumed that we were dating, which I think is completely preposterous. We act just like siblings. Can't a girl and a boy be friends without it being sexual? This notion annoyed me.

"Draco darling," Pansy called shattering my daydream into thousands of now-forgotten thoughts, just out of my grasp. My attention was now turned to focus on her voice and what she was saying. 

Today her dark brown hair fell effortlessly onto her shoulders the slight bounce at the end of it. I had helped her with it, of course, giving her recommendations on shampoo brands and helping her style it. Her brown cinnamon flecked eyes pierced into me with her naturally intimidating gaze. 

"Yes, Pansy dear? What is it?" I responded naturally, looking away from Pansy to stare down at the Daily Prophet that had just landed in front of me. I unfurled the newspaper without the slightest crinkle and turned to the first page with a sort of grace. 

 "Well, I was just curious as to whether have time to help me with my charms later," She confessed, giving me a friendly touch on my shoulder almost to remind me to answer. Sometimes, I seem to forget to answer or tend to answer in my head and then forget that I never actually said it out loud. 

Tearing my gaze away from the horrible news in the Prophet I focused my attention on Pansy, who was currently (not so gracefully) eating a scone with jam. "Of course whatever you need. Is there something particular in which you struggle?" 

I waited for her to respond as she put held a finger up, signalizing that she only needed a moment. When she was done chewing she responded "Generally, it's just the wand movements I struggle with. I suppose you know all about that don't you Draco." She wiggled her eyebrows at me and I stared in utter horror.  

Blaise not at all involved in our conversation burst out laughing followed by Pansy. My face grew hot and I supposed that it was bright red from the heat I was feeling. "I officially hate every single one of you," I announced pointing to all of them individually. 

"Nah you love us," Pansy dismissed and gave a very relaxed gesture. It was very hard to argue with that logic... but I'm Draco Malfoy and I will find a way. 

So then I settle for the lame "In your dreams," with an additional eye roll added into the mix for a little bit more flare. 

"Alright, we'll finish up your breakfast and we can get going to our first class." Pansy patted my leg as she started packing up some of the random stuff she had brought with her. I specifically told her she wouldn't need some muggle dice, a comb, and an assortment of bobby pins but she brought them anyway. 

"There's no need, I'm already finished," I stated as I pushed my plate away from me to make a point. 

"Hey, what about me?" Blaise protested from where he had been ignored this entire meal. Unintentionally of course. 

Pansy looked him up and down, not seeming to find any fault or anything out of place she asked, "What about you?" 

Blaise's face contorted, looking astonished, offended, and amused. "You were just going to leave me here?"

Pansy and I looked at each other. "Yeah, seems like it." Blaise gave a huff and snarfed down the rest of his food in a very un-Zabini like way. 

Pansy gave him a look of utter disgust, not knowing she looked very similar just a few short minutes ago. "Come on then, you big oaf." She said as she wacked him on top of the head with the newspaper she had collected. 

With all of our Slytherin poise, the three of us sauntered out of the great hall. 

-----------------------

I noticed Potter was following us before we had even made it down the corridor. Pansy was teasing Blaise about a crush, it had to be. There is no other reason why Blaise Zabini would be blushing so profusely. 

My attention however has captivated by the Gryffindor who very indiscreetly walked along the wall pressed against it. 

"-aco why aren't you teasing Blaise?" Pansy asked concerned when my hearing zoned in again. I have often been told by my friends and family that I have a very selective hearing. Meaning that I hear what I want and ignore what I want. 

"Yes, ca-can you just excuse me for one moment. I will meet up with you in Herbology." My friend nodded and continued walking in the direction of Herbology. While I waited for Potter to come closer. 

"Alright well take this," Pansy handed me the muggle dice, which I had always thought was weird. Why weren't there an even amount of circles on each side? It just made no sense! Nevertheless, I took the dice from Pansy not know why I would need them. 

"You can come out now, Potter." The Gryffindor boy slithered out of the shadows with a sneer of his face. I approached him dangerously with my wand outstretched in his direction. I wasn't actually going to hurt him. I would never.

But he didn't know that. 

"Why are you following me?" I barked and I watched as I saw the walls build up and defenses mask him. 

"What are you going on about Malfoy?" He spat my last name, pure resentment in his eyes the burning passion that flamed through his eyes made my heart crumble. 

"Are you really going to deny how you were following me and my friends all the way from the great hall?" I said exasperatedly, not being careful I raised my arms up in protest. When I did this, both of the sleeves on my arms slid down. 

Which made three small words clearly visible to Potter. 

I heard I strangled gasp coming from the other boy and that's when I realized my mistake but all too late. 

My worst enemy found out I was his soulmate. What am I going to do now?

A/N

Ahhhhh it's finally the reveal time! This made me so happy writing. What's going to happen next? 

Tell me if there's anything you want me to include in this story. I think I have a love interest for Blaise now but I am still finding one for Pansy. 

Are you guys as excited as me for the upcoming chapters?
