Chapter 16 - Playing With Emotions

Harry walked towards the Great Hall with a wide smile on his face - lighting up his emerald eyes. He practically skipped towards his friends, who were already seated at the Gryffindor table. Hermione raised an eyebrow at him as he settled himself down across from her. 

"Where have you been?" she asked, raising her eyebrows at him. Harry smiled and took a sip of his pumpkin juice. 

"Library," he answered quickly. 

"At this time?" she questioned, glancing at Ginny, who was watching Harry intently. 

"Revising," he replied, beginning to feel slightly fed up with all the questioning he was getting. 

"But ..."

"Just leave it, Hermione," he said, helping himself to a slice of toast. 

Just as he took a bite, he noticed Draco emerge through the huge oak doors. He almost spat out his pumkin juice as he realised that Malfoy was staring straight at him with a smirk. Quickly, Harry looked away before Hermione could catch on to their shared encounter. 

As breakfast went on, Harry found his eyes diverting towards the handsome Slytherin, who was sat inbetween Pansy and Blaise. He felt a twinge of jealousy flash through him as Pansy giggled at something Malfoy said. She placed her hand on his arm and Harry almost spat out his pumpkin juice as Malfoy kissed the side of her head. 

Anger swilled inside Harry as he glared coldly at Malfoy. The blond boy, as if feeling the cold-hard stare, swivled his head to meet Harry's gaze. Instantly he looked away, taking Pansy by the hand and leading her from the Great Hall. 

"I'll be right back," Harry choked out as he got up and sprinted after the retreating figures of the two Slytherins.

"Harry!" Hermione called as he disappeared. She shook her head and turned to Ron and Ginny, who both wore the same confused expressions on their faces. 

"He's acting weirdly," Ginny mumbled, looking down at her hands. "Do you think he's having doubts about our child?" 

"I don't know," Hermione mumbled. She was feeling confused and she didn't like the feeling - usually she understood things instantly and it irritated her that she didn't know what was going on.

Draco pulled Pansy along the corridor, until they came to a turning. He pushed her against the wall and stared at her with his grey eyes - pleading. She looked up at him with a confused expression on her face and smiled at their close proximity. 

"Are you going to kiss me?" she asked, reaching a hand out to stroke his face. 

He looked confused for a moment, before he quickly shook his head. "What? No. I need your help," he whispered. 

"Oh," Pansy mumbled, trying not to sound too disappointed. "What's wrong?"

"PotterandIkissedthismorning," he said quickly. 

"What? Speak slower," Pansy said. 

"I kissed Potter," he mumbled. 

"WHAT?!" she screeched. 

"Shsh!" he hissed, pressing a hand over her mouth that had dropped open in shock. "I don't know what came over me, but I need your help."

"Why?" 

"I just do," he mumbled. 

"What could you possibly need from me?" she hissed, her eyes narrowing.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, staring intently and urgently at her. 

"Wait ... what?"

"I need you - Pansy - to be my girlfriend," he repeated. 

"Yeah, I got that, but why?" she asked, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Does there have to be a reason?" he snapped, growing irritated. 

"No, I suppose not," she replied. 

"So, will you be my girlfriend?" 

*   *   *

"So, will you be my girlfirend?" Malfoy asked just as Harry got close enough to hear their conversation. 

"Yes," Pansy replied. 

Harry's hands curled into fists and he had to resist the urge to go and slap Malfoy. How dare he? The snake! Hurt flashed through Harry as he backed slowly away before either of them would see him. He could still hear them muttering as he headed back to the Great Hall. 

Idiot, he thought to himself.

"You can't tell Blaise," Malfoy said in a low voice. "No one can know."
