[Draco Malfoy]

"I'm keeping my head down... I haven't really spoken to Father since my last harsh run in with the Carrows..." the blond sighed and ruffled his hair in a slightly un-malfoy like manner. "f**k**g embarrassing... anyway I haven't really faced him since then."

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Those two are still on your case? I would have thought at least the she-Carrow might give you a break. After all, she seems busy with her Ravenclaw slave and Theodore," Pansy shook her head.

[Draco Malfoy]

"Luckily the Dark Lord called his Minion's to flock so I've had a bit of time to regain my wits, but... yeah... I don't know if they enjoy just riding me- or enjoy getting the best of my Father's son." Draco sighed and leaned back against the cushions once more.

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Probably both, I'm sorry to say it," the Slytherin girl muttered, gazing at the blonde.
"Your father... most likely like mine, is not the protective kind, huh?"

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco hesitated for a moment before looking at her "He... he, actually fought them..."

The boy admitted it slowly as if he himself was still unsure about what he'd seen. "When he came in on them... well, up to their usual... he stepped in on my behalf and fought both Carrows... I don't know that you could call it a win- but damn if he didn't hold his own." Draco smiled a soft, bittersweet smile "I now remember why I use to idolize the man so much..."

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Oh... wow! Good for him, I'm glad he did that," she said and leaned to squeeze Draco's hand. In fact she was happy the blonde git didn't break his son's heart... again.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco offered a wry smile "Me too... but i'm also mortified, I mean now he wants to *talk* about it..." he made a bit of a face "What the hell am I supposed to say?"

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Thank you," she shrugged. "I don't see what else is there to say, after all he did his duty as a father," she added.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco shrugged "He just wants to know about the Carrows and what they've been doing..."

He looked over at his mate before grabbing her arm and tugging her over "How about a hug?"

[Pansy Parkinson]

She smiled widely and moved over to get in his arms, hugging Draco fondly and placing her head on his chest.
"I think you should tell him the truth," she said.

[Draco Malfoy]

"Nah...not more than I have to, Father's in enough hot water without me telling him stuff that'll add to the fire..." he gave her a light squeeze and rested his chin against the top of his head... this was nice. And it made sense, much more than she did...

"Pans...have you..." he sighed and shook his head. "Nevermind."

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Have I what, Draco?" she murmured with her eyes closed, enjoying the moment. It felt so nice and warm, even if it was nothing romantic in the gesture.

[Draco Malfoy]

"Relationships," the blond somewhat blurted before catching himself. "I mean... associations... that... aren't ne- pe-" he sighed and ran a free hand through his hair. "I was just wondering if you have ... had the instance of ...I dunno, getting involved with someone you know... well, you know no good can come of being involved with?"

He'd chosen his words carefully, but still worried she'd suss things out. Lucily Pansy wasn't always the brightest, he loved her to death though and hoped it would come into his favor this time.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy sighed deeply. She didn't know who Draco was talking about considering she didn't spend much time with him lately but she figured he was talking about someone who was not a pure blood and/or from one of the other houses.
"No I haven't," she admitted. "Not in a relationship. It's not the same as fooling around with some guy for a bit," she added. "Relationships, in my opinion, involve deep feelings and are quite dangerous, this term in particular."

[Draco Malfoy]

"Right..." Draco muttered thoughtfully. Then again he and Ginny weren't in a relationship... they snogged, and fooled around but that was it so...

He looked down at her "So you're not in a relationship with anyone?"

He'd heard some murmurings of her and Nott... then again he'd heard murmurings about her and a lot of guys... and Nott and a lot of girls.

[Pansy Parkinson]

She gazed up at the blonde with an amused smile.
"Not in a relationship. But since we decided, at the beginning of the term, that I will tell you of my... escapades, I did fool around with Theodore. Once," she said.
"How about you? Mili told me you have a girlfriend," she said teasingly.
She had thought about what Milicent had told her a lot and decided that Draco would have told her personnaly if he had indeed been dating someone.

[Draco Malfoy]

He looked at her abruptly "Who?"

[Pansy Parkinson]

"She didn't say, she only asked me if you told me about it," Pansy shrugged though she was now very curious. Draco didn't usually react like that.

[Draco Malfoy]

"Well, she's lying or playing with your head," Draco said remembering his composure, besides Weasely can hardly be called his girlfriend... hell she can't even be called his friend.

[Pansy Parkinson]

"In that case, be warned," she giggled. "She is determined to ask you all about it".
Pansy shifted a bit to cuddle more against Draco and sighed in content.

[Draco Malfoy]

"Yes well I'm determined to shut her up- I think I'll win," Draco remarked stifling a yawn and looking down at her. "So... Nott, yeah?"

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy chuckled. "My bet is on you," she gazed up at Draco.
"Yeah... don't know how that happened, we've been more or less ignoring each other for the past six years," she said.

[Draco Malfoy]

"And now? ... What? Secret rendezvous in the greenhouses?" Draco drawled in a teasing tone.

[Pansy Parkinson]

The Slytherin laughed.
"We're not there yet. We just met in the RoR, started talking about Unforgivables... I don't think he is the romantic type," she winked.

[Draco Malfoy]

He's more like the sick twisted death eater will probably get blown up in the war type... but Draco kept that thought to homself.

"Hmm.... so does that mean we can still snog?" he teased wagging his brows.

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Of course we can," Pansy smiled brightly. "Whenever you feel like it," she added and kissed his cheek.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco laughed and looked over at her, as if considering it "Hmm... not originally what I used this place for... but a good option..."

[Pansy Parkinson]

"You!!!" she chuckled and slapped his arm playfully. "Here, where we could be found?" she asked in amusement, clearly not opposed to the idea.

[Draco Malfoy]

"Found? By whom? After all, did you even know about this place until I showed you?" Draco returned arching a perfect blond brow.

[Pansy Parkinson]

"No, but Madame Pince surely knows of it," she returned.
