Here Pansy glared at Draco as he approached her in the Slytherin common room.
‘I come bearing gifts,’ he said as he held up a package that based on its shape was most likely filled with chocolate.’
‘If it didn’t come from Andover’s. . .’
Draco rolled his eyes and flipped the box up to show her the picture on top: a hill surrounded by mountains with a city on top. ‘Give me some credit,’ he said, then sat next to her on the lounge.
‘This doesn’t count as my Christmas present,’ she said as she accepted the package.
‘Of course not,’ he agreed, and then, after she was happily eating a chocolate, he continued, ‘You’ll be thanking me later anyway.’
‘How can you be so sure?’
‘Because blokes are much easier than birds.’
Pansy glared at him again, and he laughed at her.
‘Okay, alright-because we’re talking about Longbottom here. You are the prettiest girl in Slytherin, and he’d be a fool if he shot you down. He’s never even had a girlfriend, and . . . it’s Longbottom.’
‘Shut up,’ she said, but she couldn’t stop the smile.
