Re: The Three Broomsticks

Pansy and Draco had always had each other, but it had always been the same. Just friends, just him turning to her when he needed someone familiar to comfort and understand him. But this year it had all be ripped up and thrown away and started over. From that very second that Draco had shoved her against the wall outside the Great Hall, everything had changed. At the moment it seemed to be for the worse, as if his violence had run her off and separated them forever, but in the end it turned out to be the best thing to ever happen to them. He appreciated her now. He let her turn to him when she was hurting, not just the other way around. And after they'd worked past the rough points, he'd become gentler with her, both of them almost skittish at times, but that was for the best as well, as Pansy probably wouldn't have let him close again if he hadn't been so cautious. He still made her nervous from time to time when he was grumpy, but she got better at hiding it. All in all, it had only cemented what they had, and more thoroughly convinced Pansy of everything she'd suspected since before Christmas of fourth year.

They had both really matured in the past few months after their fights and, whether healthy or not, their relationship had deepened to the point of dependance on both their parts. He couldn't say if it was a negative thing or a positive but this relationship defined both of them more than they realized. After a few more moments he pulled back and after pressing another kiss to the side of her mouth he sat up a little and moved so he had his arm around her again. "I know exactly how you feel." As he spoke the waiter walked over and put the food down on the table.

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** February 21st 2011, 2:28 am

Negative or positive is hard to say. They've got each other if nothing else, but separated it wouldn't take them long to break down and start to fall apart. That just made their inevitable separation harder for Pansy to think about, though she did her best not to. She snuggled down into his side, into the little warm crook his arm across her shoulders created beside him. Resting her head against his shoulder, she smiled up at him softly. Blinking and looking away as the waiter appeared with Draco's food, she found herself almost a little embarrassed. What if he'd seen them back here with all their little whispering and kisses? She wasn't even sure why it bothered her, she was probably just feeling quite exposed from what she'd just told Draco a moment ago. Regardless, she was quiet now as she let Draco eat.

**Draco Malfoy** February 21st 2011, 2:43 am

Draco smiled back at her as the waiter put the food down. With his free hand he picked up a fork and picked up a piece of the fish. As always it was delicious and cooked to perfection. Picking up a chip he bit off half of it before looking down at her, "Kitten, you said you'd eat something." He pushed the plate towards her a little with the back of his hand before eating the rest of his chip. He liked having her here under his arm, where he could make sure she was okay, or at least be there if she wasn't.

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** February 21st 2011, 3:04 am

Pansy pouted at him a little when he pushed his plate toward her, but she obliged him and picked up a chip, nibbling off the end of it. She was glad he didn't feel the need to move his arm to eat more easily, she liked having it around her. He made her feel safe, like as long as he was holding her, maybe everything would be okay. "That counts as something, right?" She gave him a mildly innocent little smile, slipping the rest of the chip past her lips.

**Draco Malfoy** February 21st 2011, 3:17 am

Draco gave her a smile and picked up another chip for himself, "If you eat a few more of those then yes it counts." He picked up the fork again and ate some more of the fish before offering her the fork, "Do you want any?" He didn't want to take his arm from around her, not matter now much simpler food consumption would be. After this whole weekend he just wanted to comfort her and then move them past it, make it all some awful memory, push it back with the rest of them behind the wall he had built. Sometimes it cracked and they seeped back in but he did his best, and most of the time being with her only made it stronger.

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** February 21st 2011, 3:24 am

Pansy shook her head at the offered fork, picking up another chip instead. "No, you eat it." She finished the chip in her hand before slouching down a little more, quite comfy with his shoulder as a headrest now. She could have closed her eyes and easily gone to sleep, not even caring that it was in the Three Broomsticks so long as his arm was still around her. She tucked her hands between her knees, warming up her chilly fingers as Draco ate his dinner.

**Draco Malfoy** February 21st 2011, 4:56 am

Draco rested his head against hers for a second before picking it back up to eat properly. He noticed her putting her hands between her legs and smiled, "Chilly again? I feel like I should cast a permanent warming charm on you." He ate a few more chips before poking her gently in the shoulder, "Eat a little more, please, for me."

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** February 21st 2011, 5:35 am

Despite what Draco might hope, Pansy's hands were not between her legs doing anything interesting, simply resting between her knees to warm them up a little. And no, his hands cannot follow hers there, not yet anyway, so don't go getting him all excited over here in their little corner of the Three Broomsticks. All in good time, patience is a virtue, all that nonsense. "That would be lovely." About the warming charm, not the hands between her legs thing. She turned her head a little to kiss his jaw until she obliged him again and picked up another chip to munch on.

**Draco Malfoy** February 21st 2011, 3:32 pm

Yes but Draco likes the idea of hands between her legs better than the idea of them between her knees. Oh well. He smiled when she kissed his jaw and his smile widened a little when she picked up a chip. Taking the fork he started in properly on the fish, not talking for a while while he devoured at least half of it, making sure not to miss the little scraps that were flaking off.

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** February 22nd 2011, 1:16 am

Pansy's mind wandered, keeping quiet to let Draco eat while she enjoyed his arm around her. She blinked and tilted her head to look up at him a little, a curious look on her face as though she'd just realized something but wasn't one hundred percent sure she was right. "Draco, what is today? The twenty first?" Before he could answer, she assumed she was correct in her guess. "Happy anniversary." She turned back to her previous position again, a soft smile on her face as she resnuggled into his side.

**Draco Malfoy** February 22nd 2011, 3:18 pm

Draco thought for a moment when she asked him what date it was then when she said the 21st he smiled and squeezed his arm around her when she snuggled back into him. "Happy three months, Kitten." he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. Stopping eating for a minute he sat there and thought about it. Was it really only three months? Was it already three months? Part of him thought they had even together for years and another felt like it had only been a matter of weeks. He smiled absentmindedly and his fingers played along her shoulder as he picked up the fork and finished off the remaining fish. Picking up his drink he looked down at her, "Have a few more chips."

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** February 22nd 2011, 9:36 pm

Pansy stayed where she was, feeling a little more content now that she'd realized today it had been three months for them. Some rough spots, sure, but over all what were most likely the best three months of her life thus far, and the best three she would ever have. That is, unless these next three showed it up. They did still have until around May or June when her parents would be selecting a final suitor for her, and she would then be leaving, but it was still time that she would be making sure she could spend with Draco, and time she would be making sure they could both enjoy while they had it. Most people were leaving the Three Broomsticks by now, lunchtime passing on into afternoon, people continuing about their errands and the like. Her mind had wandered off a little when he spoke, bringing her back to the present. "No, you eat them. You'll enjoy them more. ~~Besides, I'm saving room for strawberries later.~~"

**Draco Malfoy** February 22nd 2011, 9:42 pm

Draco shrugged and ate up the rest of his chips in comfortable silence, his arm still tucked around her. When he finished he waved over the waiter and paid the bill before sitting up a little straighter as she pulled away, "Okay is there anything else you want to do in Hogsmeade?" He scooted out of the little booth and stood up, offering her his hand.

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** February 23rd 2011, 12:33 am

Pansy turned a little in the seat to look at him once he'd finished. With a shrug, she attempted another smile at him, though this one was much more convincing than the previous ones. Getting away from home and back at school and just hanging out had already done wonders for her sour mood. "I'll go wherever you go." She took his hand and stood up, following him toward the door and out onto the street.

**Draco Malfoy** February 23rd 2011, 1:28 am

Draco smiled and lead them back to the castle, his hand still holding hers. He was glad to see her in a better mood already and hoped that maybe he could do a little more to improve it further. As they entered the castle he changed their direction with a smirk and walked her to the kitchens. As they reached the pear he tickled it and let her inside, "We didn't have dessert and I want some." ~~And Draco patted her ass as she walked past.~~

**Draco Malfoy** February 23rd 2011, 1:30 am

p.s. you can take us to the kitchens if there's a free one

**Krasimir Svetkova** March 14th 2011, 3:09 am

"Hm, I am kind of hungry." Kras turns and tries to remember which direction the Three Broomsticks was in. "Ah, that vay." He turns back and, smiling brightly at Reed, takes the younger boy's hand again and takes off to the left.

Reaching the place, he paused outside the door. "You'll like this place. There's butterbeer too, vhich is really yummy." he opens the door for Reed and follows in behind him, shutting the door. "Vhere vould you like to sit?"

[I have to go, sadly. Sad

I'm rather tired and I have to be up early for work tomorrow. *kicks work* Love you!!!!! <3]

**Reed Dawson** March 14th 2011, 3:17 am

[OKAY!! I LOVE YOU!!! <3333 NIGHT!!]

Reed smiles happily and continues to stare at all the buildings in the little village. He chanced a few glances at Kras, blushing every time their eyes met. He walked into the little restaurant and looked around. "Um, over here." He grabbed hold of Kras' hand and led him to the back of the pub, at a table that was a little away from where everyone else was sitting. He sat down and looked up smiling at Kras. "This okay? Wait, do those butterbeers have any alcohol in them? Because I can't drink alcohol.."

**Krasimir Svetkova** March 14th 2011, 12:26 pm

"This is fine." Kras smiled brightly. Even better because back here they wouldn't be disturbed as much. "And don't vorry they have a non-alcoholic von. I don't really like alcohol myself so I usually get it that vay." A lady comes over and Kras orders two of the drinks for them. He figured they'd be there for a while so they could order food in a bit when the drinks came. "Sometimes this place is really really busy. You can barely move about." he chuckled. "And then there's other times vhere it hardly seems busy at all, but it's still really good. I've never been down the street to the Hog's head pub, but that's mostly because it seems a bit shady..sort of." he shrugged.

**Reed Dawson** March 14th 2011, 7:44 pm

Reed smiles at the lady after Kras orders there drinks. Then he tries to look around the pub, but keeps getting distracted by the boy sitting in front of him. "Shady huh? I think I'll be avoiding that place then. And I'm glad it's not that busy. I don't do very well with crowded areas. Ya know, more people to bump into and more things to trip over." He giggled nervously. For some reason, it was at this point that Reed started viewing this as a date, which only made him blush and become more nervous.

**Krasimir Svetkova** March 15th 2011, 1:25 am

Kras would normally look around a lot, always one to enjoy people watching and maybe spotting someone new he could become friends with, but right now it's hard for him to focus on anyone besides Reed. He barely even looks away when the lady comes back with their drinks, only glancing up to smile brightly and say thanks. Then his gaze was drawn back to the boy in front of him and he was completely oblivious to the somewhat disappointed glance from the waitress who had tried to give him a flirty smile back. Too bad for her. After she was gone, Kras continued their conversation. "Cities must be a rather difficult place for you to visit. Vot vith all the people and crowded spaces. Are you alright? You seem rather nervous. It's alright, you know. No von's going to bite around here...er," he glanced briefly around the room and spotted some paler looking guys in the shady areas, "vell, they look like vampires so they might bite, but I von't." He smiled brightly.

**Reed Dawson** March 15th 2011, 2:37 am

Reed also smiled brightly when the waitress deposited their drinks. He giggled a little when she looked disappointed, guessing it was because she was trying to catch Kras' eye. He couldn't deny that he felt a little smug about the fact that Kras seemed to have have eyes only for Reed. "Well, I love cities actually. I just get lost easily. So I always have to have someone with me." He giggled a little when Kras mentioned Reed looked nervous. "Oh me? I'm not nervous. Just, um, excited. Yeah that's it!" He gave the pale people a glance before turning back to Kras with wide eyes. Reed leaned forward on the table and whispered. "They won't do anything bad will they?"

**Krasimir Svetkova** March 15th 2011, 2:53 am

Kras did actually look around, a bit confused, when Reed randomly giggled at something - Kras had no idea Reed was giggling at the waitress for being disappointed at failing to catch his eye. "I don't suppose they make maps of cities, do they?" he asked, curious. He lived in a smaller town now in Bulgaria now, outside of Sofia. From what he could remember, he had never really seen any maps of that big city. He grinned slightly when Reed leaned forward and whispered in a rather concerned voice. Leaning forward on the table as well, Kras whispered softly back, giving the younger boy a reassuring wink. "Nah, and even if they did try something, I'm here so you'll be safe. I'll protect you." he smiled softly, trying to ignore the fluttery feeling in his stomach from being so close to the other boy, and brushed some of the curls away from Reed's eyes.

**Reed Dawson** March 15th 2011, 3:07 am

Reed blushed, but didn't pull back at all. "Umm, well yeah they have maps, but they get confusing most of the times. Especially since they are all set up different." Of course he blushed when Kras said he'd protect him. "Well, I don't want you getting hurt either. That would make me sad." He pouted a little, then smiled.

[Sorry this fails *is watching a livestream*]
