Valentine's Day

[Draco Malfoy]

Puddifoot, who had retreated after dusting them both off, went over to Griffin and Neko's table to see if they were alright and needed refilling of their drinks.
Draco looked at Pansy, amusement still faintly alive in his eyes, "But of course Pansy, I am a Malfoy, and we get what we want." Draco finished his current serving of treats and sipped at his slowly emptying cup. He didn't miss Pansy gently flexing her hand. Slowly, he moved his own hand to touch her wrist again, "Is it alright?"

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy swallowed. That tingling in her arm was there again now that Draco was touching her. She nodded. "It's fine. The potion she gave me earlier is wearing off, that's all. It's a little stiff." She smiled up at him. He really did have the nicest eyes.

[Griffin Black]

Puddifoot came by Griffin and Neko's table to see if they needed anything. Griffin nodded his head and said they were fine. As she walked away he spied a Ravenclaw staring at Draco. He sighed. It seemed that everyone in this school was obsessed with that Malfoy. He did admit that even he was interested in the boy but it did upset him to know that out of the only two Slytherin boys Griffin knew, he was the one that was eclipsed. At least Neko seemed fairly more interested in him than in Draco. Maybe, he thought, I should do something to eclipse Draco. He doubted he could do this though and that it would even be worth it. Showing up a Mafloy didn't seem like the best idea in the world.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco kept his hand on her wrist as he took another sip with his free hand, "Perhaps when we return, you should visit Pomfrey for another pain relieving potion. If not, you could ask Professor Snape." Draco felt as if Pansy was hiding how much it really hurt. 'A little stiff' at times meant a lot more when speaking with a Slytherin.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy nodded again. "All right. I'll see how I feel once we're back. Did you see I wore your earrings? I love them, thank you again."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco smiled and stood slightly, leaning over to table to gently slide a forefinger down the length of one of the earrings, "I did see you wore them.. I'm very glad you enjoy them, Pans." Draco sat back down, taking another cake and placing it on his doily, he hand retreated from her wrist and rested on the box of sweets Pansy had gotten him, "I want to let you know that I more than appreciate your gesture as well, Pans. I'll eat the sweets, but I'll treasure the taste knowing it was a gift."

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy was a little dazed at his proximity but didn't want to show it. Unfortunately when it came time for her to speak she stumbled. "I-I... I'm glad. They aren't much." She blinked. "I'm just glad we had this chance to spend time together." She took another sip of tea and pushed her plate away.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco noted her stutter but did nothing to show he did, he only smiled, "Pansy. I am a boy who has everything they could possibly want. Something that isn't much means to me a deal more than something that anyone would die for." Draco finished his last dessert and also pushed the the doily plate away, utilizing his napkin, "This has been very pleasurable. I'm glad I came." Draco looked to Pansy and held her hand across the table after she had finished sipping her tea, "We leave at your leisure."

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy bit her lip deciding what that should do. "Would you care to go back to the common room?"

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco squeezed her hand, "Only if you'd like to."

[Pansy Parkinson]

Squeezing his hand in return her lips twitched barely noticeable (she hoped) in pain. "Let's go before another angel attacks you," she laughed, placing her napkin on the table and pulling him up with her.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco chuckled and followed Pansy's motions, gently letting go of her hand as they reached the door to offer his arm to her like always. He held the door open for their departure.

Madam Puddifoot called out behind them to return sometime, and she hoped they had enjoyed their stay.

[Neko Wormwood]

"So... what was it you were going to tell me?" Neko asked Griffin, curious to find out what he was hiding.

[Griffin Black]

Griffin looked down at his cup then back to Neko. "Well you know how Sirius Black is an animagus? Well, let's just say that if he isn't my father, one of my parents would still have been an animgus," he said quietly. He had never told anyone this before.

[Neko Wormwood]

Neko tilted her head. "Does that mean you're an animagus?" She asked, brushing confetti off of her sleeve.
