--------------------------
She set his tea down right in front of him and proceeded to sit directly in front of him, staring at him unsmilingly.
“Is there anything you wish to tell me, Potter?”
If he was panicking, he didn’t show it.
“No. Why would you ask so?” His reply was smooth and sounded right. Had she been the ignorant woman she was yesterday, she wouldn’t have known that he was lying. How dare he lie to her?
She told herself that she was angry that he lied to her. But that wasn’t the case. The thing was that she was angry that he had managed to fool her for so long, that she hadn’t been able to read his moves.
She had always been good at it. Reading his moves, that was. She had always been able to tell what he was thinking, what he wanted to do.
“Are you sure?” she asked again, just for good measures, just to see if he would crack.
“What could I possibly want to tell you?”
“I was out with the ladies this morning,” she paused to sip at her tea, “and they have been telling me some things that they’ve heard from other women of our circle.”
“Oh?” He mimicked her actions by sipping his tea.
“They’ve heard some rumours about us,” she continued slowly.
“Was it something hurtful?” he asked, his features softening into a concerned look. “Love, rumours are but rumours. Just leave them be.”
She hated it when he called her ‘love’. It always distracted her. She sipped at her tea again to stall for time, willing herself to concentrate. “It’s not something hateful. It’s quite…interesting, so to say. Astoria, in particular, is very adamant that the rumours are true. She supposedly heard it from Draco who heard it from you.”
“Oh?” He arched an eyebrow. “I can’t imagine any rumours about us that would spark your interest so.”
“Aren’t you even going to ask what it is?” She frowned.
“No.” He smiled.
“Don’t you want to know?”
“No.” He set his teacup down on the table. “If you wanted to tell me, you would have already said so by now. You are baiting me, love.”
She fumed.
When had she gotten that easy to read? How was it that their roles were reversing?
She let out a dejected sigh. “Everyone out there is saying that you’ve been out shopping for wedding rings. And that you are going to propose. Apparently, it’s been going on for ages! And I don't know what they're talking about because obviously, you haven’t proposed, and looking at things my way, you’re not going to propose. I am very confused, Potter, and you had better have an explanation for me right now.”
“I’m not very sure what to tell you, love…”
She pursed her lips and kept silent.
“I was waiting for the right moment, if you must know,” he admitted, watching as her eyes lit up in surprise and joy, “That one spontaneous moment that you would remember forever. I arranged a candlelight dinner for us tonight, actually, but I’m guessing that this is memorable enough.”
She kept her facial expressions to the minimum, even when he knelt to the ground in front of her, holding out a ring. Inside, though, her heart was beating so fast that she was sure that if it got any faster, she would surely die.
He cleared his throat before he began. “I had a nice speech planned out for tonight, actually, but I don’t really think that you would want that right now. Our love is stronger than words could possibly express and you know that I’m not very good with words. But I’m willing to love you for a lifetime, to use my actions to show you how much I love you, how much I need you.”
She felt her eyes dampen and realized that she was close to crying. “Potter, you should just ask me to marry you already.”
Harry laughed. “Pansy Parkinson, will you do me the great honour of marrying me and being my wife?”
She nodded, and much to her chagrin, her tears fell. Harry slipped the ring on her finger.
“Are you actually crying, love? For me?”
She hit him on the arm playfully. “You couldn’t have done with a non-sentimental proposal, couldn’t you?”
“I thought all women liked mushy proposals that made them weep?”
She mock glared. “Do I look like ‘all women’ to you?”
He pulled her close towards him. “No. You are one in a million. And you are mine.”
He laughed as she began (much to her immense horror) to tear up again.

Date: 2009-04-26 10:53 pm (UTC)You've made me love Harry/Pansy more than ever now. I've been loving them more and more, but now, I'm a hardcore shipper. :D They're so cute. Screw Ginny. XD
no subject
Date: 2009-04-27 12:20 pm (UTC)I've never thought that writing Harry/Pansy would be so fun and now it's practically one of my favourite drabbles I've ever written. =D
Screw Ginny.
And Cho. *blink blink* I can't see how Harry could have been so blind. *sighs*
no subject
Date: 2009-04-28 04:48 am (UTC)Seriously, it's a great ship. They're both in the same boat. Only children, parents are dead or MIA, and they have super cool friends (ie Draco and Hermione). XD
how could I forget that teary slag? XD Hormones blinded Harry for a long time.
Ginny should just die...and leave Harry to be with Pansy.no subject
Date: 2009-04-28 12:56 pm (UTC)I know! And if Hermione can date a Slytherin, why can't Harry? =D (Which really sparks my muse... I've got this idea that Draco dumps Pansy for Hermione and she thinks to date a Gryff, i.e. Harry, to get back at Draco and she falls for him like a trainwreck. What say you?)
I have no idea what's so good about Cho. I mean, Cedric liked her, and then Harry liked her. *shrugs* She doesn't even sound appealing.
SO SECONDED. I have never been able to stand Ginny.Which is funny since I love all the Weasley men (even Ron when he's not paired up with Hermione). XDno subject
Date: 2009-04-28 11:34 pm (UTC)That sounds like a great plot. With a touch of sarcasm and of course, sexual tension, I think it'll be awesome. :DDD
...she's Asian. It's exotic. Maybe that's why all the guys dig her. LOL! XD When I read the books, I love all the characters. But when fanon comes into play, I hate Ginny and Ron. XD

Date: 2009-04-29 12:43 pm (UTC)Sarcasm = must. Draco would seem weird without it. XD Sexual tension = super plus side. I'll try it out. Phew. Am really busy these days. XD
...she's Asian. It's exotic.
Us in a nutshell. XD
I know! Ron was one of my favourite characters before fanfics started ruling my life. I remember those days when I was super anti-dark side. Now it just seems stupid of me. XD The Malfoys have taken over my life.

Date: 2009-04-29 11:39 pm (UTC)(Just wondering, can you read my entries? Idk, since you haven't commented on the last few. Maybe there's a problem...)
Sarcasm and sexual tension make fanfics the best things in the world. :) I know what you mean about being busy...I'm exhausted.
Hahaa! Asians ftw. Nerdy, we may be. Prudy, we are not. ;D (Although so many Asians are so innocent, I want to shoot them. XD)
Yeah, Ron always was a funny guy. I still love him in the books. But in fanfics, it's like, "Why are you even in here? GET OUT AND LEAVE HERMIONE ALONE!" XD Malfoys are just 846573348 times more attractive, that's why. :D
no subject
Date: 2009-04-30 02:08 pm (UTC)(I must have skipped them. XD Will try to comment ASAP. But I'm on hiatus starting tomorrow. Oout of town and all those blah. Will be back soon and will miss you!)
And when sexual tension and sarcasm are added in fanfics, it's awesome. =D Gah. I think I want to shoot myself because everything is so hectic.
Prudy? Us? PUH-LEASE! We must be one of the least prudy Asians to ever exist. XD (Those who are really innocent are alright, those who are but go out of the way to show that they aren't... O___o?)
The Malfoys have advantages. Rich, elegant, blond and sexy? Who can resist them? Although I do have my own liking for Weasley men (i.e. Fred, Charlie, Bill), too, no one really beats Draco. =DDD

Date: 2009-05-01 12:40 am (UTC)(Oh, right. I forgot about that. Have fun!!! Miss you too. <3)
When you read a story with so much awesomeness, you feel so relaxed. :) Unless you have piles of homework, a buttload of tests, and..well...school crap. :( *saves you from misery*
Hahaa! True that. We just kill the Asian stereotype. XD (Ugh, I can't stand them. It's like they're shielding themselves from the obvious. :P)
Draco is the bomb. Malfoys are just made to please people like us. :) I like Charlie and Fred, but I've never really read stuff with Bill, so I can't say.
