Who Pansy and Draco
Where Hogsmeade, then... around
When Evening
Rating PG, maybe?

Pansy closed her journal and breathed a small sigh, closing her eyes slightly. She'd sat down in the Three Broomsticks... or what she remembered to be the Three Broomsticks. She hadn't really looked at the name. It was still just as nice, anyhow. She hadn't ordered anything, but the woman said that she could stay, since it was getting slightly chilly outside. She received a slight glance from the patron who walked in, but Pansy wasn't concerned with him. She was waiting for a very specific person.

She only hoped that her husband hadn't come through the veil as well, as she'd been told she did. The bartender seemed to know a good deal about what had happened, but he didn't seem to want to discuss it much, so she didn't push it. She sat back in her chair and opened her eyes, glancing around, hoping that Draco would show up soon. The sunset was nice, but it had lowered to the height of the windows, casting a bright, orange glow into the pub, obstructing her vision to the outside.

To say he was confused, was putting it mildly. None of this made any sense to him, especially his being alive once more. And the year in which he was alive. None of it should be possible, even with magic. And yet there he sat alive once more in the year three thousand and still not a blood fucking clue as to what was going on.

At least there was one bright spot though. A familiar face, a very familiar one indeed. He had been surprised but pleased to see Pansy's writing in the journals and even happier when she had agreed to meet with him. Stowing his journal away in the light bag slung over his shoulders he glanced around once before disapparating with a pop, only to reappear in the middle of Hogsmeade. He paused for a moment, debating on where she would be and after a short internal debate he headed towards where the Three Broomsticks used to be. Hopefully it would still be standing.

Sighing in relief at seeing the building still there his steps picked up pace and he covered the ground quickly, ducking inside just as the sun dipped lower and the lights inside the tavern came up. Pausing in the door way he waited for his eyes to adjust before scanning the small crowd, looking for her familiar face.

Pansy spotted Draco the second he walked in, mostly because he was exactly as she remembered him. She wanted to run up and hug him, but she felt that wouldn't be a good idea, so she gave him a smile and a wave before calling his name to finally grab his attention.

"Draco!"

Draco's head turned the left at the sound of his name a smile tugged at the corner of his lips. She looked pretty much the same and in a world full of uncertainty that was a welcomed relief for him. Quickly he wove his way through the tables, coming to a stop next to the one she had claimed.

"Hello Pansy, been quite some time hasn't it?" Draco couldn't hold it in any longer, a brilliant grin spread across his face as he stared down at her, taking in the first familiar face he had seen since coming back.

Pansy stood up as he approached, unable to keep the smile away. It was so wonderful to see him, she really couldn't figure out how to express it any other way. So, without much warning, she did what she'd been wanting to do and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest in a tight hug. It was something her parents would frown upon, to be sure, but she honestly didn't care at this point. A friendly face was what she needed and she felt that she'd jut gotten what she wanted for years.

"Yes, it has," she said, smiling against his chest. His smile was so welcoming and she really didn't want to let go. She wasn't sure if she should, but she decided to wait for him to demand that she release him immediately.

Draco grunted softly when she latched onto him, a surprised look crossing his face as he stared down at the top of her head. It was several moments before his arms came up and wrapped tightly around her, pulling her closer to him as his grin only grew brighter.

"Perhaps next time, we shouldn't let so much time pass between us seeing each other all right?" He cocked his head to the side a bit, his grin going crooked for a moment before tightening his hold on her.

Pansy looked up at him, resting her head on his shoulder. "That sounds wonderful to me," she said. She'd been rather lonely and there wasn't a day that went by without a thought lent to Draco. She'd always wondered if things would be different if she'd spoken up and married him, instead of conforming to what her parents wanted and going with her husband. Not that she didn't love her children, but she wished things would have been different.

"How was your life, Draco?" she asked him. "Tell me all about it." She wanted to hear, even if he'd loved Astoria. She wanted to know how he'd lived his life.

Draco nodded once before moving around to pull her chair out for her once more and waited for her to be seated before moving around the table and taking his one seat. With a slight nod at the barkeep he ordered a glass of scotch before returning his attention to her. Merlin he had missed her. He realized just how important she was until they had lost contact during their seventh year and then even more so after that until the point came where he no longer spoke with her. That had been a hard blow for him to deal with. Pansy had always been there for him, had always been his best friend and in the end he felt as though he had let her down somehow.

"Life was interesting. The best part though? Was having my son, even if his mother is a harping bitch. Why my father ever chose that girl for my wife I will never understand. She is the last person I would have chosen to carry the Malfoy name and title of Mistress. My mother did a better job of it than Astoria ever did. Bloody bitch."

Pansy finally released him and sat down in the chair he'd pulled out for her. So that was slightly embarrassing and the bartender had stared for a few moments before rolling his eyes and going back to his work. Not speaking with Draco had been the hardest thing in her life that she ever had to do. There had been many occasions where she had written him a letter, only to tear it up and throw it away, unable to bring herself to send it. She hadn't wanted Astoria to get a hold of it, nor did she want to bother Draco if he didn't want to hear from her. Now she knew those thoughts had been silly.

She smiled slightly. "The children make it all worth it, don't they?" she asked him, leaning back in her chair and crossing her legs. "I think your father wanted what was best for you, even if he didn't quite understand that." She glanced at him. "Perhaps he didn't know Astoria before she was chosen for you." She looked down at her lap. If only her parents had negotiated with the Malfoys... even after the final battle.

"My father was only concerned with the next heir being pretty. Otherwise he wouldn't have chosen a bloody bimbo for my wife. Woman irritates the bloody piss out of me. And if it weren't for the fact that my father held disowning me over my head until the day he died, I would have divorced her as soon as I possibly could have."

Draco shuddered at the thought. He had put up with the bint as long a he could before sentencing her to one of the wings of the manor and banishing her from his. It was the only way he could tolerate to live under the same roof as her. He was pleasant and cordial and acted like the doting husband in public, but behind closed doors it was a completely different story.

"But enough about my harpy of a wife, tell me about you. We lost contact after Hogwarts, I swear though I read somewhere that you got married?"

She gave him a sympathetic smile, knowing all too well how he felt. It had been just as bad with Edward, maybe even worse. She didn't have the luxury of banning him from her wing of the house, so she'd put up with him until her death, mostly for the sake of the children. There had been days where she would wish there had hoped he wouldn't come home due to some magical accident. Something Mungo's couldn't cure. Or maybe he'd even died. She almost felt guilty for thinking such thoughts, but not quite.

As he asked her about her marriage she looked down at her lap again, the smile leaving her face entirely. It was one thing to think about Edward, but to actually talk about him was hard. She'd never voiced her thoughts to anybody on the subject, so this was going to be interesting.

"I..." she hesitated, almost worried he would burst through the door. "Yes. I did get married. To Edward Urquhart." She wasn't sure what else to say without delving into their relationship and how bad it was. She didn't want to just start talking... and then she would cry. After all these years, she knew that she would, and she didn't want to do that in front of Draco. Not right now.

The light mood and easy going tone he had been carrying around himself disappeared immediately as he watched some sort of change come over her. Reaching out he placed a hand on top of her.

"Pansy? You can tell me anything love. Nothing you say to me will ever go beyond us. Its always been like that yeah? Keeping each others secrets. Why should now be any different?"

Draco wasn't use to being so kind and caring with females. Then again that may have something to do with the harping, greedy bitch he had been married to. Either way this was his best friend, or had been at one point in time. The last thing he wanted to see was her in pain. Which from the look on her face said to him that she was just that.

She glanced up at him and managed to force a smile. All those years of pretending that things were okay had made that an automatic response. Though, when she saw his face, her smile faded away and she sighed, looking away from him again. She didn't want to have to look at him as she explained things.

"My marriage wasn't the best," she started. "Edward and I didn't get along as well as I would have liked. The only good part about our marriage was the children." She sighed softly and shook her head. "That's the only thing that kept me with him."

She'd never opened up to anyone about this before. Even with what little she'd told him, she felt her eyes start tearing up, knowing she was going to cry. She hadn't cried for 20 years... it was really an odd feeling.

Draco didn't know how to react to that or what to say. His marriage wasn't the best either but some part of him said that the two situations weren't the same. Sighing he moved his chair closer to her, his hand coming up beneath her chin as he raised her head gently.

"It doesn't matter now love. Its done and over with and in the past. The one good thing about being alive again, or at least the one good thing I can see is that we all have second chances. A chance to do with our lives as we see fit. To do whatever we want with whomever we want. And that includes you. So how about we change the subject and you tell me about your children. I'm not sure I ever met them."

He smiled at her once more, hoping the light tone he had adapted would help her. It really bothered him when females cried, he never knew what he was supposed to do or how he was supposed to react and it seemed that even death hadn't changed that about him.

She managed a real smile at him this time as he lifted her head up. Then he changed the subject and she couldn't be more grateful for it. She knew Draco didn't handle people crying very well. She hadn't wanted to start crying in front of him, so this was a much needed change of subject.

"They were wonderful," she said, smiling even more as he mentioned her children. They always manged to make her smile, even though they weren't there. "Eddie went to school with Scorpius, but he was a couple years younger. I just know that he mentioned him." She smiled a little more. "He looked up to him, actually." It had always been the highlight of her day to receive letters from her children, and when Eddie mentioned Scoripus Malfoy, it made her even more happy.

"I'll admit I never really paid much attention to the contents of Scorpius' letters when he sent them home. That was Astoria's territory. To gush and love over every word he wrote or said. I just took pride in the fact that he was writing to me. That unlike myself and my father he didn't hate me and still took the time to write home."

He frowned a bit at that. It had gotten easier as the years went on to admit just how much he hated and loathed his father. Until the day where he had actually told the other man just that. He didn't see or speak to his father again after that. Not until the day his mother summoned him home to tell him that his father was dead.

Draco just hoped that his wife hadn't done the same thing to his son after learning he had died. He would smack the bitch and curse her with everything he had if she had.

"You never think something like a child will change you that much, until you actually hold your own for the first time. Its a powerful thing. One I never understood fully until I held Scorpius for the first time. Nothing mattered after that beyond making sure he was happy and healthy."

She smiled as he talked about Scorpius. He seemed proud of his son, as well he should be, from what she'd heard. She frowned as well, though, when he started talking about Lucius. She knew he hadn't had the best relationship with him, but to hear the word 'hate' come from him was shocking. Perhaps she'd missed where he finally found out that he hated his father. She wished she could have been there for him then, but that wasn't the issue now.

"I know what you mean," she told him. "I never thought I would be a good mother until I had Eddie and Christine." She smiled at the thought of those moments. She knew her children loved her. Eddie had always been very attached to her, even asking if he could live at home for a year or so after Hogwarts.

He just hmmed at her words as he signaled at the bar tender to bring them a round of drinks. Thoughts of his father had brought up darker memories and a darker time of his life that he didn't want to face yet. He had spent his entire life running from it, pretending it hadn't happened and once his son had been born he had thrown everything he had into raising him, into making sure he was protected and taken care of and never wanted for anything. Including love and attention, something he had lacked and desperately craved from his own father.

"We never think we'll be good at anything until we try it at least once. You could even say that about life especially now that we all seem to have a second chance at it."

"That's true," she said, smiling slightly. She paused then, watching his expression. She knew this question wasn't the best in the world, especially for the mood they both seemed to be in, but she really had to know. "Draco... if you could do life over and change things... what would you change?"

She knew what she would have changed. And if she changed that one thing, she never would have married Edward. She didn't regret it, but she knew she deserved better, as she knew Draco deserved better. She just wanted to know, but he wasn't under any obligation to answer if he didn't want to. It had been so long since they'd seen each other, she didn't know if she could say she was his best friend anymore. She'd always felt like he was her's, though.
