Pansy really didn’t know what to do when she arrived at dinner. She had expected it to be just her and Misses Malfoy. However, there were a few Death Eaters present and even the terrifying Bellatrix Lestrange. Pansy did her best to keep her features perfectly schooled.
“Good evening,” Pansy greeted Draco’s mother before nodding politely to the group at large. “Draco asked me to tell you that he doesn’t wish to come down for dinner and that he apologizes for his absence.”
She had been happy before that Draco wasn’t with them so that she could spend time alone with Misses Malfoy. However, that seemed not to happen. Sitting at the table, she tried to ignore the lecherous old men who stared at her and tried to be quiet, polite and aloof in the hopes that would see her through the meal.
