Lee and Padma
Lee still wasn't sure exactly how he'd convinced Padma to help him sneak into the Ministry's Masquerade ball. Normally he wouldn't have come to this type of party but the opportunity to mess it up was too good to pass up. Pansy really had been asking for something like this with her comment about people with class. And banning the Weasley's. He just needed to wait for the perfect moment to empty his alcohol bottles into the punch and then he'd just watch.
He looked down at Padma and realised that he had no idea what she'd said in the last few minutes because he'd been lost in his own thoughts. He smiled sheepishly, "I got distracted. What were you saying?" he asked her, hoping that she wouldn't get upset about it. His friendship with Padma had been a little strained lately and he didn't want to do anything to make it even worse.
