Summary: Window shopping date

Draco tucked Pansy's hand more firmly in the crook of his arm and smiled at her. "All right, Parks, where to next? Any other shop you'd like to examine?" They'd gone 'just looking' at practically every shop in Hogsmeade's high street, but he didn't think they were done. Not for a good while. There might not be hand-made Italian shoes or other such entertainments to buy here, but he knew Pansy, and knew they had a while to go yet.

Pretty. Smart. Nice to spend time with...

Pansy blinked back tears and closed her eyes so she didn't have to look at him tell her how wonderful their professor was. "If she's so wonderful, why are you with me?" Yes, she was jealous. She didn't want to be, but she was. Draco probably didn't have to worry about staying in control with an older woman. Pansy knew she was being a little unreasonable but he didn't tell her she was pretty and smart and nice to spend time with, that was for his precious Rory.

Startled, Draco sputtered and fought to find words. "What? Why? Why? Why am I with you? Because I love you." Draco slid his arms around her and cradled her close, bundled up in his cloak with his head bent to hers. "Pansy, I love you. I've been in love with you since we were kids. I want to grow up and grow old with you, always have. You're my lady, Petals. You're my girl. I don't-don't think of her like that. I don't want her. I'm not thinking about jumping her or-or-or some wild, uninhibited shag or-no. I don't think about anybody like that. Not even you. Well, I mean, I do, but I try not to, 'cause I shouldn't, but a bloke can't help himself sometimes, so maybe I do think about it, and--" Draco felt his face going hot and he swore under his breath. He was fairly certain he'd just made things worse.

"Oh, Draco. You say the most wonderful and the most confusing things," she said, wrapping her arms around him and letting his closeness comfort her. He put his foot in his mouth -- again -- but she was coming to understand that there things he wanted that he wasn't allowing himself to have or even to admit to wanting, and that was mostly because he was afraid of upsetting her. Draco wasn't someone used to denying himself. That he was trying to do what he thought he needed to do in order to respect her was really very sweet for all that his contradictions were confusing. "I think about --um, our wedding night and --ah, other times as well," she whispered. It was impossible not to do so and wonder how much better it would feel when it was his fing-- Pansy swallowed and forced herself away from that line of thinking. Draco wanted her, not Rory. Pansy focused on that.

"You're the only woman in the world for me," he told her quietly. "You're the only one I ever think about when I'm, er. When I let myself think about anything like that. Not her, not anyone else. You, Petals." Draco dipped and kissed the soft spot beneath her ear, shaking a little with the effort of keeping just to that, especially after hearing her say that she thought about their wedding night and other times. "Always you. Only you, love. Since the first time I-- Um." Since the first time he'd woken with his sheets in a mess and stuck to his skin. Since the first time he'd experimented just to see what it felt like on purpose and learned it felt astounding. Since he'd look at Pansy in class and be suddenly grateful for the heavy, shielding black robes. Draco straightened up, cheeks and ears pink. "It's always been you. Never will be anyone but you. Not any of the girls I ever flirted with because I wanted you to pay attention to me, or Astronomy professors, or Quidditch stars or anyone. Just you."

	"All right, Draco. I believe you. I think we should have that drink now." If they didn't go inside soon, she'd consider dragging him off somewhere for some proper -- or improper -- kissing. Just her, he'd said. Pansy filed what he said away for later. That was what she wanted. For it to only be her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Draco kissed the corner of her mouth and let go of her to open the heavy door to the restaurant. He pushed it open and stepped in to hold it for her, smiling at the host waiting at the little podium just inside. His smile froze when the host gave him a glare. Draco wasn't sure what the problem was for a moment, then his chest tightened as the wizard's gaze went straight to his left arm and back to his face. The same face in the middle of a poster behind the podium, with his father, his uncles, his other associates all listed as well.

"Your custom is refused," the wizard said, voice close to a snarl.

Draco took a deep breath. "I just want a drink with my girlfriend."

The wizard came around the podium and Draco tensed. He took a step back, knowing he couldn't go for his wand. Fighting was definitely against his pardon. The wizard shoved him out the door and onto the step. "Death Eater scum," he said and slammed the door hard.

Draco ground his teeth. "C'mon," he said without looking at Pansy. "Place looked filthy anyway."

	"Let's go. I don't feel like shopping any more." Who did that man think he was anyway? There was a time, she would have asked her father to find out. Now, all she wanted was just to be away from vile people like that. People might talk about peace and understanding, but they only meant for people like themselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Draco raised his head and stopped a sigh. Wasn't the first time that had happened, and it wouldn't be the last. From what he could tell, it was all right to hiss and hate as long as you'd kissed Dumbledore's arse at some point. "Yeah," he said quietly. "I understand. I'm sorry, Pansy. I'll make it up to you next date." Draco took her hand and led her away, heading back to Braeburn.
