The Second Pair - Pansy and Padma
Padma's eyes were already wide with apprehension from what they'd been told, not her jaw dropped when she realised who was going to be her for a day and who she was going to be. Actually, she wasn't THAT bothered about being Pansy, she didn't hate the other girl... precisely, and Pansy tended to be fairly ladylike when she wasn't throwing a tantrum. However, the idea of Pansy being HER was incredibly disturbing, especially when she was supposed to be seeing Ernie for dinner. Could Pansy even cook?
She could refuse, but then she would lose her place. On the other hand, did she really WANT to be a part of this sisterhood which was turning out to be more trouble than it seemed worth. Yet... her mother would be so disappointed if she refused...
Obedience won and with a silent sigh, Padma took the present and opened it, looking over at Pansy.
