"Can you believe the ball is this weekend?" I ask, laying beside Pansy in bed. Y/N sits at the foot, head leaning against the post. Pansy fiddles with a loose button on her shirt, and to her dismay, it breaks off from its thread.

"I'm not going," Pansy shrugs, shifting around looking for her lost button.

"You're not?" Y/N asks, looking up from her book.

"Nobody's asked me," Pansy sighs, finding her button and placing it on her nightstand. "It won't be fun to go alone."

"Sure it will. You'll still hang out with me and Y/N," I suggest, nudging her arm with my elbow.

"Yeah, but at the end of the night, you'll ditch me for some dick," she groans with a smirk, falling dramatically onto my lap. "Of course, I wouldn't blame you, but it'd be absolutely heart-wrenching."

"We can run away in the middle of the night and hide ourselves in a broom closet," I joke, rolling my eyes at Pansy's joke.

"Will you?" She asks with as much hope as a child.

"A threesome sounds much more exciting, though. Doesn't it?" Y/N smirks, adding in.

"Are you going with anyone, Y/N?" I ask, wondering if she is. I haven't really asked Y/N about her 'love' life recently, and I don't want to push.

"...Theo..." she replies slowly, closing her book and setting it down beside her. Her eyes flicker between Pansy and me.

"What?!" Pansy sits up straight with her eyes bulging out of her sockets.

"What?" Y/N frowns with a furrowed brow.

"I never would've expected it," Pansy grins, shrugging and slouching back down in her seat.

"Theo Nott? The Theo from Madam Malkin's"

"Him," Y/N responds, nodding, ignoring Pansy's gloated look. 

"So that's who you've been off with the nights you aren't here," Pansy says with a loose laugh, crossing her arms and looking Y/N in the eye.

"Y/N!" I throw the pillow that's behind me at Y/N's head. She catches it before it hits her head and shucks it back at me.

"Don't look at me like that," she groans as I give her a mildly disgusted look. "Merlin knows what you've done with, -Terence-" Y/N fake gags at the name of my boyfriend, and Pansy starts bursting out laughing. I roll my eyes with a frown.

"Yeah, but are you guys even dating?" I ask, crossing my arms stubbornly.

"I-" Y/N stops her laughing and pauses for a brief second. "I mean, no. Not technically."

"Is he better than Draco?" Pansy scoffs before her expression drops at the realization of what she's just said. The room goes silent for a second. and Y/N looks like she's about to kill Pansy. Pansy shrinks back, defeatedly dropping her head into her knees. I swear I hear her whisper, 'Merlin, just kill me now' with a sad groan.

Y/N must've heard it too because she cocks her head at Pansy before speaking very carefully like she's counting her own breaths, "He's...he's different..."

"Have you picked out your dress?" I say, quickly changing the subject.

"Yeah, I went with Theo earlier last week," she nods, and for a second, she turns to look at her cabinet of clothes.
