You and Pansy had never been close friends, but you two weren't strangers. Over these last few weeks you guys became closer and ended up being good friends. You were getting to a point of good friendship rather than acquaintances. Tension grew between you two out of nowhere. It was thick, you couldn't tell whether it was envy or something deeper.

Tonight you and a few other girls dressed up in your dorm for a Slytherin party. You went downstairs with them trailing behind you into the common room and split up to enjoy it on your own in different ways. You found yourself filling a red solo cup at a table that was set up. Not long after you finished pouring your cup you felt a pair of eyes on you. And when you looked up, you were met with sage green eyes on yours, none other than Pansy's.

There was no bitterness in her eyes. Nothing strange, it was like she had just recognized you, and when she did she smiled and continued sipping her drink. She turned her attention to another friend and you felt the eye contact break as she did.
