slytherin100 #140: Assumption
Characters: Pansy Parkinson, Draco Malfoy
Warnings: None
Author's Note: I've had this idea in my head for about a while, and I'm not perfectly happy with it, but I can't put my finger on what's off. Oh well, more practice on writing Pansy.

“No?”
Pansy smirked at the disbelief in his voice. Draco still wasn’t used to being refused anything, even though the Malfoy name had lost considerable respect since the war.
“No,” she repeated, relishing the wounded look on his face.
“But Pansy – it’s what you’ve always wanted. To be a Malfoy –”
She laughed bitterly, interrupting him. “It’s what I wanted, before. But I happen to know Daddy told you to marry, and you assumed I’d be happy to go along with the idea. But your family isn’t exactly on top, anymore, Draco.”
“Neither is yours,” he shot sullenly.
“No, it’s not.”
