Pansy wasn't expecting company. No one ever really came to see her unless they were having a crisis, but as far as she knew, he friends were completely fine. Happy even. Then again, they were all always much more happy than she was. She was kind of miserable, especially now that everyone around her seemed to have a steady companion.

So, when the maid came to tell her that someone was at the door, Pansy was a bit surprised. She looked herself over in the mirror and smoothed her dress down, tucking a piece of stray hair that had fallen back up. She walked to the door and gave an odd look when Theodore Nott stood on the other side. "... Hello."

"Merlin's always going on about him," Theo said, after a moment. Taking about what he knew of Pansy's friend seemed fairly safe. "They've been friends since they were small, right? If you get him drunk enough, he won't shut up about Draco Malfoy, and then he expects you not to have figured out that he's gay."

He rolled his eyes. "People always think they're so good at hiding their secrets. The bistro is supposed to be good." Theo stepped into the lift with Pansy and pushed the button for the ground floor.

Pansy gave Theodore an odd look when he mentioned Merlin being gay. "We're not going to talk about that. If he wanted to talk about it, he would talk about it to you by himself. Merlin doesn't like me as it is. I don't need to give him another reason."

She smiled at him and looked around the lift for a moment, wondering what the two of them would even have in common. "What... made you look for me?"

"I liked you," Theodore said, looking at Pansy and shrugging. "And I didn't think you'd mind me looking. We got along well enough, I thought. I enjoyed spending time with you."

He didn't know what they'd have in common either, but evidently Merlin hadn't been that thing so he'd have to try again. "I thought we got along well enough, after the fight. This time I think we should skip the fighting and go straight to the getting along part."

	Pansy arched a brow at that. He was awfully sure that they'd get along, or that they should at least try. And sure, they'd gotten along fine, but, she barely knew anything about him. They'd not talked long. "And if I don't like a single thing about your personality?" Pansy asked, looking him over. "What if you're a truly rubbish person?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm not," Theo said, raising an eyebrow at Pansy. "Should I be worried that you are, since you're already worrying I might be rubbish? There are a lot of places between soul mate and enemy."

He led her out of the lift, getting the door for her and then walking her to his waiting limo. "If we don't like each other, it's only been a couple hours in one afternoon. I'll drive you back home and we'll say our goodbyes. No harm done. That's how a first date works."

	Pansy smiled at him and got into the car, then looked back at the boy beside her. "I was only joking with you, Theodore. If i thought you were rubbish for even a moment, I wouldn't have agreed to come out with you." She crossed her legs and looked at his car. He was clearly very rich. "How long have you known Merlin?"

"A few years," Theo said, shrugging and glancing at Pansy. "We share similar interests and travel in a lot of the same circles. He'd just never bothered introducing me to his other friends before this. You're younger, right?"

He pushed a button and instructed the driver to take then to the bistro, then smiled at Pansy. "I had heard some things about you, but for the most part he concentrates on Draco when he talks about his other friends."

	"I'm only a year younger than he is. Not even. More like seven months." Pansy admitted, shrugging. "He probably makes it seem like it's much more. He calls me immature." Which, she hated. Merlin was a bastard. She looked at Theodore. "I'm not as bad as he says. He doesn't like me because I take away attention from him when it comes to Draco." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Merlin is about forty on the inside," Theodore pointed out, laughing at the slightly grumpy expression on Pansy's face. "I didn't think you were more than a year younger than him. As far as I know, outside of Blaise and I most of Merlin's friends are his sister's age."

He raised an eyebrow at Pansy. "I don't think Merlin's told me anything bad about you," he said. "Nothing irredeemably bad, anyway. He can be judgmental."

	"He grew up with us. And his mother's brother is one of Draco's fathers." Pansy pointed out. "That's how long they've known each other. Since birth. I came in not long after and he hated me from then on." Pansy crossed her legs. "Judgmental is an understatement. He's a petty tyrant who has locked me in closets." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Theo laughed at that, although he was sure it hadn't been pleasant for Pansy. "He locked you in closets?" he repeated, raising an eyebrow. "That's a side of Merlin I haven't seen before. I want to know more about his psychopathic youth."

He shook his head at the thought of it. "I guess it's safe to say he's the jealous type. I'll have to tell Blaise about that if he ever meets Draco. Blaise is a flirt."

	"He's more than a psychopath. He's a sociopath." Pansy informed Theodore, shaking her head. "He can make anyone like him and think he's a good person. I know better. I know different." Pansy arched a brow at that. "Draco would slaughter him." She shook her head. "Draco nearly killed Thoreau for hitting on him and we're all friends. Let alone an outsider."

Theodore was amused by the animosity Pansy clearly felt for Merlin. Merlin was very intelligent and definitely had a knack for getting his own way, but Theodore wouldn't classify him as a sociopath. "I'll make sure I'm around when Blaise meets him, then. It sounds like it'll be fun to watch."

He smiled at Pansy as they pulled up outside the bistro, getting out of the car first so he could open her door for her. "Sociopaths run the country already. It's best to get on Merlin's good side now and take advantage of his position later."

	Pansy looked at Theodore for a moment and shook her head. "No thanks. I think I'd rather be a starving girl he hates than to be prosperous from being his friend." She admitted, looking up at the bistro. She sighed softly when her picture was taken, then tugged on Theodore's hand. "Let's go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Theodore glanced back at the person who had taken Pansy's photo as they walked into the bistro. "I'll make sure we don't get a table near a window," he said. "You weren't kidding about the photographers."

He had then taken to a booth in the middle of the table, taking the seat facing the window so there'd be less of her to photograph. "Do they stalk you often?" he asked. "My family's wealthy, but I've never had a problem with paparazzi being interesting in me. I suppose I've never spent much time with a public family like the Malfoys though."

	"They think that Draco and I are an item, even though I've pointed out that we aren't." Pansy shrugged, looking at Theodore. "They think I'll be Malfoy royalty one day." She looked down at the menu and hummed thoughtfully. "I don't know what I want. Do they have cheesecake here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Theodore laughed at that. Even before he'd met Draco, it had been pretty clear to him from the photos of the other boy that appeared in the popular press that he was not straight. "Do they also think you're blind?" he asked. "You're a smart girl and even an idiot could see that Draco Malfoy is gay."

He picked up the dessert menu and handed it to her. "I'm going to get a sandwich and a cup of tea, I think."

	Pansy took the menu from him and shrugged. "He's bisexual. At least, that's what he tells himself." She informed Theodore, shrugging. "I think it helps him sleep better at night." Her eyes moved over the menu until she found the cheesecake. "I think I'll get the chocolate cheesecake with a side of strawberries. I had a salad earlier." (Reply to this)(Parent)
