Pansy was still on a high from having gone on her date with Thoreau. It had been suck a good date. And Thoreau had been a gentleman. She smiled to herself as she walked up to Draco's dorm and knocked on the door before she stepped inside. She smiled at him and fell onto the bed beside him, holding out the vial.

"I got you these." Pansy replied, singing a bit. "They're especially for you. All our memories together in a bottle. Are you excited?"

	"If he makes you happy, that's all I care about." Pansy assured Draco and then laughed. "And if you honestly think I'd even go out of my way to talk to Merlin, then you're mental. Your secret is safe with me, Draco. I promise." And then Pansy pulled Draco back out of her memories and smiled at him. "I tried to include all that I could." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco blinked at Pansy for a moment, trying to wrap his head around everything. She'd done a good job catching him up. "I wondered about the Merlin thing. No one mentioned it except Rex Lestrange. I wasn't sure if everyone knew or not."

He ran a hand through his hair. "The Charlie Weasley issue is complicated right now. I don't remember him at all. I'm glad I told you about it. I was... surprised by the memories he showed me. You really had a crush on Longbottom?"

Pansy frowned at Draco for a moment, then shrugged. "Had." She told him, even if it wasn't true. Sometimes she still glanced at him from across the Great Hall at dinner time. And she'd seen his hairy chest once in Herbology. And she liked how curly his hair was.

"At least I don't fancy a professor." Pansy ran her fingers through her hair. "Charlie really loves you."

"Have. Had. It's still... very strange. I mean, I know he got a bit more..." Draco waved a hand. "But he's still Longbottom with his toad and his ugly sweaters. I suppose I can't talk now that I know I decided to risk everything for a Weasley."

He looked up at Pansy for a moment and then sighed. "He made that pretty clear. He showed me a bunch of memories of the two of us. I at least know I haven't had sex and forgotten all about it."

"Trevor is a very sweet toad." Pansy pointed out with a frown, feeling a bit defensive over a boy she hadn't said a word to since first year. She crossed her arms over her chest and shrugged. "I have a toad. Though, you probably don't remember. She's a Harlequin with gold stripes and I named her Ambrosia."

"No. You're still a virgin." Pansy told him with a shrug, looking him over. "I'm not sure why you haven't slept with him."

"You have a toad?" Pansy being willing to touch a toad surprised Draco. He was going to blame her apparent crush on Longbottom. "It doesn't really matter what I think, does it? You're dating Thoreau now."

He snorted. "I don't know either. I think Charlie said something about me saying I wanted to take it slow or wait or one of those other things people think." Draco looked at Pansy for a moment. "If I tell you something about my memories, will you promise not to tell anyone else?"

	"Yes... Your father bought it for me when I was nine. He wanted to buy me a cat, but I liked the toad." Pansy reminded him and then sighed, leaning against him. "I am dating Thoreau. He's a sweet boy." Pansy looked at Draco for a moment, feeling a little confused. "Something about your memories?" She asked, tilting her head. "Like what?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco wrapped an arm around Pansy. "As long as you're happy. I've stripped myself of all ability to complain about unsuitable suitors by having this Weasley thing be my new reality."

He looked at her for a moment, then sighed. "I'm... Things are more complicated than I've let on," he said. "It's not that I've lost my memories. It's that my past is... completely different from yours. I was working on repairing a cabinet for the Dark Lord. It was supposed to let Death Eaters into Hogwarts -- the war was lost in 1980 in that timeline -- but it sent me back to the forties instead. And I met Tom and I told him a few things about the future and then when I came back... this." Draco gave Pansy a worried look. "Merlin didn't exist. Thoreau didn't exist. My grandfather was dead. So was Evan Rosier. My father was in prison and the Dark Lord was threatening my mother and I with death and Fenrir Greyback if I failed my mission. It..." Draco shook his head. "This is much better. Nobody cares that I'm gay. My parents are happy. Alive." He looked at Pansy. "We were best friends in my old time too. I just... don't remember any of the new stuff. Tom knows, obviously."

Pansy stared at Draco. It was a lot to take in. A lot to take in. She wasn't sure what she was supposed to say about all of it. It seemed a little far fetched to her, but why would Draco lie to her? He'd never lied to her before. She chewed at her bottom lip, glancing down at her hands.

"You know that all that sounds completely mental, right?" Pansy asked as she looked up at him. "I mean... It's a lot to take in. And none of it makes sense. Is that even possible?"

"Unless this is the weirdest after life ever? Yes. It's possible. I -- hold on." Draco pulled out his wand and bottled Pansy's memories again before he concentrated on a few to show her. To prove he was telling the truth. She was the only person he'd trust with them.

He put them in the pensieve and then looked at Pansy. "Just -- look," he said. "It's only a couple of them."

	Pansy hesitated, looking down at the basin. This seemed a bit odd to her, for Draco to be a completely different person. She chewed at her bottom lip again, then leaned down and plunged her face into the basin, shivering slightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Pansy and Draco were four and it was his first memory of meeting her. The real way he'd met, he thought. Pansy looked uncomfortable in her lacy, poofy dress and Draco was sort of intrigued by it. Pansy's mother pushed her towards Draco and he decided he liked her when she frowned briefly before doing an awkward curtsey in front of him.

"M'Draco," Draco said, feeling a bit shy, all of the sudden. "Would you like to be my friend? I have some other friends. You could meet them too if you were my friend."

	Pansy was tiny and very unsure of herself as she looked back at the very blond boy. She looked up at the woman above her, giving her a scared look, then glanced back at the boy in front of her, holding out her hand for him. "I'll be your friend." She told him, then shoved the thumb of her free hand into he mouth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco smiled brightly and grabbed Pansy's hand, immediately dragging her away from the adults. "Good," he said. "We're going to be best friends from now on. Don't worry."

The scene changed, and Draco and Pansy were eleven and sitting together in the Slytherin Common Room. Draco was fuming. "Harry bloody Potter gets everything," he said, glaring at the window that looked into the lake. "It's not fair. I want to feed that prat to the giant squid. The professors are playing favourites, putting him on the Quidditch team."

A very sympathetic looking Pansy sat on the couch in the room with Draco, watching him as he got angry about Harry Potter. Yet again. And though she looked sympathetic, there was also an air of boredom in her eyes.

"Draco." Pansy sighed softly, reaching out and taking his hand. "They shouldn't be playing favourites. You're a beautiful flier. Can your father do anything?"

Draco looked up at Pansy for a moment, then shrugged and looked away. "He's already disappointed in me for not making friends with him," he told her. "He says Potter could have been a very useful ally to have. If I tell him about this he'll just be even worse."

He squeezed Pansy's hand, shifting so his head was in her lap, looking up at her. "Next year. Next year I'll get on the Quidditch team and I'll show everyone. I'm much better than sodding Harry Potter."

	"I know that you will, Draco. I know how determined you are to show people just how talented you are." Pansy kissed Draco softly on the cheek and smiled at him, squeezing his hand in her own. "I'll always believe in you. No matter what. You know that, don't you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
