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?"

"He came back. They did something. My father was there. He told me all about it. It's -- he didn't even want me to mention it to Mother." Draco couldn't help feeling excited. This meant things were finally going to change. The whole world wasn't going to revolve around Harry Potter anymore.

"Things are going to get so much better," he said. "Once the Dark Lord is in charge pure-bloods will be on top again. Mudbloods won't be able to take our jobs anymore."

Pansy was not sure about that. The fact that the Dark Lord had come back and everything she'd read about him. Sure, Pansy believed in the purity of bloodlines and keeping it within actual magical families. But, this was frightening. He was back.

"Draco..." Pansy sighed softly. "You've read what he did during the first war. Excuse me if I'm a little scared of the idea."

"We don't have to worry about that, though," Draco told Pansy. "We're purebloods. We're some of the only real wizards left." He leaned in and kissed Pansy's forehead. "I'm going to protect you, Pans. Don't worry. You're safe with me."

The scene changed again. Draco sat in his bedroom with Pansy again, a year later. It was obvious that he'd been crying. He ran a hand through his hair. "This is all Potter's fault," he said, voice vicious. "He ruins everything. He's the reason my father is in jail."

Pansy gave Draco a sad look and pulled him into a hug. She wasn't sure that Draco could strictly blame Harry Potter for all of his troubles, though he seemed to think that he could. She pet at his hair for a moment and shook her head.

"This is the ministry's fault, Draco. They're the ones with all the rules." Pansy kissed him tenderly on the lips. "I don't know how to fix this."

"You can't," Draco said, pushing Pansy away. "There's nothing you can do. It's up to me now. I'm going to make Potter pay. I'm going to make sure my father is released. I'm the man of the house now. It's up to me."

The memory faded into flashes of other memories. Pansy wasn't in them. Draco showed her how worried his mother was, how he'd screamed when he was marked and his aunt had laughed. Occlumency lessons with Bellatrix where she tore into his mind and then taunted him for the things she found. Greyback. The Dark Lord promising that Draco and his mother would be given to Greyback and his father would be left to rot in Azakban if he failed his mission. Then Hogwarts, isolating himself from his friends and locking himself in the Room of Requirement over and over again while he tried to fix the cabinet. Finally, he showed her how he'd fallen through it and spoken to Tom and changed the future.

When the memories ended, Draco offered Pansy a towel, giving her a worried look. "Do you believe me?" he asked her. "Or do you just think I'm crazy?"

Pansy pulled back and took the towel, thinking over what she was going to say to him. What she even thought about what he'd shown her. Everything had been so different. So... glum. She chewed at her bottom lip.

"It would be really hard to make up those kinds of memories on the spot." Pansy pointed out, after a moment of contemplation. "It's... Your world seemed horrible. Why would... It was horrible, Draco. Why would anyone want a world like that?"

"I didn't choose it," Draco pointed out. "That was just the world I was born into. This one is better. Everyone I care about is safe and happy here."

He gave Pansy a small smile. "I'm glad I showed you what it was like. I'm glad someone knows. I explained to Weasley, but I didn't show him the memories. My Weasley memories are all of the Weasel, Potter, and Granger being twats."

	Pansy looked back at Draco and shook her head. "I don't know who they are." She admitted as she shrugged. "I mean, the last Potter died in the sixties. He was one, I believe. James Potter. There was a huge controversy when The Dark Lord had him put to death." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Draco wasn't going to let himself feel bad over that, even if it was his fault. "Granger was a mudblood," he said. "She's probably still around somewhere. The Weasel is Ron Weasley. Harry Potter was the boy who defeated the Dark Lord when he was a baby and then just... kept doing it. This world is better. So much better. Even if I have to marry Merlin here."
