    Summary


    Harry Potter is a bastard.

    Not literally, of course—god, the scandal—but he’s messy and he’s handsome and he’s sarcastic and he’s rude, really, unfailingly kind to the people who don’t matter and inexplicably hostile to the ones who do. He looks at Pansy like she’s an annoyance, at best, and a villain, at worst, and his distaste for her, for what she is and who she is and how she fits into the microscopically tiny mold of the world they’re forced to share—it makes her feel transparent. See-through, but not quite fortunate enough to be invisible.

    It happens like this.

    [ ALTERNATIVELY - Pansy is getting married for all the wrong reasons, and then she meets Harry. ]

    Summary

    “Pansy, we aren’t getting married.”

    He liked using her name. Kept saying it like he was cultivating it, nurturing it, tending to it like one of his plants. She could hardly help it though, being named after a flower.

    Nor could she help that she was on her way to being a little bit drunk with an equally tipsy Neville Longbottom.

    “You keep saying that, Longbottom. But I’m owling my mother as soon as we’re back at the school, and telling her to send an interest request. It makes perfect sense.”

    [In which Pansy's in the market for a husband.]

    Summary

    Let others fling themselves at Harry; let them confirm his bad opinion of them and slobber down his sleeve with their adoration. Draco knew that the best way to win Harry Potter’s heart was to be his friend first, and go so slowly he wouldn’t even realize you were doing it
