It's so refreshing to read a fic where Pansy and Draco have a platonic , almost sibling-like relationship the way Hermione and Harry do. So often Pansy's cast as Draco's slut or the co-dependent groupie who jealously guards her interests in Draco. I love that Draco here acknowledges her as "the sister he never had."
So I guess there's no Harry/Pansy here then?
I like how you've woven Draco and Hermione's reconciliation around dancing. It brings it back to the moment when they first got together on the balcony.
Lovely job, cherii_emrei! I love how you worked the four of them through the chapter. I don't even understand dance moves whatsoever but I think I got the general picture in my head. :) And the kiss.. wonderfully written!
I was worried that the dancing would be too technical. I had salsa music blasting in my room, and I had to get up and dance for a while. And that silver beaded shawl is real. It belongs to my ssiter and I borrowed it while I was writing. haha.
So I guess there's no Harry/Pansy here then? Y'know, I have no clue what happens the next two days. lol. I did try to steer it in that direction, tho!
The Draco and Pansy relationship stem from the very first time I saw those promo pics that had Pansy on it. [see icon]. And then when I saw her face, I thought there was no way in hell she's one of those groupies!
lol! "When the going gets tough, the tough go spa-ing". And Pansy knows just what to say to him - getting wrinkles, hahaha
I think everybody feels the weight of the challenge once they have to write their day. Everytime I got a new chapter from someone, I was dying to know what would happen next. I have complete faith that your day rocks, that you took D/Hr where they needed to be and that you will twist my heart. :D

Great chapter. I love how you make Pansy a support and a challenger for Draco. He needs equal parts on acceptance and a good swift kick.
I absolutely see Draco doing a when the going gets tough, the tough go spa-ing kind of thing. He would completely appreciate the pampering.
I like the symmetry of the dancing, echoing back to day 1.
You were a tough act to follow. ;) Hope I did your chapter justice.
