Pansy had left the Yule Ball early, from becoming increasingly frustrated with Draco's lack of attention towards her. She had asked him numerous times to dance, but he either just looked at her blankly or graced her with a reply of "huh?". He seemed vaguely aware that she was sitting right next to him or possibly didn't register that she even existed. As far as Draco was concerned, the fact that he had asked Pansy Parkinson to be his date for the Yule Ball never happened. His mind appeared to be focused solely on only one thing; the radiant girl in lovely periwinkle blue that supposedly was not his nemesis" best friend.
