"Very well," Draco said. "The timing is a shame, but I won’t hold you back after I made that promise to you. At the very least, you’ll be back with us by the time Hermione gives birth. I suppose Longbottom and Lovegood have learned the ropes around here by now. You’ve been nothing but loyal since you came here, Pansy. You’ve earned my trust and I hope during your time off, you don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything. I’ll be more than happy to help—as long as you can guarantee me you’ll return when this break ends."
