Unfortunately for Draco, Astoria’s forwardness had spread through the entirety of the female population of Hogwarts, or the pureblooded ones anyway.  For some reason, they decided if they simply declared themselves his date then he would suddenly agree.  He would not.  They were not happy.  Pansy thought it was the funniest thing since the time Draco had made a fool of himself asking her to the Yule Ball (never spoken of again).
