quill Behind Her Mask - Sa16+
Behind Her Mask Sa16 + || Ron Weasley & Pansy Parkinson || If You Just Realize Sa13+

This idea just popped into my head.
I've changed a bit from the books for this fic, and it follows a minor character who deserves a major role!
It's during The Trio's last year at Hogwarts, and whoever died in any of the books is still alive.

DISCLAIMER: I do not claim or own anyone or anything created by JK Rowling. She receives full credit for all her creations and work.


Welcome inside my head, I hope you enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE: THE ACCIDENT

He wasn't there when the so called 'accident' happened at the ministry. He only remembers his father coming home in a hurry and relocating his whole family to the place where everything changed.
He knew it was a lie when his father announced the 'accident'. He could see the fear in his face and knew it just had something to do with Voldemort.

"You'll do as I say!" Arthur Weasley's voice was booming through the Burrow and that’s when Ron knew it was serious. His father rarely yelled. Mrs. Weasley had gone upstairs to collect Ginny and they were hurrying into the living area. Arthur had set down a top hat and pointed his wand at it, turning it into a port key.
"Arthur, what is this all about!?" Demanded Molly. Arthur only gave them a horrified stare and said, "There's been a terrible accident."
That's when he rushed them into grabbing the Port Key, not realizing they had left him behind.
Molly, Ginny and Ron disappeared from the burrow. Ron swore he saw a green flashing light headed towards the house as they vanished.
Ron appeared by his mother and sister in a ditch in the middle of nowhere. They were all peering down the road when Arthur appeared.
“Quickly!” He rushed them along the road and as they walked fast paced, Ron observed the only two houses around. They were on separate hills, probably a mile apart. They walked to the nearest one and his dad pointed his wand at the gate, saying some sort of password, making it open. He led them up the wide, long drive way and through an elegant garden. Ron started to take in the mansion more.
The house was like nothing his family had seen before. They were all gazing in amazement. The exterior of the mansion was a grey limestone and three stories high. Ron gawked at it and tried not to feel ashamed comparing it to the burrow.
Arthur knocked five times on the door slowly, then he whispered something Ron couldn't make out into the key hole.
The door opened to reveal two large men standing there. One Ron recognized.
“Ah, Kingsley.” Arthur said, rushing his family into the house.
“Arthur, we were worried.” Kingsley said as introduced the man he was standing with. Arthur shook his hand.
Molly and Ginny were marvelling at everything in the entrance way from statues to chandeliers. Ron glanced around bewildered by the place, feeling his heart pounding hard in his chest. Kingsley had Ron's dad drinking vertiserum, and asking him personal questions to confirm it was him. Their calm was broken by a blood curdling scream coming from upstairs.
All their eyes darted towards the stairs.
Kingsley looked to the ground, “Try to ignore that..” He said.
Molly looked at him, worried.
Kingsley cleared his throat, turning to Ron and Ginny.
“Mr. Worbix will take you two up to one of the rooms. Fred and George have already arrived.”
Molly thanked him.
Kingsley led Mr and Mrs. Weasley through hallways while the other tall man silently led Ron and Ginny up stairs.
“This place is brilliant.” Ginny whispered to Ron, who was looking at old paintings as they walked by.
They walked through a long hallway to the end and the man opened a door. Ron and Ginny walked in and he closed it behind them. Fred and George were sitting on a king sized bed, hovering over an opened box from their joke shop.
“You made it!” Fred exclaimed.
Ron approached them, “Made it where, exactly!”
Just then the door opened once more and in walked Harry and Hermione.
“Ron!” Hermione called, hugging him.
“I’m fine, Hermione.” He huffed at her. He had known why her and Harry were together and tried not to think of the details.
“We were so worried,” She continued to tell him. “Your father was apparently one of the last to leave the ministry.”
Ron looked at her, questionable. He had been left in the dark.
“Voldemort attacked the ministry. There’s nothing left of it!” Harry said, bluntly.
“Blimey..” Ron said as they explained the rest.
“Black’s house is in ruins too.” Hermione said. “So the order had to relocate.”
“Here?” Ginny asked.
“Yeah, it’s perfect.” George said, “Nobody will ever suspect it.”
“Where is this exactly?” Ron questioned, getting annoyed that nobody would answer him.
Hermione looked at Ron, a bit concerned. “This is the Parkinson Manor.”
“Parkinson?” Ron thought for a moment recognizing the name, “You don’t mean.. Pansy Parkinson?”
Just then another scream was heard above their room and they all looked up.
“That’s exactly who I mean.” Hermione finished.

CHAPTER TWO: SEEING THROUGH HER

Hours went by with them trapped in the room. It was a huge room, with more than enough space for the six of them. They filled their time with Fred and George’s gadgets.
The door opened once again, an hour later, and Kingsley was standing in the doorway.
“Dinner time.” He announced, his deep voice booming around the room. He escorted them through halls, down the magnificent stairs and down another long hallway, leading into a large dinning area. A great chandelier lit the room up, highlighting the long wooden table that was filled with food.
Harry was already on his way to hug Sirius. Other people in the room who greeted them were Mad Eye Moody, Hagrid, Lupin and Tonks. There were many others in the room, all seated around the table, about to eat. Ron took a seat along with the rest of the younger wizards.
Twenty minutes went by with conversation between the adults. Ron was trying to listen intently.
The door burst open, Snape walked in, holding Pansy by her arm. She squirmed from his grasp. Ron looked at her, noticing the state she was in and even though she was one of his worst enemies, he felt immediate pity. She was wearing pink pyjama pants and a darker pink low cut t shirt, both wrinkled and not in very good shape. Her hair was wavy and she would have looked pretty if it weren’t for the bruises all over her arms and the dark circles surrounding her eyes accenting her pale face. Snape sat down. Pansy however, elected not to move. She looked around the table, a fierce and angered expression glued to her face.
“You will join us, Pansy.” Sirius said, smiling while he stood, inviting her politely.
She walked across the room. Although she looked as if she had just been through torture, she stood somewhat proud.
Her voice was shaky. “I will not...” She glanced at Harry, Hermione and Ron. “...join you.” She mocked him with her very rude tone and attitude and left through another door.
Snape banged his fists on the table, putting down his knife and fork and let out a exaggerated sigh.
“Don’t worry, Severus. She can’t leave.” Lupin said, also annoyed, reminding him of the charms on the house.
Ron exchanged glances with Hermione and Harry. He couldn’t shake the image of her from his mind.
Dinner finished and Ron started to become more aware of what really happened and the plan from that time forward. He knew Voldemort had attacked the ministry and the former safe house of the Order, but he wasn’t too sure why. He also learned that they were to be stationed in the Parkinson’s house until Voldemort is brought under control. He was under the impression that Voldemort was now not just after Harry.
Most of the adults remained sitting at the table while dinner magically cleared away.
Ron, Harry and Hermione were whisked away by Lupin and Snape, who were bringing them through the halls. Once they reached the entrance way, beautiful chimes of a piano could be heard, filling the air with delightfully depressed sound. Snape and Lupin exchanged looks, and Lupin turned around to the rest.
“Now we know that Pansy happens to be in the same year as you three,” He said to them, studying their odd expressions.
“That’s why we think it best if you try to talk to her.. Befriend her.” He suggested.
“Um, sir..” Harry said, clearing his throat. “We don’t actually.. quite.. get along with her.” He stumbled over his words.
Lupin laughed, and Snape grunted, “She doesn’t get along with most people, Potter.”
They entered a large sitting area. Pansy was situated at a black grand piano in the corner, tears falling from her eyes. She noticed them walk in and stopped playing for a quick moment to wipe her eyes.
“What do you want?” She said through gritted teeth and then continued playing.
“Pansy, that’s lovely, truly.” Lupin said, watching her play, trying to be friendly. He approached her. Snape instructed the rest to sit. They did. Snape stood at the doorway, arms crossed.
“We just thought you could use some company.” Lupin told her.
Her eyes glanced to Ron, who was sitting nearest to her. She then shook her head, looking back down at the keys as her fingers moved so fluently across them, “What made you think that stupid idea?” She shot at Lupin.
“I know you’re not exactly friends, but they are great people, Pansy. They can understand what you’re going through.” He whispered to her, and she didn’t stop playing. “Don’t push them away. They could be all you’ve got.” He told her, feeling pain and sorrow for her. He placed his hand on her shoulder and got up, leaving the room with Snape.
She finished the song and stopped playing, looking down, feeling out numbered by them and intimidated. She pushed her feelings of intimidation to the back of her mind, replacing them instead with her mask of cruelty and spiteful attitude.
Harry and Ron gave Hermione concerned looks as she stood up.
“Um, hey Pansy.” She said, casually, walking over to her.
“I didn’t know you could play. You’re really good.” She told her. Pansy shot a frightful stare at her and stood up. She walked over to the fireplace, dramatically. “Look, you guys.” She started, feeling out of place talking to them. She decided to make their conversation short and sweet.
“I know what they told you to do but really it’s fine. You don’t have to waste your time pretending with me. They think I’m mentally unstable or something ridiculous.” She laughed nervously and turned around to face them, “They can’t do anything about what’s going to happen. Neither can you.” She said, coldly and walked out of the room, disappearing up the stairs. Harry Hermione and Ron watched her leave and decided to go back into the kitchen, feeling hope was lost with her.
“It’s no use.” Harry said to Lupin, with exhaustion in his voice.
“She’s bonkers.” Ron added as he entered.
“Sit down, you three.” Lupin said, sighing and they listened as he interrogated them.
“What really do you know about her? Or her family, for that matter?” He asked.
They thought for a moment, silently. “Nothing, I guess. Except that she’s close with Malfoy.” Hermione perked up.
Ron felt his blood boil as she mentioned that name.
“Do you know why?” Lupin folded his hands on the table.
They shook their heads, trying to remember seeing Pansy at School. All Ron could think about was Pansy following Draco like a lost puppy, swooning over him and everything.
Snape was hovering over Lupin as he explained,
“The Malfoy’s are nothing like The Parkinson’s. They’re only close because of their wealth. Now we all know the Malfoy’s have been dealing with You-Know-Who for many years. They have unsuccessfully tried to collect Pansy’s parents as death eaters. Her family’s been resisting for so long and they are the reason for the Voldemort’s outburst at the ministry. He's finally had enough of trying to gather them as his followers, and has decided to assemble them by force. Can’t you see, this is why Pansy is so upset.”
Ron looked at his best friends and didn’t know why but he felt worried for her. He felt something change inside of him when he saw her that day. She looked different. Helpless. Feelings began to build up within him. Feelings of protection.
“Although this house has more than enough rooms for each of you personally, we figure sticking together is more prudent for the time being. More safe.” they all got up, “You will find sleeping arrangements in the living room you were in earlier. We will be staying in the next room, taking shifts on guard duty.” Lupin walked to Snape as Harry, Hermione and Ron were leaving.
“Find Pansy.” He whispered to him and Ron’s eyes shot towards Snape, who puffed his chest out.
“Don’t hurt her.” Ron shot at him, not knowing how or why the words escaped his lips.
Snape and Lupin stared at him, as did Harry and Hermione.
“Oh, look, Lupin.” Snape said, eyeing Ron “Looks like you struck a nerve with your story after all.”
Ron glared at him and left the room, walking through the hall again, getting weird glances and stares from Hermione and Harry.
“Poor Pansy,” Hermione said to Harry, with a worried voice. “She must be blaming herself for everything.”
Ron pretended not to listen to her, he was already afraid enough for Pansy. They reached the living room to find the couch’s pushed to the outside of them room, making way for a handful of large cots. Fred, George and Ginny were already in the room, sitting by the fire, talking.
They joined them and before Ron sat down, they heard talking in the hallway.

CHAPTER THREE: DEFENDING THE MEEK

“Why must you treat me like a prisoner in my own house!” Pansy screamed in a high pitched voice at Snape, kicking him hard in the back of his leg in order to escape his grasp. He grunted and let go of her, holding onto his leg and pulling out his wand.
He shot a spell at her, making her fall down to the ground with a tiny scream of pain. Ron and Harry ran out, wands at the ready, pointing at Snape.
Snape chuckled at the sight of Harry and Ron as they knowingly defended her. Pansy looked up at them, finally seeing them in a new light. She didn't know what to feel, watching them stand up for her. Ron glanced down at her, flashing a half hearted smile. He wasn’t too sure why, but he extended a hand to help her up. Instead of taking his hand and getting up, she gave him a strange, confused look. Snape straightened up and pointed his wand back at them.
“No duelling in the house!” Arthur yelled as him and Sirius came into the entrance way from down a hall and grabbed Harry and Ron by their collars.
“Well tell him not to hurt her!” Ron spat at his father.
“Arthur, teach your boy proper respect.” Snape said angrily and left the room.

By this time Pansy had moved herself away from in between Snape and the boys. She was sitting against a wall, staring at Ron baffled, wondering why he was defending her. Lupin walked over to her, helping her up as Arthur escorted Harry and Ron back into the living room. Lupin brought her to the furthest bed and sat down on it along with her, asking if Snape hurt her. They began whispering. Ron was watching them from the corner of his eye. Pansy occasionally glanced at him full of questions. Lupin stood, ending their conversation while Pansy got under the covers, facing the opposite way.
“Everyone, in bed.” Lupin said making his way to the door. He turned to watch them get into bed and waited for the whispers to stop. Ginny and Hermione took beds closest to Pansy while Ron and the rest took the left over beds. Lupin left the room, turning the lights out.
Ron couldn’t find it in himself to lay down. His face was glued in Pansy’s direction. He sat up in his bed, his eyes burning towards her.
Pansy could almost feel his stare on her back, but she ignored the rest of the room and drifted off to sleep, having a too vivid dream of someone touching her face and stroking her hair, whispering words to her lovingly.
The crackle of the fire awakened and startled her. She figured she must have been asleep for a few hours. She looked around and saw Ron sitting up in his bed, looking back at her. She sat up, wonderinf if he had slept.
He pulled the blankets off of him and walked over to her, silently. Her heart started to pound faster.
“Are you.. Alright? You must have been dreaming” he asked standing by her bed, concerned.
She studied him, ignoring his words and ignoring the fact that he had been watching her while she slept.
“What’s with you?” She whispered in a rude tone.
“I’m sorry.” He apologized, knowing she was asking him about earlier that night, “Snape’s a creep and I can’t stand knowing he’s hurting anyone.” He knelt down, “Honestly, Pansy…” He said, looking in her eyes.
The way he looked at her gave her a strange feeling. The way he said her name made her feel nervous. She had never heard his voice like this before, and she was feeling something new with him. Comfort.

“I don’t know what’s come over me.” He didn’t know why he was talking to her, but he liked her presence. “I want to protect you.” He told her, plainly.
She raised an eyebrow at him. “Did Potter put you up to this?” her voice raising as well.
“Sh,” He said, glancing over his shoulder. He looked back and smiled, “No.”
She tried as hard as she could to ignore the strange feeling she felt around him.
“Weasley, I think Snape maybe jinxed you or something.” She said, full of disbelief.
Ron stood up and smirked at her, letting out a soft chuckle.
“You can sleep. You don’t have to worry about anyone… hurting you.” He said. The words came out of him so confidently. Ron walked back to his bed and laid down, looking at the ceiling, feeling pleased with himself.
Pansy watched him return to his side of the room, still believing he wasn’t himself. She shook her head and went back to sleep, pushing Ron's words to the back of her mind.

Pansy awoke to find she was alone in the living room. The rest of the beds had disappeared. She figured everyone was probably in the dinning area for breakfast. She walked in and once again, just as the day before, everyone stared at her. She noticed there was an empty chair next to Ron with an empty plate. He obviously meant it for her. She glanced at him and then to Snape, feeling her focus shake. She felt her body flush with heat and couldn’t take in all of the stress at that moment so she turned around back out of the door as fast as she could. She climbed the stairs, lost in thoughts of all of the strange people in her house and the way they were acting. She missed her parents terribly. She went into her room and to the bathroom, showering, hoping all of her depression and fear would wash away as well.
Ron kept eating. He did mean the seat for her but knew she wouldn’t have taken it even if they were the last two people in the house.
She came out of the shower and sat on her bed, wrapped in a towel. She let her hair drip water onto the floor, carelessly.
She thought of yesterday, when her parents did not return home from work. And how the house became refuge for the Order…

FLASHBACK

A dozen owls flew in through her bedroom window at once, all clutching different color letters. Blocking the glare of the sunset from her eyes, she grabbed a red letter from a dark brown owl, who nudged its head on her hand looking for affection. She patted its head as she read the letter.


Miss Parkinson,

Terrible things are happening! The ministry is currently going under destruction by You-Know-Who and his followers. I am writing this quickly to tell you not to worry, an organization will be showing up at your manor, and taking refuge for their last safe house was also bombarded by death eaters. You and your parents are in grave danger. We know for a fact The Malfoy’s are here as well. All of them.



She didn’t finish reading that letter, and grabbed another.


Danger! Do not fret over the state of the ministry at this moment, Pansy. Things are not looking good, however your parents are here. He Who Must Not Be Named has taken a dozen or more workers with him. They are safe for now.



This one wasn’t signed at all. Before she could grab another, people started entering through her front door. She looked out the window, noticing them. She ran down the stairs, tears falling from her eyes.
“You must be Pansy.” A tall man said as a handful of people entered through the front door, “I am Kingsley Shacklebolt.” He informed her, “Protector of the Order Of The Phoenix.” He handed her a letter. She didn’t open it.
She recognized Lupin and Mad Eye Moody as Professors from Hogwarts. She wasn't too fond of Moody, but Lupin knew her well.
“Ah, Pansy.” Lupin greeted her. They began locking the door and placing protection charms all around the house. “I’ll explain everything.” Lupin told her, taking her up the stairs, into a hallway.
“We are a secret organization and your house has been chosen for new refuge, as dedicated by your parents.”
“M-My Parents?” She said, worried. He looked at the ground,
“This is not your fault. As you know, Voldemort has been after a handful of wizards for years.”
Her eyes widened, “He’s got them… He’s going to kill them!”
“No!” He tried to calm her. “Don’t think like that. That’s why we exist. Our organization takes immediate action dealing with his followers. It is necessary that we are here, and you are now under our protection.”
She took it all in, crying silently, worried. Just then Snape had entered the hall and looked at Pansy. She looked up at him, more frightened.
“Professor Snape will explain the rules to you..” Lupin said and left.
Snape approached her, explaining how she was not to leave.
She swore at him, “And how do you expect to keep me here?” She taunted. He took out his wand, “Pansy don’t test me.”
She stood, arms crossed. “You wouldn’t dare.”
“I have strict rules from your parents and they have given me permission to make sure they are enforced.”
She stared at his wand as he flicked it. She screamed.

FLASHFORWARD

She got up from her bed, drying off, thinking too much of the day before. She pulled on a pair of designer wizard jeans and a white tank top, letting her hair remain scraggy and half wet. She left her room and walked down the halls and stairs, trying to be unseen.
She managed to keep her hard exterior and not talk to anybody for the next three days. The order didn’t leave the house. They spent most of their time in the kitchen, planning. Harry and Hermione had convinced Ron to keep his speaking with Pansy private. He tried to talk to her more, but she kept disappearing, hiding from everybody.

Thanks a bunch guys! I know this story shows a whole other side to Ron, that is either buried wayyy deep, or doesn't exist at all! That's why I love it. Umm, just editing a bit on the next chapter. It does have a hint of muggle-ness in it and is a bit long.. But I don't think you'll mind a long chapter.
Thanks for your feedback!

Behind Her Mask Sa16 + || Ron Weasley & Pansy Parkinson || If You Just Realize Sa13+

CHAPTER FOUR: UNDERSTANDING

For the whole week, Pansy managed to avoid everyone and their confrontations, especially Harry Ron and Hermione‘s. She undoubtedly was questioning their actions and wondered how the three people she had been taught to hate while growing up were all of the sudden shielding her. It was true that she never did get to know them, and never planned on it, and she was realizing she knew nothing about them. She lingered on the thought that the Malfoy’s and her parents were wrong about Harry and anyone who associated with him. She had never asked herself this before, but she did now as she was starting to see the Order, and her old enemies through new light. She couldn’t explain to herself what she was feeling, particularity towards him. He was acting the strangest of them all. Every morning she would avoid breakfast and pretty much every meal they were eating. She would let herself into the kitchen way later in the day to quickly snack while the others were occupied. She’d hide out in her room while the Order were off searching and investigating.
Later that week, she made it to the kitchen after everyone had eaten breakfast, unseen and stared out the window. She grabbed an apple, having not eaten much since the arrival of her eccentric unwanted guests. She looked up to the sky, and started to sing lightly.
As if on cue, Harry Hermione and Ron entered the kitchen. She stopped singing.
“They’ve got you stalking me?” She laughed to herself. She looked over the hills to the only other visible house. Harry approached her, looking where she was looking, “Is that Malfoy’s?” He asked.
“Yeah.” She nodded. “They’ve got him as well.” She shook her head, “Good. Stupid bloke.”
It was true that everything changed between Pansy and Draco during the past year at school. They outgrew eachother. Draco had become more involed with the Dark Lord and his father. Pansy and her parents tried to evade them as much as possible.
Hermione laughed, “I never thought I’d hear you say that.”
Pansy turned around and looked at her, sort of smiling. “He deserves it.”
Ron was looking at her but she avoided his eyes, still not knowing what it was she felt for him.
“We..” Hermione said, looking down, “We know about your parents.” They all surrounded her.
She looked at Hermione, feeling anxious.
“We’re really sorry.” Harry told her.
Pansy finally built up courage and glanced at Ron, who was being silent. He was watching her, standing so casually, as if nothing happened between them. She wanted to roll her eyes and thought he was acting like the typical male. But maybe not talking to him was a better idea.
“They’ve got a great plan, the order..” Hermione said.
“They are blind. They can’t see what is going to happen.” Pansy said, turning back to the window and noticing storm clouds taking over.
Ron took a few steps and stood beside her. He was about to say something, or touch her shoulder, or.. Anything. He wanted to do so much, but Lupin broke his concentration.
“Pansy, can I see you for a minute?” He asked, standing in the door way, hands in his pockets.
Pansy looked at Ron, whose smile had faded because Lupin barged in. She walked past him and approached Lupin.
“We’re going out. We think we might know where Voldemort is hiding his victims. We need you to.. Entertain everyone. There must be something to do around here. None of you will be able to leave the house.” He told her, plainly. She nodded, regretting not running away sooner. He shot her a caring gaze and left the room. Lupin was a great wizard, and Pansy held respect for him ever since she met him at Hogwarts.
Pansy took a deep breath.
“C’mon..” She muttered to Harry Ron and Hermione, who were obviously listening to what Lupin had told her. They followed her down another hall in the gigantic house they never ventured down before. Lupin left the house, broomsticks in hand, with everybody except Mrs. Weasley and the kids. They were well protected by charms.
Mrs. Weasley and everyone else started to follow Pansy as well. She led them through the house, and opened a glass door. Inside was a grand pool with two hot tubs. There was a waterfall, flowing into the pool and it looked as if it was coming from nowhere, magically standing on its own. Everyone entered, amazed.
“How do you live like this?” Ginny asked.
Pansy shrugged, “You get used to it. There’s suits and towels in the change rooms.” She told them and everyone took off without words.
“This is perfect, Pansy.” Said Mrs. Weasley, beaming at the room as well. She went and sat down dipping her feet in the hot tub.
Ron watched everyone leave. Finally, he had a moment with Pansy. She turned to find him staring at her. She put her hands in her back pockets.
“What?” She said, noticing his grin. He wasn’t gawking at the room like everybody else. His eyes were locked on her.
“You’re really great, you know.” He said.
He was doing it again. His mood swings were making Pansy’s head spin. He was back to the man she didn’t know.
“I’m.. great?” She questioned and laughed.
“I mean you’re..” Come on Ron, beautiful, amazing, incredible.. All these things he wanted to tell her but they wouldn’t come out.
She waited for him to finish.
“Aren’t you going in?” He changed subjects, sighing.
“Oh.” Pansy looked at the pool, “No..” She tried to make everybody else happy, forgetting about herself. She felt exhausted with worry and stress, she didn’t feel like there was any time set aside for her. But he made her feel different.
“Come on.” He flashed her a brilliant smile. “Relax a bit.” He walked past her, nudging her shoulder with his arm. He disappeared into the boys change room after Fred and George.
She shook her head, wondering what he was up to. She went into the girls change room and put on a red string bikini.
“Pansy, these are all designer..” Ginny said in awe, wearing a blue tankini. She was staring at the shelves of unworn swim suits with designer labels.
“Yeah, so?” She forced out a laugh, knowing the family Ginny came from.
“This is so cool!” She commented and left with Hermione, who opted for a black one piece.
Pansy studied herself in the mirror, noticing her bruises were now faded and she looked pale and stressed. She sighed, moving away from the mirror and put her hair in two braids. She left the room. Everyone else was already splashing around in the pool. Fred nudged George who looked at Pansy, wide mouthed. Ron noticed them and turned around in the water to stare at her too. .
“Oh, boys!” Ginny said, splashing them with water. Her and Hermione were swimming around the waterfall, amazed. Ron made his way over to the stairs that led into the water, where Pansy was getting in. As he started towards the stairs, he was getting into shallower water.
Pansy noticed him more as well. His hair was wet and he looked playful. She had no idea that under the loose fitting Hogwarts uniform was a well built man. She couldn’t help but stare for a moment. She blushed as Ron caught her staring and he let out a huff of laughter.
“There you go.” He said, happy at the fact she was closer to relaxing. He watched her get into the water. He leaned down, emerging his body in the water, following her as she went deeper.
“Why are you acting like this?” She finally asked him, reaching the middle of the pool. The water reached above her ribs. She body felt soothed, except for the fact she confronted him.
“Acting like what?” He played around.
“So..” She stopped to think. “Un-Gryffindor-ish.” She laughed at her made up word.
Ron stood, the water now floating just under his chest. He looked her in the eyes, longing for her. His feelings were now evident to him. He cared about Pansy. The feeling that was growing in him was love. And the more he was around her, the more it grew.
“Like I said..” He approached her, getting close.
Harry nudged Hermione and they both looked at Ron. They exchanged grins.
Ron brought his hand up out of the water and placed it fondly on Pansy’s face.
“I want to protect you from everyone and everything that gets in your way.”
Ron didn’t care that the pool was filled with other people, or that his mother was on the other side of the room probably watching him. All he could see was Pansy. She was all that mattered to him.
Her eyes fluttered as she sighed. Wow.. She thought to herself. She had never heard such amazing words being said to her before. He said them in such a way that she could hear music in her head. Her whole body started to feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Fred and George snuck up behind Ron and without warning, pulled him down under the water, breaking the moment. Pansy laughed as Ron came back up, looking angry and started chasing his brothers around the pool.
Pansy got up and joined Mrs. Weasley in the hot tub.
“I hope everything is going okay..” She said to Molly, looking out the windows to the sky, concerned about the order.
Molly was beaming at her, “Don’t fret dear.” She told her, “The members of the Order are strong. They can face anything.”
“.. I’m so afraid.” She admitted to her, “I don’t want anybody getting hurt because of me.”
“This is not because of you, Pansy. You need to listen to us when we tell you nothing is your fault. If you can’t believe us..” She said and looked at Ron, “Believe him.”
Pansy looked at Ron who was still fighting off Fred. She smiled.
“He’s taken by you, Pansy.”
Pansy looked at her, feeling awkward. “I don’t think so. He’s probably just being nice.”
“I know my own son.” She said. “And why wouldn’t he be? You are smart and beautiful.. You have a good heart.” She then left the hot tub.
Pansy remained in it, looking at Ron, watching him. Mrs. Weasley’s words didn’t leave her mind. She felt as if she could see through Pansy to her deepest darkest inside and know everything about her, her fears and her dreams. Pansy felt that Mrs. Weasley could tell Pansy what she was feeling, even if she didn’t understand it herself.

Hermione and Ginny had gotten out of the pool and were headed for the sauna room they had just noticed. It was glass as well, but it was opaque to anybody on the outside. Nobody could see past the steam until they were inside. Pansy got out and joined them. The room was fair sized, and could probably fit twenty people. There were three different levels of wooden benches all around it, different heights. The steam appeared to be coming out of nowhere, by magic. She shut the door behind her, “Look, guys.” She climbed onto the top bench in the sauna opposite of them, feeling the heat hit her body. “I owe you an apology. Especially you, Hermione. For the way that I… And Draco have been acting.”
“Pansy, thank you.” Hermione said, accepting.
They flashed smiles at each other.
“So, what’s the deal between you and.. Harry,” Pansy asked, finding it difficult to say Harry instead of Potter. Hermione’s head bowed, she hid a smile.
“We’re.. friends.” She said and Ginny laughed, “Don’t pull that! I saw you snogging two days ago!”
Pansy’s eyes widened as Hermione laughed, not admitting to anything.
“Oh yeah, well, it looks like Ron’s got a thing for you, Pansy.” Hermione said, changing the focus to her, still giggling.
Pansy stopped. She thought about Ron. She felt her face blush and she was still unsure why.
“Yeah, it’s crazy.” Ginny said, leaning back. “I've never seen him act that way.”
The door opened, making them all jump. Ron and Harry walked in casually.
“Who act what way?” Ron questioned their conversation. Hermione and Ginny laughed, looking at each other. Pansy kept quiet, giving them warning glares, teasingly.

“I hate these things.” Harry said, taking off his glasses, which were now all foggy. “How can you breathe?”
Hermione got up to leave, “Yeah. I think I’m done in here.” She approached Harry. Pansy swore she saw Harry's arm go around her waist for a moment. Hermione then laughed at something Harry had whispered to her.

"Yeah.. It‘s really heating up in here.” Ginny said, snickering. She meant that as an innuendo towards Pansy and Ron, not just the temperature in the room. Her and Hermione laughed on the way out, leaving Pansy with Ron alone in the room.
“They’re crazy.” Pansy said, laying down on the top bench she was sitting on. Ron walked over to her and sat on the bench just below her, putting his arm on the bench she was on. She turned her head towards him, getting a strange feeling in her stomach again from being so close to him.

They seemed to stare at one another for hours, even though it was literally seconds before Ron spoke, “Can I tell you something?” He asked, looking at her and listening to the sizzling sound the water made dripping off his body onto the floor of the sauna. Her heart beat faster, looking into his eyes and she noticed the smile spreading across his face. She nodded, nervously.

“You are so…” His hand reached over her and he moved a strand of her hair away from her face, “Beautiful.”
She watched him speak, her head feeling dizzy. This was unreal. It was so unlike him.
“Ron..” She whispered in a sigh. The way he spoke to her made her believe every word coming out of his mouth. The way he stared at her made her feel like he was peering into her soul, trying to understand everything about her.

He leaned towards her, his lips closing in on hers. She breathed lightly and felt his face nearing in. Without resisting or struggle, she closed her eyes as he pressed his lips against hers. He lingered on her lips for a long moment and then backed away slowly, meaning every notion. Neither of them breathed. She opened her eyes to find him opening his. Both of their hearts were pounding. There was no describing what Pansy felt in that moment, other than pure bliss. In that moment she understood. She understood her feelings for him, and the whole messed up world seemed to make complete sense.

There was a loud knock on the sauna door and Fred poked his head in, “Oi! Better get out here now!” He said, with emphasis and worry. Ron and Pansy fumbled, slowly standing and getting up and out of the sauna.
