Stupid Boy
For delete-the-girl or Marisa, for her b'day! Happy Belated Birthday miss, and hope you enjoy this :)
It's not like she cares- at least that's what she's been trying to tell herself. Pansy Parkinson wasn't the type of girl to care about such fickle things like romantic relationships being shot to hell, she didn't hole up in bed and cry her eyes out until her face was red and stung. No, a Parkinson didn't do any of those things. A Parkinson was strong, physically and emotionally. A Parkinson didn't weep just because her relationship with a Weasley had ended without just cause. No, a Parkinson didn't care about anything of the sort, and Pansy was nothing but a Parkinson.
She really does do a good job of convincing herself that she doesn't care, smothering her thoughts and emotions into charity work with Narcissa, and coffee dates with Daphne. It's hard at first, but slowly, gradually, she gets over one Ronald Weasley, the man she should have never been involved with in the first place. It honestly made no sense, a Parkinson and a Weasley, but Pansy knew that often the best things in life never made any sense. And they'd had a good time, a good run during their whole relationship. Despite everything, they had been in love, and that counted for something.
To her, at least.
Ron had thrown away their love, although shaky at times, just so the wizarding world would see him in a better light. Even though he had been one-third of the trio that had saved the world from Voldemort's wrath, ever since he had asked Pansy out, the world had been seeing him much more harshly than ever. He was supposed to be dating Hermione, that she knew, it was expected of them both. What the world didn't know was that Pansy was that horrible, she loved Ron, and Hermione view him as nothing more then a brother, being so much more in love with Draco then she would ever be with Ron.
But Ron didn't take heed of this, he just left her waiting at their favourite resturant one night, surrounded by the pitiful glances and the quiet murmurs. It hadn't taken her long to figure how that she, Pansy freaking Parkinson, had been stood up, and that the relationship that she thought would last forever in bliss wasn't what she thought it had been. Ron broke up with her the next morning via owl mail (she had nearly kill the owl that had brought her the news, it had never been said that she wasn't violent), which she percieved as the cowardly way of telling her that although he loved her, the way the world viewed him was more important.
It was stupid, honestly, the whole thing.
Ronald Weasley was just a stupid boy at best, and Parkinson's didn't mess about with stupid boys.
