Chapter 2

It was a disparate group that sat on the Hogwarts lawn. Three girls and one boy. Mandy looked around at them. One girl with unnaturally red hair and a light dress. Herself and another girls with black hair, hers was hair swept over in a huge parting she was dressed in a leather jacket and jeans, the other with a short bob in her school uniform robes. The boy, today, had decided to go with blond hair but was still unfortunately wearing it in a mullet. He was dressed mostly in military surplus.

The majority of the group shared a common characteristic. Three of them she included seemed to be caught up in their thoughts and not focused on the here and now.

Lisa looked around the group. Her eyes finally settling on the girl with the severe bob. "Pansy darling, be a dear and show Harry your tits."

Mandy turned to her so suddenly there was a chance she would be suffering from whiplash. Pansy's eyes narrowed. "Fuck off Lisa. Aren't your tits enough for him?" Pansy glanced towards Mandy as she finished speaking.

Mandy leaned in and offered a quick peck on her cheek. "Well done love, that was proper swearing not a single mention of Merlin." She'd been trying to get Pansy to speak normally for ages. Still what was Lisa playing at? Mandy then turned to Lisa. "What the fuck are you up to, Lisa?"

"You three are all being distant and moody. When it's just me and Harry I usually give him a quick flash. It's hard for him to be moody when I'm jiggling in front of him. However I had to get the three of you from introspection city. So while not subtle it worked. So does anyone want to talk about it?"

Pansy was still holding Lisa in a hard stare. "If you must know, little miss flippant, my parents have written to me asking if I want to confirm or deny rumours they have heard. I've written two completely different drafts of the letter, the only thing they have in common is that in both of them I confirm I have a girlfriend." She took Mandy's hand fiercely as she spoke. "and I'll face any consequence rather than give her up."

Lisa slightly deflated, looking to Mandy for support.

"While I'm not as worried, I've written to my parents too." Mandy confessed suddenly proud of her girlfriends courage.

"They should be Ok shouldn't they?"

"Well I know they have some friends who are gay, so they are not prejudiced in general but how they will react in this specific case I don't know. I know my mum always jokes about being a gran so she might be disappointed."

"There has to be a magical solution to that."

Mandy's felt her brow furrow as she tried to work out what Lisa was suggesting. "What do you mean?"

"Well if I can take a potion that can give me a whole new body for an hour then, when you get to that stage, surely Pansy can take a potion that gives her a dick for long enough to knock you up."

Mandy tried to formulate an answer to that.

Lisa looked round at the shocked faces of her friends. Before turning to Harry. "I went too far again didn't I?"

Harry held his thumb and first finger up, as if to measure two inches. "Just a touch."

"Go on Harry, spill why were you all moody again."

"Compared to some people with real issues it seems childish."

Mandy smiled reassuringly at him. "Honestly I could live with some childishness about now."

"I was arguing with Ron and Hermione again. Everytime I do something I wouldn't have done last year it starts again. So turning my hair blond was the start but we revisited our greatest hits."

Mandy looked on quizzically and Pansy pretended to be indifferent but was taking in every word.

"So," said Lisa. "Me, having a mind of your own, what else?"

"Not worshiping the headmaster and poor Ginny, plus we had a new entry." Harry wasn't keeping the bitterness from his voice.

"Ginny?" Mandy was confused. What was the wrong with the youngest Weasley.

"Somehow getting engaged to Lisa is classified as being unfaithful to Ginny. It was only last year that she actually spoke to me. Apparently I didn't realise that meant we were in a relationship."

"So what was the new entry?" Lisa had a dangerous tone to her voice."

"Pansy." This caused the dark haired girl to focus on him intently.

"You argued with Weasley and Granger over me?"

"Apparently, the fact I'm engaged to Lisa whose best friend is Mandy, who is now dating you means that everything that's happened is all your fault and is some sort of Slytherin plot and Pansy is just waiting to take me to Voldemort. To be honest I didn't argue. I just told Ron he was batshit insane and left at that point. I really need to lose Gryffindor some points we're almost in positive numbers." He looked hopefully at Lisa.

"I am not fucking you on the teachers table invisibility cloak or not. Stop asking."

"It was your idea."

"It was a joke." Lisa emphasized each word and Harry had the sense to not push any further.

Mandy spoke into the silence. "So who is winning the house cup this year? Hufflepuff or Slytherin?"

"I'd place quite a large bet on Hufflepuff myself." Pansy allowed a smile to play across her face. "There is a limit to how many house points any one prefect can deduct. I haven't even tried. I have however written McGonagall a rather large report. I'm guessing this will be the most times she's seen the phrase "fucking dyke" If she follows my recommendation of five points per usage then Ravenclaw will be in a firm second place. I don't think even Tracey has enough breath to get us into fourth. What was that wheel board thing that Filch confiscated off you?"

"Skate board. Man it was fun to try to get down the moving staircases on it. Damn Filch."

"You lost that in your first week, how are Gryffindor so far behind Ravenclaw? You can't be caught together that many times. Or you'd have lost the same number of points."

"Well basically I just don't give a fuck." Harry answered Mandy's question. "It was pointed out to me that Dumbledore need me here, so short of me using the killing curse he won't expel me. House points only matter if you care about them. I've stopped going to detentions so all they do is take off more points. If Lisa and I are caught together I let her use my invisibility cloak they might expel her, although if she goes I go."

"I don't use the cloak all the time. Honestly I love seeing Hermione's face when she catches us in states of undress. She does a fantastic McGonagall impression. Pursed lips and everything."

They all laughed at that. Even Pansy enjoyed a joke at Hermione's expense.

"My fiancée the exhibitionist." Harry said. Turning to Pansy and Mandy.

"I'm not an exhibitionist. I don't actually do it for the thrill of being caught, it's just after being caught in the act by my mum nothing can ever embarrass me again."

. Lisa turned to Pansy and Mandy. "Do you guys have any plans for the next Hogsmede weekend? We're going to do something not actually against the rules but is definitely not publicised."

Pansy watched Lisa intently while Mandy asked the question. "What are you planning and how much trouble will we get into?"

"As sixth years there is no requirement for us to stay on Hogsmede on free weekends. I've been reading the rules. You have to inform a senior member of staff so I'll tell Flitwick but once off school grounds we're catching the knight bus and heading into York for the weekend. We'll be back five on Sunday. Do you fancy it Pansy? You'll have to live muggle for the weekend and we'll have to get you into real clothes not that one size fits all sack."

Pansy looked at Mandy who was excited at the idea. "We'll talk about it before making a decision. I'll also want to see where you came across this exception to the rules."

Lisa smiled she knew she had them. It would be an eye opening weekend for Pansy and would hopefully pull her out of her immediate concerns.

Mandy had walked Pansy to the common room but Lisa let it be known in no uncertain terms she was to go elsewhere.

It hadn't taken much effort for Lisa to walk Pansy through to her dorm room. She was a sixth year and she was dating Harry Potter, she'd gained a reputation for not caring about the rules and no one was going to intimidate her.

"Right Pansy, let's see what we're working with. Take the sack off."

The normally strong and spikey Slytherin suddenly looked shy and vulnerable. "You're sure Mandy won't come in?" She had lifted her robe so her knees were showing but stopped there twisting in embarrassment.

"Not if she knows what's good for her. I know you guys are taking it slow but I'd have thought she'd have seen you undressed by now."

Lisa knew from many conversations that the two girls hadn't done much more than kiss. They'd reached a point and both seemed scared to push further.

Pansy removed her robe and stood embarrassed in just her knickers in front of Lisa.

"Right, you're roughly the same size as me although you'll need a bra to wear normal clothing and tights, your legs are so white I need sunglasses. First things first try this."

Lisa threw the girl her favourite summer dress, that was white with flowers.

"We have a fit but that colour does nothing for you." Taking her wand she cast temporary transfiguration spells, first changing the colour then turning the thin straps into a full shoulder and short sleeves. "You're a little bony up there, probably because you summon rather than pick things up. Pad, what do you think?"

Padma had come over to watch as Lisa altered the dress around Pansy. "You get me some material and I can have that done by Friday. But you'll need to supply a bra and tights. I'd get her some stripped ones and a plain black. As dark as you can."

"I should be able to sort that out. Right Pansy let's get you back into that sack of yours before Mandy gets back here and gets a sight of your perky breasts."

Pansy quickly changed outfits and Lisa just as quickly cast a finite to return her dress to normal. Once Pansy was back in her school robes she spoke. "Do you have to be so rude all the time?"

Lisa stepped close to Pansy whose confidence had returned with her robe. "I do actually. I'm only rude with my friends and only to their faces. So the ruder I am sweetie then the more comfortable I am with you and the more I like you." Lisa spoke low so only Pansy would hear her. "You are making my best friend happy and so I'm happy for you." Lisa's voice dropped even lower. "Turns out my parents are away this weekend, so think about where you want to sleep because one of your options will be in a double bed with Mandy. I know you've been going slow but sleeping together could just be that, not sex just sleeping. I'll certainly be sleeping with Harry and using silencing charms too so I'll never know what you decide unless you tell me."

Pansy had paled slightly.

"Talk it over with Mandy. Less misunderstanding that way. Someone might feel offended if one of you wants one thing and the other something else." Lisa's serious expression slipped. "Or I might just get you both drunk and throw you and a tub of chocolate body paint in a room together and listen for squelching noises."

Saturday morning saw Mandy and Pansy waiting at the Hogwarts gates. Flying towards them at speed were Harry and Lisa sharing a broom as they neared Pansy stepped through the gates and stuck out her wand. The knight bus appeared with a bang allowing Harry and Lisa to fly straight onto it, Mandy jumped on as the last of the group and the bus disappeared with a bang.

They hopped off outside Lisa's house in York. The bus wasn't the same without Stan however much he irritated Lisa. They rushed in quickly as Pansy was still in school robes. Lisa hustled her upstairs leaving Mandy and Harry alone.

Harry headed to the kitchen and started to make drinks with the ease of someone in their home.

"You really spent the whole summer here didn't you? I'd struggle to be this casual in my parent's kitchen."

"After the first few days yeah, I shared cooking duties with Susan, Lisa's mum. Lisa did most of the washing up." An evil looked flashed over his face. "Lisa and I even fucked on the table a couple of times."

"Ewww too much information." Mandy shook her head. "I didn't know you last year have you always been like this or has something happened."

"If people keep piling shit on you either end up buried or you put up new shoots. There's a prophecy about me and Voldemort, its bullshit and open to interpretation but one of the things it says is that neither can live. Well I'm living, I've met Lisa and we're engaged. I can spend my life brooding about the future or I can live for now. Voldemort is coming for me, so far I've met him five times and won four, even on the fifth I walked away, well run, but he wasn't in the best of shape either. So I have a choice every day, worry and panic or have a lust for life. Every time I choose life, I defeat Voldemort and the prophecy a little more. Besides I'm still fairly quiet around most people but you and Lisa are so close you're almost sisters. So you're almost family and makes you fair game for messing with. Also Lisa wants me to keep you distracted while she plays dress up with Pansy."

Mandy took the offered mug of tea. "You're a complex person Harry, so is Lisa your manic pixie dream girl who taught you about having fun?"

"No, she just gave me another option to find it. I've always wanted a normal life, a girl friend and average teenage worries. It's everyone else who sees who sees the boy who lived. Sometimes I get down because I've got a zit not because I have to think of a new way to thwart a madman. So what were your dreams and don't forget I've seen your light reading. Did you want to be rescued by a handsome prince before you discovered you liked princesses?"

Mandy paused "No, I was always the rescuer, rescuing the prince, who come to think of it always acted like a Disney princess. I just think as a little kid I assumed it was always boys and girls, I didn't realise other options existed." She paused staring off into space. She leaned forward and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Good question. Y'know I think I've always been gay I'd just never realised it until recently. This isn't a phase or a fling it's who I am."

"Glad to know I haven't gone to this much effort for nothing." Pansy spoke from the kitchen doorway. She was dressed in what was effectively a T- shirt that came to her mid thighs over a pair of black and green striped leggings. While Mandy demonstrated her pleasure with Pansy's new look Lisa pushed past the two kissing girls, she took Harry's tea and slipped an arm round Harry's waist.

"Why isn't there music on?"

"I was thinking I could nip up and get my guitar."

Lisa took Harry's face in her hands and looked deeply into his eyes. "Harry I love you, I'm going to marry you and one day we'll have kids together but I'm not going to let you inflict your guitar playing on our friends."

Pansy still held Mandy close but the couple had stop kissing. "Potter, ouch. Sorry Harry plays a guitar." The ouch came as a result of Mandy pinching her.

"Oh no, he owns a guitar. If he practices he might be able to play soon. It's the fact he tries to sing we want to avoid."

Harry continued to pout as the girls laughed at him.

Once their drinks were finished they took a bus into the city centre. Pansy had one hand clenched around the down bar and held Mandy's with the other.

"You're hurting." It was about the fifth time Mandy had told her. The pure blood girl was not enjoying the bus journey and was relieved when they go off in the city centre. Harry and Lisa led the way pointing out various sights some historical some personnel. Lisa waved as they passed a tattoo studio. The receptionist waved back. Mandy was just enjoying walking hand in hand with Pansy marvelling that the girl would dress like this for her. It was obvious that everything was new and slightly confusing to Pansy. Mandy kept up a low dialogue but mostly she was just enjoying holding hands and actually being able to check out Pansy's figure in these clothes.

Lisa led them to a park in the shadow of the Minster, Mandy and Pansy sat back against some trees while Harry and Lisa headed off in separate directions.

Mandy leaned in and kissed Pansy. Pansy tensed as shadow passed over them as someone walked past but after a moment Mandy felt her relax into the kiss.

"Thank you." Mandy sighed it more than spoke. "I know going muggle isn't your favourite thing, yet her you are in sexy clothes in the middle of a muggle city."

"It wouldn't be something I'd normally do but I will to spend time with you. I'd could almost get used to these clothes if it wasn't for the bra. Is it really necessary?"

Mandy gave Pansy a long look. "I'd like to say no but if you take it off with a top that tight your nipples will be poking out. Not that I wouldn't enjoy the sight but then so would lots of other people."

Mandy could see Pansy think it through. "Maybe back at Lisa's I'll only have Potter to worry about then." Mandy poked Pansy in the ribs making her jump. "Stop doing that, at least I've stopped calling him scar head, I've spent six years with people who hate him. I'm civil and polite it's just hard to be friendly."

"Fair enough. Take off your bra and you'll have me to worry about as well."

"Well I'm not sleeping in it so get used to it."

Mandy felt a blush rise up her body. "About tonight." Her words were stopped by Pansy's on hers.

"We go to bed and cuddle, anything else that happens, happens. No plans, no promises except I won't leave you in the morning."

Mandy nodded but she felt a worry grip her heart. Like a shadow in front of the sun. Just then Lisa's shadow fell across them.

"Strongbow?" Lisa asked.

Mandy took two cans passing one to Pansy. Showing her how to hook a nail under the ring pull and open it. She placed the ring pull from Pansy's can on her finger. "Look Lisa you're not the only one to get engaged indecently fast."

Lisa took a long pull on her can and belched.

"I can see what Harry finds so romantic about you." As she spoke Harry came into view with a carrier bag giving off a heat haze. He sat down on the grass besides Lisa and started to pass out paper wrapped packages. He handed one to Lisa and placed another besides himself he then passed one to Mandy and then Pansy. "I didn't know what you liked and guessed that this would be Pansy's first time with chip shop chips so I got gravy, curry and mushy peas in tubs for you two." So saying he handed over three smaller packages then threw the bag at Mandy's feet. "Vinegar and tomato sauce in the bag."

Mandy unwrapped her chips which were in a polystyrene try and liberally poured over half the curry. "I'd dip a chip in each one before you copy me."

From Pansy's expression it was clear she wasn't a fan of the mushy peas but was happy to dip into both the curry and the gravy. The Strongbow helped them all to relax and conversations flowed much easier.

Pansy reached for her second can and Mandy put her hand on hers and shook her head. The pure blood girl was unused to drinking and Mandy could sense the alcohol lowering her defences.

She turned to Lisa so much time did you spend at the tattoo parlour for them to way at you two as you pass?"

"Enough. My Ankh was two sessions. Harry did most of his in one but they went on for ages."

"Do they hurt?" It was the question she really wanted to know.

"Yes."

"No." Lisa and Harry answered simultaneously with contradictory answers.

"Ignore him, his pain threshold is somewhat higher than mere mortals. So what were you thinking of getting down?"

Mandy was a little annoyed she'd been that obvious, that was the problem with friends who knew you so well. "Maybe some Pansy's I haven't decided where though." Mandy glanced over to Pansy whose eyes had opened wide with surprise.

"Really? You know I don't think I'd reciprocate. Tattoos aren't really a part of wizarding culture, apart from these two. Pansy gestured to Harry and Lisa. "The only person I know with a tattoo has a skull and a snake on his arm. Bloody ugly and terrifying thing."

"It was only a matter of time for Draco to get the Dark Mark." Harry remarked.

"Yes, that's why I've been trying to keep my distance since fourth year."

"Anyway." Mandy interjected. "I wouldn't expect you to do the same, just come and hold my hand while I do."

"You need something to prove you're over eighteen. You'll also want to book an appointment. There are places that won't ask your age and you can get it done without an appointment. I'd avoid those sort of places. You want a good artist but you also want someone clean who takes what they're doing seriously. You can pick up diseases at those places that will kill you."

"So how did you two get yours done if you have to be eighteen?"

"You of all people should know how easy it is to transfigure text. I altered my date of birth in my passport."

Mandy nodded her head in understanding, running through what she would need to get to have some pansy flowers on her arms. They sat and chatted for a while but clouds drifted in front of the sun.

Lisa led them into the city centre, they avoided the tourist spots like Yorvik and the museums and headed to the independent boutiques and record stores. Mandy wished she'd brought more cash. The alternative scene had a larger presence in York than in Stoke and she could have spent her cash ten times over. Mandy also had to spend a lot of time guiding Pansy around. The girl had no idea of traffic, and automatic doors terrified her. Still Mandy was not sorry that she had to hold Pansy hand and sometime had to guide her with her arm around her waist.

They eventually headed back to the bus station foosore and poorer. Mandy collapsed onto Lisa sofa once they returned to her house. She pulled Pansy down onto her knee. "You were fantastic today love you put up with a lot that you'd never done before."

"It was actually quite fun. You can just never tell anyone that. Although I still don't understand how those doors work."

"Honestly neither do. It's technology though not magic."

Lisa wandered in with a handful of fast-food leaflets in one hand and some CD's in the other. "I was thinking pizza for tonight."

"That, unlike your taste in music is a wonderful idea."

"What's wrong with her taste in music?" Harry asked carrying four Steaming mugs into the room.

"I know worse but Lisa are any of those albums you've brought in less than ten years old?"

"No, and I also know that you want to put the CD's you've bought on and we will later but it's hard to talk over the type of things you listen to." With that Lisa put Parallel Lines into the CD player.

They talked late into the evening, Harry and Lisa on one sofa and her and Pansy snuggled up together on another like it was the most natural thing in the world. She conceded Lisa's point that it was hard to talk over The Nefilim and Rubicon was disappointing too. She was losing the battle to stop yawning as the clock reached eleven thirty and she led Pansy off to Lisa's bedroom. Harry and Lisa headed for her parents room.

The bedroom door was firmly closed behind them and it was just her and Pansy. The Raven haired girl was watching her intently and Mandy wished she'd drunk more as her nervousness overtook. Swallowing her fears she pulled her shirt over her head and reached behind to unfasten her bra. She had Pansy's full attention now. She swallowed and hoped that her tongue would unstick from her mouth. She undid her bra and left it fall down her arms. She wasn't stripping, she was just undressing for bed, there was another girl present but how often did that happen in Ravenclaw?

"You're beautiful." There was an unguarded and uncharacteristic smile on Pansy face.

Mandy let out a breath she hadn't known she'd be holding. "Are you going to undress?"

"Honestly Lisa helped me into most of this. I think I'm going to need help taking it off." Pansy stood and pulled her tight dress off. Leaving herself in bra and leggings. "Will you help undress me?"

Mandy knew her hands were trembling as she stepping close to Pansy pulling her into a kiss before reaching behind and undoing the clasp on her bra.

The tension dissipated as she tried to remove her leggings. She hooked her fingers inside Pansy's legging and briefs and slowly began to peel them down. It soon turned into a tug of war between the two girls. Mandy was finally victorious holding Pansy's clothing in her hand and gazing down at the naked girl on the bed. She quickly removed her last item of clothing. Mandy resisted the urge to cover herself as Pansy's eyes greedily took in her naked body. It was obvious that they were both in agreement but it was her that verbalised it.

"Let's not bother with night clothes."

Later as they lay wrapped in each other's arms, Pansy gently sleeping, Mandy was uncertain if she could say they had made love but had certainly put to death the reluctance to not go further than kissing. Her fingers were gloriously sticky from when she'd brought her girlfriend, her lover to orgasm. There was a part of her that knew that Pansy was going to tease her over her exclamations, possibly Harry and Lisa depending how loudly she had shouted Sweet bibbling Jebus. It was all worth it Pansy Parkinson was her girlfriend and everything was fine.

They were awoken by a hooting at the window. Mandy looked blearily around adapted to a world where the sun was shining and she woke up naked with another girl in her bed. Pansy was more alert than she was and peeked through the curtain. All Mandy could think about was the naked bum in front of her.

Pansy's words brought her fully awake. "It's my father's owl with a letter."

Pansy pulled the duvet from the bed leaving Mandy naked. She opened the curtains and window taking the rolled up parchment. Mandy could feel Pansy's tension as she unrolled the letter. Tension that transformed to rage as she read.

"Those…those…fucking…" Words seemed to be beyond her and Mandy didn't know what to say, whether to try to calm her or sympathise.

"Quickly read it. I need to get out, to get some air. To scream before I explode."

Mandy took the letter written in elegant copper plate that she would have killed to write like.

To our esteemed daughter.

We thank you for your honesty in your most recent correspondence and confirmation of rumours that had been laid before us. We regret that circumstances have moved to the point that a reconciliation with the Malfoy family is unlikely. However considering the falling of Lucius in society this may be a positive in the long term.

There is one item that we are distressed that you omitted. Your current paramour, we are reliably informed is closely acquainted with Lisa Turpin. Miss Turpin will be the next Lady Black. It is unclear at the moment how Harry Potter became the heir of the man who wanted to kill him but the chamber of records show he is the current head of House Black. Taking into account his actions since entering Hogwarts and his fiancées family heritage, they will both be unaware of the implications of these facts.

We urge you then to use your connections and influence to advise this newly ennobled couple and advance the fortunes of the Parkinson.

Mandy skimmed over the signatures and looked up at Pansy almost fully dressed and quietly raging.

"Not one word about me. At this point I'd prefer abuse and being disowned at least that would be about me, not this. Oh dear we can't whore you to Draco, have you thought about toadying up to Potter? Fuck them."

"What are you going to do?"

"Right now I need to scream before I have a bout of accidental magic which would be embarrassing. You need to show that to Lisa and Harry."

Mandy blinked. "I do?"

"I can't. I can't face them. Lisa has been nothing but a friend to me since we got together. Harry has been as polite as possible considering our history but Lisa has taken me into her house, fed me and dressed me. My family want me to scheme and manipulate her. Show her the letter, if she chooses to let me back into her house after she's seen it then it will be her choice. I will not be the person my parents want me to be. I will not be the person Weasley warned Harry about. Now take them that letter before I break something."

Mandy quickly pulled on fresh underwear and yesterday's clothes then headed for Lisa's bedroom. She paused and knocked.

"Lisa? It's me, I need to come in."

"Can it wait?" came a muffled voice from behind the door.

"No."

There was a creaking of springs on the bed. "Come in."

Harry and Lisa where in bed together. All she could see. Of Harry was his neck and head. Lisa sat slightly higher but only her shoulders showed. She was painfully aware that her friends were naked before her.

"Pansy's parents wrote back. You need to read it." She held the letter out.

Confusion was evident on both their faces.

"You'll understand when you've read it. It was Pansy's idea. I've got to go before she breaks something. She wants to walk and vent."

Lisa took the letter confirming Mandy's suspicion about clothing on her top half. She then gave Mandy directions to the local park. Before she hurried down to find Pansy waiting at the front gate.

She directed Pansy but she raged on ahead. Sometimes swearing, others dashing a tear from her eye. The indifference that her parents had shown her was hurting her and it was all Mandy could do not to try and pull the girl into a hug. In fact she had tried but Pansy had rebuffed her. "Not till I've worked out the anger. I don't want you to be the thing I break."

They paused at the edge of a concrete structure Mandy knew it was for skate boarders but its purpose eluded Pansy. She was still muttering about her fucking parents but was losing volume and passion then it was clear she had seen something. Mandy turned to follow Pansy's stare. Coming towards them where Harry and Lisa.

For the first time Mandy understood all the stories she'd heard about Harry Potter. Why the Dark Lord wanted him dead. He didn't radiate power but he was the very definition of implacable. His face was set, his great coat streamed behind him. Whatever he set out to do he would. He might be defeated but not deterred.

He headed straight for Pansy and Mandy suddenly feared for her girlfriend she reached into her inside pocket for her wand.

Then she saw a sight that made her question her very sanity. Harry Potter pulled Pansy Parkinson into a hug and the Slytherin girl broke down in tears as he held her.

A.N.

Yes, there is going to be a chapter three. No, I've no idea how long this will go on for.

Reviews.

I originally put chapter one up in my anthology collection but removed it when I realised it was getting a sequel. While it was there it had plenty of hits but not a single review. That was a new experience. Not getting any reviews. If I didn't want reviews I'd put it on my Deviant art profile

Look on it as a social contract. You get something to read. I get my fragile ego fed.

Thanks.

Sweet bibbling Jebus. I assume

you read "My Life as a background Slytherin." If not I want eight inches off you on why you are missing this piece of fandom.

Oh yeah Pansy.
