Someone New
Ch. 2 Potion Partners
The next day after Ron and Pansy's weird encounter in the hall on the way to Potions class, things felt a little weird. Ron kept wondering why he couldn't stop glancing over at Pansy in the Great Hall, and why he was thinking so much about her.
Pansy went to Potions class expecting the same old thing, but today was a little different. Instead of picking there own partners to work with. Professor Snape had a list of partners that he had made. As he called out the names "Longbottom and Granger." "Finnegan and Brown." "Malfoy and Potter" She wasn't really thinking about who she would be pared up with, more wondering about how Draco and Harry were ever going to get along. And then she heard her name "Parkinson and Weasley." Surprised she scanned the room to find Ron gathering his books and heading over to her table with a calm but uneasy look on his face.
How would she be mean to him after she was nice the day before, she thought. And all the Slytherins there was not making her decision to be nice or not any easier. Pansy decided to tough it out and whatever happened, happened.
Ron sat down quietly as did the rest of the class and listened to snapes instructions.
"This will be a Three Week Project, you will have to work with your partner to invent a new potion or come up with something that's a little remotely to one." Pansy could here groans through out the classroom. "Let me finish!" Snape said hastily "I'm not expecting you all to find a cure to a disease, just to experiment with different things and don't forget a report with it, Now get to work."
As soon as Snape finished Pansy got out a piece of parchment and grabbed her Quill. Without looking up at Ron she asked, "Have any ideas?"
"Umm, not really." Ron replied. Pansy then looked to fined Ron looking her strait in the eyes, he quickly looked away once he noticed what he had been doing.
"Ok, well I think I have a good idea" pansy said, and she began to explain her idea.
(A few minutes later) "That's a great idea." Said Ron "I had no idea that you were that smart."
Very flattered pansy smiled and said "Well Mr. Weasley there's a lot of things you don't know about me." "Oh please." said Ron in a sarcastic sophisticated way, "Call me Ronald." They both laughed . "Class Dismissed!" yelled Professor Snape.
Walking Back to the Slytherin Common room Pansy noticed that her books looked more Scraggily than usual. Examining them she noticed that they weren't hers at all, she thought that her and Ron must have accidentally switched there books in Potions class. Thinking that Ron would want to switch them back as soon as possible, later that night she brought them with her to dinner in The Great Hall.
Waiting Patiently for Ron to show, Pansy poked away and her half eaten dinner and listened to Draco drab on about how it was so unfair that he had to partnered with "Potter".
"And you getting partnered with Weasley!, My father will definitely here about this." he said.
"Oh grow up Draco!." said pansy very irritated. "Well Well ,Well you didn't seem to be very upset when you got partnered with him, its almost as if you like him now." he said nastily "After all he is carrying your books." "That was an Honest mistake, they got switched Draco." "Look there he is." she said pointing across The Great Hall "I'll go give them to him right now."
Pansy walked over to the Gryffindor table. The closer she got the more eyes she could feel on her, watching her, as if she was doing something wrong.
"Umm Ron." As she said these words it felt like the whole Gryffindor table was staring at her. "I have your books." she said only looking at him, afraid to look at the expressions of his friends faces.
"Oh yeah, I have yours too." he said Then looked down at his plate as if something was wrong. "What?" said Pansy "I kind of left them in my room, sorry." he said "Oh that's ok, don't fret." She said Forgetting that all of the Gryffindors and half the Slytherin tables were watching her.
"Meet me after dinner in the hall, and I can give them to you then. Ok?" he said "Ok, see you then, Ronald." She gave a quick smile and walked off.
Ron watched her as she walked off with a slight smile on his face. He then turned to find Harry and Hermione starring at him with confused looks on there faces. "Ronald?!?" said Harry "What? Its my isn't it." said Ron as they all laughed.
