Chapter 11: Pansy
AN: I'm trying to keep my promise of finishing this before the holidays end. However, it seems I can't. I'll just post what I can. I'll keep you posted dear readers. =)
Ron is still an ass. I don't hate him. But I hate his character here. Not good enough for our dear Hermione, right? Geez. Draco will be here soon. Of course, my beloved Draco. *sigh*
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Just this plot. =P
So does she know I've been in that bed before? A thousand count, and not a single threaded truth. If I was just another girl, then I'm ashamed to say that I'm not over you. There's one thing I need to know. So call me, when you're not so busy just thinking of yourself. Do you ever think of me, when you lie? Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies. And I knew better, than to look in your eyes. They only pretend, you will be mine. And you know how you made me, believe. You had me caught in every web that you weaved. But do you ever think of me, when you lie? Lie down in your bed your bed of lies. – Bed of lies, Nicki Minaj
After the dinner I had with the Potter's, I went straight to the muggle hotel I was checked in to. I had packed my things again so I could be ready to leave and go back to our flat early in the morning. I was exhausted with turn of the events today. I need some rest. My baby would be complaining soon since I was stressed a lot. I better tire myself tonight.
As soon as I laid down myself in the bed, I thought of the things I need to do first tomorrow. I thought of sending Ron a letter but I did not. If this engagement and our baby means to him, he should be there in our house waiting for us. If he really want me back to get things work out, he must leave Pansy for good. No more interruptions. No more infidelity. No more dishonesty. All things must sort out tomorrow. With heavy thought, I closed my eyes and sighed for exhaustion.
It was raining hard when I apparated in front of flat. I was nervous of what will be the outcome of this. Will Ron be truly honest to me now? Will he truly leave Pansy? Will he choose me? Choose us?
I felt a thug pain in my lower abdomen. I was so stressed and our child is suffering with all of this. I must finish this.
I opened the door of our flat and was welcomed by an eerie of silence. Ron was not home. Where was he? I asked myself. Fuck! I observed the place looking first at the small living room then turned to the kitchen. It was still same before I left. I checked our bedroom and the bathroom and still not like someone touched and used it for days. Where was he? I asked again. Fuming with anger inside me for the series of thoughts that was forming into my head. Was he with Pansy? I was a fool then. Believing he could change. Believing he will leave her for good. Believing he will choose us.
With so much anger that filled me in, I threw my luggage at the corner of our bedroom. I sat at the edge of our bed and cried myself. I couldn't believe he left me for her. Fuck Ron! Fuck him! I stared at the ring he gave to me. I slid it out of my finger and fiddled it to my fingers while staring at it. I want to throw it away. I want it gone and be gone away from him. But I remember all the memories we shared together. We were so good. We had fun. We were so happy. Where are those happiness now? Was I really happy? Was he really happy with me? Or was it a farce event because he lied? Was it?
"'Mione?" a familiar voice called outside the room. It was Ron. I got up immediately and went outside. He was here. I launched myself to him as soon as I saw him and cried while I pound my fist to his chest. "Love, I'm so sorry." He paused. "Shh. . . I'm really sorry." He pat my back as he calmed me down. I realized that I was so in love with him that he broke me into pieces when he lied and cheated to me.
"You bastard! You lied and cheated!" I continued to pound my fist to his chest. "I hate you so much but. . ."I paused as I sobbed. "I still love you."
"I'm really sorry love. I really do. I already sorted it out. We'll move on from this. I promise that it won't happen again. I won't see her anymore. I ended our thing as I realized I can't live without you in my life. I can't live acting like a bastard since I'll be a father soon. I'm sorry love. I really do." With that, I stopped hurting him and sobbed harder. He, then kissed my temple and hushed me to calm down. He hugged me tighter and guided me to the couch.
I felt calmer now as he hug me. I thought this will be our end. I thought that he left me for her. I still could dream of our happiness for the future with our bundle of joy.
We were fine after that day. He now came home early and been sweet since then. True to his word, he dropped the Parkinson's case. He relieved himself as Harry's partner just for the case. Molly had been livid to Ron when she knew that I left because of what I had seen. However, she has been grateful because I still accepted his son. With all the happenings, we still went to plan our wedding.
Our wedding. It will be simple like the other Weasley's wedding just the way I want it. We planned to be the same as Bill and Fleur's had. A white tent will erect in the backyard of the Burrow. There will only few people invited. It would be less than fifty persons, I think. I hope my parents were here. I hoped my father will give me a way to one of my important day. I palmed the small bump in my tummy. I was on my third month. I already bought things for our nursery. We still planned to stay at our apartment after the wedding. We couldn't afford a house yet since our savings was not yet enough but we planned to have in the future.
Days becomes weeks becomes month. And finally, the day of our wedding. Just I have said, it was just simple and intimate. We invited a few people just to share this happiest moment of our life. We held it at the backyard of the Burrow. Everything seems so perfect. It seems so. I still missed my parents. I hoped my father would walk me in the aisle and hand me to Ron. I just wished it. But I can't leave now. I can't leave Ron.
I was in the flat in the morning just to get the something before I prepare for the wedding in the afternoon. I also need to keep our flat protected before we left for our honeymoon. This has become my habit since the war. I rub my stomach as I touch the little bump. My tummy is showing a little since I was almost five months now. I smiled to myself. Everything has been set accordingly.
As I went to the bedroom, I heard a loud pop outside our flat. I checked immediately who followed me. However, as I near to the door, I was thrown to the wall by the loud explosion. My head had bumped to the hard wall and I blacked out.
My head hurt as I woke up. I felt something wet at my temple. I rub it and tasted. It was blood. Then, I sat up immediately and touched my tummy. I was nervous to what may happen to our baby. I still had a bump. It means that I still have my baby in me. I hugged myself and observed the place where I was. It was a small, dark and dingy. I felt a chain at my ankle and that was then I realized I was held as a prisoner by whom, I don't know.
I remembered the earlier happenings today. Everything seemed to be blurred in my mind. I wanted to know who did this. I wanted to know my abductor's identity. I cringed as I felt a stomach pain. I rub my tummy where the bump is. I was worried something might happen to our baby. I hoped Ron and Harry was looking for me. It would be hours since I was gone. I hoped they found me soon.
I looked for my wand at robe but it wasn't there. I got panic. How will I get out this place? Then, the door open. A person was holding a lamp. I tried to look at whoever it was but a female voice rang up. A very familiar voice.
"Oh good! You're awake!" she said sarcastically. I tried to look at her again. But the convergence of light and dark shadows her.
"Who are you?" I asked in a hoarse voice.
"You don't know me?" she laughed. "You know me very well Mudblood!" Then I realized who she was. Pansy.
"Parkinson." I blurted.
"Oh yes. It's me." She said smugly. "The mistress of your fiancé."
"What do you want?" I asked.
"What I want?"
"What do you want from me?" I asked her again.
"What do I want from you?"
"Stop repeating what I am saying Parkinson. I know you're not stupid! Stop this! Let me out. It's my wedding. Our wedding!"
"You know Mudblood, in your condition, I won't raise voice to your kidnapper." She said innocently.
"Then what are you doing this?"
"Oh just for fun." She laughed.
"For fun!?" I paused. "You're doing this for fun?" What's wrong with you? . . . You know very well I am pregnant-"
"You are not the only pregnant here Granger." She cut me out. I slacked my jaw to my shocked.
"W-what do you mean?" I asked faintly.
"You are not the only pregnant here." She paused and walked towards me then got near my face. "I am pregnant with Ronald's child also." I was shocked. My heart twitched. I felt a thug pain. I couldn't believe to what I was hearing.
"That can-can't be true." I said hesitatingly.
"Yes it is true, Granger. I was eight weeks along."
"NO!" I cried as my heart melts with the truth. "You're lying!"
"Suit yourself."
"Then why are you doing this to me? You tell that to Ron!" I shouted.
"I already did, Granger! I already told him about my condition and you know what he said. . .He said that he already has a child with you and he loves you so much that he won't bother with my condition. Then he left me. LEFT ME!" she cried. "He left me like that. Like I am nothing compared to you. People I loved left me for you!" she point her wand at me sent a torture curse. I cried in agony as I felt needles of searing pain all throughout my body. "You know, when your child is gone or if you're gone, he'll come back to me. He'll love me now for sure." She laughed like a madman.
"Please. . .please. . .stop." I plead with my hoarse voice. "Not my child. Please."
"You must suffer like Iid, Granger!" she sent the same curse again and I felt every limbs of my body extracted painfully. "You are a hindrance to my happiness." I couldn't understood what she's rambling on about since I felt exhausted and painfully in pain. I felt a gush of liquid between my legs. I could see my blood through that pastel skirt I was wearing. "You have taken my first love. I was already engaged to him. But he broke the betrothal contract because of some petty excuse but I know it was you the reason behind it! Ever since you came to my life! YOU FILTHY MUDBLOOD!" She sent another curse. I couldn't breathe anymore. The pain is so much to take.
But I need to fight her. I need to protect my child. I couldn't live knowing my child was killed. She then got near me. With all the strength I still have, I grab her ankle and whisked her away. She slipped and her wand fell from her hand. I reached for it and sent a body bind curse to her. I felt so weak and exhausted. I unlocked the chain and got out the door. I tried to walk outside the small cottage. It was located somewhere in the middle of an unknown forest. I tried my best walk further away from the house before I apparated at the burrow.
I landed outside the front door. My eyes were already closing when I heard the door opened and someone cried my name. Everything faded in black after that.
AN: Oh Pansy! Who are you talking about?
Anyway, I'll post soon.
Anyway, please review. Comments and suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks! =)
