Potter, Weasley, Potter, Weasley, Different Weasley. Who will be the next poor chap trapped in Parkinson's wicked web? Looks like Ron isn't the only Weasley that is after Potter's girl.

Fred found her sitting on a window sill on the fifth corridor staring out the window. Even from here, he could tell that something was bothering her, and he had a pretty good idea as to what it was that was on her mind. Luckily for him, the blast didn't specify which of Ron's siblings that Pansy was caught with. However, Ginny had her own list of problems, and George was beyond happy in his relationship with Angelina. That only left one sibling in attendance at Hogwarts, unless one of his older brothers was sneaking back on to campus in the dead of night, meeting girls at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Shrugging the Gossip Witch blast to the back of his mind, Fred made his way over to where Pansy was sitting. He remained quiet for a few moments, just watching her. She was naturally beautiful, but the sun illuminating her face through the window enhanced her beauty. He considered himself lucky that she had even bothered to give him a second look.

"Are you just going to keep staring at me?" Pansy asked, pulling Fred out of his thoughts and directing his attention to her eyes.

He saw pain there that he hadn't seen before and his heart broke for her. As his heart broke, Fred found himself getting angry with Gossip Witch for even saying anything, but then again, all she was doing was adding her two cents. His anger should be directed at whoever sent in the tip.

"I was just distracted by your beauty," Fred replied, leaning against the wall as he shoved his hands into his pockets. A shy smile pulled at the corner of his lips.

Pansy rolled her eyes as she pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. "You can sit down if you want."

Fred looked at the window sill briefly and then back up at Pansy before nodding his head and joining her. "Are you okay?"

Pansy shook her head. She knew that if she tried to speak, she would just start crying again.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Fred asked, sliding across the sill to get a little closer to her. He placed his hand on hers, forcing her to look up at him. He noticed the tears starting to well up in the corners of her eyes. "Come here."

He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her against his chest. As he did so, her whole body shook as a sob took over her. Fred pressed his lips to the top of her head, kissing her gently as he rubbed a hand up and down her back.

They stayed like that until Pansy finally stopped crying. When she first started to pull away, Fred stopped her and held her for a little while longer. A show of emotion that Pansy wasn't quite used to experiencing, but she was happy he did.

"Harry and I broke up," she whispered, resting her head on Fred's shoulder. "Right here, actually. I guess seeing us at the forest put the last nail in the coffin of our relationship."

"You threatening his best friend may not have helped your case either," Fred teased.

Pansy pulled away from him and narrowed her eyes. "How did you know about that?"

Fred panicked. He thought that her fight with Hermione was public knowledge based on the conversation he overheard in the common room last night when he got back. Apparently, he thought wrong. From the look on her face, it seemed as though Pansy was ready to kill someone. And if he wasn't careful, it would be him.

"Well?" Pansy hissed, glaring at him as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"I overheard a conversation that I wasn't supposed to in the common room after we went our separate ways last night," Fred mumbled, carding a hand through his hair. "It's no big deal, Pans. Now we can date without anyone questioning us."

"I'm going to kill her," Pansy grumbled, jumping up from the window sill.
