Break Through!

Narrator: Pansy and Rapunzel sat quietly through the rest of the meal, but the tower's peaceful surroundings were soon to be disturbed.

Quietly, Pansy watched as her daughter finished her salad. She knew that she couldn't fault Rapunzel for inquiring about the muggles so much, after all, the girl was part muggle herself. But, she couldn't deny that the questions asked always hit a sore spot. She had always tried her best to keep her daughter from the muggles, for many reasons. Pansy had to admit to herself on many occasions that most of those reasons were downright selfish, but she still refused to let Rapunzel out of her sight. She had lost many to the world, and she refused to lose her daughter as well.

Getting up from her chair and leaving her now empty plate behind, Pansy walked over to the tower window. After scanning the area outside, she glanced around the world she had created for her daughter. It was in essence, perfect.

The room was as big as the potions classroom at Hogwarts, but it was without the draftiness of the dungeons. It was everything her daughter could have asked for in a world. Although this particular thought did nothing to calm her nerves. Rapunzel was curious, and that was the quality that convinced Pansy that the perfect little world would never last.

She had already begun to see a change in her daughter and this caused an uneasy feeling to rise in Pansy's gut. For the first time in her life, she felt as if her daughter was hiding something. She had written to Snape about it, hoping that he would have an idea about why Rapunzel's demeanor had changed. She had figured that since her daughter shared everything with the potions master, he would be the likely person to ask.

Sighing, she turned back to watch the outside world once again. She hadn't been watching for two minutes when a gleam of silver caught her eye. "What in the world?" She asked to no one in particular. But Rapunzel had heard her, and walked over to stand next to her mother.

"It's an owl," Rapunzel stated. "But I've never seen it before."

Pansy squinted. The owl seemed familiar to her. Very familiar. In fact, the closer it got, the more she recognized it. "I have," she told her daughter.

"Who's is it?" Rapunzel asked.

Pansy smiled as the 'gleam of silver' turned directly into the path of the moon light. It was now clear to see that the owl was actually a brilliant white. "That's Hedwig." She said as she gave her daughter a grin that would strike fear into anyone other than her daughter.

"Who's Hedwig? And why are they sending us an owl." Pansy chuckled. "No, the owl is Hedwig. She belongs to Harry Potter."

Rapunzel's eye's flew wide. "Harry Potter? As in THE Harry Potter?"

She new of course the stories of her mother's school year. Stories of how she had hated Potter and how they became friends. Her favorite of course was when her mother helped Potter, and the others who were fighting for the light, bring Voldemort to his knees.

Both mother and daughter backed away from the window as Hedwig flew over to the table and began picking uneaten lettuce off of Rapunzel's plate.

Walking over to the bird, Pansy took the letter that was attached to it's leg. She could tell immediately that the letter was not from Harry Potter, but rather Hermione Malfoy. Curious, she ripped open the letter and cried out in relief.

"Rapunzel, lower your hair. Something came up and I have to go." She said.

Pansy gave her daughter a pointed look as she was surprised that the girl didn't even argue. It was almost as if she were glad to see her go. Pansy shook that last thought from her head as she began to climb down her daughter's hair. Once her feet were on the ground, Pansy stared up at her daughter. "I'll see you tomorrow."

Rapunzel only nodded before disappearing into the tower, more than likely she went to take care of Hedwig so that the owl would be strong for her journey back home.

Sighing, Pansy turned and walked as quickly as she possibly could towards the village gripping the valuable parchment in her hands. Valuable because Hermione, Draco, Harry and Snape had found her cure.
