Chapter Twelve: Spy
Ginny bit her lip and stood up, "Sylvia, I had a great time with you this past week. You showed me another side to me that I hadn't even known existed and I thank you for that. But I'm not who you think I am." Slowly, Ginny's body began to change. Her hair turned from red to blonde and she shrunk a little.
Sylvia gasped and her eyes widened, "Pansy?" She jumped up, grabbed her wand, and held it in front of her. Pansy nodded and looked down to her feet. "What the hell are you doing here and why were you just in Ginny's body?" Sylvia demanded.
Pansy's eyes slowly traveled up to Sylvia's and she asked, "Sylvia, before I answer any of those questions; I want to ask you a couple of mine own. Remember a couple of days ago, we went to Diagon Alley and I asked you what you thought of me?" Sylvia didn't reply, but her countenance softened and she nodded.
Pansy continued, "You said I was probably really nice and you would like to get to know me; and this week you did. Am I as bad as people make me out to be?" Sylvia bit her bottom lip and whispered, "I'm sorry Pansy. I was just...shocked. I thought that-"
"It's ok. I should be the one who's sorry. I should have never agreed to what Jason asked me to do. I should've known that Draco and I are over and there is nothing I can do about it. Can you ever forgive me, Sylvia?"
Sylvia paused to think and then replied, "Of course, I think that you really are a nice person on the inside. You were just raised in a different life style from most people and it just took you a while to figure out who the real you is. People make mistakes and it doesn't do go to dwell on them, so lets move on." She paused again and then asked, "What did you mean when you said that you should have never agreed to what Jason asked you to do?"
Pansy gulped and said, "This is going to take a while, lets go and make ourselves comfortable before I say anything." Sylvia nodded and walked out of the room into the kitchen. She made them each a cup of coffee and they sat down on the couch.
"Begin." Sylvia stated.
Pansy took a deep breath and began, "It all started when Jason kidnapped Ginny. He took her to his secret hiding place; I can't tell you exactly where it is only that it over looks the whole of the Diagon Alley. He started to put his plan into action. The objective of his plan was to make Ginny love him and make everyone dislike her; whether it was to make people hate her by pain or by pure hatred. He wanted himself to be the only person she would love. In her eyes, he wanted to look as if he was the only one in the world who would ever love her or care for her.
"His plan was to keep the real Ginny with him while someone to play Ginny else where by using the Polyjuice Potion. There were many people who volunteered to play Ginny so they could get money. Jason didn't want to pay someone to play Ginny. It didn't matter if he had to give them (other than money) something in return. So it was singled down to one person; myself.
"He told me that to play Ginny and make Draco hate her. Hate her so much, that Draco wouldn't even talk to her anymore. I didn't want to do it because the Polyjuice Potion doesn't exactly taste like honey and I thought that I could always get Draco back because he still loved me. So he tried to convince me some more. He said that I could make her life and the people around her miserable or that I could kill someone or do whatever I wanted to and I wouldn't get in trouble for it. I still didn't want to do it. That was until he brought up the subject Draco. He told me that if I made Draco hate Ginny so much that he would never want to talk to her again, that he would come back to me.
"That was when everything in my eyes seemed to brighten. The next day, I started observing Ginny. Her body language and the way she talked. When I thought that I was ready to become Ginny, I told Jason and showed him what I could do. He approved and gave me many locks of Ginny's hair. He escorted me to the hospital and you know what happened from there."
During the whole explanation, Sylvia was silent. Pansy sat quietly, letting the entire information sink into the others head. A couple of minutes later Sylvia spoke, "Well I think that tomorrow, we should tell Draco."
Pansy jumped off the couch, "No! He'll be angry with me!"
Sylvia stood up, put her hands on Pansy's shoulders and said firmly, "I will not lie to you and say that he will not be angry with you because he will. You have to do the right thing and tell him the truth. If you don't then I will and you can leave tomorrow morning. You have told me enough information to locate Ginny and get her back, and enough information to send you to Azkaban!"
She let go of Pansy and headed back to her own room. Pansy started pacing the room, thinking. 'Oh my god, I can not believe that I just told Sylvia everything. Jason is going to kill me! But it just felt so right when I was telling her about his plan; it felt like the world was lifted off of my shoulders. I don't feel guilty anymore. Now, the question is, what am I going to do next?'
Meanwhile in Sylvia's room, she contacted Draco. "Draco, we need to talk. There's something important I must tell you. Come over tomorrow morning after breakfast." Draco was confused, but agreed none the less.
The next morning, Draco and Blaise apparated into Sylvia's living room with Paige and Emily in their arms. Paige immediately jumped out of Blaise's arms and ran to her mother. "Oh mommy, I missed you so much!" Paige kissed her mother soundly on the cheek. "I miss you too, baby." Sylvia replied and kissed Paige.
During this, Draco felt Emily's grip on his shirt tighten. He looked down at her and questioned softly, "What's wrong, Emma?" Emily shook her head and smiled, but Draco knew his daughter too well and when she says it's nothing, it's something. And Draco knew what this something was, Emily wanted a mother who she could run to and do what Paige just did and to get it returned. Draco smiled sadly and kissed the top of his daughter's head and whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too, Daddy."
Draco rested his chin on Emily's head and the two waited patiently for the happy family to finish their reunion. A couple of minutes later, the three adults sat on the couch in the living room, sipping tea. (Paige and Emily were in the playroom.) That was until Draco and Blaise noticed that someone was missing, "Hon, where is Ginny?"
Sylvia licked her lips and said, "That's why I called you guys over last night. We need to talk about 'Ginny'. Let me go and see if she's awake." She stood up and walked down the hall to Pansy's room. She took a deep breath, knocked on the door and entered.
Pansy was pacing, yet again, in front of her bed whispering to herself. Sylvia smiled and walked up to her. "Hey."
"Hi."
"Um-have you decided what you're going to do?"
Pansy gulped, "Yes, I have decided to tell Draco what I told you last night." Sylvia grinned and patted Pansy on the shoulder, "Don't worry. Everything is going to be just fine."
Pansy nodded and started fiddling with the hem of her shirt. Sylvia gave her a reassuring hug and the two walked out of the room. 'Ok, Pansy. You are doing the right thing. Take a deep breath and relax.' Pansy tried to calm herself.
In the living room, Draco and Blaise were calmly talking when Sylvia and Pansy walked into the room. At first the two didn't notice then Blaise ceased talking and stared behind Draco. He (Draco) slowly turned around with a perplexed facial expression, but as soon as his eyes came in contact with Pansy's his countenance changed to irritation.
Draco and Blaise jumped up and started shouting at her. "What the fuck is she doing her?!" "Why is she in my house?" "Get out!" Sylvia rolled her eyes and used her wand to shut them up by casting a silencing charm. The two didn't notice that as they moved their lips nothing came out.
"Sit!" Sylvia commanded and the men sat down immediately. She walked over to them, pulling a frightened Pansy along with her. "Pansy has something she wants to tell us about Ginny. If you two don't listen, then you might never get to see Ginny again. I am NOT going to remove the spell until she is finished explaining. Is that clear?"
Draco and Blaise slowly nodded their heads. Sylvia beamed happily and sat Pansy down in the chair across from the discontented men. Sylvia sat down next to Blaise and signaled Pansy to start. Pansy took a deep, shaky breath and began telling the story she told Sylvia the night before.
When she was finished, Draco was shaking uncontrollably and Blaise was just staring into space with a blank expression. Sylvia cleared her throat and stood up, "Ok, I'm going to remove the silencing spell off Blaise first because Draco, you need to cool down."
She removed the spell and Blaise stood up. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Pansy jumped up and whispered, "I don't know. I wasn't thinking properly. You already know why I decided to become Ginny." Blaise sighed and put his head in his hands. "What are we going to do now?"
Sylvia looked over to Draco and rolled her eyes. He was pointing to himself and mouthing something. She removed the spell off the big mouth and he exploded, "You stupid mother fucking BITCH!" Everyone would of heard Draco continue his curse rage if it were not for Sylvia, who casted the charm again leaving Draco shouting silently.
Sylvia walked up calmly in front of Draco and SLAP! "Draco Malfoy! Don't you dare curse in a house with children ever again! Now SIT AND SIMMER DOWN!" She turned to Blaise and he put both his head in front of him and said, "I didn't do anything wrong. Well not as bad as the bimbo head here." She pursed her lips and he stopped talking and sat down.
Sylvia smirked and winked at Pansy. "I am not going to remove the spell off Mr. I-Can't-Control-My-Attitude until after lunch and he has calmed down. That is when we will think of what to do next. Now everyone relax while I go and make lunch."
After lunch, Sylvia removed the spell off Draco. He glared at Pansy and mumbled something along with stupid bitches. The four adults sat in the living room, thinking up ideas of what they could do. Emily and Paige were eating in the playroom.
Draco put his head in his hands and groaned, "God, Parkinson! I hate you so much! You put a dent in the plan that Potter, Ginny and I planned. Thanks a lot!"
Sylvia looked at Draco with a puzzled expression upon her face, "What are you talking about?"
Draco sighed and began explained, "Ginny had convinced me to tell Potter about Voldemort."
Sylvia jumped up and ran over to the fireplace, "We have to tell Harry what happened." She threw some powder into the fireplace and up came Harry's face, "Hey Harry! Look I need you to come over to my house ASAP! It's about Ginny. I'm afraid that whatever plan that you had before, won't work now because – well you'll find out when you get here."
"Sure, I can be there in about 15 minutes. I have a meeting and then a lunch break. See you then."
Sylvia turned back to the three Slytherins to find that each and every one of them wearing the same countenance; disgust. She rolled her eyes and whispered, "Slytherins."
"Look you three; put your differences behind you. We are no longer in Hogwarts; we are adults now and must act like one. Draco you have to behave because Harry is here to help both Emily and Ginny; Blaise you have to behave because well if you don't, lets just say that you will have many uncomfortable nights; and Pansy you have be nice because if you don't we can turn you in." Sylvia lectured.
The three scowling Slytherins reluctantly agreed. Sylvia rolled her eyes and sat next to Blaise. Out of now where screaming was heard. It was coming from the hall. Draco, Blaise, Sylvia and Pansy jumped up and before they knew it two blurs were headed straight towards them.
One of them tackled Draco. "Ahhh, Daddy help! The lake monster is going to eat me!" Emily shouted. Draco laughed hugged Emily close to him. He stood up with Emily in his arms and he said, "Don't worry, Emma! I'll protect you from all the lake monsters." He looked around the room and his eyes landed on the fire poker, he handed it to Emily, "Ready?! Charge!"
"Oh not so fast!" Blaise hollered. He picked up Paige and the four of them went head to head. They ran out to the back yard so they could have more space to play leaving Pansy and Sylvia.
Pansy smiled sadly and whispered, "God, I made the biggest mistake of my life by letting her go. I'm so stupid. Well at least she'll be safe and happy with Draco and Ginny."
Sylvia walked over to her and sighed, "Look, you're not stupid. You just weren't ready for a child then. People make mistakes and you can still spend time with her. I'm sure that Draco wouldn't mind."
Pansy shook her head and said, "No, I can't. I need to get help first. I know nothing about children and I have a drinking problem and many other problems that I need to get resolved first. I don't want Emily spending time with a drug addict mother."
Sylvia embraced Pansy and said, "That's a great idea."
The other woman nodded and said, "Now I know what to do."
"Good for you." Sylvia licked her lips and smiled. She walked out to the backyard to give Pansy some alone time.
"I just hope that this is right." Pansy whispered.
Fifteen minutes later, Harry apparated into the room. He was surprised that he was in a room with three of the people he hated most, but he knew that he shouldn't reside on the past. Pansy explained what happened again. Harry was shocked at first, but recovered rather quickly.
"Wow, where do I start?" Harry questioned.
"How about tell us the plan you had developed a while ago." Sylvia suggested.
Harry nodded, "Well you see. I had wanted Ginny and Draco to pretend they were going out and display a break up in front of Pansy here. Draco would get back with Pansy and try to coax her to tell him the plan with Voldemort and Jason."
"Wait! I'm not doing anything for Voldemort at the moment. I'm only working for Jason right now." Pansy interrupted.
Harry cleared his throat, "Well, then Jason only. I didn't plan anything after that. I wanted to see what information Draco would come back with."
"So Draco was going to be a spy?" Sylvia questioned.
"Yes, but now I think that we're going to have to use Pansy as our spy. Pansy, does Jason ever...visit you?"
Pansy nodded, "Yes, but only to see how I'm doing. Usually twice a week so he should be around tomorrow."
"Perfect. Look Pansy, you need to act normal; everyone has to. You three have to pretend that you don't know the information that you know. Pansy, I want you to ask a couple of questions. For instance: What is he going to do with Ginny. Or what he has in store for the three of you. (Draco, Blaise and Sylvia)"
Pansy nodded.
"Once you get some information or if anything comes up, contact me. Now I have no business being here so I will leave now. " Harry stood up and shook hands with Draco and Blaise. "It's been great seeing you again Sylvia." The two hugged. Blaise glared at Harry and was thinking that if his hand went any lower on her back, he would rip him to shreds. They broke apart and Harry disapparated. Sylvia rolled her eyes as Blaise put his arm around her protectively.
The next day, Pansy went to Ginny's house. Sylvia told her that she (Pansy) could stay longer, but she didn't want to impose. Of course, Sylvia had insisted, but Pansy left. She thought that if she stayed past a week, then Jason wouldn't approve because that wasn't something that Ginny would do.
Before she left, Sylvia explained to her what happens at Ginny's house. "Some times, Ron drops off his twins for Ginny to watch. Everyday Ginny goes over to the Burrow to visit her family. Um- they are really kind people, but they might look very spaced out because Voldemort had put a spell on them to-"
"Yes, I know about that. If you want, I can remove it for you." Pansy suggested.
"Oh my god! Really?! That would be great. Ginny would be so happy." Sylvia explained a few more minor things and sent Pansy on her way.
When Pansy got to Ginny's house she felt warm. Ginny's house was very different from any house that she had been to. The house was elegant and warming. She walked around and easily was able to identify the rooms. When she walked into Ginny's room and gasped. This room was simple yet stylish.
Pansy walked over to her nightstand where a couple of notes ly. She bit her lip, 'this is wrong. Don't do it!' She thought, but curiosity got the better of her. She sat down on the bed and took the first letter. It read:
Dear Draco,
I'm sorry that I left you without telling you why and even now I can't tell you. If I do, I'm afraid that I might never be able to see my family again. Maybe we can see each other in a couple of years after Voldemort dies. Please forgive me and don't write back. I love you so much and I was stupid for denying it back in school. Now I regret it.
I hope that you're happy though. I hope you've moved on, got married and made a family. I miss you so much that it makes my heart ache. I probably won't even send this letter out after I write it. It contains too much of my feelings for you and I don't want to cause anything between you and your wife. Well I have to go now. I don't want to take up too much of your time.
Love you always,
Ginny Weasley.
Pansy slowly put the letter down and sighed. She didn't know that Ginny loved Draco so much, but even if she did she probably wouldn't have cared very much back then. 'God, I'm such a bitch.' She laid back and closed her eyes. Soon she fell into a deep slumber.
The next morning, Pansy woke up feeling extremely refreshed. 'Wow, Ginny's bed is so comfortable.' She thought as she headed for the bathroom. Surprisingly that morning, Jason didn't visit. 'Well I'm not going to complain, I'd rather him not come.' She took a shower and went to the kitchen to make something to eat.
'I do not want to do anything the muggle way, so lets just magic!' Pansy made many breakfast foods appear on the table; from all ways of eggs to many sandwiches. Just as she was about to begin devouring her meal, the doorbell rang. She groaned, it was 8 in the morning who in their right mind would go to anyone's house that early?
She opened the door and on the door step was Ron's twins. "Who are you?" Daniel exclaimed?
Thinking fast Pansy replied, "Oh you must be Ron's children. Come in, your Aunt Ginny has work to do and is busy. She asked me to watch you two for today."
Daniel shrugged and stepped right into the house, while he's sister Sammy stayed on the steps. "I don't know Dan. Are you sure that it's ok?"
Pansy smiled sweetly and bent down to Sammy's eye level. "Hello, my name is Pansy Parkinson. What's your name?"
Daniel rolled his eyes and muttered, "Stupid scaredy cat." He walked to the nursery and began playing with the toys there.
"Why don't you come in and we can talk."
Sammy shook her head vigorously and ran into the nursery and sat next to her brother. Pansy bit her lip, stood up and closed the door. 'Wow, she's really shy.'
