The Diversion: (Chapter 28)
Pansy threw in her floo and shouted: "Ministry of Magic!" Blaise did the same and they were both gone.
When they came out of the fireplace everyone was looking at the two of them in surprise. The feast was only for Ministry people and it was obvious that Pansy and Blaise weren't. One man stepped forward.
"What are you two doing here?" he said in a very annoyed voice.
"I am here for Vider Winters...get me the man that is authorised to sign the forms for her release" Pansy said in a bored voice, waving her hand dismissingly as if she expected that they would do as she wishes.
"Go back to wherever you came from, you are the one that is not authorised to be here" a man said.
"I WANT TO SEE SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP GET VIDER WINTERS OUT OF THIS PLACE!"
An unknown man stepped forward and tried to say soothingly: "Don't worry child, your friend is safe, but this is not the time to be here, come back another time!"
Needless to say it was pointless. Blaise yelled next.
"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO MY GIRLFRIEND AS IF SHE WERE A MERE CHILD MAN? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I AM BLAISE ZABINI AND MY FATHER WILL HEAR OF YOUR RUDENESS TOWARDS ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND"
Meanwhile somebody had called security and Pansy and Blaise were put into a wizarding holding cell; which is just a nice term for a prison. They were left there until someone would come to discuss the punishment of the scene they had just made, but that will most likely be handled tomorrow morning and not earlier. But Blaise and Pansy were not planning to stay there very long...
Each of them pulled out the vile containing the polyjuice potion and drained the entire vile. After they changed (on a most painfully way) they looked at each other. Blaise was the first one to speak.
"I can't complain about your appearance, but I like the normal you better"
Pansy (after the transformation) had long, black hair that came to her but and her eyes had changed colour. Once they were a soft brown, but now a dark shade of brown...almost black.
Blaise had changed too. His once shaggy, brown hair had turned black also and his eyes were bright blue.
"Yeah...just getting used to it" Pansy said. They quickly changed into the clothing they had brought "Now, we have to get out of this cell. You said that you had something for that"
"I do" Blaise grabbed his bag and pulled out a long knife. (Guys must have some thing with knives)
"A knife" Pansy said astounded. "What are you gonna do? Smash it into the door three-thousand times until we have a hole big enough to crawl through?"
"Magical knife...it can unlock every door, they don't make many of these, but they can come in handy...paid a pretty galleon for it, too"
He unlocked the door and it took three seconds. Pansy looked at Blaise approvingly. "Good job...lets move"
Quietly as possible, Pansy and Blaise walked through different corridors.
"You were in charge of finding a way around here, Pansy" Blaise said.
"I know and I have just the thing" She replied and grabbed the necklace that she had been wearing.
"See this?" She asked Blaise. Blaise leaned closer. He saw a golden chain, with in the middle a beautiful emerald stone. Pansy continued speaking.
"It's a family heirloom. Mother gave it to me when I turned fifteen. Other then the fact that it's gorgeous, it also comes with a handy trick. If the owner (which is me) needs to get somewhere and 'calls upon the help of the necklace' or something like that...it helps!"
Blaise looked sceptical. "Have you ever used it before?"
A blush crept up to Pansy's cheeks. "Well...no...Never needed it, but I'm sure it'll work!"
"Pansy!" Blaise said in a whiny voice.
"Blaise!" Pansy said, just as whiny, mocking Blaise. Blaise growled in reply.
Pansy grabbed the necklace and closed her eyes.
"Hello?"
Pansy's eyes shot open. She glared at Blaise.
"I am trying to concentrate! STOP talking!"
Blaise looked surprised. "Pansy...I didn't say anything..."
Pansy looked confused.
"Hello? Anybody there?"
"You don't hear that?" she asked Blaise.
"You do hear something?"
Pansy closed her eyes again. With her mind, she reached out.
Uhm... Pansy thought. Is anybody there?
Yes...it is I, the Necklace of Everywhere
Hello, Necklace of Everywhere...can you help us?
Of course dear, what is your destination?
Ministry Of Magic, Second Floor, Reception Hall
Okay, follow me!
Pansy opened her eyes and smiled at Blaise. She felt the Necklace pull softly and began walking. She told Blaise about the conversation.
"Wow..." He said. "Did it really say 'It is I, The necklace'?"
Pansy nodded. "That's just plain...weird"
They walked on, guided by the necklace. Each time they approached a corner, Blaise peaked his head around it, to see of the coast was clear. Luckily they encountered no one, though they did come across a door, which was probably a closet. Banging came from it, but neither Blaise nor Pansy wanted to know what was in it. They found the Reception Hall pretty fast.
Thank you necklace Pansy thought.
You're welcome until next time
"You know Pans, that IS a pretty handy necklace"
"Don't even think about it Blaise! Nobody can borrow, steal, loan it without permission or even with permission…it only works for me!"
"Bugger" he muttered.
Both of them turned towards the Great doors, where the party was held. Loud noises came from it and it was clearly filled with people. Pansy and Blaise looked at each other.
"This is it" Blaise said. "Are you ready?"
"I'll never be ready, but...let's do it"
And with that, Pansy and Blaise opened the Great Doors. Immediately, all faces were directed at them, all of them thinking who would come late to such an event and how rude it was. They saw two people, whom nobody knew. The two intruders were clad in black dress robes and with their black hair; they almost looked gothic-like.
Pansy and Blaise's face held no expressions. They walked into the room with an air of confidence. The crowd divided and a path became clear for Pansy and Blaise to walk upon. Together they walked towards the podium that was centred in the middle of the room. Cornelius Fudge was on it. It looked like he just wanted to begin a speech before they had walked in.
Whispers went through the crowd, but no one spoke up. When Pansy and Blaise stepped up the podium, Fudge appeared to have regained his voice.
"Who are you and why are you here? I don't think you have received an invitation did you?" He snapped, obviously annoyed that they had to steal all the attention from him.
Pansy said nothing, but Blaise shoved Fudge from the podium. He then raised his wand at himself and said: "Sonorus!" he did the same to Pansy.
They turned their attention towards the crowd.
"Terribly sorry for the interruption, really I am!" Pansy rambled in a high squeaky voice.
"Yes, Yes...I agree with my wife here" Blaise said.
"We have a very good reason, really we do!" Blaise had to keep himself from laughing out loud at the voice Pansy made.
Fudge was now REALLY annoyed... "SECURITY!" he yelled.
"Oh Stuff it, you grumpy, fat little man!" Pansy snapped "That won't do very much right now"
"Yes, I have just placed a charm on this podium. No one can come near it now..." It was true; the aurors that were present as well as the guards at the party came face to face with an invisible barrier.
"Now that I have everyone's attention...my name is David Cummings and this..." Blaise said pointing at Pansy. "..Is my wife Emily Cummings…and now that the introductions are done, let's continue to discuss a serious matter..." Silence ensued. Everybody held their breaths. Every one was hanging at Pansy and Blaise's lips.
Pansy pointed at a badge on her robe. "Does anyone know what kind of badge this is?" Nobody answered her...so Blaise did.
"It's from S.P.E.W. and no, it does not mean spew, but S.P.E.W...Anyone know what kind of organisation it is from?" Again silence. Blaise knew what came next and once more thanked to Merlin that the Slytherin's knew how to keep a blank face; otherwise he would've laughed out loud.
Pansy spoke up. "S.P.E.W.-Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare"
