Disclaimer: you know what I'm about to say; I don't own it, only Scully, Fillyn, Oelricht and the stupid plot. I'm getting tired of this, just kidding! R&R
A/N: Here it goes. Just don't fall asleep in front of the computer. LOL
Chapter 4
It was quiet on the stairs as Pansy waited patiently. She finally heard footsteps a few floors down. She stiffened in the fear that it might be a teacher. She closed her eyes under the blindfold and listened to the steps approaching. The person was climbing the stairs from the first floor up. The rhythm in the steps was actually intoxicating. Pansy slipped to sit on the step and waited.
The patter of steps stopped at the bottom of the stairs that Pansy occupied. A chuckle came from the person as he stood there. Pansy frowned and braved to take the blindfold off to look at the person. It was Scully and Pansy wanted to kill him for scaring her.
"Hey, put that back on" he said as he approached her.
When he stood in front of her she stood and hit him hard in the chest.
"You bloody didn't need to scare me like that!" she scolded.
Scully clamped the tender spot she hit and laughed.
"Sorry, let me help you with that." He replied and took the blindfold out of her hands. She sighed and turned around. He gently placed the black material around her head and tied it. She gasped when it was too tight. Scully adjusted the knot and turned the girl around again.
"That too," he said as he roughly tugged at her robe. Pansy crossed her arms stepped back. "Just the robe, Ace, - no more."
Pansy considered.
"Fine" she said and opened her arms for him to take it off. A sneer crossed her face as Scully groaned. He saw this and laughed. Then he stood closer and first took off her cloak then unbuttoned her robe. Underneath the robe Pansy was wearing a black and red checker skirt and a faded black polo neck with the sleeves cut off. Scully couldn't help but think that for an eleven-year-old girl she looked good. After she stepped away from the robe on the floor Scully replaced her cloak.
He smoothly led Pansy down the stairs and to his destination.
When they stopped, Pansy could hear voices from beyond a door. The door opened after a series of knocks and the voices became louder. Scully removed the blindfold and Pansy met a magnificent sight.
It was a formal gathering with tables and a dance floor.
Everyone was dressed in attire fit for the 1890's, which made Pansy kind of uncomfortable.
"Come along. I have to go get dressed." Scully ordered. Before Pansy could refuse, Scully was directing her to a side door. They entered and Scully took out his wand. He waved it above his head and his school clothes turned into the same 1890s theme. He directed the wand at Pansy and waved it again.
Pansy felt the small silver tiara on her head. She looked for a mirror and glanced at her reflection. Odd!
"Beautiful!" Scully mused at his creation.
"What's with the tiara?" she asked. Her clothes were still the black ones she wore on the stairs only with the tiara, so it looked out of place.
"It looks cute" Scully stated and redirected Pansy to the party.
"And if I hate being cute?" Pansy asked.
"That's your problem, Ace." Scully informed her, "It's not coming off!"
They walked back into the party room together. Pansy couldn't recognize anyone but then again she didn't know many Slytherins yet.
"Go and make some friends," Scully instructed. "I have other business to attend to."
Before Pansy could protest, he was gone. Pansy walked into the crowd and said hi to the first person she saw.
That person simply smiled, bowed and walked away. The next couple of people ignored her like she wasn't there. She wandered around for a while until she found a group that was speaking Russian. Yes! Pansy thought. At least something I could have in common with them.
The conversation occurred in Russian.
"Evening friends" she said. The Slytherins turned towards her, bowed and smiled.
"Welcome, princess." One of the guys said. Pansy frowned at 'princess' but remembered the tiara.
"Has anyone seen Scully?" she asked.
"Why would you want him, are you blowing us off so soon? Sorry if we have offended you, your highness." The guy said sadly.
"No, I'm not blowing you off, I just want a piece of him." She said. She didn't know whether anyone understood that 'a piece of him' meant she wanted to argue with him. They probably did because they pointed him out.
"Thank you, what's your name?" she asked.
"Oelricht Agorok" he answered.
"Nice to meet you Oelricht, I'll see soon." Pansy greeted him. Oelricht took her hand and kissed it.
"See you soon Princess Pansy" he said.
She walked over to Scully and drew his attention. Fillyn was there too and he saw her first.
"Ace! Princess!" he said and he picked her up and swayed her around. "You look good, very cute, and all"
Pansy narrowed her eyes dangerously and Fillyn let her go.
"Okay that's not cute, that's impressive" Fillyn said quickly at the sight of her angry face.
"Having fun Ace?" Scully came into view. He saw her eyes and looked at Fillyn who seemed a bit fazed by Pansy's anger.
"Wow, you are good Ace" Scully mused. "You scared Fillyn, no one can do that."
"I guess she already proved herself worthy." Fillyn said when he relaxed again.
"Well what a night, lets retire." Scully said to Pansy. He escorted her to the door and they left.
"Where are we?" Pansy asked when they've been walking for a very long time.
"Outside the Slytherin common room" Scully answered. Pansy took off the tiara and handed it to Scully.
"No it's yours, you established yourself as our princess." Scully gave it back.
"What?"
"You don't need to understand. But know that you will be the one to hand over the tradition when your time comes. You need to attend two more 'adventures' before you become a member but it will be soon."
"Whatever!"
"Around the corner is the door to the Slytherin common room. Good night Princess."
"Night!" Pansy said stiffly and walked away.
A/N: I really don't know what to do more. So this is it. Hope it's worth anything. It is kinda boring. But Pansy had to establish her name in Slytherin firstly before the big stuff begins. R&R
