harrypotterchick4ever that would be telling now wouldn't it?!!
For all those that are worried, Pansy will stir things up a little for a few of our characters (JK Rowling's characters which I have temporarily stolen!) but she's actually not going to feature that much until a bit later in the story (as you'll see in this chapter...) and even then she won't be too prominent.
Her presence will be felt for a while though lol!
"This could have been me." He said quietly.
Arthur told them he was going to speak to Remus, if Tom had an available fireplace. "Remus has been in the Order a lot longer than Molly or I have and he's the most sensible and experienced person I can think to talk to at the moment."
Once Arthur had left the room there was an awkward silence. Pansy kept opening her mouth as if to say something to Draco and then changing her mind.
"Oh spit it out and be done with it will you?" Draco finally snapped at her.
Pansy looked at him with haunted eyes. "It was nothing personal Draco. I didn't know who you were. I just felt two powerful presences and informed the people I was supposed to."
"Couldn't you have lied? Pretended you didn't feel anything." Ginny asked. Pansy looked at her with an unreadable face.
"No." Pansy shook her head vehemently. "Voldemort said he would send a few Death Eaters through to test me. I can't tell people apart by their power so if I had failed to notice them he would have known and killed me."
"Did I hear you say two powerful presences?" Came a voice from the door. All heads turned to look at Remus; obviously he thought the situation was serious enough for him to come personally. "Remus. You came!" smiled Molly
Pansy's eyes widened slightly, she could feel a lot of power coming from Remus. She nodded to him in agreement with his question. The scrawny witch had given up hope of fighting or lying her way out of the situation and decided to just go along until she could escape and hide herself away.
"Draco, Arthur has told me what happened today but it was a little patchy. Can you tell me how you saved Ginny?"
"I Accioed her?" Draco said, wondering why he was being questioned and not Pansy.
"Draco you have no wand. You did wandless magic. To be able to control wandless magic is extremely hard. Young witches and wizards sometimes let out small bursts of magic but to do it as an adult you need rigorous training and even then some people cannot master it. Have you done this before?"
"Not that I know of. I just wanted her back safely. I just thought the spell and it worked."
"Interesting." Mulled Remus; thinking hard on something. He seemed to make up his mind and focused on the dark haired girl still held into the chair. "Now as for our little problem here, things will have to work much the same as they did for Draco. You will be questioned and held until we can decide what you know and what to do with you. Draco has proved himself but I have a feeling you are going to be a lot more trouble. For that reason I'm going to suggest that you are placed with Moody's team."
Pansy looked wildly at Remus; she had heard many stories about "Mad-Eye" Moody and the way he dealt with Death Eaters and their kind. "W-Will I be with Draco?" she asked.
Ginny, unnoticed for the moment, clenched her fists and prayed fervently that Pansy would not make Draco go with her. Ginny hated herself for it but she was jealous at the thought of Draco being taken away. He said he just wanted to be her friend but she realised that the thought of him with someone else, especially Pansy was just too much for her.
Remus shook his head. "No. That would be altogether too dangerous. Particularly since you have admitted to trying to give Draco and Ginny over to Voldemort." Ginny let out the breath that she hadn't realised she was holding.
"I didn't know it was him." Pansy whined and clawed desperately at the wooden hands holding her down.
"Irrelevant I'm afraid." Remus could see her fear and while he didn't trust the girl he didn't want her to be so scared she would do anything to get away. She may have valuable information. "Moody will not hurt you unless he had due cause. He will not torture you to gain information although he may use veritaserum and leglimency. If you behave yourself then your time there should be perfectly tolerable."
Pansy swallowed heavily and her eyes flicked between the people in the room. Remus spoke again.
"I will take you there now. I will have to blindfold you."
Pansy squirmed violently. "No, you might bite me… I know all about you!"
"As does everyone Pansy." Draco cut in. "I've made him the wolfsbane potion. He won't hurt you. Pans really, this is for the best."
"Why are you doing this Draco, why are you letting them take me? I thought I was your friend. Help me." Draco looked at the others in the room.
"Remus, she will go with you, can I just have a moment on my own with her?"
Remus nodded and everyone made their way from the room. Ginny paused by the door and looked at Draco. "Be careful." She whispered. Draco nodded to her and closed the door behind her.
"Pansy, I know you never wanted to be a Death Eater or have anything to do with them. I also know that despite that you're a devious cow and you'd lie about anything to get your own way." Pansy went to speak but Draco silenced her with a look.
"These people will know if you are lying. You asked me why I'm doing this? Because these people have treated me better than I've ever been treated, they have respect for me and I don't have to watch my back every last second. I felt freer being their prisoner than I ever did being a willing member of Voldemort's followers." Draco raked his hands through his hair and tried to get through to her.
"You trusted me enough to let me choke you in a street full of people - trust me a little more. If you do as they tell you then they will help to hide you better than you could ever hope to hide yourself. Please Pans. I am your friend. You've always done what I told you before."
Pansy nodded slowly. "I'll do as you say Draco. It's not like I have much choice. I guess you have always been my friend, but it's never been like you and that Weasley girl are. What's going on with you?"
Draco sighed. Pansy did know him better than he thought. "We're friends. I like her, a lot I guess. But we're just friends. She's still pining after Potter."
A mischievous look glinted in Pansy's dark eyes. "Tell them they can come in now. I'll go with the wolfman if you say he's safe. But if anything happens to me then on your conscience be it... seeing as you seem to have one now!"
Draco nodded and called the others back. Ginny was first, she shot in and positioned herself close to Draco. The playful look in Pansy's eyes magnified.
"Come on then Wolfy." She smirked. "You know, I can be a bit of an animal myself when I get going! You want to find out?"
Molly gasped in shock and Draco rolled his eyes. "Behave Pans." He said as Remus waved his wand to make the many handed chair turn back to normal. Remus ignored her lewd suggestion and kept his wand on her. "The blindfold please Arthur."
Arthur stepped forward but Pansy said. "Please, can Draco do it? I trust him." Arthur looked at Remus who nodded and Draco took the blindfold. As he stepped towards her she threw both arms around him and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. "For luck." She said throwing Ginny a look from the corner of her eye and smirking.
Draco tied the blindfold and said. "You'll be fine Pans. I'll see you soon. For Merlin's sake Remus get her to eat something, she's completely starved." Remus led Pansy out and down the corridor, being very careful not to let her bump into anything.
"Let's floo back." Molly said sighing. Arthur took her hand and they started walking towards the room where they could Floo to the house.
Draco turned to look at Ginny and was shocked when she pushed roughly past him.
