Chapter 18
"I really don't think I want to know," Harry said. "Come on, let's get out of here."
And they disappeared.
"Miss Pansy," said the elf.
Pansy recognized the voice and look down to see her mother's house-elf.
"What is it, Time?"
"Mistress is dead!" Time said. "Oh, this small man killed her."
Pansy became fearful.
"And why did he kill her?"
"Because the Dark Lord wants to marry you," she said.
Pansy suddenly felt fear flooding her. She quickly said her goodbyes to the Slytherin's and then left. An hour later Pansy was gone.
"Sir, you had no right to get me married off," Ron said.
Dumbledore glared at him.
"I'm doing this to protect you," he said. "Five points from Gryffindor for telling me what I think is right. You're married to Tonks and that's final. Your things will be brought up to your new rooms in the morning. Get use to it, Weasley."
Ron stormed out, Harry behind him.
When Hermione arrived in the Great Hall she noticed a commotion. It seemed to be at the Slytherin table in particular. She stopped so that she could hear what they were saying.
"Pansy left us," Draco said. "She just packed her bags and left."
"Any idea where she went?"
Draco shook his head.
Pansy leaving, Hermione thought, what was going on here? She turned and headed for the staff table, wondering what had caused the little pig to leave.
For the rest of the morning the school was talking about two things. The marriage of Ron and Tonks and Pansy leaving Hogwarts. Even Dumbledore had been confused by this rash behavior. However, Hermione felt that she had decided to go and join the Dark Lord early. Who needed an education when you knew that Voldemort might win the war? She pushed Pansy out of her head and headed off to lunch.
"Ssshe what!" Voldemort hissed.
"She's gone, Master," Wormtail said. "It's all over Hogwarts."
Voldemort slammed his fist against the wall.
"Sshe's going to pay for that," he said. "Sshe's going to wisssh that sshe didn't go up againssst me. Bring me the Brown girl. Sshe's a pureblood and will do just fine."
"As you wish, master."
The figure of Pansy Parkinson walked down Diagon Alley, looking over her shoulder, hoping that a Death Eater wasn't going to attack her. She quickly found what she was looking for and opening the door, she entered. The shop was almost empty except for the sound of something writing.
"Hello," she called out.
A figure appeared at once.
"Pansy!" Fred yelled.
Pansy dropped her things and hugged him and then kissed him. She was finally with the man that she loved.
Note: Well there you have it. I'm sorry about more updates for later, but I can't do it until tomorrow night. Next chapter: Hermione transforms and Severus gives insights to why this is happening.
