Motion

Ron had fallen into a routine that baffled everyone at Hogwarts who now knew what had happened the night he showed up in the eighth year dormitories covered in blood though he had never talked about it to anyone outside of the headmistress or Madame Pomfrey.

He was now one of the first students up, even beating Hermione on occasion. After showering and getting ready for the day, he would go to the hospital wing and sit with Pansy. She normally wasn't awake by then but it didn't matter to Ron. He just had to know that she was alive before continuing with his day. Especially after that first morning, when he wasn't sure what he would find when he opened those doors.

Then he would go have breakfast. After that he would go to his morning classes. Three days a week he had a free period before lunch and would go sit with Pansy again who would be awake but wouldn't say anything or even look at him. The other two days a week, his free period was after lunch so he would go visit her then. Where she would do the same thing; always awake but not acknowledging his presence.

Once his afternoon classes were complete, he would visit her again. She would often be asleep or simply feign sleep during these visits but he would just start on his homework while he sat with her.

He would then head off to dinner.

Finally, he would visit her one more time after his evening activities were done just before curfew. She normally would be asleep during these visits too but he didn't care.

As long as she was sleeping. As long as her chest moved up and down. She was alive.

And that's what mattered to Ron these days.
