Overwhelmed
Pansy and Ron both knew they should feel overwhelmed by all the plans they were making on their own with only Charlie's assistance as he had been sworn to secrecy. It wasn't that they didn't want their friends' help, it was more like they wanted to take this first step on their own together – making plans, setting courses independent of everyone else's opinions or help. They loved and cared for each and everyone of them but this needed to be about them and their family and their future.
The packing and the shipping of their belongings started slowly with the things that Pansy's parents had allowed her to finally retrieve from her childhood bedroom. Ron hadn't been able to retrieve what he wanted from his yet without bringing their family into their plans, so they had settled on him retrieving everything he wanted a few months after their move. They had managed to get most of their room packed and shipped to Charlie which frankly ended up taking more luck than either wanted to admit along with some fancy charm work on Pansy's part. And neither wanted to talk about how they managed to get Sugar, in one piece, to Charlie anytime soon.
All that was left was a few books, and some clothing that they planned to take with them the day the verdict was read and depart from Romania from there.
But as they stood in their dress robes moments before they were supposed to leave, holding on to one another as tightly as possible, they suddenly felt overwhelmed by the week they had to come.
Only the promise of a quieter life away from England gave them the strength to leave the sanctuary
of their room and hurry to the awaiting Portkey hand in hand.
