How • Ron Weasley

Chapter 12: Pansy Parkinson

Harry, Hermione, George and Fred were looking at them from behind.
"Your stuff. I have it. If you want it now?" Ron asked.
"Oh yea. I completely forgot about that." She said laughing.
"Are they in your common room?" Lauren asked.
"Yea."
"Then lets go quickly before more people get back." Lauren smiled.

Ron started for the common room and Lauren was next to him.
"So you guys were studying? I thought you were going home." Ron asked.
"Oh I came back early and went to the library and Fred and George asked if they could tag along." Lauren explained.

"If they've said anything about me you should know that it's probably not true. They have this thing where they love to embarrass me." Ron said nervously.
"I figured but don't worry they didn't say much about you." Lauren smiled.

"Good." Ron said.
"They just went on and on about how great you thought I was and how you never stop talking about me and you know simple stuff like that." Lauren chuckled.

Ron went completely pale.
"I'm flattered that you think I'm so great, Ron." Lauren said smiling.
Lauren could tell that Ron was getting embarrassed.

"I love spending time with you too." Lauren said looking down smiling.
"You do?"
"Yea. I think that I may be starting to like you better than Malfoy." Lauren looked at him.
Ron blushed.
"Just a little." She added.
"So I'm better than Malfoy?" Ron asked smiling.
"Don't get ahead of yourself now. I just said that I like you better than Malfoy. A little." She said
chuckling.

"I like you better than most girls. Even if you're crazier than them there's something about you that I like." Ron said. He couldn't stop himself from saying that. He quickly opened the door and walked inside.
"Ron you're gonna make me blush." Lauren said pushing him.

"I'll be right back I'm gonna go grab your stuff." Ron said walking to the dorms.
"Why is my stuff in the dorms." Lauren asked smiling.
"So that they're not out there." Ron yelled from the dorm. He walked back out and gave her, her jacket
and scarf.

"Thanks for letting me use it." Ron said.
"Thanks for giving it back." Lauren said smiling.
They we're looking at each other.
"I should get going." Lauren said breaking the silence.
"Oh yea." Ron said holding open the door for her.
""I'll see you Monday like promised." Lauren said.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" Ron asked smiling.
"Um nothing much. Studying at the library for a bit." Lauren said.
"You're not going to Hogsmeade tomorrow either?" Ron asked.
"I'm not sure yet. I'm feeling a bit lazy." Lauren smiled.
"Well you should come. Maybe I'll see you around." Ron said.
"Hopefully not." Lauren chuckled, smiling as she left.

She walked back to the dungeons quickly. Once she got there she saw that almost everyone was back.
"How was your visit?" Draco asked walking up to her.

"It was fine. A bit tiring but fine." Lauren sat down.

"Did something happen?" Draco asked sitting next to her. "You usually have fun with your parents."

"We just had a small disagreement, but nothing serious." Lauren explained.
"How was Hogsmeade?" Lauren asked smiling.
"Fun but it would've been better if you were there." Draco said.
"Will you be joining us tomorrow?" Crabbe asked.
"I'm not sure yet." Lauren said.
"You should. It'll be fun. We'll go out to eat and go to stores." Goyle said.
"Come with us." Crabbe said.
"Oh alright I guess I'll come." Lauren said smiling.
"I'll come too." Pansy said walking up to them.
