The Strongest Signal of All

PANSY BRAMES TALKS!!!!!!!

By Editor Luna Lovegood



I entered the home of Ron Weasley and was welcomed warmly. Pansy has been recuperating at her ex husbands home since she was released from custody and the charges against her dropped.



The circumstances regarding her arrest started with a visit from Pansy’s former sister in law Ginny Potter. While they spoke the knowledge that letters traded between the two had not been received in either direction.



When Pansy confronted her husband that evening he became violent. Healer Neville Longbottom examined her in Azkaban and recorded several broken bones and facial injuries, as well as evidence of spousal rape.



The beatings continued through the evening. James Brames reset his security wards and apparition charms on his home to his signature only. Pansy was trapped in her own home. Injured with several broken bones, the house elf was only allowed to give her pain potion, but no healing drought. Too weak and in too much pain to try any escape, she sat all day waiting for her husband’s return.



“I tried to get him to take me to a healer but he refused.” Pansy told the Quibbler in her exclusive interview. “He told me I was his property and he would treat his property as he wished.”



Pansy refused to relent and badgered him to take her to get medical attention. Brames flew into a rage and grabbed his wife by the throat, choking her against the kitchen counter.



“I grabbed about with both hands searching for something, anything that would get him away from me.”



While Pansy was being choked, her hand felt upon a knife and she acted. “I wasn’t aiming for anything. In all honesty, I was hoping to injure him enough to get him to release me. It wasn’t until after I was free that I saw the knife was embedded completely.”



Auror Harry Potter confirmed the knife entered in through the rib cage area and killed him. The house elf summoned the aurors and Pansy was taken into custody.



Hermione Granger took over council when she heard about Pansy’s arrest the next morning, after she had been taken to Azkaban. Neville Longbottom was brought in to administer treatment and Pansy was soon moved to St. Mungo’s, where she stayed under ministry restraints, until the ministry cited self defense and ordered her release.



Pansy now stays with ex husband Ron Weasley at the home she shared with him as his wife. Still under the treatment of healer Longbottom, Pansy Brames is making remarkable progress. Her physical injuries have healed and she is now focusing on healing emotionally.



Healer Longbottom told the Quibbler that being injured as she was made the effects of Azkaban worse. Pansy’s depression and fears were intensified by her brief stint in the prison and as a result speaks with healer Longbottom on fears brought out by the dementors.



“I’m not going crazy, I’m not mental, I’m just afraid more then ever. Things that were easy to deal with now frighten me.” Pansy has yet to leave the house since she arrived, upset at her ex husband being harassed by those wishing to hear her story.



As to her feelings about her ex husband, Pansy says she regrets ever instigating divorce to begin with. “I made a horrible mistake leaving Ron. A childish selfish mistake and am still dealing with issues of guilt. While I was in Azkaban and St. Mungo’s I thought that what James did to me was punishment for how I treated Ron. I thought I was paying for my mistake. It was a hard way to make me realize what a wonderful man I had when I married Ron.”



Ron himself wants nothing more then to assist his former spouse in any way he can. “I love Pansy, I never stopped loving Pansy. She needs me right now and I’m going to be there.”



With a second chance at a happy relationship Pansy has focused on her recovery. “Being raped by my own husband was the most horrible experience I have ever gone through. I don’t know how long it will take me to get through this, but it’s a refreshing thought to know that I have wonderful people to help me.”



Pansy doesn’t need potions anymore and is affected less and less as days go by. “Talking about what happened to me and getting things out in the open has helped a lot. More than I thought it would.”



Admitting that she made a mistake with her ex husband, Pansy admits she would love the chance to rekindle her relationship with him, but has decided to take the time needed. Ron has agreed to let her set the pace for the future.



“Pansy knows how I feel. I will always be here for her, and always protect her. But for now she can take all the time she needs. I will be waiting for her when she’s ready.”

Pansy set the parchment down and looked at Luna sitting across from her. “This is well written. Nothing like Skeeter would have written.”



“Skeeter writes for the big headlines, I write the facts. There is enough drama in the world without journalist making things worse then they are.” She sipped her coffee. “Do you agree with it? If not, tell me what to change.”



“Nothing. This is good.” She handed the parchment back. “Do you think it will work for you?”



“Yes, I do. This is the only paper with your interview and its all mine.” Pansy smiled at her. “Do you want any owls that come in? Do you want me to screen them?”



“If you can screen them, then send them after your done.”



“Is it alright with you if I print responses?” Pansy nodded. “I won’t print anything malicious, if it’s a negative letter I’ll only print the ones written from a decent objective angle.”



Pansy had to smile. “Wouldn’t it make for good reading if you printed both sides of the replies?”



“Yes, but I print what I want to print.” Luna grinned at her, then with a hug, took her leave.



The article would be in the morning paper. The Sunday paper was always the biggest seller. She was touched by Ron’s words. He loved her, but she knew that. Ron told her countless times that he never stopped loving her.



He hadn’t seen the article yet, but he said he didn’t need to. The article was about her and it was hers to approve. He would be home soon. Pansy had a proposition for him. She was nervous but she knew he would listen. She also knew that all the power was in her hands. That made her more comfortable asking him for what she wanted.
