Letters to Lovers
Chapter 5 The Parchment
Pansy?
Ron?
Yes it’s me, I thought this might be a good idea.
It’s a great idea.
Still nervous?
A little.
Yeah, me too. I saw the black owl again. Did Ian write?
Yes he did. He was actually confused.
Why?
He said I was so reluctant to end things, and I was very happy when we were together, he didn’t understand why I wouldn’t want to try again.
Typical thick git. He thinks he’s such a catch that you’ll jump at the chance to take him back. Did you write back?
Not yet?
Are you going to?
Do you think I should?
It’s not my call but I think one last letter might be called for. Just to tell him that you’ve moved on and what he said was right when he mentioned that the distance would be too much. And studies are taking up a lot of time.
Do you think he’d believe it?
Maybe if you let slip that you’d return anymore owls.
I guess. I won’t send it for a few days.
Good idea.
So what do we talk about now, Ron.
Well actually…..
Yes?
I spoke with Professor Lupin about your patronus.
And?
He told me that a paronus shape usually has something to do with the memory used.
It does?
Yeah, like Harry’s is a stag. He used a memory of his father, and his father’s animagus form is a stag, so that’s the form it took. What memory did you use?
Pansy, are you still there?
Yes I’m here?
Did I go too far?
No I suppose I’m a little embarrassed.
You don’t have to tell me.
I used you.
Me? What do you mean?
When you ran into a potions door. You told me that you did it for me. It made me feel special when I was so depressed. I used that memory.
Really?
Yes really, are you mad?
No, you should see me now, I’m blushing and grinning like a fool.
You just made me laugh.
Good, I like your laugh.
When have you heard it?
That same day and the door incident.
But everyone was laughing.
I know but I was only listening for yours.
You were?
Yes.
I’m not sure what to say to that?
You don’t have to say anything.
Why are you doing this?
Doing what?
Trying to make me laugh? Buying this so we could talk? Defending me when someone says something?
Don’t you think you deserve it? I do.
But why?
Ron are you there?
I’m here.
You didn’t say anything?
I know.
Are you going to tell me?
Not right now.
Why not?
I’m getting tired and I don’t want to botch it up. Maybe we should go to bed now.
Alright.
Goodnight Pansy, all you have to do is roll up the parchment and it will clear. We can use it as many times as we want.
Alright, goodnight Ron.
