Chapter 12: Wedding Plans, The One in Norway

"There was also that other woman who had it in for you," Jill said from her seat in Harry's living room speaking to him and his friends. "What was her name? That blonde lady?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Harry paled from his place snuggled up with Draco on the sofa.

"Liar. Who was it?" Hermione asked.

"I'm not saying a word about that," Harry said. "No way in hell am I talking about that."

"She was very beautiful, Harry. Was it Polly? Or Patsy? Patsy wasn't it?" Jill asked. Harry shrugged. Hermione was thinking.

"Pansy?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, that's it. Pansy," Jill said. Harry winced and closed his eyes.

"Pansy?" Draco sat upright and looked to Harry with wide eyes. "Pansy Parkinson?"

"Yes, that's her," Jill said. "Very beautiful woman. Long blonde hair. She was so taken with Harry." The three wizards just watched Harry close his eyes and wait.

"Oh my god," Ron said with a grin. "Harry Potter."

"What? It was...just...forget it," Harry said.

"Pansy Parkinson was after you?" Draco asked. "Oh my god, I cannot believe it."

"Do you all know this lady?" Alton asked.

"Know her? We went to school with her," Draco said. "And, she was my girlfriend for years at school. Isn't that right, Harry?" Draco probed to tease Harry.

"I can't remember," Harry lied.

"You are such a liar. Pansy was after you? I cannot simply believe that," Hermione said. "So what did Pansy do, Jill?"

"I think that Pansy stayed with Harry for a while," Jill said. The three wizards looked to Harry who covered his face with his hands.

"Pansy stayed with you?" Ron asked.

"Um...well, yeah just for a while," Harry said. "It was a humanitarian effort."

"Bullshit," Hermione said. "Harry, did you have sex with Pansy?"

"No," Harry said truthfully. "Absolutely not. I used her for information."

"She was all over you. I remember it," Jill said.

"Jill, could you please go away?" Harry asked. "You have no idea how much trouble you have created for me with these three."

"Pansy Parkinson stayed with you," Draco grinned and then laughed. "Harry, oh god that is the funniest thing I've ever heard."

"She had tons of information and, like a good Slytherin, I took advantage of what she knew," Harry said. "She had all sorts of background on Ministry officials, and her father, like yours, Draco, was a Death Eater. I had access to all their plans through her. I had to keep her around until I had all the stats I needed."

"How long did she stay with you?" Ron asked.

"A little over a month," Harry said. "And then I couldn't take it anymore, so off she went. I sent her away. She thinks it was her idea."
