Chapter Thirty Nine

Pansy's Pounce 

The day at the Greengrass estate had gone fast, Bronwyn couldn't lie and say she hadn't enjoyed her time there, most of it had been wonderful. The time she spent with Daphne now that was amazing, and she could see the heiress really getting along with her presetablished friendship group. And the others had mostly kept their distance from the blonde and the redhaired witches. But of course it was Pansy Parkinson and she still required to be the centre of attention. But she was easy to tune out. That was until a late evening lunch, if you could even call it that, was brought out for the teens to enjoy. And all of a sudden the nicely split groups were all back together again. It was clear when they all joined around a large table that there had been established seating plans for years, their entire friendship by the seems of it. And all of a sudden Bronwyn was very quickly reminded that she was indeed an outsider to the group, to all of them other than two. And she would have to find a place to fit in, or whatever place was available. Sure she had made quick friends with Daphne, it was hard not to and her friendship group did lack a platinum blonde, but she was unsure if she would be able to do so with many of the others suddenly gathered. 

So Bronwyn remained stood watching as everyone took seats around her, waiting until she saw a potential spot for herself. Determined to not be an awkward little doll, like she felt herself to be in that moment. And as the others sat she noted that there were clear spaces left around the table. A space between Pansy and Tracy one which Bronwyn was uncertain who it was supposed to be for, to her knowledge there was not another teenaged girl missing. The one between Pansy and Theo that was clearly for Draco Malfoy. It was essentially the head of the table seat as well, so there was no surprise as to where the pompous brat would be sat. Yet other than those two seats Bronwyn could not figure out for the life of her where she was supposed to go, Daphne had her seat beside Theo, next to her was Crabbe. Goyle sat opposite his best friend and Tracy was next to Blaise. Astoria had disappeared inside a little while ago and was not joining the older teens. 

Blaise sighed out, he knew his friends were set in their traditions and rather adverse to change but he would have thought that some of them would have been more open to moving around the strange oval table to make space for a new comer. Rather he turned his attention to Tracey Davis beside him, a girl he didn't really specifically like nor dislike. He made a pointed effort to look at the spare seat between her and Pansy, one which he couldn't even recall who was supposed to be sitting there, before looking back at the teenaged girl. Repeating this action twice was enough for the girl to get the message and move along a seat. This was enough for him to take his attention back to his girl and beckon her over. Knowing one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, that she would build the confidence within herself to do this exact same thing. Be even more vocal about it, to get what she wanted. But for now, whilst she was taking her time to get to that point he would do whatever necessary, for it wouldn't be a forever layout not if he had his way. In the years to come the witch he loved would be the fully developed version of herself, the one of which her toad like mother had bashed until it hid. 

Bronwyn quickly took the now vacated seat at the table, her body trying not to convey the shock at what she had just witnessed. Blaise had a lot more power over his friends than she realised, and it didn't scare her at all. Rather in this exact moment, she found it incredibly attractive. Not as attractive as watching him knock Malfoy out with a single punch but it wasn't far off. His power was sexy, even if it was in such a small way. Now sat, she reached out with her left hand to gently brush against his arm, a silent thanks for what he had done for her, yet before she could pull it back he was quick to capture her hand in his own. Blaise brought her left hand to his mouth pressing a kiss to the newly gifted ring upon her finger. A promise to her and a showing to those around them.
