Pansy Parkinson

Turns out Pansy Parkinson isn't a complete bitch. Ron was back at Hogwarts and after the shit Hermione pulled he wasn't really hanging out with her much. Harry was always sneaking off with Draco so Ron was pretty much left alone. He decided to tell Cedric after all, but Ron was lazy so he'll do it later. Right now he was just outside the castle smoking, and trying not to get caught by anyone. He wasn't so lucky because out came Pansy Parkinson. Ron tensed up and was getting ready to leave as quickly as possible when he heard her say.

"Calm down Ronniekins I'm not here to bully you" she sighed and sat down next to him. She plucked the cigarette from his fingers and looked at it for a second. "These can kill you" she then proceeded to put it in her mouth and taking a huge inhale.

"Are you okay?" Ron was afraid to ask, but he did he wasn't sorted into Gryffindor for no reason. Pansy chuckled sparing him a sideway glance.

"Just peachy"

"You sure?" Pansy huffed now fully facing him. She took his hands and straightener back.

"No! It's the stupid History of Magic teacher!" she handed the cigarette back to Ron who took it back and disregarded the lipstick stains on it.

"Percy?" Ron heard that Percy became the new History of Magic teacher and now a bunch of people love the subject. Pansy nodded with a small smile on her lips. "What about him?"

"Other than the fact that he's basically sex on legs!" Pansy slumped against the wall clutching her books to her chest. Ron cringed.

"Oi! That's my brother!" Pansy lit up.

"Yes! Yes it is! Can you ask him if he likes me?" She grabbed his hands again.

"Sure but he'll probably say no. You're his student" Pansy mumbled a whatever.

"Well what about you? Theo's been watching you a lot these days. Interested?" That surprised Ron. How can anyone be interested in him. Pansy smirked "yes yes Theo is a good looking man. And so are you don't doubt your looks Ronald many girls like you too. Like a Hermione Granger?" Ron scowled at that name. Pansy cocked her head to the side.

"She um... we got into a fight. It was over something stupid, but what she said I... I don't thing I could forgive her."  Pansy nodded and Ron exhaled handing the cigarette back to Pansy.

"Well what did she say?" Ron sighed looking at Pansy.

"She well she said I'm stupid and basically like a sidekick for Harry. She also said something about mygender"

"What about your gender? She said you weren't masculine enough or some shit?" Ron looked at her with a looked that screams 'really?' "What?!"

"You really don't know?"

"No"

"Pansy I'm I'm trans"

"Ok but you're still a man unless your transitioning to a woman" Ron shook his head chucking.

"You're not as bad as I thought Parkinson"

"That mean you'll let me date your brother?"

"One step at a time please" they laughed and Pansy placed her head on Rons shoulder.

"What Hermione did isn't right Ronald. You aren't a sidekick and you're not stupid. Remember that ok. We all have value in this world." Ron nodded subtly eyeing where his self harm marks are.

"Can I tell you something?" Ron asked biting his lip.

"Mhm" Pansy hummed around the cigarette.
