Re: Dock by the lake

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy headed out of the castle to sit by the lake a while and think. She saw Blaise by the lake, and nearly turned around and headed back in, or skirted her way around the lake to a more hidden spot, but sucked it up and headed down to her original destination, a little away from him. She sat down in the grass and crossed her legs out in front of her, staring silently at the glassy water.

[Blaise Zabini]

The he spotted her... "Pansy!" He stormed over to her, note in hand. "How dare you?! How dare you?!"He seethed, unable to not notcie her beauty radiating.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy stood up as an angry Blaise approached her. She looked at him, confused. "What are you talking about?" She honestly had no idea what could have made him so angry other than her telling him whatever they'd had was over, but he seemed to have been a little more accepting of that yesterday.

[Blaise Zabini]

"How about this?" He chucked the letter into her lap. "First you break up with me to help me, then this? I can't believe it. You ... of all people."

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy took a few steps toward him, holding her letter. "This was for Dee, why do you have it?" She pointedly avoided his question, finding no reason to have to answer it.

[Blaise Zabini]

"I. was. with. her" He leant forwards looming over her. "How could you do that? Choose who helps me get over you. I thought you were better than that. Understood me better. Why?!" He demanded.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Though he was much taller than her, she didn't back down. Pansy straightened up as tall as she could make herself before answering him. "I wasn't trying to choose someone to get you over me. I just wanted someone to make sure you were okay. Because I actually do care about you, believe it or not."

[Blaise Zabini]

"You care about me? Care about me? If you cared about me you would not have done this. You would have left me the hell alone! You've done enough!" He fumed at her.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

"ME. Leave you alone? I'm not the one who kept coming back! I'm not the one who started this whole thing. Not the one who was confessing love left and right and... you know what. I'll take your advice. You'll never have to talk to me again." She turned to leave, to find somewhere by the lake she could sit alone. She didn't need this, not right now.

[Blaise Zabini]

"Fine! Just stay the hell away from me." And with that Blaise stormed off, more confused than ever.

[Ginny Weasley]

Dom walks out to the dock and collapses at the end. Everything was just all...wrong. Terrible. Fucking terrible. She had begun to start to love the baby and the idea of having it, even if she went behind James back to keep it. Now, nothing. Just a whole bunch of fucked up relationships because of one stupid prank.

[James Potter - Inactive]

James took a nice stroll along the lake and saw Dom. Funny how these things happen. "Why, Dom," he said, "you look spectacularly baby-less. Did you do something to your hair?" WHOA. SO NOT WHY YOU'RE HERE. He shook his head, rubbed his eyes, and plopped down next to Dom. "That's - uh - not what I came to say..." he started. "I wanted to say, er, that I'm sorry for... you know... being a dick... earlier..."

[Ginny Weasley]

"It's fine, whatever," she sighs looking out at the water. "And yeah, baby-less sums it up," she says biting her lip to prevent herself from tearing up. "It was all just a fucking prank. I no good, fucking prank. Don't worry, you can now move through life guilt free and whore it up without thinking about having knocked me up."

[James Potter - Inactive]

James was a little shocked. "A prank? Well that's no good, even the Weasley twins have thought up better and we all know they're not quite... Wait, hey don't cry!" He slipped his arm around her, being all smooth and comforting because he's James Potter and that's how he do. "I mean, well, look at the bright side. You can have your life back and now people will want to touch you and... the baby's... gone..." The baby. What would have been his baby. A small, alive human being he could have held in his arms. "Well, okay, so the bright side is somewhat dampened but still..."

[Ginny Weasley]

"Gods, but there's no baby and everything is still fucked up!" she cries then leans into James. "I d-didn't mean to k-kiss Fabian. I l-like Dean. I really, really, f-fucking like Dean. Not anybody else. Now h-he's going to h-hate me for not c-controlling myself, and the only one that would have l-loved me would have been the baby. The fake baby!"

[James Potter - Inactive]

James stroked his thumb over Dom's shoulder, not really sure what to say. He settled with soft "shh"ing noises and hugged her tight. He felt like there was nothing he could do. Did Dom just need to cry? Should he be saying something here? When would he be able to leave? Ye gods why was he thinking about leaving Dom like this?! Stop thinking! Stop it!

[Ginny Weasley]

She wipes her eyes and calms herself when she realizes that James isn't saying anything and she is just rambling on and on. "Sorry," she says giving him a small smile. "Here I am crying while you're feeling inexplicable relief." She pulls away from him and glances over at him. "Just....thanks," she says softly.

[James Potter - Inactive]

He nodded slowly. "Sorry, again, for the other day... I was a real jerkass..." He scratched the back of his head looking kind of sheepish. He felt like even more of a jerk now that he saw Dom was so broken up about the whole thing.

[Ginny Weasley]

"It's...okay," she says hesitantly. "I mean, you're a seventeen year old guy who is known for getting with girls. What did I really expect," she says with a small chuckle. "Once again though, you reacted loads better than that arsewipe you call your best friend. Thanks, for dealing with all this," she says giving him a small smile.

[James Potter - Inactive]

"It's...okay," she says hesitantly. "I mean, you're a seventeen year old manly man who is manly and is known for getting with girls. What did I really expect," she says with a small chuckle. "Once again though, you reacted loads better than that arsewipe you call your best friend. Thanks, for dealing with all this," she says giving him a small smile.

James gave a little smile back. "Sirius is a douchebag but he's not all bad... some of the time... maybe..." He narrowed his eyes in deep contemplation. "Right, yes, Sirius isn't completely all bad... right?"

[Ginny Weasley]

Dom finds herself snorting in disbelief. "Your friend is a complete douche and a manwhore," she says rolling her eyes. "I mean, I bet he's off with some set of blonde twins in a broom closet as we speak. That's just who he is. No concern for people and their feelings, unless they are really close to him. Like you, Remus, and Peter."

[James Potter - Inactive]

James shrugged. "Then I'll beat some sense to him and force him to make public apologies. This is how life with Sirius goes. You go along having a great time until you realize your cat is missing and it turns out Sirius traded it for a pigeon because he thought they'd make better letter carriers than owls... Speaking of... I want my cat back..."

[Ginny Weasley]

Dom laughs lightly at what James says. "I suppose I just need to see that humorous side of him. I suppose he really isn't that bad. I think I like to tell myself he is a lot worse than he really is," she shrugs. "I dunno, just in comparison to the other Marauder's, he's at the bottom to me."

[James Potter - Inactive]

"Yeah..." James narrowed his eyes and stood up. "But he still stole my cat, and I want it back. So I'm going to go find him. You going to be okay?"

[Ginny Weasley]

"Yeah, I'm fine," she says giving him a reassuring smile. "Thanks James, I'll....I'll see you around I guess." She watches as he leaves, then gets up from the dock and heads back to towards the lake.
