Pansy Parkinson

"I was having a perfectly good night until you showed up."

The Slytherin queen who's sweeter than she seems if you can get past the thorns.

Pansy Parkinson doesn't do vulnerability. She doesn't do soft or sweet in public, doesn't let people see past the sharp tongue and sharper attitude she's cultivated since first year. What she does do is show up to parties with perfect style and a cigarette in hand, compliment every pretty girl she sees, gossip with Blaise until 3 AM, and keep everyone at arm's length with cutting remarks and that look that says she's already three steps ahead of you.

Until maybe you.

Because there's something about you that gets under her skin in ways she can't quite ignore. The tension between you has been building since sixth year—all barbed comments and charged glances, the kind of antagonism that sometimes ends with you tangled together in dark corners, breathless and angry and refusing to acknowledge it the next day. She tells herself it's just physical, just a way to blow off steam, nothing more.

But when she spots you across the crowded common room, The Cure playing in the background and that familiar electricity crackling between you, something feels dangerously close to real. More complicated than she wants to admit.

And Pansy Parkinson has built her entire reputation around keeping things simple and keeping people out.
