The Tragedy of Pansy

Pansy Parkinson is very, very wet. She looks as though she has been held underwater for the past ten years, and her clothes are sticking to her body as if they were painted on, though not in the way that she generally preferred. She has been standing outside in the rain begging (imagine, a Parkinson begging) for money and offering all manners of things to anyone who passed by. Of course, everyone knows that she is the daughter of supporters of the You-Know-Who-That-Died-(Finally) so no one wants to touch her. As if fucking the daughter of a Death Eater is enough to bring them all back to life.

Across the street, Pansy sees a painfully familiar face, or rather, a painfully familiar head of hair. It isn’t nearly as unruly as it once was, but the rain is making it frizzy in a way that would make any other woman fret with annoyance. But the head of hair across the street could care less about how she looks. She’s too busy looking at Pansy, eyes wide with recognition and, much to Pansy’s anguish, pity. She stares openly, looking as saintly as she has been depicted in legend even though Pansy knows that she’s really just an insufferable know-it-all who likes to throw around her so-called superior morality. But House Elves are living like kings and people like Pansy Parkinson can’t even sell themselves on the street, but still the woman across the street thinks that she helped to save the world.

She finally leaves when her husband loops a hand around her back and leads her away. He does not see Pansy, but then he does not see much at all most times. And Pansy Parkinson is left standing on the other side of the street and the rain keeps coming down so hard it makes her wince. But it is not hard enough to have made her blind to the pity her enemy has given her, and it is enough to make Pansy burn with rage. She is a Parkinson! She will accept no Mudblood’s pity. She scorns it and plots to somehow kill the woman in her sleep or at least cut her hands off so that people won’t stop to kiss them when she walks by.

Then another man comes by and Pansy is all over him like wet clothes and a wet body, and when he turns her away like so many others, Pansy almost wishes that pity was enough to save her.

You really bring the situation to life. I feel sorry for Pansy as well; her scorn is really the only thing she has left. Hermione is much more successful t... (more)
