Action Scene: Pansy Floos Draco
Always a light sleeper, Pansy covered her head with one of her pillows and tried to drift off again. The steady tapping on the door of her dorm was really starting to irritate her. Lazily, she reached for her wand, lying on the table next to her bed. For a moment, she considered blasting the door to get at the owl behind it, but settled for opening it instead. When the large bird landed on the foot of her bed, he turned and looked pointedly away from her, disgruntled at being made to wait so long before being allowed to deliver his letter. As cranky as she was at being woken up by the persistent owl, she couldn't blame him for being cranky in return. His beak must be sore, all the tapping he did. With a sigh, Pansy threw back her covers, shivering a little, and untied the letter. The bird didn't even wait for his treat before flying back out of the room. Pansy reckoned the owls had been awfully busy the last few days; all those letters of sympathy, not to mention those who were still looking for lost loved ones. It was with a feeling of cold dread that Pansy opened the letter in her hand.

She sighed heavily when she recognized Draco's handwriting. Pansy knew that he was at the Manor, but little more than that. She'd been waiting for days to hear from him--that he was okay and when he was going to come back to her. The weight of it had been exhausting, and she'd spent most of her time in bed since the Battle, seeing no real reason to be anywhere else. She finished and folded the letter from Draco and sat quietly for a minute. "That was rather anticlimactic, I'd say," she said absently. Pansy still didn't know anything more than she had two days ago. There was a lot that Draco hadn't told her, but that was certainly about to change.

Pansy pulled a silky robe around her shoulders and made her way into the common room, hardly paying attention to what she was doing as she made to contact Draco by Floo. "Looking stunning, is he? Not when I get through with him," she fumed.
