prefect duties || ron & open

Pansy may have been a prefect, but it was times like this she wasn’t particularly a very good one. It wasn’t that she didn’t enjoy patrolling the halls, a giddy smile in sending people off from places she could be that they couldn’t, but today wasn’t that kind of day. She had been spoon fed so much disappointment that they idea of actually doing anything sounded absolutely quite dreadful. So when she was supposed to patrol the halls for people that should be tucked away in bed, she felt she’d have the night free of any questions. And with that in mind, she decided to lay back and enjoy the wave of quiet, cigarette hanging from her lips. All she needed to do was light it and let the smoke surround her and take her far away from Hogwarts and all the bloody disappointment.
But just as the day had been filled with, there was a whole new brand of surprise in store for her. Instead of the quiet and the smoke she so desired, a voice flailed from beyond the hall. Her first instinct was to play dead, maybe she could give one of the prefects a good startle before heading off to yet another hall to hide away in. And while that seemed to be such a lovely scheme, the familiar voice suggested otherwise.
“Go away, Weasley!” her voice yelled, her limbs laying limp in the formation of playing dead on the cold ground. Briefly, she considered that the idea was even worse considering the war that had happened so recently. So quickly, she raised her knees up, looking all the more lively. “I’m bloody perfect. What I need to know is what’s wrong with you?” one brow rose above the other. Pansy of course jumped immediately to defensive, asking questions that should be asked towards her instead. It was a fun characteristic of a girl who ultimately didn’t give a damn, especially with the company she was surrounded by. “You don’t do these types of things, ever. So why you have to go about raining on the parades tonight, huh?”
Ron didn’t know what he expected when he saw the pile of person on the floor, but what he got most certainly wasn’t it. His mouth immediately turned somehow further down on his face and he took a step back, more than displeased at the sight of Pansy Parkinson. He found himself wishing desperately that she weren’t a prefect so he could’ve completely fucked the Slytherin’s points on her merit, but of course, it just wasn’t the case. “What do you mean ‘go away’? This isn’t your bloody hallway, Parkinson, I have just as much right to be here as you.” He said, eyes narrowing slightly with a certain distaste.
He watched her sit up and took yet another step backwards, not particularly wanting her within range to even breathe the same air. “Yeah, I know, I’m a bloody prefect too and this is my job. It’s none of your business what I do with my time or why.” He said, much too stubborn to admit the cause of reason was that he was called out by the headmaster. That would give her some sort of satisfaction, he was sure, and he wanted her to have none of it. She was a slimy little bitch if he were honest, which he most usually was. She might not technically be a death eater, but she was just as bad as someone with the dark mark in his book, especially after that stunt she pulled during the battle. It might’ve been more than a handful of months, but it was still a fresh wound, and she couldn’t escape that poor decision she made.
“I can’t believe you’re asking what’s wrong with me, look at you! You’re lying on fuckin’ floor! You do have a bed, you know that, right, Parkinson?” He said incredulously, his wand still held out with the light glowing from it, his distance casting weird shadows on her face and making her look absolutely horrifying, as if she could get any more disturbing looking. The filthy pug-face was probably exactly where she deserved to be; on the floor with the rats and bugs. “I’d be careful if I were you, wouldn’t want to startle Mrs. Norris. Reckon she doesn’t like dogs much.”
