Chapter 279: The Parkinsons' Fate
One week after the end of the school term.
"Ahh, I can't take it anymore!"
"Calm down, Pansy. I know how you feel, but we must be patient..." Lady Parkinson sighed again.
It had been two weeks since her husband had pulled her daughter from school in a rush, even though there was only one week left to finish, and asked them to stay at the main family manor.
Pansy had to tell her friends that she was going on an early vacation, even when she had no idea what was going on.
"But Mom! How long is this going to take? I can't even contact my friends! What about my plans for the summer?" Pansy had been patient enough during the first days, but after her father had continued to deny her any explanation about why she had to stay locked at home, she was beginning to lose her mind. "Martha!" Pansy called, but no one answered. "Where is the maid?"
"Oh... I'm not sure. She hasn't answered my calls all morning." Aurora Parkinson made a worried expression. "I'm sure your father had her occupied with something." Lord Parkinson only allowed a few selected servants to work at their main manor. But recently, he had sent them all away, except for the Head Maid, Martha, who was left to take care of the meals and some basic cleaning.
"And when is he coming back?" Pansy asked. He didn't return last night as usual.
Lady Parkinson glanced down at the table. "I'm sure... he will be here soon."
"Is this because of what happened that day?" Aurora knew about how those Slytherin seniors tried to use her daughter to lure Potter into Hogsmeade and attack him. She had a good talk with their parents after that, but she wished her husband had done something more, for once. "That was not your fault."
"Harry said that too... but I should never have gone along with those boys! I should have warned Harry earlier..."
"See? He understands. I have only met Mister Potter very briefly, but he seemed like a very mature boy for his age." Lady Parkinson smiled.
"It's not just that. I'm sure that Daphne also likes him..." Pansy said with a depressed tone.
"Greengrass?" Aurora lifted an eyebrow. She was fairly familiar with Lady Greengrass; she was one of the most beautiful women she knew, and for the few occasions where she spotted her eldest daughter, it appeared that she had inherited much from her mother. "Well... a bit of competition won't hurt you."
"Competition?" Pansy looked confused. She never had to compete for anything before.
"You are all still very young. You will have plenty of time to conquer Mister Potter next year. I'll give you some tips!" She suggested.
Pansy's mood seemed to improve after that. "Really? Like what?"
"Mmm... let me think..."
At that moment, they heard the fireplace become ablaze with green flames.
"Dad is here!" Pansy exclaimed.
"How odd... he normally uses the floo from his studio." Aurora stared at the green flames and saw the figure of her husband emerge from it.
But she immediately realized that something was wrong when she saw his face.
"Get your things, we have to leave!" Lord Parkinson screamed, his expression contorted with fear.
