Ron walked into Draco’s office building and was shown in right away. “Take a look at this.” He said handing Draco the letter and taking a seat.
After reading Draco looked up at him. “What jewelry is she talking about?”
“She gave me a necklace, a men’s ring, a few sets of cufflinks, about six pairs.” He closed his eyes, thinking as he went through the list. “She gave me an earring, a pocket watch, and then some other things that weren’t jewelry, but I sold them anyway.”
“Like what?” Draco was taking notes as he spoke.
“She gave me an office set, gold letter opener and matching quills and ink bottles.” He answered.
“Did you sell them all on the same place?” He asked.
“Yes. I have receipts for all of them.” He reached into his robes and pulled out a small bundle. Draco did some quick arithmetic while Ron waited.
“Does she know how much you got for all of it?” He asked.
“I don’t even know how she found out I sold it all.” Ron answered.
“She never made any mention of this before so I don’t think anything will come of it. She accepted the offer of her own jewelry since they were gifts so even if the Ministry comes into the situation I can always demand she sell her jewelry and split the profits.” He waved the letter aside as if it was nothing. “I’ll handle this.”
“Good.” Ron was always assured. Draco had handled the divorce with cunning and he would handle this the same way.
“How are you doing?” He asked, leaning back in his chair. “I got the letter with your new address. You went back to the country.”
“Yes, I always liked the country, free air, flying space, nature. I love it.” He said. “I ran into Pansy there.”
“Yeah, she always been a nature girl.” Draco said.
“What happened with her ex?” Ron asked, sitting up slightly. “She mentioned she needed you to handle it for her.”
“Yeah, he was being a real shit with her, demanding that she meet him. He was a real Neanderthal. His way and his woman would do what he said. I had to threaten him with an order from the Ministry before he eased up on her. He finally got the message.”
“I had lunch with her this afternoon.” He said offhandedly.
“Really?” Draco said lifting an eyebrow.
“It was just lunch, nothing more.” Ron said.
“Really?” The eyebrow hadn’t moved.
“Yes really. It was just lunch.” He said, but he knew Draco would think what he thought. “Any word on the payment going through?” He asked.
Draco just smiled at him. “Yes, we should have word soon. Gringotts just needs to confirm that the money is secured in her account.”
“So you’ll let me know what happens with that?” He asked motioning to the letter.
“Yes, if she tries to contact you directly, send her to me.” Draco told him.
Ron nodded, then left for home. He had wanted to marry Sara so much but now he couldn’t wait to be free of her. She had turned his life upside down in a matter of days. She had gone to every man in creation and now that he offered her freedom, she was trying to hang on as long as she could. He had no idea what was wrong with her.
He went home and tried to focus on his new design but he couldn’t concentrate. He threw on his cloak and went outside. Taking walks at night was something he had been denied in the city. There was no moonlit nature to calm ones nerves or relax the soul. This was something he liked and he was going to do it often.
“I said let go.” The female voice was firm and Ron found himself looking through a nearby glen for the source.
“I just want to talk that’s all.” The male voice was calm, but Ron couldn’t ignore the female who obviously wanted no part of him. She was pulling on her arm, but the man was holding it in a strong grip.
“Excuse me.” The couple turned and faced him. The blood rushed to Ron’s face. “Pansy?”
“Yes Ron.” The grip had loosened and Pansy rushed to Ron’s side. Ron was looking at the man she had left. “Ron,” she said, “this is Allen, my ex-boyfriend.”
“I see.” Ron looked him square in the eye. “Draco’s warning didn’t stick did it?” He asked.
Allen looked from Ron to Pansy. “What did she tell you? Better yet, who are you?”
“A friend.” He said.
“Me and Ron went to Hogwart’s together.” Pansy said.
“Draco gave you fair warning to stay away from her or he would take action. Is it going to get to that point?” Ron asked.
“What business is it of yours?” Allen asked.
“Like I said, I’m a friend.” He told the other man. Ron knew he was no threat. He was lanky and the same height, but had no strength or firmness. He looked as if he spent more time combing that light brown hair then in keeping fit.
“How close of a friend?” He asked looking over at Pansy.
“Not that close Allen, I haven’t even seen Ron since he moved here a few days ago.” Pansy told him.
“You have a high opinion of her don’t you?” Ron asked with malice dripping from his voice.
“I suppose you have a pristine opinion of her?” Allen challenged.
“As a matter of fact I do. Pansy is exceptional.” He said. “Now I suggest you leave her be before Draco Malfoy begins a new case.” He took Pansy’s arm in his and walked her away.
“Thank you so much.” Pansy said leaning on his arm.
“Has he always man handled you like that?” Ron asked, walking her to his house, and letting her inside.
“No, I always talked to him before, I’ve never had need to ignore him before.” She took a seat in his armchair. “This was the first I’ve seen him since I asked Draco to talk with him.”
“Has he sent you any letters?” Ron asked pouring them a drink.
“Concerned Ron?” She asked taking the glass.
“Yes, I am. He shouldn’t be treating you like that.” Ron told her sitting down in another chair.
“Well, he never has, so I haven’t had reason to be worried.” She said.
“You need to get Draco on this.” Ron said firmly. “He had to start that action now.”
“I will speak to him. Does that make you feel better?” She said.
“Yes it does.” He said. “I’ll mention it to him as well.”
“Ron, you don’t have to do that.” She said.
“I want him to know what I saw, he may need it later.” Ron told her setting aside his wine.
“You think like him.” Pansy said with a smile.
“I guess after watching him with my own case, I’ve learned a thing or two.”
“I think we all have.” She said with a chuckle.
“Would he have gone to your home?” Ron asked.
“I doubt it. He saw me leave in your direction.” She said.
“Why not just use the floo to go home.” He offered. “If he ends up going there later use the floo to come back here no matter what time it is.”
“I don’t think it will come to that.” She said, standing.
“Regardless, come here if he shows up.” Ron said, walking her to the floo.
“Alright, if it will make you feel better, I’ll come here.” She said, stepping into the floo. “Thanks Ron.”
“You’re welcome.” He said and watched her vanish. He asked his house elf to go to her house and see if Allen had shown up. The elf was gone for thirty minutes before he returned. Ron relaxed when the devoted little creature said that nobody had shown up and the lights had all gone off soon after she arrived.
Ron still planned to go to Draco with what he had seen. A man who was that controlling and thought nothing of handling her that way was a step away from violence. He’d feel better once Draco started legal action.
He finished his drink then went to bed.
