Over the next few months, Pansy settled into Wentworth.  As the days got shorter, the group that ate breakfast outside grew. Harry Ginny joined Hermione and Ron. They cast warming charms on the terrace and pretended not to notice when Pansy started contributing to their discussions. On the days that Pansy saw her Mind Healer, the others learnt to give her space, but the days afterwards were the ones where she reached out more than before. By the start of December, Pansy was just another member of the DA crowd, and had softened considerably towards everyone. Hermione, Ginny, and Pansy got on particularly well - it was nice to have other women to talk to. Ron seemed to be the only one Pansy could put up with on a Mind Healer day. He would often just sit down next to her with a "Hey, Parks.’ and read over reports until she processed whatever she needed to.
