A/N: Didn’t know if you wanted fem or male reader so I made it fem since I mainly write that. Enjoy!
~Master List~
“Why does Potions have to be so hard!” You yelled as you threw yourself back onto your bed. Millicent laughed as she turned to look at your distressed state.
“You know, you could get a tutor.” She said as you groaned even more, sliding off the bed and onto the ground.
“Ow.” You grumbled as your hand stuck a piece of the bed sticking out. You laid limp on the floor staring at the little cut on your hand as you poked your head over Pansy’s bed which settled between yours and Millicent’s. “Millie, I’m bleeding.” You informed her as she looked up from her book to you. The door swung open as a brown haired girl emerged, looking at you sitting on the ground holding a cut hand over her bed. She smirked and leaned onto the doorframe, facing you.
“You’re bleeding. On my floor.” You rolled your eyes, standing up and being sure not to get blood on anything.
“Oh really Parkinson? I truly hadn’t noticed.” You sassed, glaring at the girl. She laughed a little before walking past you and planting herself on her bed. You cleaned up the cut using a simple spell before wrapping it up, deciding not to bother Madam Pomfrey with it.
“You should really get that bed fixed Y/N.” Millie said as you nodded and gave your bed a swift kick. Pansy laughed as you turned to her raising a brow.
“Something funny?” You questioned, crossing your arms. She shrugged and ignored your question, choosing instead to turn to Millicent who was glancing between you and Pansy.
“Pansy can tutor you!” She yelled as you doubled over in laughter, throughly believing she was joking until both of them stared at you, Millie mainly in confusion and Pansy in amusement.
“Something funny?” Pansy copied as you stopped laughing and widened your eyes when you looked between them. Your mouth dropped open as Pansy scoffed, standing up to come close to you. “You don’t have to be an ass to get my attention.” She joked as you met your eyes. There was no way Pansy Parkinson was open to tutoring you, especially since all she seems to do is tease you about not understanding anything.
“You’re joking right? You’d actually tutor me Parkinson?” You took a step closer to her as she gulped, taking a subtle glance down to the floor before locking eyes with you again.
“Do you need help?” She asked dragging out her words like you were a child. You glared at her, pursing her lips before you let your shoulders sag and head drop.
“Yes.” You admitted as Pansy smirked, falling back into her bed. You followed suit as you plopped into your own, pushing the books to the edge of the bed before retiring for the night.
It wasn’t the idea of studying with Pansy that made you nervous, it was the idea of spending so much time next to her and working close to her. Whenever you were around her long enough your stomach went crazy with butterflies and you never want to look away. Needless to say, you liked her, and you were more than worried about her finding out.
Pansy was able to help you the next day, so you packed up all of your things and headed down to the library. Pansy was waiting by the time you got down there, reading through her own potion book before you slammed your books down on top of the table, watching them topple over before Pansy turns her attention up to you.
“I thought you needed help with Potions?” She said as she picked up your books for Potions as well as Divination and Transfigurations. You gave her a sheepish grin before taking the seat next to her.
“Look, is awful at school. You know it, I know it, hell even bloody Potter knows it. I could really use the extra help.” You begged as she glared at you.
“Leave, preferably before I kill you.” She faked sneered as you threw your hands up and let them smack the desk with a thud.
“Parkinson Please! I’d owe you!” You begged as she groaned, thinking over your offer for a minute. She looked at you one last time as you dropped the pouty face you were giving her. “Pansy I’m not begging. You said you’d tutor me in potions why can’t that include a few other classes as well. Look, I buy you whatever you want at Hogsmeade next time we go.” She finally gave into your begging but not before enjoying the one time she had ever seen you beg. You took a seat next to her as she picked up the books, putting them in piles as you watched her face. Her eyes darted through the titles before finding the one she wanted and flipping it open.
“Ok, ready to start?” She said knocking you back into reality.
“Yep, Yes. Ready.” You shouted as you whipped your attention towards the books. Pansy looked up catching sight of your reddish cheeks and wide eyes, smiling to herself. She watched you pull out your wand, helping you with the movements as you bit your lip, trying to get the feeling down.
Study “dates” often mirror those moments, little times you both stared at the other when you weren’t looking and Pansy was more than willing to help you with any school work you had. Millicent thought there was some underlying reason Pansy was doing it but she couldn’t come up with something. Draco though was the only that really got your head spinning. You were sitting next to him, sharing a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans when Pansy entered the room. She glanced at Draco, giving him a small smile before seeing you and her lips doubled. She waved and you returned the gesture, watching her leave the room as Draco smirked.
“You gonna tell her?” He quipped causing you to furrow your brows.
“Tell her what?”
Draco rolled his eyes, finishing off the box before paying attention to you. “That you fancy her.” You were about to object before he cut you off. “I think she fancies you too. I mean when was the last time you heard my name come out of her mouth?”
“Don’t tease me Malfoy.” You threatened as he threw his hands up in surrender. You ignored his amused eyes as you went to your dorm, pulling back the door to see Pansy sitting in her bed.
“Wanna study in here? I don’t feel like getting up.” She offered as you laughed, nodding your head and moving your stuff onto her bed. You both sat in front of her, the pile of books in between you two as Pansys smile dropped a little. “Why don’t you sit up here? It’s easier to read that way.” She scooted over and allowed you to fill the small empty spot next to her. Studying didn’t last long before you were both messing around, trying to do anything but the actual work. You told her a joke you overheard from a group of first years as you both barked out a laughter, clinging to each other in fear of falling off the bed. When you both finally felt like you could breathe again, Pansy took a look at you.
She was so close that when you turned to face her your noses brushed and her lips were mere centimeters away from yours. Your stomach did a flip as you both stilled, only moving your eyes up to each other’s before slowly letting them close. Her lips hit yours in a matter of seconds and you kissed back, yet it left you wanting, more like needing, more when she pulled away almost as soon as they touched. She stared straight ahead, trying to control her breathing once again as you were met with the side of her face. Without a second thought your hand was on her chin, turning her head to face yours for the second time before you put your lips together, savoring the feeling in you from her lips on yours.
“That was... wow.” You muttered as your cheeks turned the pink color Pansy likes on you. She tangled her fingers with yours, giving you a smirk.
“Feel free to do it again.” Hell, you didn’t need to be told twice!
How’d I do?

Will Republicans Do The Right Thing

Will Republicans Do The Right Thing
Tumblr media
Opinion: Cmon Republicans Its Time To Do The Right Thing On Health Care
Republicans Still Have Time To Do The Right Thing, Says Congresswoman | Morning Joe | MSNBC
When they went home for the July 4th recess, Republican members of Congress did one of two things: Either they met with constituents and were pummeled with angry questions about their disastrous health-care bill, or they hid out, trying to avoid their constituents so that they wouldnt be pummeled with angry questions about their disastrous health-care bill. Predictably, support for the bill among Republican senators is slipping away, which is not surprising given that this is the most unpopular piece of legislation in the history of polling.
So the time has come for Republicans to cut their losses and do the right thing. It wont be easy, but there are no easy options left for them.
Republicans need to admit to themselves that there is no great victory to be had. There will be political fallout no matter what the 2018 elections are going to be brutal but their choice now is between passing nothing, passing a bill that is so dreadful that it wins them the undying rage of the public, or a compromise that actually helps solve some of the problems they profess to care about.
What Republicans need to do now is drop the idea of repealing the Affordable Care Act and join together with Democrats to fix the problems in the individual market. Its not what they hoped for, but its a lot better than the alternative for everyone.
Trump Posts Video Condemning Capitol Violence But Does Not Mention His Role In Instigating It
Within hours of becoming the first president to be impeached twice, President Trump posted afive-minute video on a White House Twitter account on Wednesday evening condemning the storming of the Capitol complex by his supporters last week and urged his followers to avoid a repeat in the coming days both here in Washington and across the country.
Mr. Trump recorded the video under pressure from aides, who have warned him that he faces potential legal exposure for the riot, which occurred immediately after a speech in which he urged them to fight the results of the election, which he falsely claimed was stolen.
The president did not mention his own role in instigating the violence last week. On Tuesday, he defended the remarks he made at a rally before his supporters marched to the Capitol as totally appropriate and said the effort by Congress to impeach and convict him was causing tremendous anger.
He also did not acknowledge the loss of life or his own false claims of the election being stolen in the two months before the rally last week.
In the video, president did not mention the five people who died as a result of the violence at the Capitol. But he did go further in his language than he has at any point, as law enforcement is bracing for new insurgencies in Washington and around the country next week.
During the riot by his supporters, a Capitol Police officer sustained extensive head injuries and later died.
Michael Gold contributed reporting.

The Pentagon Will Arm National Guard Troops Deploying To The Capitol For The Inauguration
National Guard troops who are flooding into Washington to secure the Capitol for Inauguration Day will be armed, the Army secretary, Ryan McCarthy, has decided, Defense Department officials said Tuesday.
The armed troops will be responsible for security around the Capitol building complex, the officials said.
As up to 20,000 troops continued to arrive in Washington from all over the country, Defense Department officials had been weighing whether to deploy them with arms. Mr. McCarthy has decided that at the very least those around the Capitol building will carry weapons, said the officials, who confirmed the decision on the condition of anonymity.
Mr. McCarthys decision came after a meeting with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California. Ms. Pelosi, according to congressional staff members, demanded that the Pentagon take a more muscular posture after a mob, egged on by President Trump last week, breached the Capitol.
Pentagon officials say they are deeply worried about protests that are planned for the inauguration of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. next week. About 16 groups some of them saying they will be armed and most of them made up of hard-line supporters of Mr. Trump have registered to stage protests in Washington, officials said.
Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington sent a letter to Mr. Trump on Sunday asking for an emergency declaration to obtain additional funding for inauguration security.

Opinionmy Fellow Republicans Please Do The Right Thing And Back An Impeachment Inquiry
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On Tuesday, Romney finally had some company. He was joined by the same four colleagues Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Susan Collins of Maine and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania who also joined him in November in acknowledging Joe Biden’s victory and standing steadfast in opposition to outlandish claims that the election was rigged or stolen.
Murkowski denounced Trump for having “perpetrated false rhetoric that the election was stolen and rigged, even after dozens of courts ruled against these claims.” Sasse said Trump didn’t have any evidence to back up his claims of election fraud, “and neither do the institutional arsonist members of Congress who will object to the Electoral College vote.”

Or Will They Go Down With The Ship
It isnt just Texas watching, its all of America, its all of the World. Texans are angry. And it isnt just those Austin Democrats, its everyone. Tomorrow, Greg Abbott is likely to announce his plan to open up Texas. His relationship with Trump is about to hit a whole new level. Texas Republicans have the chance to do the right thing. If they dont, they will go down with the ship.
Tonight, there is a story on KVUE about House Democrats urging Greg Abbott to take action before opening businesses. The House Democratic caucus is calling on Gov. Abbott to do four things before easing social distancing rules:;
Increase COVID-19 testing
Provide more personal protective equipment to healthcare workers
Increase transparency on long-term care facilities/nursing homes

One would think that with his retirement and entry into the private sector, he has nothing to lose in doing so. ;

Opinion: On The Debt Ceiling Democrats Must Do The Right Thing If The Gop Wont
In an ideal world, the United States might not have run up a debt of more than $28 trillion; in the real world, it has. Another less-than-ideal reality is the 104-year-old law that periodically bars the Treasury Department from borrowing more funds to cover previously approved outlays without a new act of Congress. The debt ceiling creates periodic political tension on Capitol Hill, because, although senators and representatives find it politically beneficial to vote for tax cuts and spending increases, voting yes or no on passing the bill to future generations creates nothing but political hassles.
Another such moment is in the offing, because there has been massive spending and borrowing much of it necessary to cope with the unforeseen covid-19 pandemic but no new debt limit since Aug. 1, 2019, when the limit was suspended for two years. Since the end of July, therefore, Treasury has lacked authority to borrow. It can shift cash among various accounts to meet obligations for a couple of months, avoiding default. With each passing day, however, that potential disaster gets slightly less unthinkable.
The right way to deal with the debt ceiling is to share the responsibility for increasing it on a bipartisan basis. That is, on the same basis that the Senate, in a welcome display of functionality, has just passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure measure. The 2019 suspension also came about on a bipartisan vote.
Gop County Chair Blasts Pat Toomey Vote: ‘we Did Not Send Him There To Do The Right Thing’
The chair of the Republican Party in Washington County, Pennsylvania has strongly criticized Senator Pat Toomey for voting to convict former President Donald Trump.
David Ball told local CBS affiliate KDKA on Monday that state Republicans had sent Toomey to Washington to represent them and argued that he should have toed the party line.
“We did not send him there to vote his conscience. We did not send him there to do the right thing or whatever he said he was doing,” Ball said. “We sent him there to represent us.”
Toomey was one of just seven Republicans to vote with Democrats to convict Trump last week.
The final vote was 57 in favor of conviction and 43 to acquit, falling short of the two-thirds majority required.
“This is a matter of magnitude beyond a simple up or down vote on some trade policy or something,” said Westmoreland County GOP chair Bill Bretz during Monday’s KDKA segment. He was appearing with Ball to discuss the matter.
Toomey, who will retire from the Senate in 2022, explained his decision in a statement. He said he had done what he believed was right. Ball’s comment on “the right thing” seems to suggest he had read Toomey’s statement.
“As a result of President Trump’s actions, for the first time in American history, the transfer of presidential power was not peaceful,” Toomey wrote, referring to the deadly riot at the Capitol on January 6 that left five people dead.

Don’t Miss: How Many States Are Controlled By Republicans
Government Is Not The Solution To Domestic Social Problems
This is pretty universal among Republicans. Government should not be providing solutions to problems that confront people . Those problems should be solved by the people themselves. A Republican would say that relying on the government to solve problems is a crutch that makes people lazy and feel entitled to receive things without working for them.
Challenge For Gop: Do Right Thing
Save
When I was in school I spent a great deal of my time in history class learning about how foresighted our founding fathers were when they drafted the U.S. Constitution, and how all of the checks and balances could regulate each branch to prevent abuses. However, for all of their foresight the founding fathers did not anticipate the situation the United States finds itself in now.
The checks and balances that are supposed to prevent abuses still are in place ready to be employed, but many Republican leaders in Congress refuse to use them.
It will take historians a great deal of time to simply catalog all of the illegal and unethical violations of the Trump administration, but the Jan. 6 insurrection is about as clear and obvious an act of treason as you could imagine. The sitting president incited an insurrection to stop the procedures of a fairly won election and people died as a result.
There is absolutely no question that Donald Trump should be convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors in the impeachment trial, and yet the country is left to wonder whether enough Republican senators will do the right thing to help protect American democracy.
Americans are speculating whether Republicans have cut a deal with Trump to acquit him to make sure he doesnt create a separate political party and split conservative voters.
