I enjoyed this a lot! I liked that there were echoes from their school days, but the focus remained on their dynamic as adults. And what an attractive dynamic and what nicely-grown up adults they are. :) I love Pansy's wit and elegance and Ron's honesty and self-awareness, and that they're moved on enough from the past to give each other a chance.

I adored this little bit of dialogue:

“Gryffindor, I presume?” My answer was choked by a chortle. She slapped lightly at my arm. “Oh, give it a rest! I can appreciate the irony, I assure you.”

“Don’t worry; he may have inherited his looks from Harry, but all the smarts and charm come strictly from the Weasley side of the family,” I teased.

“Fabulous,” was her soul-withering response, but the laughter in her eyes made it hard to believe she was upset.

And Hermione/Viktor in the background FTW! ♥ And of course Ron would be a tad sore that it's Krum of all people. *pets him*

As for communities, you could post this to frillypinkrobes and hprarepairs, and a directory search tells me that you have pansyxron, though I don't know how active it is.

YAY! You are first to review!

Oh, thank you, darling! I am SO pleased that you enjoyed this. I appreciate your feedback on the characterizations. And yes, if I was going to break them up, naturally I would pair Hermione with Viktor!

I am ever so grateful for the suggested communities. I have posted the story at all 3 sites. *hugs you* I appreciate you SO much!
