Pansy knew what they said about her. Hell, the comments she missed, someone always made a point of telling her of. Over tea, former friends pretended to be sorry for her smaller house or her second-rate husband.
So what if the world thought that the little Slytherin princess had slipped, marrying a man whose family line couldn't be traced more than a handful of generations back?
She doubted that those oh-so-perfectly married women in their icy manors could imagine how little grandeur and peer-approval weighted against the warmth, love and laughter that filled her and Oliver's house day-in and day-out.
