Thoreau wormed his way through the crowded school hallway, making a b-line for Pansy, standing surrounded by a circle of her closest followers. Who were about to get a text alert. Thoreau didn't know when Gossip Girl had started giving out warnings, but obviously Pansy hadn't got one or she wouldn't be standing in the middle of a very public hallways, ruling the coop like nothing was wrong.

He touched her arm. "Pansy, I need to talk to you," Thoreau said, glancing at the girls and then stepping closer to her, lowering his voice. "We need to go. Now. We need time to think up a strategy."

Thoreau chewed on his bottom lip for a moment. He liked Neville. Had liked him. Had enjoyed being friends with him. "No wonder Daphne's been getting so much attention. I... You can't sleep with him."

Thoreau got out his phone. "I don't... I should text him, right? It would be normal for me to say something to him about Gossip Girl. He's the only person who ever seems... above it." Thoreau thought about their first conversations with Neville, how he'd acted like he didn't know anything about them. "He's been fucking playing us."

	"But, why?" Pansy asked, shaking her head. "What's his reason for even starting Gossip Girl? We didn't even know who he was until he forced his way into our circle and.." She frowned at that. "Daphne." She shook her head. "He wanted Daphne. That little bitch. You better hope your text gets to him before I find him and strangle him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We should tell Daphne," Thoreau said, shaking his head. "I'd say we should tell Draco, but I wouldn't put it past him to know some of the same shady people his father does and he doesn't need a murder charge on top of everything else."

Thoreau looked up at Pansy. "Let's go to your place to hide," he said. "You have your lingerie there, if it comes down to your seducing him to keep him quiet. I'll ask him to meet me there."

Text: So my life is about to explode. Come drink with me?

	Pansy sighed softly as they walked into her room and glanced at Thoreau's phone. She fell onto her bed, wondering if Neville was ever going to text him back or not. She ran a hand through her hair. "Do you think we should call Theodore?" Pansy asked. "He's my partner in crime. I can't scheme well without him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thoreau looked up at Pansy. "You want to tell Theo we made a sex tape with my boyfriend?" he asked. "If you do, we can, but it might be the kind of thing best kept to ourselves."

He rubbed his temples. "But Theo is good at this sort of thing so his advice might come in handy. I don't know. You're the one who's kind of... You're the one he's in love with. You should make that decision."

	"I think he kind of knows about it already. It's not like it's that big of a deal." Pansy shrugged and let out a soft sigh. "I love him too." She chewed at her bottom lip again, then texted Theodore to come to her house. "We need his help, Thoreau. You're not good at this. Your plans always backfire." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I never really have a plan," Thoreau told Pansy, snorting. "Things just happen. But you're right. We need help. I don't have a good track record of getting away with... anything, and Theo does."

He reached out and grabbed her hand in his, pulling her into his lap. "Maybe we can appeal to Neville's conscious. He's... He seemed like a really nice guy, you know? Decent. Rooney likes him. Which is probably too bad. If he didn't, he might have intimidated him for us."

Theo: I'll be right over.

	"He's still your boyfriend. If he knows he's Gossip Girl, it may change his mind a little." Pansy suggested, leaning against Thoreau's side. She sighed softly, feeling so panicked inside but trying to hide it. "I hate this. I deleted the video from my phone. How did he get it?" Text from Neville: What's going on?

"I don't know," Thoreau said, shaking his head. "How do any of them get anything? Maybe he's really good with computers or something." He jumped when he finally got a text back from Neville, looking down at his phone. "Apparently we don't really know anything about Neville."

Having a car constantly on had made it a lot easier for Theo to get to Pansy's flat. He rode the lift up and walked inside, raising an eyebrow at her and Thoreau. "What's going on?"

Text from Thoreau: Rather not say on the phone? Some stuff is going up on GG tonight. At Pansy's having a farewell to our reputations thing. Would be nice to have someone who doesn't care about GG here for some perspective.

Pansy looked up at Theodore and sighed heavily. "The video that I made with Thoreau. And Rooney. Gossip Girl got it." She told Theo, shaking her head. "And now we're trying to figure out the best strategy of going about this."

She chewed her bottom lip. "We think that Neville is Gossip Girl. Thoreau got a warning text about it before it happened. And he's recently become friends with Longbottom."

Text from Neville: Alright, mate. I'll come over. We can go have a drink.

Theodore stared at the two of them for a moment, then sighed, walking to the bar at the end of the room and pouring himself a drink. "He makes sense as Gossip Girl. It explains why Lucy's never on her blog. Have you invited Longbottom over yet?"

Thoreau looked up from his phone and nodded. "He just texted me back. He says he'll come over here and then we'll go get a drink."

Theodore took a sip of his whiskey and then poured two more glasses, walking over to Pansy and Thoreau and putting a glass in both their hands. "You're idiots," he told them. "If you're going to make a sex tape, don't make it on your phone. Make it on a camera. I'll do my best to help you fix it. Is knowing his identity as Gossip Girl enough blackmail to stop him from posting the video?"

"Me being friends with him isn't enough," Thoreau said, draining the glass Theo'd given him. "Who'd believe us? He could just post the video and play dumb."

	Pansy downed her drink quickly and looked up at Theodore. "I have wondered if I could convince him to sleep with me." She told Theodore. "Get him drunk, shag him and film it. Threaten to post it myself." She shrugged. "Sex seems to get me what I want, after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Theodore paused, studying Pansy for a moment. It wasn't a plan he liked, but if they could convince Neville to sleep with her, it would probably work. "We could try it," he said. "Although I'm not sure a sex tape of the two of you together would hurt his reputation. It might just do more damage to you."

"But he's with Daphne, right?" Thoreau pointed out. "He set this whole Gossip Girl thing up to get in with us so he could be closer to her. It would ruin their relationship."

"Pansy and Neville kissing would ruin their relationship and then she wouldn't have to fuck him," Theodore pointed out, grumbling. "Unless you catch Neville at an orgy or something, sleeping with him is not going to be as effective as you want it to be."

	Pansy eyed Theodore for a moment and frowned. "Are you sure that this isn't just you turning down an idea because you don't want me to sleep with anyone else?" She arched a brow at him and stood up, walking towards him. She ran a hand up his chest and leaned in, kissing him softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Theodore kissed Pansy back, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her tight to his chest. "Of course I don't want you to sleep with him," he said, looking down at her. "I love you. I'd rather hire someone to push him off a bridge."

He slid his hand down to Pansy's bum, squeezing it gently. "But if you want to do this, it'll probably work. I have spliff. We'll get him loose enough to agree to anything, even if he is one of those idiots who likes blondes."

	Neville was let in by one of the maids and found his way up to the room they'd directed him to. He knocked on the door and bit his lip. Thoreau couldn't find out it was him. It wasn't like he meant to hurt them all. Pansy turned quickly and pulled away from Theodore, glancing at Thoreau. "Open it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
