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."

"No one said we were innocent, Longbottom," Theodore said, leaning against the door to block Neville's exit. "I'm sure we've all sent things to you. Back-stabbed our friends. Pansy knows I sent you the blast about her and Thoreau sleeping together. I'm sure Thoreau sent several nasty things about the two of us when we went behind his back. Pansy is queen of the school for a reason. We accept each other for who we are. We don't accept you, and Daphne certainly won't be impressed."

"I get why you did it before," Thoreau said, putting his glass down. "Kind of. I get why it wouldn't matter to you what what you said about us did to our lives. We didn't know each other. But I thought you were my friend, Neville. What is warning me that you're going to put the video up supposed to do for me? The only point of sending me that message was to assuage your own guilt about screwing me and Pansy over the same way you screwed Draco."

	"Do you really want to know why I sent you a courtesy text?" Neville asked, giving Thoreau a sad look. He shook his head. "Because the person who sent that to me is someone you also trust and love." He glanced at Theodore. "Why don't you tell them, or rather, explain to them why you sent the video to me in the first place, Nott?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Theodore gave Neville an unimpressed look. This would have been a lot easier if Longbottom hadn't figured out they knew who he was so quickly. "A drunken mistake," he said. "When the woman you love shows you a sex tape she made with your best friend and his boyfriend, sometimes you do crazy things."

Thoreau stared at Theodore for a moment, then looked at Pansy, walking over to lay a hand on her shoulder. "If you love them, you don't do something that will hurt them. Did you want Pansy to come to you for help fixing her problem? You sent Neville the video so, what, when it went up you'd be able to pick up the pieces of keep her to yourself? That's not right, Theo."

Pansy looked at Theodore for a moment. She had never felt so hurt in her entire life. He had just confessed his love to her. She had told him they'd have kids some day. They'd be a family. And here he was. Destroying her life.

She closed her eyes for a moment, then shook her head. "Get out of my house." She said calmly, but couldn't hold back. "Get the fuck out of my house!"

"Pansy..." Theodore looked at her for a moment, then glanced at Longbottom, glaring at him before he left, slamming the door to the room shut behind himself.

Thoreau sat beside Pansy, wanting to pull her against his chest and tell her things would be okay, but Neville was still there. He looked up at him. "Are you going to post the video?" he asked. "You'll ruin Pansy's life. I'll go out and make other gossip for you to put up if you leave her alone."

	"No. Why do you think I texted you?" Neville asked as he looked at Thoreau. "I thought you might be able to figure it out. And if you hadn't, I would have flat out told you about Nott. I wanted you to know." Pansy hurt everywhere. She curled into a ball on her bed and cried harder than she'd ever cried in her life. "I don't even care anymore." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I -- fuck." Thoreau wrapped his arms around Pansy, pulling her close and petting at her hair. "Pansy, I know it hurts now, but you can do so much better than Theo. If he was willing to hurt you that badly, he doesn't deserve you. He just deserves punishment."

He kissed the top of her head and looked up at Neville. "Thank you. For not posting it. Theo will be telling Daphne you're Gossip Girl about now. I'll back up whatever story you want to tell her. I -- Pansy, do you want me to call over Draco and have him get you some ice cream and macarons?"

Pansy pulled away from Thoreau and shook her head. She pulled out her phone and found all the photos Theodore had sent her, all the dirty ones, then texted them to Gossip Girl.

"Ruin him." Pansy told Neville, shaking her head. "Make his father hate him. I don't care. I want him to feel as hurt as I do. Now get out." She shoved Neville out of her room and looked at Thoreau before she crawled into his lap and kissed him deeply.

Thoreau made a muffled sound of protest against Pansy's lips when she started kissing him, but then he was kissing her back, arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her close. Thoreau wasn't going to push Pansy away when she was this hurt. He loved her.

"You sure?" Thoreau asked, breaking the kiss for a moment as his hands slipped under Pansy's shirt. "I don't want to take advantage of you."

	Pansy looked back at Thoreau and shook her head. "It's not taking advantage of me. But, no. I'm not sure." She told him, wilting a bit in his arms. She rubbed at her eyes, trying to breathe. "You are the only person who doesn't actively try to hurt me." She told him, her voice quiet. "I don't know what to do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Draco doesn't try and hurt you either. He's just a bit... you know. Draco." Thoreau kissed Pansy's forehead, leaning back against the pillows with her on his chest. "Tonight, all you need to do is feel whatever emotions you're feeling about all this. It's a lot."

He pet at her hair. "I'm going to be here to take care of you no matter what, okay? Theo is dead to me and we're going to make sure he suffers for hurting you like this. If you really want, I bet my boyfriend would beat him up for you."

	"I don't want him beat up." Pansy shook her head, wiping at her eyes. She hid her face in her pillow, sulking a bit. She just... wanted to get back at Theodore. To make him hurt, but not actually hurt. "Call Draco." Pansy told Thoreau, sighing heavily. "We're going to get pissed and cry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thoreau kissed the top of Pansy's head, nodding in agreement. Getting pissed and crying sounded like an excellent solution to him. "Of course," he said, petting at her hair as he pulled out his phone and texted Draco to come over and bring comfort food and Pansy's favourite booze.

"Do you want to change out of your uniform?" he asked, laying beside Pansy and rubbing her back. "Draco's on his way over. He's going to pick up a few things."

	Pansy sighed and pushed herself out of bed. "I don't really want to, but I will." She told him as she stripped down to her knickers and slid back in bed. She hid her face in her pillow again. "Why would he do this to me, Reau?" Pansy asked quietly. "I gave him everything that I had." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thoreau sighed, taking off his jacket and tie and shoes and getting under the covers with Pansy, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close to his chest. "I don't know," he said, stroking her hair out of her face and then kissing her shoulder. "I wish I could just make it all go away, Pansy."

He rested his head on the pillow beside hers. "Sometimes I think Theo doesn't realize not everything is a game. That people do things for reasons other than winning or losing over him. I know Draco usually dominates our daddy issues radar, but Theo has a ton of them too."

	"We all have Daddy issues. Even you and your Dad is great." Pansy told Thoreau as she looked him over, then unbuttoned his shirt, pushing it off his shoulders. "It's an underwear party." Pansy announced. "Get into your knickers and if you don't have any on, you can wear a pair of mine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I don't have much in the way of daddy issues. I'm just a little weirded out that we have the same taste in men," Thoreau said, laughing and helping Pansy get his shirt off. "No, I'm wearing pants today." He unzipped his trousers and pushed them off. "You don't need to stuff me into your knickers."

Draco opened the door to Pansy's bedroom, carrying a bag full of sweets and a bottle of Jack Daniels. He raised an eyebrow at Pansy and Thoreau working on getting Thoreau's clothes off. "Should I come back in half an hour?" he asked. "You look busy."

	Pansy looked up at Draco and shook her head. "No. But, you need to take off your trousers and shirt. This is an underwear party." She informed him, sitting up and pushing up his shirt. "We know who Gossip Girl is." Pansy informed him. "And we also know that Theodore sent in my sex tape with Thoreau and Rooney." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Draco blinked at Pansy for a moment. "You --" He scowled, setting the things in his hands down on the bed and then helping her get his shirt off. "Theodore is a prick. I've always said you were too good for him. We're going to find you someone better. I think I know a few lords who would be a good match for you."

He took off his own trousers and got into the bed with Pansy and Thoreau. "So who is Gossip Girl? Is she sending out your sex tape?"

	"He is not." Pansy replied, shaking her head. "Thoreau got a text warning him about the sex tape being released. Which, we thought was really fucked, right?" Pansy took the snacks from Draco. "So we we thought about it. Turns out it was Neville. Confronted him about it and he told on Thoreau." (Reply to this)(Parent)
