Pansy hadn't been able to stop thinking about how everyone around her seemed to be having sex. And her own boyfiend didn't want to touch her like that. He wanted to respect her and while that was noble, it was kind of annoying for her. She was sixteen years old. She thought it was time to lose it already.

But, since there was nothing she could do about it, Pansy was taking a walk to clear her mind. She was walking along the edge of the Forbidden Forest when her heel got caught in one of the pumpkin patch vines, sending her falling down onto her knees hard. She swore, grabbing onto her knee that was now scraped, trying not to cry about it.

	Pansy knew about Neville's parents. It was common knowledge of what Bellatrix and Rodolphus had done to them. It wasn't something she supported and certainly not anything she was going to say to Neville. "We recently started dating." Pansy admitted, glancing at Neville's tea cup as well. "I'm still good at Ancient Runes, but I'm better at Potions and Arithmancy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Neville nodded. "I'm not in Ancient Runes," he said. "I took Creatures and Divination as my electives, but I've dropped Divination. It's a bollocks class unless you have some natural talent for it." He laughed a little. "My friends and I used to just come up with horrible things that could happen to us and predict those for our future. It improved our marks."

He glanced up at Pansy. "My friend Regulus is dating June Riddle now," he said. "You're friends with her, right? You hang out with the Malfoys all the time so I kind of assume you know her, at least."

	"You should have tried for Ancient Runes. It looks good on your resumes for jobs when you graduate." Pansy pointed out, swirling her tea a bit with a finger, watching as the liquid spun. Pansy allowed herself to glance up at him. "You friend Regulus is going to get himself into trouble. You can't date Tom Riddle's daughter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm going to apprentice with Professor Rosier after Hogwarts," Neville told Pansy, giving her a small smile. "He's already asked me and I said yes. It's a great opportunity. I'd love to teach someday." He snorted. "Telling Regulus that would just make him more determined, I think. I'm pretty sure his middle name is literally trouble. He's pretty wild."

	"It's actually Orion." Pansy pointed out, then blushed a bit. Why had she been so matter-of-fact? It didn't matter what Regulus's middle name was. She just had... pureblood knowledge, was all. She bit her lip. "You really want to teach? I remember you haven't no idea what you were going to do here when you were on that train." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Neville raised his eyebrows at Pansy. "So I guess you paid attention during all those lessons I managed to tune out?" he asked, laughing. "My gran tried to hammer that stuff into my head, but it doesn't have the room."

He shrugged. "It's been a few years. I've had time to figure it out. I tutor a lot of the younger Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. I like doing it. And I'm really good with plants. If I was a professor I'd have time to do research and still be able to teach too. What about you?"

"I had to pay attention." Pansy pointed out with a shrug. "It's going to be useful when I have to be a socialite and throw parties for my husband. It's all part of the basic training." She chewed at her bottom lip, feeling stupid. Neville wasn't part of this world.

"I'm awful with plants. I've killed all the ones I've ever been given." Pansy sighed dramatically and then looked at Neville. "What do you mean?" She asked. "As a job?"

	Neville glanced at the pumpkins and laughed. "Maybe they were just getting revenge for their fallen comrades earlier than," he said. "I've always been good with them. And animals. Not as good as your friend Draco, though." He looked at her again and nodded. "Yeah. As a job. You're too clever to be a socialite and nothing else. Won't you get bored?"

"Draco isn't so good with them right now." Pansy admitted with a soft sigh. She couldn't tell Neville everything that she knew, but she wanted to talk about it. "He's somehow lost his memories. People aren't sure how, but he can't remember things."

Pansy laughed at that. "I don't really have a choice." She pointed out. "It's... kind of what I was born to do. Unless I marry someone who will allow me to do something else."

Neville frowned a little. "Really? That's messed up," he said. "Something must have happened to him. I mean, there are people who would attack him for being who he is, you know? You got kidnapped once just for being his friend, didn't you? I remember it was in the papers."

He shook his head. "You shouldn't marry anyone who would stop you from living a full life," Neville said. "If you get a choice."

Pansy was a bit surprised by what knowledge Neville seemed to have. She chewed at her bottom lip and nodded, feeling a little nervous around Neville. Why did he know so much? "Yes. I was kidnapped with Merlin and Draco. There was a werewolf there."

She shuddered visibly at that and then looked back at the boy. "I don't get a choice. I will essentially go to the highest bidder for my hand. That's how it works, so long as it's a pureblood."
