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.

"Mostly they cover your shopping trips with Draco Malfoy," Neville admitted, shrugging. He thought Pansy was interesting, and she always looked very pretty in the photos they took of her, but she hadn't really done anything scandalous. "And this week they've been speculating about you and Thoreau Lestrange. You seem smart enough to keep yourself from appearing in them doing anything you'll regret."

	"Speculating what? That his hair is better than mine?" Pansy arched a brow and then let out a tiny sigh. "I suppose I am a bit too good to be in the tabloids like that. It's sad that they only talk about my shopping trips, however. I'd like to think I have more to talk about than that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think you do too," Neville said, smiling at Pansy. "They've been wondering how serious you are and are you going to marry him. That sort of thing." He glanced at her. "I've sort of been wondering about it too. ow serious you are. If you're planning on marrying him. It would be a good match, right? He's your best friend's cousin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Pansy looked back at Neville. It wasn't clear as to what she should be saying here. If she answered honestly, would Neville run around and talk about her? Would he be part of the gossip? She eyed him for a long moment, then shrugged.

"How do I know you're not going to gossip?" Pansy asked, arching a brow. "Giving you all my secrets when you've admitted that you gossip?"

	"I never said I gossiped. I said I paid attention to the gossip," Neville corrected. "And only really when it's about you because I like you." He shrugged. "Maybe we didn't keep in touch, but you were my first friend at Hogwarts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Liked her? Pansy's stomach did a little flutter at the words and she laughed at that. But, she had to stay a bit more composed than what her body wanted her to. She chewed at her bottom lip and shrugged.

"Well. If you must know..." Pansy went on. "I'm not sure that Thoreau is actually interested in me romantically. It's more of a political... sort of arrangement."

	Neville frowned a little, nodding in agreement. "That's messed up," he said. "The way pure-bloods have to conduct their relationships. I just think everyone should be able to love whoever they want. I mean, look at Professor Rosier and Professor Malfoy. And Professor Malfoy's wife has a kid with someone else, doesn't she?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pansy arched a brow at that. Neville seemed to know a little too much. She chewed her bottom lip and then shrugged, trying not to give anything away. "We don't really talk about that, Neville." She informed him, running her eyes over him. "It's just not something that should be spread around too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	schlongbottom 2012-10-24 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Neville looked at Pansy for a moment, then nodded. "I wouldn't talk about it with other people," he told her. "I only know a little about it because I'm going to be apprenticing with Professor Rosier." He poured her some more tea. "Sorry. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just find it kind of fascinating, I guess. It's such a different world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"My world isn't supposed to be fascinating, Longbottom." Pans informed him, a cruel tone in her voice. She looked down at her cup of tea, feeling put out by what he'd said to her. "It's the world I have to live in and there is absolutely nothing fascinating about it. You don't have to live in it. You're free to do whatever you want to do. You won't have to worry about finding a beautiful, pureblood girl who won't want to marry you."

Neville looked at Pansy for a moment. "I do," he said. "Sort of. I'm a pure-blood and my gran's big on me redeeming the family name. She thinks I should go into politics or something. Be a crusader. I'd just rather be a professor and do research that might help people. I'll still have to marry a pure-blood. You know who my parents were. If I marry anything else I won't be able to teach."

	Pansy looked at Neville for a moment, then chewed her bottom lip. "Do you have your eye on anyone? Any prospects?" She couldn't believe that she'd asked the question. That it had slipped from her lips. But, there was no taking it back now. "I know who your parents are." She pointed out. They weren't dead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Not really, no," Neville said, smiling at Pansy. "I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it yet. Which is probably a bad idea. I'd like to think I had time, but everyone else is pairing off so fast. I probably don't. Unless I want to marry someone from Romania that I don't know anything about, and I don't, really."

He glanced down at the thermos in his hands and shrugged. "Right," he agreed. "So you know why I need to act like I care about this stuff."

	Sighing softly, Pansy looked back at Neville. "I don't care about any of it either. I do, to a certain degree, because I'm supposed to. But, I wish I didn't have to. Do you know how stressful it is for me to think about how I have to marry someone within the next two years?" She shook he head. "I just have to hope that Thoreau asks. He's my only prospect."

	Neville had to try his hardest not to tell Pansy exactly what he thought about her marrying the son of the people who'd driven his parents mad. "I find it hard to believe that he's the only pure-blood boy around interested in you," he told her. "You're pretty and smart. You've got a ton of influence. Everyone should be after you."

	"Draco would marry me, if he wasn't getting married to Merlin." If that was even still going to happen. She hated Merlin so much and the thought made her frown deeply. She chewed at her bottom lip, roughly, then looked up at Neville. "There aren't a lot of free purebloods left." She pointed out. "The only one beside Thoreau is Theodore Nott."

	"So it has to be a Slytherin?" Neville looked at Pansy for a moment and then nodded. "I guess I understand that. You don't want to cause a scandal." He got to his feet. "I should probably get the pumpkins to the house-elves before they come looking for them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It doesn't have to be." Pansy stood, frowning at Neville. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, worrying her bottom lip as she looked at him. Why was he suddenly wanting to leave? "Did I say something that upset you?" She asked, frowning. "There are no Gryffindor or Hufflepuff boys who are interested in marrying me. They all want to fall in love first."

"Don't you think falling in love is worth it?" Neville asked, looking down at her. "I guess I just don't understand the way Slytherins think. You should try taking a risk, Pansy. Try letting yourself be open to the possibility of falling in love before you get married. Especially if you're dating people because it's convenient or you don't think you have any other options. That's not fair to either of you."

He ran a hand through his curly hair. "No, you didn't say anything. But I know for a fact there are Gryffindor and Hufflepuff boys who'd love a chance to take you to Hogsmede, so don't count yourself out yet."

Pansy looked back at Neville after he'd finished saying what he had wanted to say. He heart was beating kind of quickly and her stomach was fluttering with butterflies. He made it all sound so easy, however, it was anything but.

"And how do you know that?" Pansy asked, her voice low and breathy as she took a step towards Neville. Perhaps it was a bit forward of her, to assume that maybe Neville would want her. That if she moved closer, he may kiss her. Just like she'd always thought about. Since they were children.

She looked up at him with pouting eyes, taking his tea cup from him and setting it aside. "Do you know something that I don't?"

Neville looked down at Pansy for a moment, hesitating. He did like Pansy. He'd always liked Pansy. This would be risky for both of them. She hadn't even wanted to be seen talking to him before. But... He liked her and he was a Gryffindor.

Neville took Pansy's hand in his own and then leaned forward, brushing their lips together. "Yeah," he said, giving her a slightly nervous smile. "I think I do."

His lips against hers sent a jolt of electricity through her body. Her breath hitched and for a brief moment, Pansy wasn't sure what to do. She stared up at Neville and then lifted delicate fingers to his jaw, taking a small step forward.

"Perhaps the person you know should be a bit more forceful." Pansy suggested, her voice light and airy, wanting desperately for him to kiss her again.

Neville looked down at Pansy for a moment and then nodded, leaning down and kissing her again. He let his lips linger against Pansy's this time, deepening the kiss a little and touching the small of her back, holding her close to his chest.

Neville pulled back, nipping at Pansy's bottom lip softly, and gave her a curious look. "What do you think of him being a bit more forceful?" he asked.

Pansy liked the bite to her lip. It tingled after he pulled back and she felt a bit dizzy from the kiss. He was pressing her so close and she could feel his chest against her, warm and firm. When had he gotten so firm?

She reached up and touched her lips, blushing a bit. And then she was unable to stop herself. She moved a little closer, placing a hand on his neck as she pulled him forward, kissing him deeply again, smashing her body firmly against his.

Neville made a started sound against Pansy's mouth, letting her drag him closer. He laughed against her lips a little, his hands sliding down her back, returning the kiss for all he was worth. He'd thought about this a lot. It was probably why things with Hannah and Padma hadn't worked out. He'd been hung up on Pansy Parkinson.

Neville kept an arm locked around Pansy's waist, burying his hand in her hair and kissing her deeply, passionately. He loved the way she felt against him, how soft and small she was, and how flushed and sweet she looked.
