Who: Pansy Parkinson and Theodore Nott
What: I really wish I could say
Where: Slytherin dormitories
When: Monday evening
Rating/Status: TBD/In progress

On of the perks of being a girl at Hogwarts- there were, after all, a few- was the ability of the fairer sex to get into the dormitories of the darker one. It was a ridiculous old-fashioned notion that the girls wouldn't get up to in the boys' dormitory exactly what the boys would in the girls', more or less, but Pansy wasn't about to protest the privilege.

She rarely protested any privilege at all.

Rather, she took advantage of them; this evening was a case in point. There was nearly always someone hanging about in the girls' room, brushing her hair or painting her nails or sprawled out on her mattress. It was a terrible place to talk privately, not that she could have with Theodore at any rate. The Common Room itself was worse of an evening, given that Slytherins mostly kept to themselves in their free hours.

In contrast, the boys' dormitory was usually more or less empty until curfew in Pansy's experience. The lads went in and out to get things, but very rarely lingered before they were ready to actually sleep. They also tended to respect each other's privacy a little better than young women did; add to that the fact that there was one less person living in this room now to walk in by chance, and it was as intimate a setting as one was likely to get outside of the Prefect's bathroom. And Pansy wasn't interested in quite that sort of intimacy at present.

She wrote a quick note to Theodore in her journal- Make your excuses and go to bed, Theo. Now, please, before tucking it away and arranging herself prettily on his bed to wait, skirt flared around her and feet tucked up under it. She never could resist a little drama where her friend was concerned.

Well, he thought, at least she said please. Theodore, having known Pansy for years, knew that the best thing to do with a request like this was to heed it. So he excused himself from the easy chair in front of the fire, not that many of the younger years were paying much attention to him, and made his way to his dormitory. As his tie was already askew and nearly unknotted, he finished tugging it off as he walked in, scanning the dimly lit room for Pansy.

He found her sitting prettily on his bed. "Comfortable?" he asked, balling the tie up and stuffing it into his trunk. He kicked off his shoes one at a time and nudged them under the bed.

	"Very," Pansy said, smiling and pleased that Theo had heeded her so quickly. "I do think they've given you boys the best beds. It's infuriating." She uncurled a little to sit straighter, watching Theodore toe his shoes off with half-life eyes. "Come sit. Tell me about Renaud, I want to hear every detail." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I would imagine that you have the exact same beds as well do," Theodore said, because it didn't seem like something that would be different between the two rooms. He loosened the collar of his shirt and glanced between her on his bed and the chair he had pulled over next to the nightstand where he piled his school books haphazardly. He chose the chair, moving the books to the floor so he could sit, stretching out lazily.

"What do you want to know? It was boring. Draco and I should have done more but the town was crawling with DMLE and if there's one thing my father's taught me, it's don't get sent to Azkaban."

	Pursing her lips, Pansy shook her head. "I'd invite you to try out my bed, but sneaking you in would be more effort than its worth," she sighed. She watched Theo sit , expression assessing. "Well, I'm certainly glad you didn't let Draco get you jailed," she decided after a moment. "But that makes for a dull story overall." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You know, I never got why you can come in here any time you want and yet we're not allowed in yours," Theodore drawled. "Seems a little backward." Especially, he thought, when you had idiots like the Renaud girls who apparently both liked kissing girls. Who knew what sort of disgusting things they got up to in their own dormitories!

"I'm sorry. It was pretty dull. We didn't even get to do any permanent damage. Though it would have been nice to give her a nasty scar right there on her face for everyone to see. Maybe in a few months," he said, already plotting through the ideas in his head.

	"It's do that you can violate us sweet, innocent virgins," Pansy said dryly. "I suppose they assume girls who venture into the boys' side deserve what they get." She shrugged, a lazy, elegant gesture, and tilted her head in thought. "You'd need to really ugly her up. Otherwise she's likely to wear any scar as a mark of pride."

Theodore rolled his eyes. "Any wizard brought up correctly would never degrade a witch like that," he said. "So I suppose we should turn blame on all the mudblood idiots who don't know better, right?" At that, he smirked. He really liked nothing better than to blame mudbloods for just about everything.

"She's already ugly," he said. "I want to make her atrocious."

	"Precisely, darling," Pansy said with a smile that nearly matched Theodore's smirk. "I'd hate to find Entwhistle lurking in my bedroom. I do feel for you on that count." Her smile got a little wider, and she nodded. "Yes. Make her less of a matched set with that wretched sister of hers." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Entwhistle wasn't so bad. The problem was that he wasn't willing to understand his place. If he'd just be a good and loyal Slytherin instead of mingling with other mudbloods and siding with them, Theodore wouldn't really have a problem with him. "He knows better than to try anything," Theodore said. "He knows we'd all best him in anything if he did."

Theodore nodded. "Exactly. Plus, once we're done here, she won't have any professors to snitch to."

	"Of course he does," Pansy said, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes. "But it's nice to have the little extra assurance all the same." She nodded, crossing one leg over the other. "No power at all. Though remember from Calliope's example, those brutes don't fight with wands like civilized people. Shell probably try to hit you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then I'll hit her right back," Theodore said quickly. "I don't care. The both of them -- all of their disgusting friends, too -- are worthless to me and to you and to this world, and the sooner they understand that, the sooner the rest of us can go back to living a civilized life."

	Pansy nodded, her expression hard-edged. "I know that and you know that. And soon enough they'll know it too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They'd better. Or else we aren't doing our job right." And that, right there, was what worried Theodore the most. In the years since the Dark Lord's death, when his father and other Death Eaters were in prison, no one did anything. Sometimes he felt like it was all up to them, even now.

	He shrugged because honestly he hadn't given it all that much thought. "Maybe Draco scared her away," he joked, though only a little because he did worry that that was what happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That would be just like him, wouldn't it?" Pansy asked, rolling her eyes. "He's awfully...intense these days." Not that Draco had ever been the laid-back type, but Pansy wasn't exactly impressed with the effect leaving school had had on him. From his journal entries, he sounded crazed half the time.

	Theodore certainly didn't know what was going on with Draco. He'd always been that way but lately it was more. "Maybe we should just get in touch with her ourselves. Or," Theodore said, giving Pansy a charming grin, "You should. Woman to woman." (Reply to this) (Parent)
