Summary:

Neville needs saving in a Pub and Pansy is the heroine of the hour.

Based on Panville Prompt: I'll go save him.

Work Text:

“Oh not again.” Draco said, he looked past her shoulder. 

“What?” Pansy asked, she looked around while everyone else at the table seemed to know what Draco looked apprehensive about.

“I told him not to make eye contact with the local wildlife.” Theo said.

“We are all the same species.” Hermione told Theo in a dark manner as she didn’t appreciate Muggles being referred to as wildlife. 

“I bet to differ.” Pansy said, she ate one of the olives from her martini.

She and Theo loved to rile Hermione up when they had their little adventures in the muggle world.

“Beg.” Harry corrected her.

“I don’t beg unless it’s worth my while.” Pansy informed him with a smile.

“You said bet to differ. You know what? Never mind.” Harry said. He could see she was drunk, hell they all were.

“What is the problem with Neville?” Pansy asked.

"He's in trouble.” Theo said as he pointed out where Neville was currently standing.

“Drunk Muggles, they see a tall guy and they gotta pick a fight. I don’t get it.” Draco said, they all watched as Neville held up his hands up in surrender to another man who was pissed off for some unknown reason.

“Well, we should go over there and break it up before it starts.” Harry sighed, he was about to get up from his chair when Pansy stopped him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go save him.” Pansy sighed in mild annoyance as she downed her martini. She stood up and adjusted her outfit.

“Wait, what's your plan?” Theo asked Pansy.

“I’ll do what I need to do. Trust me, I got this.” she slurred. She left the group and haphazardly walked over to where Neville was still trying to placate a small angry man. 

“What is she going to do?” Hermione asked in concern.

“No clue.” Draco said, he and Harry were slowly starting to rise from their seats. They were fully prepared to intervene given Pansy could be a little hotheaded especially after a few drinks.

“We should be ready for a brawl.” Harry said, they had to prepare for the worse.

But much to their surprise, Pansy ignored the angry man and grabbed Neville by the face. She pulled him down and kissed him passionately.

“Or not.” Theo remarked in amusement, the whole table watched in a mix of confusion and awe as Pansy and Neville continued to snog.

The small angry man looked stunned. He didn't know how to fight a guy who wasn't paying attention to him anymore. So, after a few seconds of gawking, he walked off in search of a new opponent. 

The couple didn't seem to notice or maybe didn't care as they continued snogging.

“Should we go break that up?” Harry asked as he pointed at Neville and Pansy.

The couple were really getting to the point of gross indecency as bodies were grinding and hands were going places they shouldn’t in a public setting.

“Oi! Get a room, Parkinson!” Theo shouted loudly. The couple broke apart for air, Pansy turned in their directions.

She flipped Theo her middle finger before she dragged Neville out of the pub. “Problem solved. Who’s up for some pizzas and kebabs?” Theo asked the group.
