A Little Less Conversation Jxl

[Kaskuser Kiss]

Pansywas just a fleeting thought over the years, called forth whenever he saw her. But in the nine months since things ended with Hannah, who wanted to explore her options, he's been thinking more and more about doing the same.

Neville thinks his mood has to do with the fact that he's wearing two jumpers in a tent outside the Burrow during the Weasley Christmas party, but the feeling continues to flourish when she dances with Harry.

They're acquaintances by proxy through their chaotic blended friendship circles. Nothing more. They barely speak. The reasons for that have changed over the years, but lately it's due to the fact that he has yet to gain the nerve to do anything more than stumble over his words when she says anything to him.

Back at Hogwarts, he wondered if there was more to Pansy Parkinson than bitterness and cruelty. Once they both had room and time, and grew past the war and its aftermath, Neville learned there is more to her. He still wonders exactly how much.

Pansy was just a fleeting thought over the years, called forth whenever he saw her. But in the nine months since things ended with Hannah, who wanted to explore her options, he's been thinking more and more about doing the same.

It's probably insanity or delayed bravery that makes him finally stand up from the seat he's occupied since the start of the Christmas party, and not jealousy that brings him right to Pansy, who is now chatting and smiling with a very interested Oliver Wood.

It's clumsy and embarrassing, but the feeling is nothing new. They both look at him. Neville shuffles from foot to foot, aware that he's much too warm in his jumpers, and cursing himself for his inability to say no to Molly Weasley.

They're facing each other when the music starts, and Neville's not sure where to put his hands. Up close, even in heels, she's only barely cresting his shoulders. He fumbles with indecision until Pansy steps closer, places a hand on his chest, and takes his other in hers.

This he can do effortlessly, even in the middle of others dancing with their respective partners and friends. Ever since he taught himself to dance, he's always been able to dance better than he can express himself. Neville's okay with only doing the former until Pansy breaks the silence.

Neville huffs a shaky laugh because yes, he does know this. And she only has to cut her eyes once before he obeys her request. Watching her spin around with her eyes closed makes her look innocent. Approachable. It makes falling back into step with her feel natural.

His hand dips lower on her back, but Pansy doesn't bite his head off for it, so he leaves it there. The practised steps of the waltz make it easy for Neville to focus on everything except trying to have a real conversation with her.

Pansy closes her mouth and stares at him as she seems to cycle through several facial expressions he doesn't recognise. Some look like befuddlement or surprise, but he isn't sure about anything, much less what's going on in her head.

"Actually." Even though there's music playing, and they're surrounded by conversations, it all sounds like white noise. Neville keeps talking, growing braver with each word she doesn't shut down. "I'll dance with you the rest of the night, if you'll let me."

A tiny shake of her head is all he gets. "I've been waiting for you to say something. I was beginning to wonder if I'd have to take matters into my own hands." Pansy worries at her bottom lip. "Didn't think jealousy would force you into action, but whatever works."

"But you want me to be." Pansy tilts her head like she's studying him in preparation for an exam, and Neville wonders if their curiosity is mutual. "If you want to know me, Longbottom, you're going to have to stop watching and start talking to me."

"You look a bit tongue-tied, Longbottom. It's not hard." Pansy's fingernail traces the stitching of his sweater. "I'll start by telling you I like long walks on the beach, travelling, and rock-climbing, but only because I want to surprise you with my versatility." Low and private, her voice is a secret between them both. "I can be very versatile."

"Maybe another time I'll tell you about my complicated relationship with my parents, too, but I won't ever go on about my exes. That's terribly bad form. What I will do tonight is lament about Mrs Weasley dropping hints about Ron's availability because her last hope for a daughter-in-law died when Granger started shagging Draco."

"Even though you find me funny, you're not laughing. I'm not offended. But you should know as well as I do that her efforts are futile." Pansy licks her lips and there's a shift in the way she's looking at him. Her eyes are honest and he can't look away. "It seems as though we've been watching each other. Pity, I didn't know you were over Hannah until just now."

Pansy's naked and waiting, a vision lounging on the edge of the bed, leaned back on her hands with her legs open in invitation. She's only wearing black stiletto heels, but Neville feels more exposed than she is when her eyes rake over his body appreciatively. There's a coyness in her smirk that contrasts the blush staining her cheeks and neck.

Before Neville can blink, she's on her feet, his briefs are around his ankles, and she drops to her knees. His cock pulses in her cool hand. Her eyes stay focused on him, and a shuddering gasp escapes him in a rush.

Much to his surprise, shreds of hesitation begin to fall away when she examines his cock. His nerves scatter like dust when she licks her lips, takes him as deep as she can, and sucks until her cheeks hollow.

Neville can't keep his eyes off her. With nothing to brace himself, and his legs already beginning to weaken, his hands find themselves on the back of her head, guiding her movements, and hers fall to the back of his thighs.

Pansy's still catching her breath, but she doesn't look upset. In fact, when she recovers, there's determination in her tear-filled eyes. "You're a bit larger than I'm used to, but that's no reason to quit, now is it?"

In no time, Neville's losing himself. His cock bumps the back of her throat, and he drowns in the sensation of her tongue pressing against the underside of his cock. When she starts groaning like the taste of him is all she's wanted, he has to look away.

Not rushed, it's slow and deep, until their teeth clack together accidentally and Pansy makes little content sounds while he ruts against her stomach. Confidence grows as he settles into kissing down her body, taking each pert nipple in his mouth when she arches into his touch. But before he can draw her legs over his shoulders, it's Pansy's turn to stop him.

Her muffled moan is a steady chant as she works his cock with her mouth and hand, but Neville's so focused on making her feel good that he doesn't notice the tightening inside of him until it's too close to stave off much longer.

It's all he can do to focus on Pansy's mouth locked around his cock, the tightness and way she's squeezing him just right. Helpless to do anything else, he comes so hard he can't find the strength to be embarrassed by the part-groan, part-yell that escapes him.

They're both boneless in the aftermath, exploring their mutual curiosity with touch and taste beneath the covers. He finds out she's ticklish and she learns that resting her hand on his stomach will make him blush wildly, but Neville doesn't tell her that's something new.

Quietly, he thinks he can get used to this, to her, and it's a little scary how comfortable he is, how quickly he's found this ease that's different from before, but Neville is easy-going. Which also means he's not prone to dwell on something he has no interest in controlling.

Happy Birthday Tofu! Not only are you my brand of sarcastic and sus chicken but you're one of the three people on Earth who can get me to write Panville. I hope your day is as incredible as you are ?.-Ina

The growing plastic production, the lack of their waste management, and fragmented regulatory responses have increased their abundance in the environment. Plastic pollution has created significant environmental concerns leading to planetary boundary threats. As a result, an increasing number of governments and non-state actors have begun negotiations on a legally binding treaty to cover the full-life-cycle of plastics by 2024. While the negotiations were mandated at the United Nations Environment Assembly 5.2 in March of 2022, how the new agreement would link to existing governance bodies addressing plastic pollution at the global, regional, national and local levels requires careful consideration. This analysis examines the main multi-level governance structures in place to govern plastics while highlighting their principal roles as well as shortcomings and gaps. It then explores ways a new global agreement could complement existing governance structures without imposing and duplicating the work of previous agreements.

In general terms, this manuscript addresses how a new global agreement to combat pastic pollution would link to the existing governance bodies. Addressing marine plastic pollution at the global, regional, national, and local levels requires careful consideration. This analysis summarises the main governance structures in place at the global, regional, and (sub)national level, highlighting the principal roles as well as shortcomings and gaps in the current setup. It then explores ways in which a new global agreement could complement the existing governance structures. With UNEA5.2 in sight, this is a highly topical and much debated issue of rapidly-increasing importance at the present time. We believe that this topic lies firmly within the central scope of the journal.

This study has a much wider significance, since it also demonstrates ways forward for improving the plastic pollution issue, a vital endeavor towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals and other environmental and human right drivers. Future undertakings to regulate and improve the footprint of plastics will only be achievable if better frameworks become available and are adopted within existing structures.
