A/N: Originally written as a comment!fic for curiouslyfic's prompt of Pansy/Any Weasley, meeting the in-laws. Written in about 10 minutes, just for fun.
"I'm not going in there." Pansy turned on her heel and had almost made it down the porch steps before Hugo caught her and whirled her back around.
"You have to. She's going to be your mother-in-law. You have to meet her."
"I do not! Besides, I met her before. I sat through six insufferable years of classes with swotty Granger and—" She looked at Hugo who was shaking his head in a negative fashion.
"Oh, sorry. I keep forgetting she's your mum." She snarled her nose. "How'd you turn out so nicely shaped and all with them for parents? You sure you weren't adopted?"
"Pretty sure." Hugo grabbed her arm and tugged her back down the steps the way they'd come, seeming to reconsider this whole evening. "Maybe it's just best for you to meet again on the day of the wedding."
"No, no!" Pansy jerked away and proceeded back to the doorway and knocked before she could change her mind. "You're right. You and I are going to be married. I have to get used to the idea of—"
Hermione opened the door cutting off Pansy's words.

"Dear Merlin, your hair may be even worse than when we were back in school. I didn't think that possible. Have you never heard of conditioner? And oh dear, your nails. You will get a manicure before the wedding, right?"
"Smashing way to start things," Hugo said out of the corner of his mouth.
"What was that rude?"
"You think?" Hugo's eyes grew wide.
Pansy shrugged. "I was on my best behaviour."
Hugo held out his hands in a 'what do you do?' fashion and his mother glared daggers through his fiancé. Someone should invite Rita Skeeter, the old bat, to the wedding because Hugo thought there would be plenty of things to report upon before the night came to an end.
