I think the answer is

Rumplestiltskin

Reasoning

"A drink" - RUM
"around pledge's entrance" - PLE is pledge's entrance and RUM is around (close to) this
"makes walking elevated" - STILT
"with a bit of risk" - SK (end of risk)
"Elementary?" - IN (In is the chemical symbol for the element Indium)
"Certainly fiction!" - RUMPLESTILTSKIN is a fictional character
