Work Text:
it was just a normal day as I lay on my bed reading a book. I liked learning about wizarding stuff as my (CareGiver) C/G had told me all about how they used to be one and went to a school named Hogwarts. We had been living in England after they had to switch jobs. As I continued reading I heard a knock on my door "come in" C/G opened the door "hey I got mail, one of the letters was addressed to you so here you go" they handed me the letter and I said a small thank you.
I set my book down after marking where I had left off with a bookmark, the letter had almost a feathery wrinkly feeling to it. I opened the letter with the little red stamp that held the papers together. I opened the letter and read what it had said. my eyes widened as I read each word, I stood up after reading it holding onto the letter in one hand. I walked into the kitchen wear c/g had been sitting at the table.
The smell of almond coffee and the sun had been setting coming thru the window in an almost angelic way."hey c/g guess what" they hummed in response as they had been reading the daily prophet. I smiled at them "the letter, its from a man named Albus Dumbledore. They have accepted me into Hogwarts" c/g smiled (if your care giver is more loving they gave you a hug as well) "that's great. you'll do well yes?" I smiled and nodded "yes ill put my all into it like you had" c/g nodded and I walked away after looking at the list of items id need for the schooling.
~o0o~
a few days after we had gotten the letter c/g took me shopping, we got my wand and a few other stuff id need. I knew id need an animal for it so (either you got a new animal or you use the one you already have) I smiled to myself walking thru a small shop by myself as c/g had left to go get food saying they'd be right back and to stay in that store.
as I walked someone bumped into me, I turned and saw a girl with curly brown frizzy hair. her English accent was thick "oh geez!! im offly sorry" I gave her a smile. "don't worry about it" she smiled back and nodded "Hermione Granger. And you?" I took her hand in a handshake, her grasp was very gentle but firm at the same time. "y/n. nice to meet you"
I looked at the the two books in the grasp off her right hand holding them close to her. "are those for school" she moved the books to where I could see them "they are. have you studied any of yours yet?" I put a goofy thumbs up "I have actually wanted to know what I was getting into ya know?" she smiled and nodded "I do know actually"
~o0o~
time had passed and it was moments before id have to get on the train to leave. (like before if your care taker is more loving you gave them a hug and said goodbye if you don't have a loving one you just smiled and grabbed your bags saying goodbye) I had got on the train and found an empty seat. once I had sat there for a couple minutes with my book open reading more on the studies we'd be doing the door open.
a small girl with platinum blonde hair had walked in "hello, may I sit here?" her voice was quiet and almost ghastly "oh uhh yea go ahead" I gave her a small smile and she smiled back and sat down across from me. the train had left by now and we sat in silence for a few minutes until a familiar frizzy haired girl opened the door with a timid boy next to her, "oh hey y/n, luna, have either of you two seen a frog? neville has lost him"
my eyes go to the chubby cheeked boy. "uhh no I haven't. you?" luna Hermione called her shook her head "I have not." Hermione frowned and said thank you and walked away without the poor timid boy. I smiled and offered a friendly wave in which he returned and then walked away closing the door as he left. "so your name is luna yes?" the blonde girl turned back to me with a smile "that's right, and your y/n" I nodded in response. we chatted a little bit about family and how we think the school year will go before he had arrived at Hogwarts
once arriving a woman that looked to be in her 60s or 70s had greeted us and told us the rules and what is expected of us as we walked to what she called the main hall where we would be dining at.
the first years including myself stood by the front as she had explained how we would be sorted into each house. as she called names it was finally my turn to sit on the creaky small stool to be sorted. after the hat had thought about it he had eventually yelled "HUFFLEPUFF" a small smile on my face as I walked over and sat at the table amongst the other Hufflepuff including upperclassmen.
~o0o~ ~o0o~ ~o0o~
It had been 3 years sense I had been in hogwarts making me a 4th year student. I made my way thru it with a few friends Hermione and Luna were my closest friends but I also had made friends with Lee Jordan and the Weasley twins even though they were upperclassmen.
I had spent a lot of time in the library and read a good amount of books over time. Today as I was sitting in the library and suddenly I felt something tap my foot. I looked down and saw a toad, slightly weirded out but also found it a little silly I picked up the toad and set in of the library table infront of me.
I layed my head down on the table sideways as to look at said toad. I gave it a few pets on the head and it seemed to be enjoying it, if I could tell a frogs emotions I'd say it was very happy being loved on. A couple minutes of just sitting here with said frog a boy comes up, he looked familiar but I wasn't totally sure where I had seen him before.
His stature was timid and he looked nervous as he walked towards me, when he spoke his voice was gentle and spooked sounding. "Umm excuse me?" I lifted my head to look at the boy "I- uhh have been looking for my frog is that your frog or did you find it?" I smiled at him, he looked very tense "oh no I felt it hop on my shoe so I put 'em on the table"
he let out a sigh of relief "oh thank you for keeping him here. I had- uh been looking for him everywhere" I nodded "yea no problemo- say you look familiar have I seen you before" I looked as if his face had gotten a little red from embarrassment "ahh yea- in our first year I had lost my frog on the train and you gave me a wave right after Mione left" the realization it me in the face like a truck
"OHHHH yea I remember you- you had cute chubby little cheeks then" he face got visibly more red and he shifted his stance "I-um yea" he rubbed the back of his neck then did a point to the toad "could I uh grab him back from you" I laughed "well yea obviously he's yours"
he smiled and walked closer to grab the toad in which it tried jumping away, I went to grab the toad at the same time to not let him get away. my hand went over the toad and Nevilles hand went over mine, my face got a little red embarrassed and he retracted his hand. "oh sorry, I didn't want him to get away" I gently picked up the toad and held him out to neville and he got him from my hand, it didn't go unnoticed that his hands were shaking a bit.
he muttered a small thank you and I smiled at him with a nod, he walked away with the toad in his hand and Mione came over sitting at the table. "was that neville?" I nodded with a yea and opened my book "is he alright he looked shaken up" I shrugged "I have no idea, he just came by looking for his toad, luckily I had found him for neville did" she nodded "so that's why he had Trevor" without looking back up at her "is that the toads name?" she smiled at she spoke "yea that jumpy little guy seems to get away from neville a lot" I hummed in response and I could feel her eyes on me
"Nevilles a good friend of mine I think you guys would get along great. he real good with plants maybe you could learn a thing or two from him" I gasped and put a hand over my heart looking at her dramatically "Mione how dare you- just cause I couldn't keep a couple pants alive in my room doesn't mean anything" she let out a small laugh "well still I think it'd be better if you talked to him some more you guys would be come great friends"
I shrugged "yea he seems like a good guy. he gets nervous easily though" she gave me a look "oh well I don't think so. but then again you guys don't talk much maybe he just struggles with meeting new people" I nodded
~o0o~
Later that evening classes were over and it had been time for dinner, instead I had realized I had left a notebook in the greenhouse from earlier in class. I groaned annoyed at having to walk all the way to the green house but did so anyhow. as I arrived I saw someone in there getting ready for social interaction I took a breath and walked in.
the person in there turned out to be neville. "oh hey I wasn't expecting to see you in here" he turned to me quickly obviously not expecting to see anyone has he worked on some of his plants "oh hello- what uhh- what are you doing here" I smiled and walked over to him leaning on one of the tables "well I came looking for my notebook I left in here earlier but your in here, so mind if I ask what your up to?"
he looked nervous and tense same as before "oh uh- im gardening, I have a couple pants the professor lets me keep in here" I smiled and nodded as he spoke "yea Mione told me you liked plants, what's your favorite then?" he smiled happy to be on the topic of plants "oh id say Mimbulus mumbletonia, did you know that their defense is to spray a stinksap that is obvious from the name stinksap very smelly almost like manure" I smiled as he spoke "oh I didn't, and that one is your favorite?"
he nodded he looked less tense but still nervous "anyhow ill just grab my notebook and get out of here for you" he dint say anything as I stood up and looked around looking for my notebook. from the corner of my eye I saw him quickly look around then its like he didn't know what to say so made a ahem sound.
I turned to him and he had my notebook in his hands "is this one yours? I had seen it earlier so I set it off to the side so it wouldn't get lost" he sheepishly smiled and I walked closer to him "it is thank you" I got the notebook a bit of dirt on it from his hands "oh!! im sorry I didn't even realize" he showed me his hands covered in dirt and tried rubbing them together to get the dirt off then tried getting the dirt off the cover of the notebook he looked almost worried.
I touched his hand to get him to stop "neville its alright. a little dirt don't hurt" I smiled at him "I- uhh im sorry I hadn't realized" I smiled at him once again "like I had said, its no worries" he gave a small smile his front teeth a little larger then the rest I couldn't help but find it oddly cute. "well anyhow thank you for being the protector of my notebook" he nodded a little
"I better get back though the sun is setting so-" his eyes widened "oh right yes sorry" I let out a small laugh "bye neville" I gave him a small wave in which he did the same, while walking out I said "also if Trevor gets out again just let me know and ill help you look" he sheepishly nodded and I fully walked out the greenhouse with a small smile plastered on my face.
the next day I had sat in charms class, I didn't really pay attention in this class so sat there just zoning out when a small note had been given to me, it had brought me out of my daydream and I opened it reading it
ℋℯ𝓎
ℐ 𝒿𝓊𝓈𝓉 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉ℯ𝒹 𝓉ℴ 𝓈𝒶𝓎 𝒾 𝓁𝒾𝓀ℯ 𝓎ℴ𝓊𝓇 𝒽𝒶𝒾𝓇 𝓉ℴ𝒹𝒶𝓎 𝒿𝓉 𝓁ℴℴ𝓀𝓈 𝓇ℯ𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 𝓃𝒾𝒸ℯ
－𝒩ℯ𝓋𝒾𝓁𝓁ℯ
I smiled as I read it his handwriting was sloppy and rigged but looked nice. I tore a small piece of paper out my notebook
thank you neville that means a lot.
then drew a little potted plant next to it for him and reached over to him giving him to note. it looked over at me like he wasn't expecting one back but gave me a small smile after he had read it. once class had ended I collected my stuff happy to have a free period.
I knew exactly what id be doing so I grabbed my stuff and walked out. i had a secret tree I kept a small bag in that had a blanket in so I could sit under the tree and either study or just do what ever there, only Mione knew about it. I opened the blanket and sat down with my bag grabbing my sketchpad out, as I leaned against the tree I had begun to draw, 30 minutes had passed and I sat there drawing as I heard a voice startling me
"hey y/n" I looked up and saw Mione with Neville standing next to her "I knew you'd be here" I smiled at her "yea well hi" I let out a small laugh "you two are welcome to sit down if you'd like" Mione sat down and patted the blanket making neville sit as well, all the sudden Mione took my sketchpad as I tried grabbing it back she swiftly moved
"is that neville?" my eyes widened and my face became a little pink from embarrassment "I- give it back" I sat back against the tree as Mione already said what I had been drawing "me?" I turned and looked at neville he looked confused but a bit flustered. "can I show him?" she asked and I shrugged
"I mean he already knows so sure why not" a bit annoyed I watched as she showed him the drawing along with a small little doodle of Trevor in the corner of the paper "oh wow, I've never had anyone draw me before- I- uhh thank you. is this from yesterday" I nodded, the drawing was of him showing me his hands when they were covered in dirt.
"sorry it might be weird or something but I like drawing people- and you have feature not a lot of other people do" his wouldn't pull his eyes away from the paper. Mione budded in helping me "yea y/n has drawn me before to" she flipped a couple pages to hers which was fully done "see? its me"
neville looked back and forth from the paper to her "it is" he laughed a little "its very well done. do you mind if I look at some of your other drawings?" I shook my head "no I don't mind go right ahead" he gave a smile as he started flipping pages looking at the drawings I had done. "is that the Whomping Willow?" I knew what drawing he was talking about so I nodded.
he handed me back the book and I thanked him. "would you mind if I watched you draw?" I shrugged "I mean if you'd like to" he nodded and scooted closer coming to my side. I watched Mione smirk and start to get up "well im going to go speak with Ron and Harry, neville why don't you stay here and hang out with y/n so they don't get lonely" he gave a small nod, and I let out a breathy laugh in response. I knew what she was doing. "alright. bye Mione" she waved as she started to walk away.
I turned and smiled at neville then started drawing again. I felt him close to me as he watched me draw him. I couldn't help but feel my face get a little warm as how close he was. his bed was above my shoulder and I could practically feel his breath on me. I turned and looked at him in which he backed up "I- sorry" I smiled at him "no its ok just wanted to better see you features so I can draw your nose" he looked flustered and suddenly someone plopped down
"AHH- oh, hi twins" Fred laughed "what are you two doing over here all by your lonesome?" George laughed "yea, you two snogging?" my face was red and I picked up my drawing pad and hit them with it not hard but in a defensive way "no you two dimwits im drawing shoo" they laughed as neville sat there watching the scene play out. I sat back and the twins laughed "geez y/n trying to kill us eh?" George laughed I nodded with a smile "so what if I am" Fred yelled a oooooh Fred then looked to neville "so Neville how's it going mate?" neville nodded a little "its alright. and you?"
Fred nodded "its going. so be honest.." Fred squinted his eyes "were you two actually snogging over here" Nevilles eyes widened and he stumbled over his words "uhh n-no" I kicked Freds knee "stop it. he was just watching me draw, not everything is about snogging. you wouldn't know that would you? you little player" George laughed a Fred and Fred playfully rolled his eyes
"yea, yea" George looked at the small watch on his wrist "ehh 10 minutes till next class we ought to get going yea?" Fred nodded and stood up "yea. bye you twooo" Fred teased as the two walked off, I rolled my eyes "sorry about them, they like to tease me anytime I hangout with anyone that isn't them" neville let out an awkward laugh. "don't worry about it" I smiled and put my sketch pad in my small satchel bag
"well sense we do only have 10 minutes im gonna put my blanket up mind hold my books so I and have to put them on the ground?" he stood up "no I don't mind at all" he picked up the books as I stood up "why thank you" he nodded as I folded up the blanket after shaking it off and put it in the bag and placed it back in the tree. I grabbed my books from him and smiled "well im not sure if we have any other classes together but I go to snapes next. you?" he nodded "oh alright then. would you want to walk with me?" he showed a small smile "yea sure id love to"
~o0o~ ~o0o~ ~o0o~
it had been two weeks sense that day under the tree with neville we hadn't spoke much sense then other then a few hi's in the hallway. today was the day everyone could go to hogmeade so I began walking down the hallway when I saw Luna walking so I ran up to her "hey lun how are you" she smiled "im doing well thank you." we walked together to hogsmeade. once we arrived we walked in Madam Puddifoots Tea Shop, once we walked in I saw neville examining one of the plants in there.
luna ordered her drink and I walked over to neville tapping him on the shoulder "hey neville" he slightly jumped started when I had tapped him "oh y/n hi what are you doing here?" I smiled "well I was getting a drink I should ask you cause you defiantly don't have a drink sooo what are you doing? looking at the plants in here" his face was red as he had been caught
"ohh uhhh yea, I did come in here to get a drink but I noticed their plants and got a little sidetracked" he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly "I see. want to get a drink with me and lu-" I turned to point but she was no longer there, "I guess she went off without me. so would you like to stick with me for this time?"
he smiled "sure I don't have anyone else to go with so id like that" I nodded and walked over to the counter with him and we both got our drinks and walked outside. it was slightly cloudy and there was a chill in the air but it was a good day overall. it smelt of rain, as we walked down the way and into a couple more shops. once we had finished in a couple more shops we were walking when It started to rain.
it rained dreadfully so we ran into the three broomsticks inn. we laughed as we got into it. a few glances our way but we ignored them I shook off some water and he shielded his face with a groan but laughed anyhow "geez your like an animal" I laughed "hey rude" he smiled and we walked over to one of the tables and sat down "when do you think the rain will let up?" I shrugged "im not sure"
all the sudden the door opened and you can hear the rain outside mcgonagall walked it it looked to be she was also covered in rain. a good amount of students with her. "any Hogwarts students in here?" us and a couple other people stood up and walked over to her.
her voice was loud as she explained the situation "now students calm down. we will be staying here as the weather outside is to bad to walk back to Hogwarts, I will be assigning you roommates and rooms. now please wait for your name to be called so I can give you your room key along with your roommate" as she went thru the list I turned to neville "what do you think any other students did if they weren't found by the professor?" he shrugged "maybe they ran back to Hogwarts but I don't know how it would go"
neville laughed a little and then my name was called so I walked up there and saw my roommate with the key. it was a boy named Blaise. I had seen him before but never spoke to him. we walked to the room and opened the door I saw neville behind me with his roommate. Draco. he looks terrified, I gave him a smile and walked into the room with Blaise. he looked over at me "so do you mind if I switch with some guy named neville? he's rooming with Draco and no offense but id rather room with him."
I sighed in relief "oh yes thank you. yes lets have you guys switch." he nodded and walked out the room leaving the door cracked. a few minutes go by and the timid boy walks in. "Neville! im so glad Blaise wanted to switch rooms. we're roomies tonight" I smiled at him and he gave an awkward smile back and closed the door "what? do you not want to be my roomie?" he turned back and looked at me "oh no that's not it at all" I put up an eyebrow
"its just- I dont know I just wasn't expecting to be rooming with you is all" I laughed and laid back on the bed "woooow ok I see how it is" he shook his head "no no like- uhh- sorry- I" he stumbled over his word trying to figure out what to say. I sat up "neville calm down im joking" he sighed "geez don't do that" he let out an awkward laugh. I stood up and passed him going into the bathroom. there were to huge robes in there
"hey look we can change out these wet clothes" I smiled and handed him one. he looked at me nervously "oh uhh yea" I walked back into the bathroom and before I closed the door I told him "let me know when your done changing" then closed the door to change.
once I was done I asked thru the door if he was done and a muffled yes came thru the door so I walked out to see him still in his wet clothes and the robe placed on the bed. "you didn't change?" he shook his head "I- uhh no I didn't." I looked at him questionably "uhh alright" there were two bed so I sat on the one next to his
"you'll be very cold thru the night" he shrugged. I scooted back and got in the covers. he took off his shoes and got under his own and I turned out the lamp. I turned over and tried sleeping feeling bad for neville.
about an hour goes by when I hear neville get up and go into the bathroom. a couple minutes go by so I sit up and he finally comes out in the robe. he jumps a little "I didn't know you were still up" I smiled "I told you you'd get cold. now your bed is gonna be wet from your clothes." he frowned and walked over to his bed feeling it and nodded.
I grabbed his hand and pulled him over to my bed "its fine we can just share" he looked nervous "uhh I- I don't know-" I pulled him again now he was on his knees on the bed "I've never shared a bed with anyone else before" I smiled at him "that's ok you don't have to be nervous about anything. just lay down alright" he stayed still for a minute as if he was contemplating weather he should or not then complied.
he got under the covers and played down on his back still. I let out a little laugh and turned away from him laying on my side. I felt him shuffle and lay the opposite way. I turned back at him after I felt him shiver a little. his breathing was steady so I took it upon myself and wrapped my arm around him. I felt him tense up.
"neville your shivering its ok." my body was pushed against the back of his spooning him. a couple minutes go by and I feel him relax. "see? its just like a longer hug." he turned back and gave a nervous smile to me "you can lay your head on me if you'd like"
he complied and laid his head nervously on my chest his small voice nothing more then a whisper "is this ok" I nodded and moved my hand to his hair and pet him a little. he let out a small hum in response. "you getting any warmer" he gave a small nod. I felt his leg slowly go onto of one of my leg landing in the middle of mine. with how slow he went it was like he was scared to move his leg. I gently grabbed his arm and put it over me and laid my hand on his upper arm. I gently played with his hair while slowly falling asleep
when I woke I felt warm, the smell of spices and herbs filled my nose. my eyes opened and I looked around to see I was laying my head on neville with our legs tangled together. I sat up carefully trying not to wake him. I rubbed my eyes once I was fully sat up, neville moved a little moving his arm infront his face with a low hum.
I smiled to my self and slowly got out the bed quietly, I walked into the bathroom and patted my hair down as I had realized how care it had gotten while sleeping. I changed into the slightly damp clothes I had left out to dry last night. once I was finished dressing I opened the door to see neville face to face "AH- Jesus neville are you trying to give me a heart attack"
it looked like he wasn't fully awake but he gave a closemouthed smile. "sorry" his voice had a low grumble to it, "that's alright" I moved so he can go into the bathroom, I walked over to the bed and made it so we can get ready and head back to the dining area for breakfast. a couple minutes go by and neville comes back out his hair still a mess but he changed from the robe, "look at your crazy hair" I said while walking over to him.
he frowned but as I walked closer he eyed me curiously. I reached up and fixed his hair, while I did so I felt him not look away. a light blush covered my face, "how'd you sleep last night?"
he smiled "better then I had expected" I smiled back at him. "im glad, now lets head back to the front and see if mcgonagall is up" he nodded and I opened the door for both of us to walk out. once we got to the front we saw a couple classmates eating while talking so we decided to join in and get breakfast
~o0o~
after eating and chatting for a while it was time to leave as everyone started getting ready to including mcgonagall. all of us started to leave and I walked with neville. "so uhh- I was wondering.." I looked over at he while we walked
"yes?" he looked nervous to asked what he was planning to "well I was wondering if maybe.. we could- uhh cuddle? more often" a smile made is way onto my face "yea sure that'd be fun" he audibly sighed probably happy I didn't shut him down. "alright thanks" I nodded with a smile as we kept walking
once we got back to Hogwarts we were allowed to go back to our dorms if wanting to. I gave neville a small smile "if you'd like you can change into new clothes then I can sneak you in my room" he smiled nervously "sure that sounds good"
I nodded and he walked to his dorm to change as I waited infront the common room for him. a while goes by and neville gets back with something in his hands. I smiled at him and he opened his hands to show a little keychain. it was a cat, "this is for you" he help it out and I gently grabbed it form him
"its so cute!!" I smiled as I held it in my hand. "alright lets go in" I successfully snuck him in and I showed him my room. I set the keychain on my desk side and moved my book over to the side of the bed from where it was originally sitting in the middle of the bed. I sat down and tapped next to me. he sat down slowly like he was nervous, "so uhh how do we like- uhh go about this"
I smiled and pushed him down gently, once he was fully laying down I moved his arm out to lay my head down on his inner arm. once I was laying down I laid on leg over his and tangling our legs together I felt him let out a breath it seemed he had been holding in. "comfy?" he nodded "alright cool" I grabbed my book and read to myself as I laid with him. "uh- so I was wondering if maybe you could read out loud?" I laughed a little "im not the best at reading outloud but sure I don't see why not" as I begun reading outlaid he rubbed my back gently.
~o0o~
a while past and I had stopped reading after a bit and just laid with him, it was lunchtime by now and we both felt hungry so we got up and walked to the dining room and grabbed some food that was out.
once we got food we walked into the greenhouse to eat together but away from others, once we had finished eating he stood up and started watering, working on his plants. I opened my satchel bag with the small cat charm on it and got my drawing book out. as he worked on his plants I worked on drawing him and other things like the plants he was working on.
he turned back to me a smile on his face "how's your drawing going?" I smiled back at him "its going very well thank you" I turned it over so he could see "oh wow yea very nice, I only have a few more plants I have to water before we should probably go back in." I nodded and continued drawing as he continued with his plants. once he was finished up I put my drawing book in my satchel and hopped off the table I was sitting on, "ready to go" he dusts off his hands with a rag.
"yup all ready." he nodded and turned to leave, I noticed he forgot his jumper so I grabbed it and put it in my satchel as well. I ran forward to walk with him, we got inside and walked back to the dining hall. I sat down next to Mione and neville sat on the other side of me. "I see you two have been getting on well then yes?" I laughed and nudged her "yes shut up Mione" she laughed
~o0o~
the next day it was early in the morning and we had classes the next day so I pushed myself out of bed to go to breakfast hoping to see neville. I put on Nevilles jumper and the schools bottoms (skirt or pants doesn't matter) once I was in the dining room I sat next to Luna "is that Nevilles" I looked down at the jumper "uhh yea why?" she gave a smile "oh nothing, here comes neville." he sat down next to me
"hey I was looking for that" I laughed "you left it in the greenhouse yesterday so I grabbed it and decided I wanted to wear it" his face was pink "well uh- it suits you- you uhh look really pretty" my face turned a bit red "thank you neville."
he nodded and started messing with his fingers "so uhh gyriffindor is having a party or something and I wanted to uhh know if you were planning on going" I shrugged "I mean this is the first im hearing of it but if you want me to go, sure I don't see why not" he smiled and nodded
once breakfast had finished neville walked with me to the tree and we got the blanket from the tree laying it out so we could sit and hangout there for a bit. "want to cuddle?" he nodded automatically. he laid down on his back and put his arms under his head, I moved over and laid on his arm looking at his face with a slight smile.
he then moved the arm I was laying on and made it to wear it was on my back. I smiled as I put an arm over his torso, snuggling closer. as time passed we lay there talking about our lives, he ended up telling me about his parents which he seemed very pained to talk about.
I listened to him carefully making sure he knew I cared as he spoke, as the sun begun to set we realized we spent all day just sitting there talking. I sat up and held my knees close to my chest and he sat up as well resting his arms out behind him holding his torso up. we watched as the sunset and I leaned my head on his shoulder as we watched it.
I looked over at him and his face seemed to be red, I smiled at him and looked back at the sunset. once the sun was fully down we put the blanket back in the bag and in the tree. we walked to the gryfindor common room and he sneaked me in. once in the common room we looked around at all the people in there the music had already been turned on and all of people were either dancing or sitting down drinking the fire whiskey they somehow got.
I turned and smiled at neville he looked almost frightened. Ron, the twins younger brother came up with a drink in his hand "neville!! how's it going mate?" he gave a small nod "so a few things, im not sure if you are into smoking weed but there is a room with people passing around some stuff and then also Fred and George got fire whiskey with a couple other drinks over on the table." he gave another nervous nod
"alright thank you kind sir" I gave him a silly salute which he laughed at the walked away. I looked over at neville once again "neville are you alright" he snapped out of whatever trance he was in and looked over at me "oh- uhh yea im alright" I nodded and grabbed his hand "its alright if you don't wanna do this. if you get freaked out we can go to my dorm if you want" he gave a small smile
"thanks, but I think im ok for now" I smiled and dragged him over to a couch "say have you ever smoked weed before neville" think I knew the answer he surprised me and nodded "I have yes. once before. it makes me feel weird" I laughed and nodded "I think its supposed to make you feel weird" he let out a small laugh and nodded "would you want to try again?" he thought about it for a moment "uhh alright sure" I smiled and took his hand walking into the room Ron told us about. when opening the door everyone in there looked over with a smile
"yoooo neville and y/n want to smoke with us" a friend cheered, I laughed and walked over to the circle neville following close behind. we sat down on the floor and a joint was passed to us I took two puffs easily and gave it to neville. he nervously looked at it and I put a hand on his shoulder "it ok if you don't want to." he shook his head and took a hit he ended up coughing quite a bit but I rubbed his back as he stopped coughing "you good?" he nodded "im ok" I smiled "alright. im glad"
everyone was having their own conversations and I smiled at neville "well how do you feel" he shrugged "im not- im not sure" he smiled and it was passed back to me so I hit it again taking two more puffs then handing it to neville in which he took one hit which was good then did another and it made him cough some more. after a couple good conversations and a couple more hits
Fred smirked "are you and neville dating" I put an eyebrow up "uhh no why?" George laughed "your wearing his jumper and you've been all over him" both our faces were red "well no we aren't. we are just good friends" the twins and a couple others laughed "you better tell him that" George remarked "look at him he looks like a lost puppy looking fora soft place to lay down." Fred laughed
"he defiantly has heart eyes for you y/n" I smiled a little and turned to neville his head was looking down at the ground and his face was red. I put a hand on his shoulder "they are just fucking with you nev. don't worry about them" I could tell he had a small smile after I said that. I stood up "fuck off yea?" I joked with the twins and they both said oooooh "trying to protect your boyfriend then?" Fred laughed and I rolled my eyes
"whatever, see you guys" they laughed and said bye. neville stood up with a little help from me, we walked to my door with a little stumbling and a lot of laughs. once we got inside I plopped on my bed and he did the same. he face planted into the pillows, I pet his head while turned towards him "neville?" he hummed and turned towards me "yea?" I smiled and looked between his eyes and his lips "do you umm.. really like me?" his eyebrows moved up surprised I asked him that "I- uhh"
