The reader is a drawer sorry if you can’t draw
Based on if you aren’t in the same house as him
Y/H: your hogwarts house
It was my 4th year in hogwarts. I was a y/h and it was going well. I had a few friends but mostly stayed by myself, while I walked to my first class I noticed someone in the greenhouse. I figured it’d be professor sprout but it sounded like a male talking to the plants, I peaked thru the door and seen it was another student.
I smiled a little and headed off to my first class, while sitting in charms a girl next to me peaked over and looked at what I was doing. “Is that Neville?” I looked over at the girl. I had seen her hang out with the famous Harry Potter but I had never spoken to her “um maybe? I don’t know I just saw someone in the greenhouse this morning and decided to draw them”
she smiled “that must be Neville then. He loves plants, all he seems to talk about really” I nodded and this girl continued to talk “have you not met him before? Well seeing at your a y/h not that surprising. He doesn’t really talk to other people outside of our house” I nodded “no I haven’t. Who are you?” She smiled once again “I’m Hermione Granger, id say I’m one of Neville’s best friends” I felt my face flush, one of his best friends caught me drawing him.
“Does he always garden in the morning” she nodded “he does. Well he gardens a lot. He gardens so much that professor sprout gave him an extra key to the greenhouse so he can tend to the plants when he wants” I nodded with a astonished look on my face “wow that’s a lot.” She nodded “your drawing is really good you should show it to him” I scoffed a laugh “yea like that’s gonna happen”
she moved an eyebrow up “why wouldn’t it?” I shook my head a little while my head rested on my hand “I am not showing my drawing to a boy I’ve never met cause I saw him gardening, it will make me look like a stalker” she laughed a little and nodded
“well I could show it to him and say he has a secret admirer” I automatically shook my head “yea no!! I guess I will show it to him tomorrow morning” she smiles knowing she won. The day continued like any other day, going to all my classes bored out of my mind.
It all went by rather quickly and next thing I know I’m walking to my first class again and I see him in the greenhouse once again. I knew I had told Hermione I was going to so I thought about it for a minute before actually walking in.
I creeped over to him slowly as if he was a scared animal that would run off if I ran up. “Hi there- Neville right?” I spoke up and he jumped slightly and quickly turned around “oh uh yes that’s me, w-who are you?” He stuttered slightly and I found it rather cute
“I’m y/n. I saw you in here yesterday and I uhh drew you” I felt my face heat up a little and he looked rather confused “you drew..me?” I nodded with an awkward smile “yea Hermione said I should show it to you so..” I pulled the drawing out of my school cloaks pocket.
It was folded as neatly as I could make it “here it’s a little silly but I hope you like it” my hands were slightly shaking I hadn’t even noticed until I was holding it out for him to take. He walked a bit closer and grabbed the drawing gently out of my hand and opened it “oh wow- this- this is great.”
He sounded genuine as he spoke “really? You like it then?” He nodded “yes I think this looks great- but you forgot my buck teeth” he laughed a little and my face flushed “I didn’t even notice from where I saw you” he nodded “just messing around”
I smiled “hanging around plants all day and buck teeth? Are we sure you aren’t secretly a rabbit?” He smiled and actually laughed at that “thank you for the drawing” I smiled and nodded leaning against the counter behind me “of course”
