My second fanfict, feedback appreciated :) I do not own any of the Harry Potter universe, all rights to the author, JK Rowling
When their DA meeting was over, Neville decided to walk Luna down to the Ravenclaw common room. They took forever, and when they finally reached the door, they stopped. They had been talking about their meeting up to that point and now an awkward silence overtook. No, not an awkward silence. A tension. Awkward. Maddening.
"Thanks for walking me down, Neville. No-one ever did that before. Most people think I'm strange. Your different"
"Really? ...most people don't like me either."
Realising what he said, he hurriedly corrected himself
"I meant.. I didn't mean... that people don't like you.. I really like you.. as a friend obviously.. well mayb- I should just stop talking... so- sorry I'm sorry if I ups-
"You didn't. It's ok" she said smiling.
"So.. see you soon" said Neville, going red and feeling incredibly stupid. He almost told her!
He began to walk down the stairs and back to the gryffindor common room when
"Neville" Luna said quietly.
He turned. She was at the foot of the stairs. She walked up to him and kissed him. He responded. Gently. After a few seconds, or hours in Neville's opinion, they broke apart, and it was hard to say who was redder. Neville looked around the corridor to see if anyone saw them, and when he turned back, she wasn't there. Instead he heard a door shutting quietly.
If you got this far, thanks, please give me feedback on how to get better and what to fix. N
