I do not own Harry Potter, or any of J.K. Rowlings wonderful characters.

If I did, Neville would have married Luna, Fred and Remus would still be alive, and I would be a billionare. )

This duel takes place in the RoR, for Dumbledor's Army.


With a palpitating heart, sweaty palms, and his lunch threatening revolution, he stood across his opponent.

Practicing duels were never this nerve racking.

Then again, he hadn't practiced with her before.

Would she be mad if he won the duel?

Think him weak if he lost?

Which would make her like him better?

Did he even have a chance with her?

Maybe if he won the duel, she would see him as dashing.

...Or would she see him as a show off?

If he let her win...well, she wouldn't have to know, really.

He could congratulate her on a job well done.

?but he always had a knack of messing things up.

He had to choose, and make it quick, but what to-

"EXPELIARMUS!"

A dreamy eyed Luna walked over to he defeated dueling partner.

"Neville, I do believe you were attacked by a Nargle. Are you alright??"
