Discloser: I do not own any of these characters and as such the story is my own but the characters are not

AN: I Hope you enjoy this as I do have more chapters to add. Please review thank you!

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Hermione came back into the common room just wanting to sleep and relax. Harry, Ron and her had just gone through a harrowing experience. One that she was not going to quickly forget.

To her dismay, Neville was sitting in the exact same spot they had left him in only hours earlier, "Hello Hermione," Neville said.

"Hello Neville, How are you feeling?" She responded.

"Better now that I'm no longer petrified. Can I ask you something?" he responded back.

Hermione sat on the couch opposite him and sighed. There was no relaxation for her, she thought to herself. "Sure what is it?" she replied back.

"Would you consider going out with me?," he asked nervously.

Hermione was shocked. She had never thought about Neville in that way before but now that he asked her, she had to admit he was kinda cute.

"Neville we just started at Hogwarts. I'm just focusing on my studies at this time, but yes I would consider going out with you," she replied with a smile.

Neville hopped up out of the chair he had been sitting in and walked over to Hermione and pecked her on the cheek.

"Thank you for being honest with me and I am so glad we are friends." he said and walked away with a stupid grin on his face and his toad jumping afterwards

Hermione put her hand to her cheek where Neville had kissed her. "Wow," she thought to herself. She definitely started thinking of Neville in a different light and looked forward to what the future might hold for the two of them.
