Hi everybody! I figured I would do a Neville/Luna fanfic just because I love this couple SO MUCH! Even so, I am also tolerant of Neville/Hannah too...just throwing that out there! This will also be a comedy, and if you like comedy, you might want to check out my other story, Ginerva Weasley's Guide to Embarrassing Moments. I think that the title speaks for itself.

Disclaimer: I do not, or will ever, be J.K. Rowling... but a girl can dream, can't she? (Hence the username)

Neville's POV

Up, down... up, down...

I watched the silvery blonde locks of hair as she skipped, barefoot.

Up...down...

I sighed. It was hopeless. How could SHE ever like ME? I watched as she, all of a sudden, stopped and sat down on the wet grass, following the progress of a white butterfly. She suddenly got up and started to skip again, still barefoot.

"Luna Lovegood, you truly are one-of-a-kind." I spoke softly under my breath.

"Hello, Neville!"

"Yeah, Hiya Neville!"

I screamed and flew a foot into the air.

"You guys scared the Chocolate Frogs out of me!" I shrieked.

"You see, that's the problem!"

"Yeah, Forge is right! How are you going to get THAT lovely young lady without confidence?"

I looked to where "Gred" was pointing.

"You mean Professor McGonagall?"

Fred...no, no, George...wait, no- OH, WHOEVER saw where he was pointing, and shivered.

"Oh, oh no! THAT lovely young lady!" he said, shifting his finger. I followed his finger and saw Luna, now twirling around in the mud with the butterfly.

"I-I- what are you talking about? That's completely absurd, ridiculous...!"

"Denial isn't just a river in Egypt!" chimed in the OTHER one.

I sighed. "You both know that it's hopeless. She doesn't even notice me." I said forlornly.

"Oh, come ON, Neville! It's your 5th year, an entirely new horizon! SHE'S YOUR HORIZON!"

I followed his finger.

"Professor SNAPE!"

"What? Wait, NO! HER!" he yelled, attracting the attention of several 2nd years walking by. My face turned pink.

I followed his finger and once again saw Luna. I smiled like an idiot... and was horrified to see her smiling back and waving. I was now a shade of some sort of purple. I yelped and hid behind the nearest thing I could find, which happened to be...

"Longbottom, what's the matter? Afraid of the sun?" I found Malfoy, looking down at me as Crabbe and Goyle guffawed hysterically. It obviously went on a little too long, because Malfoy put up a small hand to silence them. They fell quiet immediately. I cowered in cowardly cowardice, not retorting back. They all laughed and walked away.

"What happened back there, Neville?'

"Yeah, are you going to stand for that?"

"Well, what was I supposed to do?"

" Tell him to get his sorry-"

"No cursing, Mr. Weasley." we heard as Professor McGonagall walked past.

"-behind back home where it belongs!"

"You need CONFIDENCE Neville, CONFIDENCE!" they cried out.

"If you like her, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!"

"Fine, what do you SUGGEST I do?"

"Go up to Luna and ASK HER ON A DATE!"

I fainted on the spot.
