Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Neville sits beside Hermione in the library as she helps him with his Potions homework. He knows he's failing and he has been trying his hardest to do better in the subject, but there just seems to be something stopping him from focusing, someone who usually sits at the bench before him and is now in the chair on his right.
"It's three drops of vanilla, Neville, not two," Hermione corrects, the smell of honey filling his nostrils as she leans over to read his parchment better. Her hand touches his as she quickly takes his quill and makes the amendment before handing it back to him with a smile. "There."
He tries to keep his cheeks from reddening and stares back down at the parchment, admiring her lovely penmanship on his crude sloppy one. As pretty as she is, he thinks to himself. "Thank you, Hermione," he mutters.
"Any time, Neville," she says, before she continues to dictate what needs to be included in his homework, oblivious to his secret feelings toward her.
