Chapter 1 (If you all want me to continue it)

Neville put the last volume of The Complete Collection of Herbological Achievements on the new-looking oak shelf next to his desk and sighed. So this is it. He thought, after all those detested years at Hogwarts, he was back to teach Herbology. It was strange to be in this part of the school. He had seen it on Harry's Marauder's map before, but he didn't recall ever venturing into the teacher's corridors before, he had an office and a small living quarter which included a limited kitchen, though he doubted he would use it, Neville had always enjoyed eating in the Great Hall.

Neville was about to go there, for his evening meal, in fact, when I light knock came at his door.

He couldn't imagine who it would be, Neville himself was one of the first teachers to arrive, seeing as it was his first year teaching, he wanted to have all his lesson plans and materials in order, so he and a few other teachers had arrived these 2 weeks early.

The still clumsy man tripped over a box he had forgotten to open and fumbled with the door.

"Luna?!"

Her small, airy laugh filled the room, "You sound surprised!"

"I-I guess I umm just" Neville stuttered, blushing. Despite what he had told himself, Neville really missed his school friends, he had been desperately missing them after the war. They kept in touch, Neville had been to Harry and Ginny's wedding, met Hermione and Ron's daughter, Rose, but they never saw one another quite enough.

"A-are you t-teaching?" He asked, internally cursing himself for stuttering again, Luna looked beautiful, her blond hair cascaded in its natural, carefree way about her shoulders, her blue eyes shone as she looked at her friend.

"Professor McGonagall needed me, I suppose, once Hagrid retired, Care of Magical Creatures." Professor McGonagall had taken the post of Head Mistress, though she also still taught Transfiguration.

The two talked, and made their way down to the dining hall, where they saw the 3 other teachers who had arrived early, Professor McGonagall, Professor Daemon (the new Charms teacher), and, of course, Professor Binns, the ghost History of Magic teacher.

Neville and Luna spent much of the following 2 weeks preparing for the school year together. Luna helped Neville cultivate all sorts of plant species, and they raised Luna's Golden Snigetts together. It was obvious that their friendship had remained strong even though they hadn't seen one another in years, making Neville feel guilt every time he looked at Luna and blushed because he was starting to think of her as something more.
