A Harry Potter Novel Changed

A more in depth story of the "other" characters

The sun shone brightly through the gossamer curtains of her bedroom. She lay curled up to her loving boyfriend Neville. He was a quiet boy, mostly kept to himself, but god he loved his girlfriend. There was no denying it; he was in love. Brin was the perfect girl for him and everyone knew it. He couldn't resist her and she couldn't resist him. Everyone knew it was a matter of days before they did some real bed shakin'. Harry was supportive of Neville and his girlfriend, tho' he didn't give it too much thought as he was pretty busy with is girlfriend Briana, and Ron was a bit more content with his girlfriend Krista. Sure there had been some bumps in the road between the two, like the hate potion slipped in their drinks, and the time Krista was kidnapped by her obcessed ex, McCain, but all was well for now. The only people discouraged by the thought of Brin was Ginny, and perhaps Hermione though she was pretty jealous of Krista. Ginny loathed Brin. Therer was so much distaste and hatred in the way they spoke to each other, that it was unmistakable that the two girls would one day kill each other over Neville. The boy who nobody could really bring themselves to like in the first year were now surprised at how nicley he had grown up.

Neville rolled over to Brin and smiled wryly, "Hi."

She looked up at him with a devilish look in her eye, " You were bloody terrific" She fell on his chest and kissed his forehead slowly going down, his nose, his mouth. She paused a moment before going further. Neville could never have imagined this in his entire life. His erotic fantasies were blissfully coming true. But they shattered when the sound of footsteps appproched them. Brin sat straight and the two young lovers looked at each other in shock. This couldn't be happening! She quickly hid him in her armoir and lay in her bed, covered up with her red comforter. The door opened and there stood her older brother, Cedric in the doorway.

"Morning sis, you've been sleeping for ages!"

"Uh, Hi Cedric, what've you been up to?"

"Why would you ask?" His face flushed as he looked away. Brin's mouth formed a sly smile.

"Cho." she relaxed a bit. "Is she still here?"

"What are you talking about?" Cedric laughed nervously. Bloody hell! How could she have known? Unless...

"Sorry for changing the subject, but mum and dad have said that you have a new boyfriend. Only been dating him for a couple of days now, am I right?"

"Well, yes. A week, almost two." She was puzzeled. Where was this conversation leading?

"Yeah, So who is the lucky fellow?"

"Neville Longbottom"

"Ah, the kid with the toad from your first year. He's always forgetting stuff. One day he might even forget you."

"He would never forget me! He doesn't forget anything now! That was first year, everyone forgets things in first year."

"He's quite the herbologist, not much of a man, taking care of plants all day."

"He's every bit as manly as you if not more! Besides he's much more gentler, and kinder than you'll ever be! He's a senstive man and that's what makes him the best! He's not afraid that everyone knows that he likes plants and insects and that herbology stuff!" She had somehow sliped a little out of her comforter. Her chest showing.

"When did you start sleeping naked?" Cedric asked.

"It was bloody hot last night."

"Really? I had my fireplace roaring to keep me warm. It's just about Christmas."

"Well, maybe I'm starting a fever."

"Well, then I guess that means no Neville for a bit..."

"Well, maybe I don't have a fever."

Neville's cramped body was nearly dressed in the armoir, but he needed to get out soon...

"If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to get dressed now."

"I'll be back up in a couple minutes."

Brin raced over to her armoir, opened up the doors and Neville fell on her feet.

"Sorry Neville," she whispered. She out on her clothes and the two sat for a moment.

" Jump out of the window and go to my door."

" What? Why?"

"So my parents know you're here and think that we didn't do anything last night Neville."

" O.k." His answer was unsure, but he would do anything for Brin. If she wanted him to jump out of a window then so be it.
