Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Neville Longbottom. If I did I would have bought a mansion already!:P

Katherine´s POV

I think I should start with a brief introduction of myself, my name is Katharine Green, I´m 17 years old and a seventh year at Hogwarts. Blood status: Pureblood. House: Slytherin. Before you start picturing me as a Death Eater I shall state that the Battle of Hogwarts was 5 years ago and my parents took no sides during the war. We are proud of being pureblood wizards, proud of our name, clever, don´t really deal with muggles and muggleborns (although I LOVE muggle music and films) but that´s it. We are not murderers. However some people, especially Gryffindors don´t seem to understand that. They barely talk to us Slytherins and barely include us in their parties, clubs and outgoings, some of my fellow housemates don´t care but I do; it hurts me a little to be judged by the house I was sorted into when I was eleven and my personality traits which could be very well used for good.

My best friends are Rachel, Georgiana, David (dating Rachel) and Peter (dating Georgiana). So yeah they are couples, for which I am very happy although sometimes I feel left out. Like the odd number, especially when we are all 5 chatting in the common room and they start snogging and I just sit there still like a Greek statue not knowing what to do. But they are really good friends, always sticking up for me when the other Slytherin girls (and sometimes from other houses) laugh at me every time I walk by and spread rumours usually involving me, some boy, muggle handcuffs, and Merlin knows what else. I do find myself quite attractive and powerful (Slytherin charm) but I hate how all the girls hate me and my reputation as "the slut". Besides, if I really were a slut, don´t you guys think I would´ve stolen David or Peter already? I don´t mean to brag but I could basically get any guy I wanted, then I guess there must be a reason why don´t even try to right? And that reason according to me has a proper name: Neville Longbottom.

Neville´s POV

After the Battle of Hogwarts my life changed dramatically. People were all around me and Harry, now it wasn´ t just the Golden Trio; it was also me, Neville Longbottom, son of Aurors, the one who led the DA rebellion when Voldemort took over the Ministry, the one who killed the snake.

I felt so proud of myself, however the wounds that war left me were not entirely healed, I won Gran´s pride and acceptance, but the pain of losing my classmates was still almost unbearable. There was a part of me that was broken, DA wasn´t just a teenage gang, it made a change, it inspired people; and these brave soldiers, I can still remember the sound of their voices, what they liked, what they didn´t. I still have that coin we used to send messages with. I see their names engraved on the walls of the Great Hall every day. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that part, I came back to Hogwarts to do my 8th year and then again to teach Herbology since Professor Sprout retired and became head of Gryffindor. Professor McGonagall took over the post of Headmistress much to everyone´s delight. It´s taken me about 2 years to get used to be on the other side of the classroom, but I finally managed. The students here are so kind to me, it certainly is very flattering when the girls smile at me. Although they are all very pretty and the age is not much of a problem (I´m 22) I do not focus much on my er...sex li...no, no, no, forget that word. Romantic life, yeah that´s it.

Anyway, I am an Auror like my parents and one of the "heroes" of the last war, but most of the time I am just the chubby Herbology geek that teaches at Hogwarts and has no girlfriend.

My eyes sweep through the Great Hall from the Teacher´s table. There was my house, where most of my students winked their eyes and smiled at me, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw (Luna´s house since she was now the Charms teacher) and at last... (Sigh)...Slytherin. Not exactly my favourite house because... well it´s Slytherin. Do I need to say more? Well, at least they treat me with respect since I´m the teacher and they are the ones that lost the war, some of their parents are even in Askaban for their crimes. I have to admit that they are very nice compared to Malfoy and other Slytherins back in my schooldays. I shall never forget names such as "Longarse", "Fatbottom" or "Fatarse".

They are all ignoring me right know as I scan their table, all of them except one. I recognise her as Katherine Green. She stares at me but I can´t read her eyes. My sincere apologies to my Gryffindor "fans" but this girl is very, very attractive. Her straight black hair contrasts her pale skin, small round, nose and emerald green eyes. I´ve seen her in muggle clothes on weekends and Merlin does she not have a nice figure...oh shut up Neville! Yeah she might be very appealing to me physically but I still hate her, she dares me in class and just seems so evil I can´t stand her. Besides for what I´ve heard she wouldn´t miss the chance to rape every male wizard at Hogwarts if she had it.

Katherine´s POV

He caught me staring at him from the Slytherin table and he blushed. Aw, come on he is very cute with that chubby face and how he blushes or when he gets mad. It hurt me so much knowing that he hated me and that he probably believed all those nasty gossips about me flying around.

Kate...Kate...KATE!

What? Sorry, hey- I jumped at the sound of Georgiana´s voice back in the common room.

Kate, are you ok? You seem kinda lost- said Rachel.

Ehm, no that´s fine, I'm just...- not even my best friends new about this secret massive crush I had on Neville.

In love perhaps? - inquires David, oh shit. Now they all look closer at me.

Maybe...- I try to answer as casually as possible.

Alright, who is it?- asks Georgiana putting an arm around Peter´s shoulder, I'm trapped.

Mmmm, I really don´t know if I should tell, not because I don´t trust you guys it´s just that it´s embarrassing just to think about telling someone.

Tell. Us. – demands Rachel pointing at me with her wand- Merlin that girl can be scary when she wants to even if I´m her best friend therefore I know she would never hex me.

Alright. Fine. - now they all look at me with both concern and inquisitively- Professor Neville Longbottom.-now they know.

Soooo, what do you think of Kate up till now? is she alright for Neville? next chapter coming up!
