I owe the inspiration for this fan fiction to J.K Rowling. I in no way own any of these characters but I do own the story line and would very much appreciate no reproductions. Thank you. Please Enjoy.
The Unlucky Chosen
Chapter 1: It all Begins.
It was another boring day in Gryffindor Common Room. The students were going about their normal ways doing homework, playing games, or doing anything to pass the time. It could be said that this particular group of students were rather boring, almost stuck in a rut. On the contrary they were very different than anyone expected, this house held many secrets. Secrets that could make even some of the teachers blush if they had seen some of the things that had gone on in both the boys and girls dormitories. In this very same room is where we find the main character for this story. Sitting looking into his girlfriends eyes, thinking" She is the most beautiful girl in the entire world." Too bad less than a day from now this girl who seemed so perfect would fall so far.
"Ginny…is there something wrong? You seem very deep in thought." Neville said looking at Ginny again. He couldn't seem to help it. To him she was the most beautiful girl in the entire world.
"Yes dear I'm fine." She replied in a less then sweet manner. To tell the truth she seemed rather annoyed, but poor Neville was too love-struck to see it.
"Good. I hate seeing you upset." He said rubbing the back of her hand lightly.
"That's so sweet, Neville." Ginny said bringing his hand up to her mouth and giving it a light kiss.
"It's nothing different than normal dear. You make me want to be a better wizard. I want to be better so that I can make you proud of me." Neville said. The blatant honesty in his voice was almost unnerving. Poor guy doesn't have a clue he is about to be shattered. Almost makes you feel bad for him.
"That's not necessary. Neville look we need to…" Ginny's voice trailed off as she saw Dean Thomas. A guy she had been pining after for a long time. These last few weeks she had been spending long hours trying to get Dean to go out with her. He had promised to give her an answer tomorrow at breakfast. Ginny was very nervously awaiting his answer.
"Ginny…Ginny? There was something you were saying." Neville said he seemed worried about her. He was looking at her with adoration, and that almost made Ginny feel bad for what she was going to do, but she found Neville boring and to clingy for her taste.
"It's not important Neville. We'll talk in the morning." Ginny said getting up and walking to the girl's dormitory quickly. She didn't say good night or anything. She just hurried up the stairs as fast as her legs would carry her.
Neville found himself sighing. He didn't know why. Everything seemed to be going well with Ginny. He really did love her. Nothing could change that, but then why did he feel like something was horribly wrong? If only he knew.
"Hello Neville, is something wrong?" He looked up to see Hermione Granger looking down at him. She looked concerned. Hermione was always looking out for him. She was a great friend to him. Sometimes he wondered how he got so lucky to have all the good friends that he did.
"I am not really sure Hermione. I think something is wrong with Ginny. She didn't seem like herself tonight." Neville said the same sadness he was feeling was being reflected into his voice.
Before Hermione could say anything her boyfriend Ron Weasley came over to join them. He gave Neville a knowing nod and wrapped his arms around Hermione's tiny waist. "Where have you been hiding yourself? I have been looking all over for you Mione." Ron said. There was a difference in his voice. He talked to her with such love and reverence it was cute. Neville usually loved the tone of voice Ron had been trying to teach him, but right now it just made him want to cry. Something was definitely wrong.
"I have been up in the Head Girls quarters Ron. Sorry but I have a lot of homework to get done and I can't have you there otherwise I wont get anything accomplished." She replied turning around to look at him just as yet another couple came bounding up to them. These two no one believed…still. When you look at them you still think of the enemies they once were. These two hotties were none other than Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy.
"Hermione I need to talk to you." Came the rich voice or the one and only Draco Malfoy. He looked just like always white blond hair slicked back and his steel gray eyes pierced through whoever decided to piss him off.
"In a few minutes Draco. I am trying to talk to Neville." Hermione said. She turned back to Neville with an apologetic stare. She really was sorry, and Neville understood. Poor Hermione was swamped with work, Ron, being good friends with Draco, and trying to make sure Neville was good. That didn't even include the last couple added into this group of people.
"No Hermione it's ok. Go talk to Draco. I should probably get to bed. We all have a big test in Defense tomorrow. I am more than worried about that one." Neville said standing and stretching. He was just trying to find a reason to make Hermione feel better. He hated making her feel bad in any way. She didn't deserve that.
"Are you sure Neville? You seemed really upset when I walked up to you." Hermione said. She was genuinely concerned about him. He liked having someone care. It was a nice feeling. He was looking at the people he called his friends, and notice that there was one couple missing.
"Yeah I'm sure. Hey anyone know where Seamus and Blaise are?" Neville asked. Seamus was his best friend, and he was very happy that Seamus and Blaise were so happy together although sometimes their happiness made the rest of them sick. They looked cute together and all, but they were all over each other ninety percent of the time...
"I think there down in the Slytherin Common Room snogging to tell you the truth, Neville." Draco said. "Blaise and I have an agreement. I won't bring Harry down there and Seamus won't bring him up here. It works out well. Except for the other seventh year Slytherin boys they're never prepared to see those two together. Blaise and Seamus have been known to get pretty nasty down there." Draco said causing all of them to laugh. They could all just imagine Seamus and Blaise putting mental scars on more than one Slytherin. It made them all feel bad for the other boys that caught them anywhere, but to them it was just pain funny.
"Doesn't surprise me. Those two haven't been able to keep their hands off of each other as of late. I feel bad for all of those unsuspecting Slytherins. Especially you Draco. You're going to have to go down there and break them up. Blaise isn't going to like that at all." Neville said in a voice which warranted a pretty nasty look from Draco and a great laugh from everyone else. Too bad Neville's heart just wasn't in it. He just knew something was going to happen, but he didn't know when. He honestly didn't want to know. He had a feeling it was going to leave him alone and jealous of the other three couples, and that was bad because these people were his best friends.
"Too right you are Neville. I don't think I want to go down there. With how hard they were snogging when I came up here I am not sure anyone could break them up." Draco said giving a shudder as he pulled his boyfriend closer to him. Harry didn't protest at all. He wanted to be closer to Draco, a lot closer, but first he had to get him upstairs and away from everyone else.
"Thanks for the mental images Malfoy." Ron said trying to get the images of Seamus and Blaise out of his mind. It almost made him sick. Those two were worse than anyone he had ever seen, but you knew those two just worked Seamus made Blaise laugh and Blaise kept Seamus from losing his eyebrows everyday. Although it was funny when they made Draco play messenger when they were in a fight. Which for them just lead to heavier snogging.
"Oh Ron be nice. It isn't Draco's fault that Seamus and Blaise are all over each other. I don't think he would like to see some of the things he has," Hermione whispered into his ear wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into a kiss. This made Ron look away from everyone else he got lost in her kiss until she pulled away from him and he gave her an indignant look.
"Yeah Mione I guess your right. Although I think they might be able to teach Harry and Draco a few things." Ron said and he and Hermione laughed about it. Ron's words however mad both Harry and Draco turn a deep shade of crimson. This also warranted Harry punching Ron in the arm and telling him that they could probably teach him some things too.
"Hermione do you think we could talk before I have to go back down and pull those two apart?" Draco said looking out at the night sky knowing soon he would have to leave Harry for the night and that angered him. That's why he was going to talk to Hermione about his rather daring plan.
"Yeah let's go talk about this…whatever it is." Hermione said kissing Ron and leaving Harry, Ron and Neville to talk. Ron and Harry watched the two walk across the room. Harry wanted Draco back here and on his lap to be honest, and Ron just hated Hermione being alone with another guy even if he was gay.
"Sorry to be so abrupt guys but I really do need to get some sleep." Neville said trying to pass it off like he was just really tired. When in reality he was deep in thought. He was trying to figure out what was wrong between him and Ginny. He had thought everything was going so well, but it looks like it wasn't. Maybe he was just imaging things.
"Well… alright Neville. We'll see you in a little while then." Harry and Ron said. Neville waved to Hermione and Draco and went up the stairs to the seventh year boy's dorm.
