Susan Bones was stuck. Not literally but figuratively. She was stuck between her best friend Hannah Abbott and their shared crush. That said crush was a Gryffindor in their year named Neville Longbottom. Neville shared their interest in Herbology. He was probably the most tolerable of the Gryffindors at least in Susan's opinion. Neville was nice and quiet. So, he fit better with her best friend Hannah but she couldn't help but be drawn to him. She was in the Hufflepuff common room writing a letter to her aunt Amelia about her current situation. Although, she wasn't sure her aunt would be able to help much.
Dear Aunt Amelia,
Hello, how are you. I'm good. Lessons are going well. I need advice on something. It's friend and relationship advice.
You remember Hannah, right? Well, we like the same boy. He's a Gryffindor in our year named Neville Longbottom. She's liked him a little longer than I have. I can't help but like him even though he's a better match for her.
Love,
Susan
She hopped of the couch and walked down to the Owlery. She found an owl and sent the letter. She started walking back towards the castle.
"Susan, isn't it?"
She turned to see a familiar redhead. She noticed she always hung out with Neville.
"You like Neville don't you?"
Susan nodded.
"I think I would like you with him better, us redheads need to stick together," she said as they walked back to the castle.
Susan nodded. Once in the castle they parted ways to their respective common rooms. Susan sat back on the couch.
A few days later, she received a letter back from her aunt. It read:
I was in a similar situation when I was your age. It's been one of my biggest regrets that I didn't fight for him and let my friend 'win' of sorts. My advice is to tell him how you feel about him. The worst he can say is "I don't like you"
Love,
Aunt Amelia
Susan hopped up from the couch and ran to find Neville. Only to find him in the middle of a snogging session with her best friend. It was too late. Susan walked away defeated. She should've told him how she felt about him instead of being a chicken. Though, this was unlike Hannah just to be snogging a guy. She was not stuck anymore.
