Curious

by Elphie

Hannah Abbott was always curious about Neville Longbottom. She knew he was in Gryffindor and that he was clumsy and shy, but she somehow knew there was more to him than that. That's why she found herself sitting with him in one of the greenhouses one day in their second year, assuring him that he was worth so much more than he realized.

Over their time at Hogwarts, Neville and Hannah grew steadily closer. Neville didn't realize Hannah was in love with him, and he didn't realize his own feelings until his seventh year. That's why he sought her out after the war and worked up the courage to kiss her: she had been right about him being brave, and he finally saw what had been in front of him all along.
