Secrets of a Quiet Wizard

Chapter two: Meet the Parents

Neville hit the ground with a thud. Dirt flew up like an atomic bomb around himself. He winced as he rubbed his bum. What a fine bum it is indeed, was Brin's first thought, but as he looked up at her ,she quickly transitioned into sympathy. She couldn't stand to see him in pain, especially in thier fourth year when Moody tortured that spider in front of them. She just wanted to go up there and hug him, but then they weren't seeing each other. No. That was followed by a dark year. The year she saw Draco. What she ever saw in him was beyond her. She was blind, she had been single for so long her mind made up false affections for him, because she knew he would have her. But it quickly turned sour when he couldn't comprehend that concept of compassion. That's what started the fight.

"What are you doing?" Draco screamed.

"I can't take it anymore! You never show any compassion, you never say you love me."

"Yes I do!"

"When?! Your supposed to show compassion towards your significant other!"

"Then maybe your not my significant other!"

"Your so full of yourself, Maybe your not MY significant other! Your a, a, worthless piece of dung!" Then his face became very crimson and it looked as if he were going to explode. Before she knew it a blast of blue light was shot at her in the face and then everything became black. She heard voices, male voices. That of Harry, and Neville. Neville was the one who revived her. When she saw him her face instantly flushed as she looked the Gryffindor in the eyes. Her brother told her not to get involved with Gryffindors or Slytherins. So after the row with Draco she decided he was right. But as they neared their 7th year they found they couldn't resist each other and Neville made the first move. That was about a week ago, a week before christmas break.

"Brin! Someone's here for you!!" She quickly gathered herself up and returned to her boyfriend.

"Neville, Dear has come to visit!" Her mother was so full of herself, whenever she had someone over.

"Neville!" She cried and ran into his arms, whispering" It worked."

There had never been a more embarrassing moment in her life then now. Seated on the couch, in front of her parents...They liked to play 20 questions with everybody...

"How old are you exactly?" Her parents quizzed. Brin relaxed a little bit...she knew they wouldn't be upset with Neville's age.

"17 M'am. Only a few months older than Brin." She could see the wheels turning in her parent's heads.

"Do you work?"

"I'm an assistant at Madam Olar's Flower shop. We have the most beautiful roses around this time of year, but of course nothing as beautiful as your daughter." Neville looked over to Brin and they shared a smile and a blush.

"Well...who are your friends? Which house are you in?" SHIT! Brin knew her parent's thoughts about Gryffindors...
