Harry was walking to the great hall for dinner on Friday evening, twos days had pasted after dean had dumped ginny, and now ginny wasnt talking too dean or ron, hermione wasnt talking to ron, ron wasnt talking to hermione, and everyone was venting to harry.
As he walked into the great hall however he saw a sight that made his heart leap, fall and then his mouth smile all at the same time, his heart leapt a the sight of ron and hermione sat facing eachother, giving eachother dirty looks still, but better than Wednesday evening when ron had sat at one end of the table and hermoine the over, his heart fell when he saw ginny and dean smiling holding hands and giggiling, that didnt take long, and smile when ron smiled at hermoine and she smiled back, before hitting him over the head with the book she was holding.
"care to fill me in?" said harry sitting next to ron.
" simple really" said ron with a mouthful of food, making hermoine shoot a dirty look at him.
"dean cornered ginny in the common room, explained that he had dumped her because he was "scared" of me, and explained to ginny what i had said to him, so ginny forgave him, hexed me, and still isnt talking to me". He stopped talking and carried on eating like he hadnt eaten in weeks.
Harry looked at hermione, hoping she would fill him in on the rest, she rolled her eyes at ron and looked at harry " i had been sat next to ginny in the common room, and when ginny and dean walked off, ron came over to me and said sorry for being childish," at this ron snorted and with another mouthful of food said " i didnt say sorry! I said i shouldnt of stopped talking to you when you were just looking after a friend, i still think i was right..." ron trailed off, knowing the look in hermoines eyes could only mean trouble, but much to harry's and everyone alse at the table's supise she just took a sip of her drink and rolled her eyes.
Later on, in the common room, fred and george with sat with a bunch of first years, slowly selling them every item they could think of, when neville came bursting into the room looking hot,red,shiny and out of breath.
He looked round and shoot up the stairs to the boys dorm, causing every guy in the room to look at eachother and shoot upstairs after him. The girls gigglied, a reaction like that could only mean one thing.. neville had found a girl.
"neville, what's happened?" went harry, looking at the still red but not as shiny neville sat on his bed looking at his feet.
"n.n.n..nothing" stuttered neville.
"o yes of course its nothing, nothing that made you shoot up the stairs looking very red and shiny and a bit lovestruck" said fred rolling his eyes, looking scarly like mrs weasley.
"loo..vestruck? no..oo dont be stupidd" stuttered neville, o yes this was the work of a girl, nothing alse had a 15 year old boy in this state.
"neville, come on, spill" said ron, sitting down on harrys bed facing neville, as did harry,fred and george, all the other boys wondered downstairs, already bored.
"ok, but promise, not to tell anybody ok?" said neville looking like he had just walked into fluffy, the 3 headed dog that was hargids pet in there first year.
"promise" said all four boys, harry meant it, ron fred and george on the otherhand? Not a chance.
"Ok, well um, ok well..." neville stuttered
"spill nev, you can trust us " said george, winking at his twin.
"Ikissedluna" splutted neville going even redder than harry had ever seen ron go.
Everyone was looking at neville, dumbfounded when harry spoke " ok slow down, and explain".
"ok well, me and luna have become friends over th e summer, owling eachother after meeting though ginny, and i bumped into her after dinner and offered to walk her to ravenclaw's common room, to witch she nodded and skipped off ahead, when we got to ravenclaw's portait, i looked at her and it hit me, right then, that she is the most beautiful girl i have seen, i dont think i even thought at that point, but she looked at me and i kissed her, before splutting something and running off".
"smooth nev" went fred smirking.
Neville hid his head in his hands but they could still hear him say " i dont know why i did it! Im such a prat!"
"witch bit? The kissing loony lovegood bit or running off?" went ron, witch then caused harry to elbow him in the ribs.
" dont call her loony!" shouted neville, shocking everyone, " the running off bit, im happy i kissed her, i really like her".
"right" went harry, knowing he had no idea what to say to neville, "you need to talk to hermione".
