Neville walked through the door of the tower wearing his "I just got here" face, which thankfully the girls believed.

"Hi Neville!" Luna and Hermione said brightly

"Hey girls" Neville replied happily as he walked in and took a seat between them

"What homework have you got Neville?" Luna asked sweetly

"Astronomy and Divination" Neville replied

"Lucky we're up here then isn't it" Hermione laughed

"What do you have?" Neville asked, giving Luna a polite nod

"Charms" Luna said, returning the nod "But I can't do it up here, it's just learning the spell"

"You should always learn Luna!" Hermione said astonished, but with a laugh

The three of them laughed together, then Neville sat up and looked Luna in the eye

"Luna, will you –" Neville got cut off by the sound of a knocking at the door

The three looked at each other and made no noise what so ever

"It's only us!" The voice laughed as Ron and Harry walked in

"You two gave us such a fright!" Hermione risked a shout "What in the name of Merlin are you doing up here?"

"We saw you run off after dinner in the opposite direction of the library, and then we saw Neville go this way too" Ron said slightly relieved "So I just thought that"

"Ron, Neville and I are just friends!" Hermione said "What on earth made you think?"

Hermione was cut off by Harrys suggestion to sit down

"So, Neville, is this where you run off to after dinner?" Harry asked

"Ermm, yeah, but you can't tell anyone, it's where Luna and I do our homework and get away from the people that call us names and stuff"

"So, are you and Luna?" Ron asked

"Well actually I was just about to…" Neville replied

"You were going to ask me on a date?" Luna said surprised

"Hey Luna, didn't see you there" Said Harry

"Hi Mr. Potter, erm Neville, yes" Luna whispered

"Really?" Neville said astonished, clearly forgetting what he overheard earlier

"Of course silly" Luna laughed

"Well, it's getting late" Ron butted in, jealous that Neville could ask out Loony but he couldn't ask out Hermione

The 5 5th years headed back up to their common rooms, Neville not saying a word until they got back

"Wow, I have a girlfriend" He said when they stepped through the fat lady painting and into the common room
