Once again thank you to ElphieThroppDG28 for another review :)
And now here is their first kiss!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
Neville Longbottom sat down at the bar of the Leaky Cauldron after another long tiring day at the Auror Office. It had been over 4 years since the end of the war and still they were finding the odd rogue Death Eater who would try to follow on with Voldemort's wishes. It never happened but it was tiring none the less.
A young pretty blond girl working at the bar saw him enter and wandered over to him to strike up a conversation. This had been a regular occurrence for the past few months. At least once a week Neville would sit in the bar for all evening and he and Hannah would have a long chat in between the dashing about Hannah had to do.
The two of them had fallen into a comfortable routine, Hannah always looking out for him whenever the door opened, and Neville always hoping he finished in time to stop off in the evening. They both enjoyed the visits especially now when the majority of their friends were so wrapped up in rekindling or embarking on relationships now that the war was over and there was hope.
As Hannah began talking about her hectic day Neville stared at her. He had never quite noticed how her blue eyes had flecks of greens around the edges, or how her long blonde hair had a slight wave to it at the end. His thoughts were interrupted by someone calling his name
'Neville? Neville!'
'What? Oh sorry, in a world of my own there…'
'I noticed! Did you hear anything of what I said?'
'Erm, no? Sorry!'
'No bother anyway…'
And as Hannah continued to tell Neville about how Tom was thinking of handing the pub over to her, Neville couldn't stop his mind wandering to Hannah again. Every time she laughed his stomach would swoop and soar, just like when she sent him a smile. He had been growing ever closer to her and she knew things about him that no one else did. He had even taken to her along with him when he went to meet his parents one afternoon. Didn't that mean something? He was 99% certain that he had feelings for her. But should he do something about it? Whilst he was puzzling over this inner turmoil Hannah called his name again
'Neville, are you alright? You were off in your own world again! Is something bothering you?'
And in that second Neville had made his decision. He stood up leaned over the bar and pressed his lips to hers. Then all of his courage seemed to disappear and he pulled back muttering profuse apologies and saying he really should go.
'Neville, wait'
Hannah looked at him and then broke into a smile 'Took you long enough' before pulling him back over the bar to meet her lips for another kiss.
So it would be lovely if you could review! :)
