Chapter 3: Mobile Phones
Neville had no way to contact Delaney so the next time he saw her was two weeks later. It was at their first meeting spot also known as the tea house.
"Do you have any way I could contact you, we keep forgetting to exchange contact information," Delaney giggled.
Neville nodded said. "Yeah."
Delaney scribbled down her phone number and handed it to Neville. He guesses this means he'll have to get a cell phone. Not that he minded though. He wrote down his address.
"I haven't written a letter in a while so my handwriting might be messy," Delaney giggled.
"That's fine, mine is probably just as messy."
Delaney smiled at him. They continued talking.
It was few days later Neville had asked Hermione to help him pick out a cell phone since she's the one who knows the most about cell phones being a muggle-born and all. She had talked Harry into getting a cell phone.
"Hello Neville," Hermione greeted.
"Hi Hermione."
"So, what changed your mind?" Hermione asked suspiciously.
"Oh, it's a nice change."
Hermione smirked at her boyfriend's god brother and said. "It's a girl isn't it?"
Neville just rubbed his neck nervously in response. Hermione just shook her head laughing.
"Is this a good phone?" Neville asked Hermione showing her a Gryffindor red phone.
"Of course you would pick a scarlet phone," Hermione said.
Neville just shrugged and they purchased the phone. He knew Delaney's favorite color was red and scarlet was the closest he came.
"Harry wants to meet him for lunch," Hermione said.
Neville nodded and said, "Okay."
The two former Gryffindors went to the nearest restaurant. Harry greeted Hermione with a kiss on the cheek and gave Neville a hug.
"So, did you two find a phone?"
Neville took the phone out of the bag and showed it to Harry.
"Isn't red Delaney's favorite color?"
Neville blushed and said."Yes, but this phone isn't red."
"Yeah, sure it isn't," Harry grinned.
That just caused Neville to blush even more.
"So, you did buy this just because of a girl," Hermione said, smirking at her boyfriend's god brother.
"Yes, I did but it's not like she asked me to. I wanted to," Neville said, defending himself even if she had asked him to buy it he would've bought it in a heart beat.
Harry and Hermione nodded. Hermione asked. "So, what's this girl like?"
"She's quite smart, she was in the top of her class at Cambridge where she studied to work with kids," Neville smiled.
"She sounds like Hermione."
"Delaney is a bit like Hermione but a lot more laid back. She does love to read when she has time."
They nodded and continued talking. It took Neville a few hours to figure out to use it once he got home but it was fun learning about muggle technology. By the time, he finished it was too late to call Delaney. So he went to bed. He'll call her tomorrow.
