***Four Months Later***

I was pacing around in my room. These past seven months have been the most god awful months I have ever lived. It all started at the end of fourth year when I started to notice strange feelings toward the one and only Annabelle Harris.

At first, I was appalled by the notion. But after a while, it was like second nature to me. Seeing her every day, sitting with her at meals, seeing her in classes. Then she goes off and gets a bloody boyfriend. Every time I try to ask her out, she refuses! What is this shitty world I am living in?

There has to be someone who knows who the blasted girl is dating...I was trying to think who I've seen or heard her talking with...The only one that comes to mind is Pansy Parkinson. Maybe when she comes in here, I could go and fish some information out of her. I keep running possible boyfriends in my head, but they all come out to be a dead end. I was just about to leave the Common Room when she walked in.

"Pansy!" I tried to seem enthusiastic about seeing her. "Just the person I want to see!"

"Really?" she replied. "I've actually been wanting to see you..."

"I have something I need to ask of you. I understand if you don't want to agree."

I tried to seem sensible.

"What do you need?" Pansy asked, crossing her arms.

"As you most likely know by now, I've been trying to go after Annabelle Harris for quite some time. But, just as I was about to go up and actually talk to the girl, she goes and finds herself a boyfriend!" I paused. "Do you know who she's dating? If you told me, you'd be doing me a huge favor."

"I do," she said nervously. "But- but- I promised Annabelle that I wouldn't tell you. She told me she could help me with a certain issue I've been having."

"Is that so? Well then, I might just have to pry it out of you."

I reached for my wand, intending to threaten her. She got the picture before I had to. Her eyes widened.

"Fine! I'll tell you. She's dating Neville Longbottom! There. Are you happy?"

"Longbottom?" I repeated. I didn't believe her. "How? Why? That boy is a walking disaster!"

"How am I supposed to know how she feels?" she told me.

I shook my head. "All right, Parkinson, if you say so. You've been a great help, you know."

"You're welcome."

I went back to my dorm. Longbottom? LONGBOTTOM? This is absurd! I began pacing again. But this time, I was pacing out of sheer loathing. Every time I turned around, I got angrier and angrier. After a certain point, I stopped.

I said to myself, What the hell am I doing? Here's what I'll do. I'll go and show that punk myself that I'm better for Annabelle than he is.

I grabbed my wand and began to head out with Pansy trailing close behind. Most likely going off to warn Annabelle. I ran right to the Gryffindor common room to find Neville standing just outside the door.

"Longbottom!" I shouted. "I have a bone to pick with you. You stole my girl. I think it's time you payed for what you've done."

I pulled out my wand.

"How did you find out?" he responded in disbelief.

"Someone told me."

There was a brief moment of silence.

He pulled out his wand in response to me.

"Fine," he started. "If this is what it comes to, then let it be this way."
