Chapter 10: I Know

This is all property of J.K. Rowling.

Hannah and I had been going strong for about a year. I had gone to tell gran and my parents the day after the match. My parents looked happy and I received another gum wrapper. My gran told me that she wanted to meet Hannah. I told her that she already knew her, but she said that she wanted to meet my GIRLFRIEND Hannah, so I took her to see my gran and they spent the whole day talking about me, right there I took notice that gran sure likes to embarrass me. From then on Hannah and I visited my gran once a week and Hannah sure looked happy to hear about my childhood.

Harry and Ginny's wedding was in about three months and my birthday was coming up in a week.
Now we were in the flat I had bought to stay in during the summer. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt someone sit on my lap. I look up to see Hannah's smiling face looking down at me. "You'll be older than me now." She stated.
"Don't you worry, you'll catch up soon enough", I teased he, she laughed and leaned down, my lips were inches from hers when someone interrupted us.
"Get a room you two!" Earnie yelled at us throwing a pillow at my face. "I do not wish to see my best friend, who is like my sister, snogging her boyfriend"
"May I remind you that it is Neville's flat" Hannah responded back in a playful way.
"May I remind you that poor Neville probably doesn't want puke all over his couch" He smiled
"He's right Han, how bout we leave it for later" I say, as Ernie playfully sticks his tongue out at her and she returns the gesture. I smile at their antics as Susan comes back from the restroom.
"So how about it?" She asks.

Susan and Ernie had come over to inform us that there was going to be a Hogwarts reunion for the class of 1998. We had been spending a lot of time with them, since they were Hannah's best friends. We spent some Sundays with them or the Fridays we didn't have to work.

"Yeah, I'd love that", responded Hannah. They smiled and looked at me.
"Of course" I say at last. They smile once again.
"Ok, so if you would just spread the word, it's going to take place in the outside of Ottery St. Catchpole, it's a small house but has a huge yard, it'll work, it's Leanne's house Hannah, you know where it is." Susan told us.
"Yeah, I do" responded Hannah
"Well she offered for the event to take place at her house" Earnie informed.
"Who planned the event?" I asked
"Well us, Leanne, Seamus,Padma and Parvati, Dean and Michael, we saw each other one day at the Three Broomsticks and decided to plan the event" Ernie said again.
"Have you told Harry, Ron and Hermione?" Asked Hannah
"No, would you tell them and also tell them to tell everyone else, that was in our year if course."
"Yeah sure" I told them

"Ok, well we better get going, we still have a lot to do." Susan said as she stood up and winked at Hannah, Earnie stood next to her and opened the door for her as we stood up to say goodbye. They left and I plopped back down on the couch, Hannah next to me.

"So about your birthday"
"I already told you Han, you don need to do anything big." I told her for the twentieth time.
"Yeah, ok"
"Hannah!"
"What I said ok, cool your cauldrons" She laughed and I smile unbelievably.
"You're still gonna do it, aren't you?"
"Do you think I'm gonna do it?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah" I responded simply
"I always knew you were a smart person" She teased, I laughed and started tickling her.
"No, no, no, Neville, stop it, please!" She started screaming and laughing, I laughed at her and stopped.
She stood up straight again and looked at me. "You'll pay for that" she stated.
"Oh yeah?" I asked leaning in.
"Yeah" she responded, closing the gap between her lips and mine.
Once we broke apart I smirked at her. "I should tickle you more often, I that's what I get from it." She laughed and responded, "Oh that wasn't it". I laughed and smiled at her.

"But come on Nev, what would you like as a present?"
"I have everything I ever wanted"
"Stop being so cheesy, I'm serious" I laughed.
"I'm serious too" she smiled at me.
"Come on Nev, please" she pleaded.
"Fine you want to know so much, then I'll tell you." She smiled and leaned forward looking at me.
"I want you to spend the whole day with me"
"I'm already doing that"
"Then you don't have it all set"
She sigh, "You are way too stubborn" she said leaning her head on my shoulder.
"I know" I said closing my eyes.

Suddenly I remember that she had gone to eat lunch with the girls.
"What did Ginny want to tell you today?"
"Oh" she said opening her eyes and smiled. "She asked me to be her bridesmaid"
"That's nice"
"Yeah, I'm really glad I got to know all of your friends better, they're all nice people"
"I'm glad too" I smile at her. "So do you just have to show up?"
She laughs, "Of course not Nev, I have to help with the wedding and to try on dresses."
"Oh, ok" I say
We let silence fall over us until it was time for Hannah to leave.
"Where do you have to go?" I ask
"You know, here and there", she winks and pecks my lips.
"I'll see you tomorrow then" I say, although it came out more like a question.
"Of course", she reassures and walks out the door, I wave at her as she disapparate.
