Chapter 11: Glad you like it
Unfortunately I do not own Harry Potter
"Merlin, come ON Neville!" She half yelled.
I laugh, "What's the hurry anyway?"
"You'll see, now hurry up!" She said, pushing me out the door of my flat.
Today was my birthday and Hannah had kept her promise of spending the whole day with me. She was now making me go somewhere at 8 at night.
I turn abruptly making her jump a bit, a startled look on her face.
"Where are we going?"
"Nowhere"
"Can't we stay home?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because…"
"Bec.."
"Neville! We'll be late!"
"Late for what?"
"For th…something", she said suddenly realizing she was about to say it. I smirked.
"Stop that", she said
"What?"
"That"
"I don't know what you're talking about" I smirked even more.
"That… your smirk, you know I don't like it when you do that?"
"Why not?"
"Because it drives me crazy" she said in a whisper.
"What?", I ask teasing her.
She narrows her eyes at me. She sighs and then pleads , "Can we please go, we'll be late"
"Why can't we aparate?"
"Because we can't"
"But…"
Suddenly her eyes lit up and she smiled innocently.
"Don't you want to take a walk with me?"
I laugh, "If you it it that way, then fine"
She grins and graves my hand.
"Yay" she exclaims like a little kid, "lets go, let's go!" I laugh as she drags me running outside.
About 30 minute into our walk, more like jog, Hannah stops in front of the Leaky and smiles.
"You brought me to see you work… not that I don't love it, but why?" I ask.
She smiles an rolls her eyes playfully. "Of course not Neville, just come on!".
She drags me once again into the dark pub.
"What am I suppose to be loo…"
"SURPRISE!"
I jump about five feet in the air as Hannah laughs. The Weasleys, my gran, Harry, Hermione, Luna, Rolf, Seamus, Dean, Earnie, Justin, Susan, Leanne, Denis, Lavander, the Patil twins and a lot of my Gryffindor friends had popped out of behind furniture and the light had turned on. I gasp. The pub was decorated with Gryffindor colors and there was a poster on the wall that said, HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY NEVILLE!, around the words were everyone's name and their birthday wishes for me. I turn to Hannah.
"You did this?" I ask her. She nods smiling happily. I pick her up an kiss her.
"Get a room!"
"Yucky!"
"Awww"
"Leave it for tonight!"
At the last comment Hannah and I broke apart, both blushing furiously. George laughed and Angelina slapped his arm, "Leave them alone!". At this George only laughed more, "Hey, everyone will do it at one point!" He defended himself, as everyone erupted in laughter and his wife scowled. When everyone left their assigned spot to eat and talk, I turned to Hannah. "Thank you" I say to her. "I'm glad you like it", she grins happily.
The rest of the night was spent dancing, laughing and talking. When the time came to blow out my candles I let 3 year old Victoire, 5 year old Teddy and one year old Dominique blow out the candles. Hannah turns to me, smiling softly, "What was your wish?" She asks.
"If I told you it wouldn't come true now, would it?".
She laughs as kisses me lightly. I smile an she hugs me.
"Happy Birthday Neville".
