Lindsey: Thanks for your review! :)

On with the story!

Neville was buried into a huge pile of books the next day. "Neville? What are you doing?" Ginny asked him. "Me? I'm studying for my NEWTS."

"Oh. Neville, aren't you just... a little exaggerating? Not even Hermione could manage to study all this stuff in one day..."
"The NEWTS are too close!"
"Yes... ok. Fine. Do as you believe." Ginny waved it off. Luna sat by him, studying just as much as he was. "Hi." She said, merrily. "Hi."
"NEWTS?"
"Yes."
"I was wondering when you'd start revising."

"Yes. I... oh Merlin's beard! What if I don't pass them?"
"Don't be an idiot, Neville. You'll pass them perfectly."
"Are you sure?"
"100% sure."

"Can you ask me some questions?"

"What subject is it?"
"Potions."
"On it." They stayed there studying until eight o'clock, when Madam Pince kicked them out. Neville was sure about something: He would pass the exams. He had to. For the next days, he went to class and then passed his time studying and sleeping a couple of hours every night. He couldn't bare the thought of not passing my exams. "Hermione?"
"What?" she snapped. She was very on the edge too. "Will they ask things of all seven years?"
"Yes."

"Oh no..."
"Just follow my revise program! And let me study, I'm going mad! You two, there!" Two boys who were making a lot of noise turned around. "Twenty points from Gryffindor! Each! Don't make any noise, we're trying to study! Go outside and play with daisies or whatever you feel like doing except making noise here!"

"Hermione, calm down. They're just kids."

"No! I need to study... so..." she continued. Neville brought the books outside and studied every minute he was free. His grandmother sent worried letters, thinking he had forgotten about her.

Dear Grandma,

I'm fine. How are you? I'm sorry, I have no time. I'm studying for the exams. Tell me good luck! I can't believe they're so close. See you.

Neville.

Luna helped him when she could, and one night, Neville saw something that made him completely forget the books he was carrying to the common room. Luna was talking with Walter, and they were very close. Too close for his liking. "You're paranoid. You're studying too much. Luna would never..." Then he leaned in and kissed her. Neville dropped his books with a sound that echoed through the whole castle. In the same second, Luna had slapped Walter in the face. Running away, she had turned and looked at Neville. He was fuming. He would have never thought... but she had turned him down... she had slapped him... but she had promised! Not knowing what had to be done, he just ran. Ran, trying desperately to leave the memory of the last seconds behind. Running, wanting a time-turner to go back and change that. Go back to that moment when his only worries were some exams he had been fussing too much over.

Author's Note

When I started writing, I had no idea I'd make Luna cheat on Neville. If you think about it, she actually didn't. But Neville's now really on the edge, and we'll see what happens to him! I hope you liked this chapter. Please review!
