NPOV

When I got back I stormed through the common room ignoring the calls from everyone, bounding my way up the stairs. Once I had reached the room I slammed on to my bed and continually punched my pillow letting out all frustration.

When she had said those words my heart had dropped into my stomach. Why did it have to be her?

Why didn't she tell me from the beginning? Then again why would she. But then why would she tell me now?

I was so confused.

I lay down on my bed and starred up at the ceiling

What if she had been using me all this time? Though she wouldn't have needed to go to me to get to harry. Her and Hermione are pretty close.

But I couldn't believe what I had said.

You make me sick.

I had actually said that.

As soon as I thought it I knew it was wrong, but that didn't stop it coming out of my mouth. I was saying it out of anger and spite, wanting to hurt her like in some twisted way it was like doing it to Bellatrix. Though seeing the tears pour from her eyes and the look on her face had just hurt me as much.

I knew deep down Catherine was nothing like Bellatrix.

But I couldn't stop the hatred bubbling inside of me.

Couldn't stop thinking about all those different things.

I didn't leave the room the rest of the evening. When the guys came up they started asking me questions which I replied to by pulling the covers over my head blocking them out.

I didn't speak to Cathy at all after that. I thought she might try and speak to me tell me she was sorry. But nothing.

"Come on Neville mate. What's going on?"

I just shrugged and placed my head on the table. We where all sat at breakfast and I wasn't exactly hungry.

Dean pushed a bowl of porridge towards me. "Seriously Neville. This isn't healthy. You haven't been eating properly."

Seamus chimed in "Or sleeping."

I didn't actually care. I had lost the person closest to me. Food was the last thing on my mind.

I turned my head to the side and saw Cathy there with Hermione. She wasn't eating either just sat there looking miserable.

Hermione was coxing her to eat but she wouldn't have any of it. Just lazily rose from the table and made her way out of the great hall. Hermione then turned to my direction and shot me a glare before leaving after her. Perfect.

It had only been 6 days but it actually seemed like an eternity since I talked to her. I was working in the library when she came in started looking for a book, not even noticing I was there. She still looked terrible.

She looked to the side catching my eye line and froze.

"Uh...I'll be gone soon. Just. Sorry"

I didn't say anything. As soon as she found her book she ran off leaving me sat there feeling like an asshole.

Wait, why was I the asshole? I hadn't done anything wrong. Then again I don't know if she actually had either.

I bashed my head against the table repeatedly until Madame Prince Ssh me, so I left the library and went to sit down by the lake just so I could have a moan in peace.

I started ripping bits of grass out of the ground pretending each one of them were little Bellatrixs.

Then I felt a bump next to me and saw Luna sat there in her usual out of this world like state.

"Hello Neville."

I just nodded so she would at least know I acknowledged her presence.

"How have you been?"

I just shrugged. I didn't actually want to talk to her right now.

We sat in silence for a while just looking out at the lake.

"I noticed you and Catherine aren't speaking."

"Well. Yeah we're not."

"Why is that?"

I just huffed.

I hadn't told anyone, I knew how quickly it would spread through the school if anyone found out and I didn't want to cause her more pain than I already had.

But maybe I could tell her. She was Luna. She wouldn't tell anyone.

"Catherine told me something that...well. It's not exactly good."

She just looked at me dreamy eyed.

"If I tell you, you can't tell anyone. You have to promise me that."

"I would make an unbreakable vow if that helps Neville."

"No. its ok."

She sat there waiting for me to answer. It seemed like forever before I actually did.

"Cathy's mum is…..Bellatrix Lestrange."

We just sat there in horrible silence. Why wasn't she freaking out like I did. Actually I didn't expect any less from Luna, she never freaked out about anything.

"Well….is that all?"

I snapped my head to her.

"What do you mean is that all? Her mother destroyed my parents!"

"But she didn't."

I turned away from her.

"What if she is just like Bellatrix."

She thought about this for a while. "Well…yes she could be. But I don't think she is. She's rather nice Neville. And she always helps me find my things, or take me back to bed when I've been sleep walking."

I gave her a funny look.

"The other day I ended up right outside the Gryffindor common room and she must have heard me, because she came out and started guiding me back to bed when I woke up. Then she told me I had very nice and I should go to bed. She didn't look good though. Not very Catherine like."

"Why was she up so late?"

"I'm not sure. But her eyes were all red."

Just the thought of her crying made me depressed.

"How can you not be freaked out by this Luna?"

"Just because her mother is who she is. Doesn't mean Catherine is anything like that Neville. Your parents don't make you."

"It doesn't stop me being angry."

She just shrugged. "It's ok to be angry. Just don't direct your anger at the wrong people"

"So you don't hate her?"

She shook her head. "Of course not. She has a nice smile and always listens to me when I talk about the Nargels. I don't know Cathy like you do Neville. She's your girlfriend. But she told you about Bellatrix for a reason."

A lot of what Luna was saying made sense, and just confirmed everything I thought.

She slid a copy of the Quibbler into my lap giving me a quick smile, then stood up and skipped off.

I continued to rip grass out of the Ground.
