Neville's POV

I thought the girls would be throwing themselves at Harry since he had just won the Triwizard Tournament not me. I wasn't really enjoying it though. The girl left finally. Thank Merlin.

"Did Laney come in?" I asked Hermione.

"No, why?" she asked peering up from her book.

"Star is fast asleep next to Crookshanks." I said.

"Oh, that she is."

"I'm going to go look for her."

"Okay."

I got up and looked for Laney. I found her with her Hufflepuff friends.

"Hey Laney."

"Oh, hey Nev." she said giving me a small smile.

"May I sit down?"

"Go ahead."

I sat down next to her and said "You look sad."

"Just a little sad about Cedric."

"Harry is going through the same thing."

"I bet he is, he actually saw him die." she shuddered.

"Yeah, he did."

"He was such a nice guy but I'm not saying that someone mean should've died instead."

"I know what you mean, Laney."

She nodded as a stray tear fell down her face. I reached over and wiped it away. She leaned her head on my shoulder. We stayed like that until we reached Kings Cross. She stood up and I got up and wrapped my arm around her casually. We met up with Harry, Hermione and Ron. We walked off the train and met up with our respective parent/s. The day continued.

Delaney's POV

My dad and me walked to Grimmauld Place also known as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix.

"Hello Bobby and Delaney." Molly Weasley greeted us smiling.

I always liked her and her husband their youngest son was another story though.

"Hello Molly." my dad greeted.

"Come on in, we were just about to eat."

We walked in. We were greeted by Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Frank, Alice, Lily and some new new people Bill Weasley the oldest Weasley brother and the real Alastor Moody.

"It's time for breakfast!" Molly yelled up the stairs.

Ron was obviously the first one down. He went straight for the food. Not even acknowledging our presence. I don't find that surprising.

"Ronald Weasley, don't be so rude." Molly scolded.

"Oh, hello." he said through a mouthful of food.

I rolled my eyes discreetly.

"Hey Delaney." Hermione greeted us giving me a hug.

"Hey Hermione."

"Hey guys." Harry said.

"Hey Harry."

"It's nice to see you again, Delaney." Ginny greeted.

"You too."

"Hey Laney." Neville said giving me a hug.

"Hey Nev." I said trying not to melt in his arms but failing.

"Alright, you can let her go now, Neville." Harry teased.

Hermione kicked him playfully under the table. Neville let go of me and we both sat down and started to eat. Molly was such a good cook.

"We got our Hogwarts letters!" Hermione said.

"I got mine a few days ago and I brought it with me." I said taking out my letter.

"Okay, let's sit down and we'll open them."

We sat down. I sat down next to Neville with Hermione on my other side. Harry was on her other side and then Ron.

"Let's open them!" Hermione almost squealed.

"You go first." I said.

"No, you go."

"Will one of you just open the bloody letter!" Ron exclaimed annoyed.

Hermione and I glared at Ron.

"I'll go first." I said.

"Okay."

I opened the letter I wasn't expecting anything so it was just a normal letter.

"I got prefect!" Hermione said.

"Like we didn't see that coming our third year." Harry said.

"I bet you got prefect too." Hermione said.

Harry opened his letter and a badge fell out.

"I got prefect!" Harry said.

"Of course you did!" Ron said angrily.
I hated how jealous Ron was of Harry. He had a lot to be thankful for a huge family and both parents. Sure, Harry only had one parent but at least he was thankful for that. The day continued. It was now a few hours before Neville's birthday. I had accidentally, okay purposely fallen asleep in his arms. Just to see if he would let me and he did. I woke up a few minutes after midnight. I started to poke him in the side.

"Huh, what?" he asked sleepily.

"Happy Birthday, Neville." I smiled.

"Thank you, can we get back to sleep now?"

"Yes, we can."

We fell back asleep. In the morning I woke up again in Neville's arms. I'll let the birthday boy sleep. I debated if I should kiss his cheek or not and I decided to go for it. I slipped out of his arms and walked down the stairs.
