"You look very pretty today Hermione." I look at Neville and smile.
"Thank you, Neville. Are you going to the party tonight?"
The boy blushes and starts stammering. "Oh, I don't know. I'm not good at that kind of thing."
I put my hand on his. "Don't think like that. It might be better than you think."
"Not when everyone thinks I'm just the same old fat, Neville."
"Why don't I be your date then? You're an awesome guy Neville and if people see you with me then others will notice too."
Neville looked surprised. "You'd do that? But there are so many other guys waiting to even get another look from you!?"
"You were my first friend Neville. I always treat my friends right."
