The Shy Ones
Author's Note: I was REALLY bored when I decided to write a story for Neville Longbottom, one of the characters of HP that isn't exactly focused on as much. Plus I don't know if there are many stories about him, so I did this for fun.
Disclaimer: I don't the HP characters. ( *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~* Chapter 3
Neville bit down on his thumb in deep thought as he worked on his essay for DADA class. He hated this. If only he knew where Hermione was he could get a little help out of her, though now a days it was hard to find her since she was dating Ron. "You shouldn't bite your nails, it's a bad habit." Neville jumped and looked over his shoulder. Hannah was smiling down at him.
"Hey, how'd you do on the essay?" he asked.
"I got full marks thanks to you." She answered. She sat next to him and looked at his work. "Defense against the Dark Arts. I could help if you want." She suggested, looking up at him. Neville rubbed the back of his neck.
"I don't want to be of any trouble."
"Nonsense. Besides, I finished mine so I could be of real use to you at this point." She said. Neville smiled a bit and nodded. As they worked, she couldn't help but notice that she inched her chair closer to his a couple times, though he wasn't complaining. As they worked, just like before, they were side tracked by talking and joking around.
"Argh, look what time it is. We had better get to the Great Hall if we want to have dinner tonight." She said. Neville agreed and began packing his things. When they arrived, Neville sat next to Harry who was, along with Dean and Ron, listening to Seamus.
"So I figure if I ask Lavender to go with me to Hogsmeade that maybe she'll begin to notice me nad then I'll easily be able to ask her to the ball and then as my girlfriend." Harry snorted silently and Ron shook his head along with dean's agreement.
"That's failure in the making. You know how Lavender is." He informed.
"She's as superficial as they come. Ask Hermione. She'll tell you exactly what she and Parvati talk about day and night." Said Ron, wagging his finger at Seamus. The boy frowned a bit and began poking at his food in annoyance.
"So you guys don't think she'd like me cuz I'm not good-looking enough?" They all stared at him.
"I dunno, Seamus. Why don't you ask Lavender yourself." Seamus looked up and Lavender had just entered the Hall with Parvati. Hermione and Ginny were close behind, talking to each other. Seamus sucked in a breath and went up to the group of girls.
"Seamus, hi." Said Lavender brightly, but he held his hand up to silence her.
"Lavender, you're going with me to Hogsmeade this weekends, no ands, ifs or buts." He said. She crossed her arms and gave him a look that wasn't readable.
"Sure Seamus, I'll go with you." She said sarcastically and rolled her eyes before continuing on her way. The Gryffindor boys all began laughing. Ron and Harry's faces were red from trying to hold back laughter.
"Brilliant, Seamus. Just brilliant." Laughed Dean. Seamus waved his hand around dismissively.
"Don't hate, appreciate, guys. Lavender's always wanted al of this." At that point, Ron began choking on his food. Neville figured that Seamus chose to ignore this since he continued. "Besides, you guys are just jealous that I've got the good looking on to come with me."
"Get over yourself, Seamus. Mind you, I've got a girl friend." Said Ron.
"So do I." Added Harry. Seamus shrugged a shoulder.
"What ever. But by the end of this month, just take me off the Gryffindor singles list." Neville looked down at his plate. That would probably leave him as the only fifth year boy with out a girlfriend. unless Hermione and Ron have a serious argument or Dean and Parvati decide it isn't working out. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hannah and Neville had been meeting up with each other either after classes and walking the rest of the way with each other, or in the library. It was strange though since the two of them were basically the shiest people in their dorms, compared to their roommates. Hannah joined Neville under a tree and looked up the autumn sky. "Don't you just love the fall?" she asked.
"I dunno, I kind of like the spring best." Neville answered. Hannah looked at him curiously. "well you know, its never to hot and its never too cold. Then you have no reason to stay up in the stuffy old castle." He answered. She giggled and leaned against the tree, watching as the leaves fell from the tree as the wind began to blow.
"You know, it's a lot better to talk to you than listen to Susan and Kathy rant about Hogsmeade weekend." Neville looked at her.
"What, aren't you going?"
"So I can walk around alone?" she asked. "All the girls are going with someone. I'd go with Ernie or Justin.." She shrugged a shoulder.
"Well. maybe you and I could go together." He suggested. His face went red once she looked up at him. She raised an eyebrow at him.
"Neville Longbottom, are you asking me out on a date?" He went even redder at that moment.
"Well if you don't want to go, I understand." She laughed and leaned over, kissing his cheek. Neville grinned a bit and blushed, rubbing the back of his neck.
