Neville had liked Lavender since their first year ay Hogwarts, but this was the first time he realized how beautiful she really was. He was mesmerized by the way the light got lost in her deep brown eyes. He wanted to run his fingers through her long, blond ringlets.
"Neville? You seem a bit dazed," Lavender pointed out.
"Oh... nothing," Neville felt embarassed for staring at her.
"Okay, well, I don't want to be late for Transfiguration. See you there! Oh, and be nice to Nestor," Lavender said, brushing past Neville as she left the dorm room.

The next day, in Potions class, Nestor was flapping and kicking about in the back of the Dungeon. Dumbledore had pleaded with Snape to get him to allow Nestor to be in the classroom during class.
"Today we are learning about engorgement potions," Snape barked at the class. Draco Malfoy had a wide grin on his face. "Now," Snape continued, "engorgements are very difficult to make," he shot a sharp look at Neville, who winced, "so be very, very cautious."
The potion was supposed to be a deep purple color. Neville's turned out being shit-brown and it smelled like rotten tomatoes. He had forgotten to add paprika.
"LONGBOTTOM!" Severus snapped angrily, "do you know where you went wrong?"
"Y-y-yes," Neville said nervously. snape was now looming over him menacingly.
"Good," Snape said in a faux calm voice. He took a spoonful of Neville's awful potion. "Let's see what happens if I feed it to your dumb bird."
"No!" Neville yelled, leaping out of his seat.
"Sit yourself down, Longbottom!"
Draco had a very pleased look on his face.
Snape approached Nestor, holding his magical wooden spoon up. "Drink up, you horrible bird," Snape said.
A furious expression took over Nestor's face and he gave Snape a powerful kick in the stomach. The enemy went flying across the room, knocking over about twelve potion vials as he landed. All of the Gryffindors applauded.
"Longbottom, you have detention. Be here at five o'clock tonight. DO NOT BE LATE!" Snape shouted at Neville.
"That's not fair!" Lavender protested, rising out of her seat, "It's not Neville's fault that Nestor kicked you!"
"One more word out of you and you'll be with Longbottom in detention," Snape hissed at Lavender.
"Well, fine then! You deserved that kick! I hope he kicks you again!"
"Detention, Miss Brown!"
"Neville? You seem a bit dazed," Lavender pointed out.
"Oh... nothing," Neville felt embarassed for staring at her.
"Okay, well, I don't want to be late for Transfiguration. See you there! Oh, and be nice to Nestor," Lavender said, brushing past Neville as she left the dorm room.
