Today was the day. He had made up his mind. Today he was going to ask her out. He had wanted to for so long, and today it would finally happen.
But what if it went terribly wrong? What if she said no? What if she never wanted to see him again?
No. He had to push the negative thoughts out. He was going to do it. No matter what.
It was a bright sunny afternoon as Neville waited outside for Medli. He had asked her to come to the three broomsticks with him. He really didn't have to ask. Neville and Medli always hung out together on Hogsmeade visits. If he would have just calmly walked into the three broomsticks, she would have followed no questions asked. Well, except one...
He craned his neck to try and find her. He hadn't seen her since yesterday, so he had no idea what she was wearing. He looked down at his sneakers again. Maybe she wasn't coming.
He felt someone tap his shoulder. He spun around to meet the gaze of her bright blue eyes.
"Hello!" she exclaimed, her normal giddy self.
"H-hello." he answered.
She was wearing a low-cut black t-shirt, a jean skirt and black flip-flops. She looked even better in casual clothes. Neville himself was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and plain old jeans. Medli also noticed how much cuter Neville looked out of his school robes. They both let out a nervous laugh. Neville blushed and Medli chewed her bottom lip.
"Well, I guess we should be going now." Neville broke the awkward silence.
"Yeah," her smile back on full blast "Come on lets go." she took his hand. Neville felt his face burn red.
When they arrived at Hogsmeade, Medli asked,
"Well, you said you wanted to go to the Three Broomsticks. Should we go there straight away, or can we do some window shopping first?" she tried to sound innocent. She was failing horribly. Medli was the only person Neville knew who could spend about 3 galleons just window shopping.
"Hm...well considering the last time we went 'window shopping' you spent almost all your money..." he looked at her. She was smiling suspiciously.
"What did you do?" he asked.
"No need to worry about the window shopping thing. I had Stella hide my money so I wouldn't blow it all on useless rubbish again." she giggled.
Neville loved to listen to her laugh, which she did a lot. He felt a smile creep across his own face.
"Well, that was very resourceful of you." he complimented.
"Thank you very much kind sir. Now, shall we window shop for real, or go to the bar?" she asked again.
"I suppose we could window shop on the way there, for real this time." he added with a smirk.
