After about half an hour of looking at various stores, they reached the Three Broomsticks. All the nervousness came flooding back to him. He held the door open for her, wanting to prolong his entrance as long as he could. They found a booth in the back. Neville ordered two butter beers. He went for his pocket to pay, but Medli stopped him. She took out 8 sickles of her own.

"I thought you said you didn't have any money." he asked after the waitress had left.

"I lied." she said smiling, "I brought just enough to pay for two butter beers." she winked and took a swig of her drink.

"You mean to tell me, that you had 8 sickles the whole time, and you didn't try to spend it once?" he asked sounding amazed.

"Yep" she said giggling.

"That's amazing" Neville said, sarcastically. Medli blushed and giggled again before taking another swig of butter beer. He smiled. This wouldn't be so bad. Maybe she will say yes. Ok, here goes nothing...

"Medli? Remember how I mentioned that I had something important to ask you?" he asked. Surprised that he had said that without stuttering.

"Yes, I do." she said.

"Well, I, uh...see..." he began to sweat. He looked down at his hands.

"Neville?" she said quietly. He felt her hand lift up his head. She smiled at him and said, "Neville, you know you can ask me or tell me anything. That's what best friends are for." He was her best friend? Someone actually wanted him, Neville Longbottom, as a best friend? He took a deep breath and tried again.

"Medli, w-will you..."

"Yes..." she egged him on.

"Will you go out with me?" There he finally said it. But he didn't feel much better. There was a minute of silence, witch to Neville felt like an eternity, until she replied. He looked up at her for an answer. She was smiling and trying, but failing, to hide it. Was this good or bad?

"Yes." she whispered. Neville was taken aback. He had expected her to laugh at him and walk out of the bar. His eyes widened.

"Really? You did hear the question correctly, right? You know what your saying 'yes' to?" he asked.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I know what I'm saying yes to and I'm happy its you whose asking." she said laughing. Neville was relieved. She had said yes. She liked him and was happy he asked her out. He laughed to. What a relief.
