The Weirdest Match Ever.
When Harry and Ron found an empty compartment, they put their trunks into the luggage rack and waited for Hermione to get there. A few minutes later the door slid open, but it wasn't Hermione, it was Ginny, Luna and Neville. They all said hello and sat down and talked about what they had done that summer.
"Well we just stayed you know where really, we didn't get out much, what did you do Neville?" Ginny asked politely.
"Hu….oh…well um…I didn't really do much either." said Neville rather hurriedly.
Just then, Neville let out a shriek of pain because Luna had come out of her usual day dream and had just stamped on his foot. Everyone laughed, but soon stopped because of the expression on Luna's face.
"Aren't you going to tell them about us?" said Luna. "Or am I unimportant to you or something"
"No of course not…I mean…" Neville looked round at everyone and said "Me and Luna are courting."
Everyone's mouths fell open and they all stared at the two of them. Neville and loony Lovegood, going out, it was insane. It must have been the weirdest match ever.
Ron exchanged a look with Harry, who looked at Ginny who was starting to giggle. Then, all of a sudden, they all burst out laughing, including Neville and Luna.
"Oh, you better hope that your gran doesn't find out." Harry added as an after though. "She'd kill you!!!"
"She already knows" Luna said triumphantly" And I think that she likes me too. I went round for tea last week and it was rather enjoyable." And with this she got up ready to leave the carriage.
"Come along Ginny, we have to go and patrol the train now, prefect's duties you know."
Ginny sighed, said goodbye and left the carriage. Neville started to stare at his feet with a glum expression on his face.
Harry noticed and said "Look mate we were only joking you know, Congratulations yeah, she's a nice girl."
"What?" Ron said "She's nuts!!!" but just then Harry elbowed him in the ribs "about you" Ron added quickly rubbing his side seeing Neville's face.
"Come on mate what's up?" said Ron sympathetically. "Has she been giving you a hard time, coz if she has we can sort her out you know"
"No it's not her." Neville sighed. "It's my gran. She doesn't like her. She thinks she's mental!!"
"Well…she is but…look I thought she said that your gran liked her?" Harry said reassuringly.
"No, she doesn't, she only got on with her for my sake, because she knows that I was already going out with her." Neville said looking rather depressed.
"Well, its you that's going out with her, not your gran Neville. So what if your gran doesn't like her? TUFF. My grandmother didn't get on with my dad at first. She thought that he was a lunatic because he liked muggle stuff, but after a while she accepted him because my mum was still madly in love with him. And if your gran cares about your feelings Neville, she'll come around in no time. You just have to stand your ground with her, tell how you feel." Ron said determinedly.
"Thanks Ron. That makes me feel a lot better." Neville said cheering up.
"You know what, Ron's right. We let women walk all over us. Its time that we stand up to them, every last one of them" said Harry.
"Here here!!!" said Neville.
"To men, the superior race." Ron said raising a glass of pumpkin juice.
"To men!!!!!" Harry and Neville chorused.
"Well MEN" said a voice sarcastically from the carriage door. The boys jumped at sat back down in their seats. "Ill be needing one of you to help me to get my stuff in, trunks can be heavy you know, But im sure that the superior race can manage."
