THEY BELONG TO J.K. – THE STORY (AND HUMOR) ARE MINE.
It was late…really late. The game wasn't supposed to last this long. It was intended to be a fun little way to let loose and have a good time. For most of the people playing, they had definitely loosened up and most of them were having a VERY good time.
Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron were giggling to themselves about the Malfoy incident. This was a memory that they would treasure forever. As much as they wanted to continue the fun, they knew that it was late and they should probably go find everyone else. They had just been talking about Neville.
Neville was a good friend of theirs, a little shy and clumsy at times, but a loyal, brave, and trusted friend. As much as he had changed over the years, to the majority of them, Neville would always be that same shy kid from first year. The group were currently having a discussion about the absurd notion of Neville and Parvati Patil engaging in, let's just say, some compromising situations.
"I just can't see it." Ron said shaking his head, "Neville getting a little female action. I mean he wouldn't know what to do with himself
"Oh and like you're so experienced Ron?" Ginny smirked at her brother. "I'll bet anything that Hermione was the one showing you how to handle the "female action,"
Ron sent Harry and evil stare as he laughed.
"Sorry" Harry muttered.
"Well not that I like to kiss and tell Ginny," Hermione grinned. "But your brother here didn't need any of my help. He did just fine on his own. No complaints from me."
"Ewwww, I don't need to know!"
"Ok, ok. We need to find the others." Harry said as he looked around the corridors. "We are out way beyond curfew. I know you two are Head Boy and Girl, but if Snape caught us, we're never even gonna see graduation."
"You're right Harry. Well we know where Dean and Lavender are. As much as none of us want to, why don't we go and get them. They probably need to come up for air anyway."
The group made their way up to the fourth floor. They stopped in front of a door to what used to be (until Dean and Lavender claimed it) an empty classroom.
"Go on mate." Ron said motioning to Harry.
"Why me? I've had enough nightmares in my time. "You do it."
"Hell no! Ginny what about you?"
"You're not gonna pull rank on me this time big brother. Make Hermione do it. She's the ones who's it."
"Ginny has a point love."
"Oh fine!" Hermione sighed as she slowly turned the handle on the door.
The all too familiar grunts and moans of the two Gryffindors on the desk made Hermione's stomach turn.
"This is so not fair to make me do this" she hissed as she looked back to the others who all were smirking at her.
Hermione cleared her throat. They didn't hear her. She did it again, louder this time. Still the moans continued.
"Dean and Lavender!" Hermione shouted. "Would you stop already?"
Lavender squealed. "Merlin! Hermione!"
"Shit" Dean swore as he fell of the desk and landed hard on his arse.
"What are you doing Hermione! Didn't you ever hear of knocking?"
"Well it wouldn't have done much good Lav. I tried being discreet, but you guys were just ignoring me. Besides, everyone has already walked in on you tonight. You two were too busy going at each other to notice."
"Well we've stopped now. Can you give us some privacy for a moment?"
"Fine, you have two minutes and if I hear anymore…outbursts of sorts…I'm sending in Ron!"
A few moments later, Lavender and Dean emerged to see four of their fellow classmates leaning up against the stone wall of the corridor.
"You didn't tell me you brought the whole house" Lavender quipped.
Dean walked over to Harry and Ron.
"Have fun?" Ron asked
"Oh yeah." Dean whispered as he quickly high fived Harry.
"You guys are pathetic!" Ginny threw at them.
Dean just ignored her as he walked back over to Lavender and threw his arm around her shoulder.
"Game's over I guess?" Dean asked.
"Yup" Ron responded, "and let me tell ya Dean, you missed the greatest thing you'll ever see in your life!"
"What happened?"
Lavender and Dean's eyes grew wide as the group recounted the night's events. After telling them the parts involving Malfoy, the two of them were holding their sides from laughing so hard.
"I can't believe I missed that!" Dean said in between fits of laughter.
"Oh he so got what he deserved! " Lavender added in.
"Alright" Hermione said. "We still need to fine Seamus, Parvati, and Neville."
"You still haven't found them yet?" Dean asked.
"Do you see them with us?" Ginny said.
"Smart ass."
Ginny grinned, "Thank you."
"I just assumed they were back waiting in the common room. Any ideas?"
Harry chuckled.
"We were talking about that before we came to get you actually. We were laughing thinking about how funny it would be if Neville was somewhere snogging with Parvati."
Dean started laughing again.
"That's a good one! Neville and Parvati! That's almost as likely as…"
"Ron snogging Malfoy? Yeah we already thought of that one." Hermione giggled.
"Ok, enough with that analogy." Ron interrupted. "That's just gross!"
They all laughed again. Ginny however noticed Lavender wasn't laughing.
"Don't you think that's funny Lav?" Ginny asked. "Picture it Neville and Parvati!"
"Well…umm…"
"What?" Hermione asked.
"It may not be as funny as you think."
"What are you on about Lavender?" Dean gave her a quizzical look.
"Oh alright. I promised her I wouldn't tell, but this secret is killing me. I have let it out."
Dean, Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny gathered in closer.
"Parvati has a crush on Neville!" she whispered.
"What!" Ron was shaking his head. "You're joking right?"
"No. She has for a while now. Actually that's the whole reason I suggested this game in the first place. We got together earlier and were trying to come up with a way that we could get them alone with each other. This game sounded like the perfect opportunity. Since you still haven't found either of them, maybe it worked!"
"Parvati and Neville?"
"Are you sure she meant Neville Longbottom?"
Hermione slapped Ron on the arm.
"What? I mean Neville is a good bloke and all, but I guess I never pictured him with a girl, especially one that looks like Parvati. She could have her pick of a lot of guys, didn't think that Neville was at the top of her list."
"Different girls have different tastes Ron."
"Yeah Ron, take Hermione for instance. Who thought she would actually pick your sorry arse."
Everyone laughed.
"Nice one Harry. You know if I didn't love my sister so much, I just might have to hurt you for that one, but since I'm more afraid of what she would do to me, I'll let that comment slide."
They all laughed again.
"Your fear is well placed oh brother of mine."
"Moving on," Hermione said. "Neville and Parvati?"
"This is something I am going to have to see to believe." Dean said. "Let's find Neville and see if our Miss Patil has made her move or not."
A/N : Thanks again for all the words you gave me. You guys are great. Keep it up!
