"So."
I looked up to see Hermione sat across from me in the library. When the hell did she get here?
"So…what's up?"
"What's going on with you Neville?"
"I truly have no idea what you are on about"
"Oh come off it. You two and practically joined at the hip. When are you never not with him?"
I looked around before glaring at Hermione. "So clever. Yet you can't see he's not here right now"
"Only because he is helping Professor Sprout. Otherwise he would be sat next to you right now"
"Not likely, I think he's avoiding me to be perfectly honest."
She just continued to look at me, it was actually rather creepy. Two could play at this game.
"Yeah well. What about Ron?" She stiffened. Gotcha.
"I have no idea what you are on about"
"I saw the way you were making eyes at him during the tryouts"
"I DID N...I did not make eyes!"
"Sure" She leaned back in her chair and gave out a slight huff.
"I like Neville."
Her eyes shot up at me, mouth wide open "I knew it!"
"And you like Ron." Her facial expression dropped. But she didn't deny it.
1 - 0 to me.
"I think. You should tell him"
"I can't…it's…it's Ron"
"You guys have been friends for like what….6 years? and by the sounds of it you have been through everything together." She gave me a puzzled look "People talk a lot in this school Hermione"
"Well why don't you tell Neville?" I bit my lip and thought about this. Why don't I just tell him? "I don't really…I …he's just…"
"Don't have a good reason?"
1 - 1
I shot a glare at her "I will!"
Hermione's eyes suddenly became wide and she lowered her head.
I turned to see Ron enter the library. "Never mention Neville again and I won't tell Ron you want to beat his mum and dads reproduction record with him." She opened her mouth to protest before nodding. Then I realised Ron was standing right next to me. "Hey Cathy."
"Hey Ron"
"Woah...Hermione is in a library, and doesn't have a book." She abruptly stood up before giving Ron a glare "I was actually just talking to Cathy if that's allowed" before turning and stomping off
Ron took Hermione's place in front of me giving me a grin "So, uh, did you see the qudditich trials?"
"Yes I did"
"…did you see me?"
"Yes I did"
"….so…did you see me save that last one? Thought I was gonna miss it for a second"
I gave a slight chuckle. I think Ron was really excited he had found something he was good at. "Yes I did Ron. You are Brilliant. Much better than McLaggen" He smugly smiled before leaning back in his chair.
"…what's with you and Neville?"
I banged my head against the table and let out a loud moan "So you like him then?"
I just kept my head own on table, maybe if I ignored him he would stop
"Do you reckon…Hermione likes anyone?"
This I could pay attention to.
"….why? Jealous of someone?"
"NO! Just. Something McLaggen said to me." I raised an eyebrow before gathering up my books. "Don't worry Ron. I know for a fact it's not Mclaggen she likes"
I excited the library leaving Ron looking more confused than usual.
The next morning at breakfast bill dropped a letter right into my porridge. Brilliant.
"Well, least he has good aim."
Hermione eyed the letter "who's it from?" I opened it and immediately recognized the hand writing. "Oh just my aunt. Probably checking up on me" She nodded before turning back to Harry.
I read the letter and it had the usual stuff. How's school? Are you happy? Everyone here is fine. Yada yada. Then I read something that made my heart sink. My fathers will reading was next week. She said she had found it at the house and they would be coming to the school so I could be there for the reading. I really didn't want this. I folded up the letter before stuffing it in my pocket and running out the great hall to the girl's bathroom. Where I proceeded to puke my guts out.
"Are you ok Cathy?" I raised my head before slowly leaning out to see Luna standing there. "Uh, yeah, just, guess I ate something funny."
"Perhaps you should go to see Madame Pomfrey; she is skilled in these matters you know."
I gave a quick nod. I seriously think Luna was on something trippy.
I sat on the floor and Leaned against the stall. Perhaps I should go. At least then I wouldn't have to go to lessons.
"Uh, Luna? If you see Hermione or any of them lot can you tell them I was ill and went to see Madame Pomfrey"
"Of course, Here." She handed me a Quibbler. "You can read that if you have to stay there. Infact, I'll come visit you later and we can discuss it."
"Thanks Luna. I really appreciate it."
She gave me a nod before skipping out of the girl's bathroom. I crossed my legs and lent against the stall whilst starting to read. I just wanted to be alone right now, and I didn't think there was much rush in going to see Pomfrey.
Yeah, no Neville in this one. Bummer. Promise lots of him in the next though. x
