NPOV

Sat at breakfast I couldn't help smiling to myself. I felt like the luckiest guy on earth.

It had been a few days since we had kissed but nothing else had happened. Mainly because we couldn't get alone for 5 minutes. We would still sneak a kiss every chance we got.

"Wot ub wid yub?"

I looked up to see Ron and Dean sat across from me stuffing their faces. It amazed me that they both ate like horses but always stayed so bloody skinny.

"Nothing."

Ron finally swallowed his mouthful before continuing. "Then how come you look like that?" I gave Him a glare

"Like what?"

"Well…happy." I shrugged. I didn't know if Cathy actually wanted to tell people yet. I knew a lot of guys liked her. Well how couldn't they. I had even heard Seamus say he was going to ask her out. Tough luck now.

I felt her slide down next to me a second later "Hey Cathy." She answered in her usual cheery manner, how was she so bright so early? "Morning Longbottom." She then looked over to Dean and Ron. "Morning Dean...Ron."

"Heb, dib yop du ther poutons hummerk?"

She now had a disgusted look plastered on her face.

"I did Ron. Now please...swallow your food."

He stopped chewing for a moment before shovelling more food into his mouth.

She pushed her bowl away. "Wow. All of a sudden. Really not hungry."

I nodded in agreement. Ron at breakfast wasn't the most appealing sight.

"Neville would you care to walk to me to divination?"

"Uh...ok?" We both rose from the table before starting our long trek to the divination tower.

"I don't understand why you take Divination."

"I like it. And I like Trelawney."

"I still don't get it." I mumbled.

We walked in silence as I starred at her hand. Could I Just...grab it? I then realised she had caught me starring.

"Neville?"

"Uh. Yeah?" Right idiot.

"You can hold my hand, you don't need permission. I won't hit you, promise. How about we practice?"

I was a little confused now but nodded.

She started walking ahead arms placed at her side, I walked up behind her taking her hand in mine and she entwined her fingers with mine.

"I think your training is complete."

When we reached the stairs to the divination tower she took 2 steps about so she was now a little taller than me.

"Thanks Longbottom."

"You are welcome." She placed a small kiss on the corner of my mouth but I went in for a longer one. I had been waiting to do that since I had falling asleep.

"I'll see you in charms." She smiled and nodded before turning around starting her long trek up the stairs.

I just stood there and watched as she made her long way up, Not being able to my eyes off her.

"What, are you doing?" I snapped out of my thoughts and spun around now face to face with Snape.

"Just...uh. I was about to leave. I was just walking Catherine to her lesson." He raised an eyebrow giving me a bored look.

"Yes, well don't you think perhaps you should be going to your own lessons, Mr longbottom, instead of standing around stalking Miss Peart?"

"I wasn't...uh…. Yes professor."

I hung my head as I started my walk of shame. I could still feel his eyes on me.

When I reached the corner I bolted for it.

That evening me and Ron sat in the corner doing potions while Cathy sat with Hermione and Ginny deep in conversation. I kept looking over at her, whenever I caught her eye she would smile and it would make my heart flip. I couldn't actually concentrate.

"Why did I ever take potions! Stupid harry. I could of had all this time free!" I gave a soft chuckle.

"Hey...you ever going to ask Cathy out?" He was now looking at me waiting for an answer.

"Well...I...huh?"

"It's obvious you like her, but you probably should get in before Seamus does." he tilted his head towards Cathy's direction and my eyes followed over

Seamus was now standing next to her chatting her up. Balls.

Wait. Why was I worried? She was dating me...right?

I got up and started to storm over but realised I probably looked ridiculous so started to pace it down a bit. By the time I close enough I was able to hear the good part of the conversation.

"Seamus that's really nice of you too ask, but...I don't think my boyfriend would be too happy about that."

I had to hold myself back from punching the air in triumph.

"Boyfriend? Well who is this boyfriend?"

She smiled before turning her attention to me, and I just stood there with the most stupid grin on my face.

"Neville?" Seamus looked completely shocked.

She stood up running over to me and placing a gentle kiss on my mouth. I was too terrified to kiss back, and she noticed this.

"Usually when I kiss Neville he is a lot more responsive."

I was sure I had now turned a bright red.

"But thank you anyway Seamus. It was very sweet of you to ask."

He nodded walking off and taking a seat next to Dean.

"You ok Longbottom?" Cathy was now standing in front of me hands rested on my arms.

"Uh. Yeah. Great." I smiled at the end of my sentence as she lent up giving me another soft kiss.

"Go do homework Longbottom."

I turned on my heel settling back down next to Ron who was now looking at me intently.

"What?"

He huffed. "You're a sly one Neville."

Aw, Neville, also Aw Ron. Yet again sorry for any mistakes. And thank you too all the people who added the story to Favourites. You made my day! x
