"Did you meet your soulmate? That always happens on the first day of school, right?"

Neville looked at Ginny oddly. "I'm sorry?"

"You know, the love of your life, your fated one, your match made in heaven—"

"I know what a soulmate is," he cut her off. "But why are you asking about my soulmate?"

Ginny scuffed her feet on the carpet. "I could be wrong, but I think I met mine today."

"Hold on. You're saying that you met your soulmate today? How? When? More importantly, who?"

The redhead smiled shyly. "You know him. I bumped into him on the way to Advanced Bio this morning. He has emerald eyes, black hair, glasses—"

That was enough description for Neville. "You don't mean—Harry?"

Ginny nodded, her cheeks the color of her hair.

"That's...that's wonderful, Gin. Isn't it great? My two best friends! Oh, please tell me that he knows."

"I dunno." She shrugged. "I barely had any conversation with him. I ran into him accidentally, dropped my books, and he started helping me, and that's when my soulmate mark completed itself." She pulled back her sleeve to reveal her completed fire symbol.

There wasn't a word in Neville's vocabulary to describe the euphoria that overcame him. It was ineffable, but he was just too elated to care.

"Well, what're you waiting for?" he prompted. "Go and tell him!"

Ginny hesitated. "N-No! What if he rejects me?"

"Then I'll talk sense into him," Neville promised. "Go."

As Neville had envisaged it, it went perfectly. Of course it did, because those two were destined to be together.

There was a slightly bitter edge to his delight—the fact that he hadn't found his own soulmate. But in the end, he wasn't a party-pooper. It was Ginny's day, and he wasn't going to ruin it for her. She deserved to find love.

And Neville? Neville was perfectly content to wait.
