Chapter 9 Nev&Kate
Neville POV
That was the best kiss ever. Well actually the only kiss I had before was in 6th grade with Luna since we both felt left out and wanted to get it off our backs. That one was rather awkward actually. But, we got rid of any tensions and we learned what it felt like. We decided to leave it as friends. This was a wise choice because last summer she had met and started dating Rolf Scamander. And I, well I had no idea of what I was doing. When I kissed Kate, I felt all the happiness of the world. I had to break it because I felt the urge to take it further. I got to my chambers and buried my head into my pillow cursing under my breath.
It felt like a few days later when I was walking through the hallways in the middle of the night. I wasn´t tired and having the privilege of being a teacher, Filch couldn´t punish me. I guess I could patrol, although it was very unlikely for any student to be wandering around at this hour. Suddenly, at the end of the dark corridor I could see a uniformed female figure walking towards me.
"Who is there?"- I asked a little scared.
Then she reached me and I saw who it was.
"Katharine, you shouldn´t be out of bed!"- I whispered.
"Ssshhhh."- she said putting her index on my lips.
Then she smirked looking at me with penetrating eyes. Then she grabbed my hand and started running leading me to Merlin knows where. I couldn´t bring myself to protest, instead I was dying with curiosity. Where were we going? What for? We went up to the seventh floor and stopped on a wall I knew very well. I was the one who discovered it. She walked past it three times and the door appeared. She looked at me and taking my hand again pulled me inside and closed it.
"Kate, what ..."
I was interrupted by a short kiss.
"We shouldn´t be doing this..."
"Just this once. It´s the Room of Requirement, no one has to find out." Her voice was barely a whisper, there was desire in her eyes.
Oh dear, was I about to...have sex with the Slytherin girl I had a crush on? On the other hand she was right. Nobody would find out, it couldn´t hurt.
She took off her cloak and her sweater. Then took mine. She removed the rest of her clothes and was left wearing the same green and black underwear she used when she got her revenge. I just stood there astonished and she chuckled.
"Are you cooperating Longbottom or not?"
"what?...oh!"
I proceeded to take of my own clothes and felt like I was nothing compared to her beauty. I sat on the biggest couch and she sat on my lap with her legs wrapped around my waist. She took my head in her hands and kissed me fiercely. I kissed her back and grabbed her waist pulling her closer. She pressed her hips against mine and I moaned loudly as she touched my now hard, aching member.
We kissed, moaned and pressed against each other passionately for a few minutes. Then we broke apart for some air. We were both gasping and she said:
"You have to wake up now."
"What?"
She pinched me and I let out an "OW!" right before finding myself in my bedroom alone. Trevor was croaking beside me, my member was indeed hard and aching, and I was a little late for breakfast.
I ran to the Great Hall and luckily Luna had saved me a seat next to her.
"Are you okay Neville? You´re not usually late."
"Yeah I know. I´m sorry. I overslept that´s all."
She turned to look at Kate and whispered to me: "Had pleasant dreams?"
Oh my god Luna! How on earth did she know? She was an expert in people´s behaviour. I didn´t say anything but looked at her with wide eyes, and then turned to my plate to avoid them both.
The class was silent; everyone was too busy writing their essays. I was gazing at her intensely. She seemed to sense this because she looked up and smiled at me. I smiled back (trying to push the dream out of my mind) and her face turned to a sad look. She liked me. Oh my God she liked me. Since last year, despite her reputation, one part of me wanted to deserve her. I had always been intimidated by pretty girls and she was no exception. Especially now that I had discovered that not only was she this gorgeous Slytherin witch, she was also graceful and kind. I coudn´t think of any ways to remove that sad look off her face. She wanted me too, but it couldn´t be.
I saw her turning to the last page of her notebook and writing something. Then, she signalled me to go over with her finger. I did so not before passing through the other rows pretending to be checking. I couldn´t go directly to her, too suspicious. When I arrived to her desk the page read:
I am so sorry about this. I must pretend to be the same girl as always in your class, that way no one will suspect anything. I can make it up to you later...I mean, if you want me to of course.
She was right. I looked at her in the eye and gave two fast nods. I walked back to my seat and glanced at her again. She had this huge smirk on her face. Oh God, what was she going to do? I cocked my head to one side and gave her a playful warning look. She laughed quietly and I smiled.
"Professor Longbottom, I´m done!"- She said in a loud voice causing some Gryffindors to groan.
"Hang in there Ms Green, I will be collecting all the essays at the end of the class. "- I said trying to sound annoyed.
So, she started to tap her desk impatiently.
"Which plant is that?"
The Gryffindors groaned again and whispered things like "here she goes..."
"A Nibulus Mimbletonia."
"Ahh, and that one?"
I let out an exasperated sigh.
"A Mandrake. The one you´re supposed to know since second year. Ms Green, how are you planning to pass your N.E.W.T.S if you do not know this simple stuff?"
"Asking the teacher?"
This time a few Slytherins snickered. I had to hold the laughter myself. This time it was different, I knew she didn´t hate me. She just had to live up to the Slytherin standards.
Christmas break came I didn´t want to be away from her. I arrived at my Gran ´s house (I didn´t live with her anymore but I stayed there for Christmas) and was received with all the affection of the world. It had taken me years to win it. After the war, unity became very important for us all. Which is why now every Christmas was spent together. And by that I mean EVERYONE. The Weasleys, Harry, Hermione, Luna, her dad, my Gran, my uncle, and every other member of the DA and their families. Oh yeah, thanks to Voldemort, Christmas had become a hell of a party. I was going to catch up with my friend about Kate and visit my parents on the next day as always. Even if they were mad I was gonna tell them about Kate. They knew her and somehow would understand better than Gran.
so how´s it going so far? is the story being coherent? what do you think of nev and kate as a couple? any reviews, constructive critic and suggestions as to what will happen next are more than welcome. :D (I love them)
