Out of the Hospital and in with Christmas
In the Hospital Wing
Neville POV
Madam Pomfrey wizzed about Trudy's bedside as I paced with Ginny in the corridor.
"Why don't you just marry her?" Marcus laughed as he walked past with his crew.
"Back off." Ginny sternly almost shouted. They went off in a group, laughing amoungst themselves. Madam Pomfrey showed with a thin smile on her lips.
"If you hadn't brought her in, ." She said.
"Will she be OK?" I asked. My voice was on edge. Pomfrey nodded.
"She's resting. She'll make a full recovery in time for your Christmas Do." She smirked.
"Can we go see her?" Gin asked. She was eager to go and see Trudy. Madam Pomfrey nodded and rushed to another patient. Me and Ginny walked in together and took seats on either side of her. We took a hand each. Trudy stirred in her slumber and her eyes opened. She flinched when she saw me.
"Merlin, are you alright?" She asked in a hissing tone. I nodded, laughing.
"I'm perfectly fine. It's you in hospital." I chuckled. She looked around and sat up. Trudy started to panic and almost started to cry. "Hey, woah. You're fine. You're OK." I told her.
"I've never been in hospital before, Neville!" She whined. Ginny got up and rubbed Trudys arm before leaving us alone.
"You're alright." I promised. Trudy propped herself up on her bed and pulled me from my seat into a hug. When she had let me go, we talked and talked and talked. Trudy had stopped crying and was warming to hospital life.
"Neville, I'll.. I'll go to the dance with you." She smiled at me. "Oh- I don't get out of here until tomorrow. I miss his Dinner thing tonight!" Trudy sighed. I shook my head.
"Don't worry about it. I'll let him know why you're not there." Hermione said. She took a seat on the other side of her.
A few hours later.
Neville POV cont'd
"Ooh. I need to go get ready." I said to her after I looked at my watch. Her expression went sour. "Don't worry. I'll tell you everything when I come see you afterwards." I promised her with a small laugh.
"You better." Trudy smiled. She took her legs from my lap and rested them on the ground. She got to her feet, unsteadily and took my hand, making me stand with her. Hermione, Ron and the crowd that had gathered, got up and started to walk away slowly.
"Nev, I'll- Uhh... I'll meet you at Slughorns." Harry smiled, walking away with Hermione on his arm. Trudy looked at me and smiled before tightly hugging me. She took my hand.
"Thanks, Neville." Trudy mused. I sternly shook my head.
"No, thank you, Truds. Took the hit for me." I blushed, kissing her cheek before walking away. I rushed from the Hospital to my dorm where Harry and Ron were. My cardigan and smart jeans were thrown at me and Harry ordered me to get changed. "Why are we in such a rush?" I asked, "We have half an hour to wait." I said.
"Well, Slughorn changed the time so hurry up in there! Brush your teeth! Floss, too!" Harry ordered. I rolled my eyes and got dressed quickly to avoid a disagreement. I tossed my clothes into the laundry and went to the hall where Harry was. "You brushed?" He asked. I shook my head. "Flossed?" Harry quizzed. I shook my head at him. "So, you going to ask Truds out?" Harry smirked.
"Leave it out." I told him. "You going to ask Ginny out?" I followed suit. He bowed his head lightly making me chuckle. Dean pushed past us on the way there, anger filled him.
"Dean, mate. What's the matter?" I asked him. Harry grabbed his arm and turnd Dean towards us.
"Just, Ginny! God! Sometimes!" He barked before storming off. I looked at Harry and we continued to Slughorns.
"Do you think he's alright?" I asked. "Should I go after him?". Harry firmly shook his head and knocked on the door to Slughorns.
"Ah, boys! Come on in, come on in! Make yourselves at home." Professor chirped. We were greeted by Hermione. Hermione pulled us to the table.
"Wish I just invited Ron!" She sighed, "Cormac won't stop trying to cop a feel! Absolutley disgusting. Ron wouldn't." Hermione growled, weakly smiling at Cormac as she sat down. HArry looked at me, holding back a snigger.
"Yeah. Totally wouldn't touch you(!)" I smiled. Everybody else arrived within seconds of eachother and dinner was finally served. It was when we were halfway through the Starter, Hermione spoke to me.
"So, did you hear?" She questioned. Harry turned with a mouthful of prawns and pushed his eyebrows together. "Trudy is attracted to Neville." She smiled. She eagerly turned away with a smug smile on her face as my brain registered. It sent reception to my throat and I started to choke, breaking the elegant conversation between the others.
"Dear, boy! Are you alright?" Slughorn asked. Harry patted my back and gave me water. I slowly nodded.
"Fine, sir. Perfectly fine." I smiled whilst the door opened slowly. Harry forgot all about his friend who almost choked and stood up to greet Ginny. "Good lookin' out, mate." I muttered.
"They've been fighting again- Her and Dean." Hermione informed, rubbing my back. I looked at she flirted a smile at Harry before sitting down.
"Does she really like me? I mean, yeah, we did kiss almost a year ago but I never thought..." I said in amazement. "She's into me. I'm attractive!" I almost shouted. Cormac, Hermione and Ginny glared at me. I was bemused myself.
Back in the Hospital Wing.
Nobody's POV
Neville sat on the edge of Trudy's hospital bed with a smile.
"It's good that I get out tomorrow. I'm going to Hogsmead with Hermione on Saturday to get a dress for the Party." Trudy smiled. Both of them talked for almost hours on end about how good the party was going to be. It was then when Trudy said her last word, Neville got lost. He never wanted the conversation to end. She was the first to make the move. Her hands dove behind Nevilles neck and she brought his face to hers. Neville was completely shocked. Nobody had ever wanted to do that to him before. Neville accepted and connected his lips with hers. He cupped her face in his hand, lips entwined. Trudy obliged and kissed back, before hesitating a little, she wrapped one arm around his neck and the other through his hot chocolate hair. Truds moaned against his lips, not breaking the kiss. Neville now begged permission for his tongue; she let it slip against hers in her mouth. He gently pushed her down on the bed not breaking the kiss or his hold of her. The kisses became harder and harder, Neville started leaving trails of kisses down her neck. Trudy gasped, scrunching up her closed eyes. Neville felt like he was in heaven, he had forgotten that he was in the Hospital Wing. All he cared about was that he was in a deep snog on with Truds underneath him.
"I think there's somebody watching us." She laughed. Neville sighed. "Is that a new cardigan?" Trudy asked. Neville nodded at her.
", visiting hours are over. I suggest you go back to your dorm before Professor Snape does his rounds."Madam Pomfrey smiled. Neville got up from Trudy who was blushing.
When Neville got back up to his dorm after sucessfully dodging the peering eyes of Snape, he was badly greeted.
"Where have you been ?"
"What have you been doing!"
"We've been worried." Ron said from his bed. He had several DADA papers spaced around him. "We've been really worried." He ended. He crossed several things off the sheets.
"Well, gentlemen, let me tell you whereI have been and what I have been doing." Neville told them whilst he took his cardi off. "That, gentlemen, is magical."He gestured to his cardi. Harry looked at Ron who was looking at Seamus.
"How is it magical? It's, what, 90% cotton?" Seamus laughed after picking up Nevilles cardigan. Neville shook his head.
"Trudy. That magical cardigan made Trudy kiss me in the Hospital!" Neville laughed, flopping back onto his bed. There was a silence. Then Ron chuckled.
"No she didn't" He corrected. Neville sat up. They started to argue. "She wouldn't kiss you!"
"Cormac felt up Hermione!" Neville shot back. Ron threw his DADA revision papers down and stood up.
"Take that back!" He demanded. "Take it back!" Ron yelled. Seamus looked at Harry who was about to talk before Neville spoke.
"I'm taking nothing back because it's true! Harry can back me up! She told both of us!" Neville bawled. Ron gazed over to harry with eyes like razors. Harry tried not to make any contact with his best friend.
"It is true-" Harry began before somebody knocked at the door. "That'll be Lavender, mate." He cursed when Ron answered the door. Ron didn't look back at his friends but instead closed the door behind him and Lavender. Neville sat back on his bed, not as happy as he was before.
