AN: This chapter has a bit of explicit language, so I hope it doesn't bother you.
Sky fled the class as soon as it was over, and ran up to the castle. Her eyes flooded with tears after the most recent event. She decided to run past Hogwarts and sat down on a rock next to the black lake. She curled up on the silver rock and used her book bag as a pillow.
Footsteps came closer to her, so she jumped up in fear. After turning, she noticed it was only Neville, as if situations couldn't get worse.
"Hi," he said before sitting down on a different rock.
Snarling, Sky replied, "What are you doing here?"
Neville opened is school bags and began to explain, "See, I come here every day, unless it is raining, to do my homework. I think it makes more sense if I was asking you what you were doing here." Neville had gotten much more snippy this year, probably due to the previous year's return of Voldemort. "So, what are you doing here?"
Sky glared at him, knowing he perfectly well knew what she was talking about. "You know what I am doing here. Go fuck yourself," she said, before crossing her arms and laying back down on her school bag.
"I would prefer to restrain from masturbation, Sky," Neville said. Sky quickly keyed in to the fact that it was the first time he had said her name. However, he didn't necessarily say it in a good way. "Besides, I wouldn't ask if I already knew."
She picked up her bag and sat back against the rock behind hers, which was more elevated. "You can shut up any time, you know," she said before staring out at the water.
He laughed and began, "I know, but I don't think I will."
Sky sighed and gave in. "School is dumb. Not necessarily the actual school, but a lot of the students are," Sky said. She had to talk to him as well, or it would seem like his mouth never closed.
Replying, he added in, "Especially Slytherins." Sky nodded, not realizing what she was nodding to at first, and then she realized what she said. She felt that it was true, but she wouldn't give Neville the satisfaction. "So you think Slytherin is dumb?" Neville inquired. Sky decided to confess, so she nodded again.
"Why would a person call themselves dumb?" Neville asked. He looked at her and with a smile he said, "I doubt you are dumb."
Sky smiled and said, "Thanks." She then continued, "I didn't call myself dumb, I said most of Slytherin students are dumb. The ones that aren't are Draco, Adie, and me. I'm not even fully sure about us."
Neville smiled at Sky trying to hide awkwardness, not knowing where to look. If he looked at her, she might get the wrong idea. If he looked at the water or anywhere else, she might think he wasn't paying attention. He then just decided to stare at her hand, because that wasn't technically staring at her.
"Are you looking at my butt?" Sky asked, feeling slightly violated. "Something is wrong with you!" She stood up, but Neville then quickly stood as well.
He shook his head frantically, "N-n-no I was going to try and balance out looking at you without being creepy and not looking away, but it's just where your hand was, because it was on the ground near your butt, but I was looking at your hand, I promise."
A disgusted face melted across Sky's face as he explained. "That is even creepier," she said.
Blaise said that Sky liked her, and Neville was beginning to believe him. She hadn't hexed him, like most girls in her house would have. Also, she still "hated" him, like Blaise said she did. Neville was unsure of what to do now.
"How dare you? You are just a little idiotic Gryffind-" Sky began, before Neville took one of the biggest risks he had to take. He knew for sure Sky would kill him, but he could care less now that he was probably going to get murdered by her anyways. He leaned in and kissed her.
It wasn't just a quick peck, and Sky wanted it to stop quickly. Even though it couldn't be considered "passionate", if anyone walked up, they would both be dead. Then she realized, what was there to truly loose?
Neville continued to kiss Sky, and he could only guess that he was terrible at it. Then, he noticed that she was kissing him back. Her hands subconsciously wrapped around his neck, and one grabbed the collar of his shirt, while the other ran her fingers through his hair.
"Neville?" Hermione said, before walking down, being followed by Harry and Ron. "What are you doing?" she asked with her arms crossed.
Neville and Sky quickly pulled away from eachother, and they both were blushing the color of watermelon. "Err," Neville said awkwardly. "Um... I was..."
Ron laughed and said, "He was about to get lucky. Didn't you see the way Sky was all over him?"
Harry shook his head, "It's not lucky if she rapes him."
Hermione yelled at the two boys, "I am serious! Why were you snogging her?"
Sky wanted to walk away, but that would create just as much of a scene. Neville then said, "She isn't what you think. She's actually kind of nice-"
"She is a Malfoy!" Harry said before storming away with his friends. Sky looked at her feet and said, "I really should go. I will see you around, Neville." She walked away with her head staring at the floor the entire way to the common room.
