Chapter 5

Neville was uncomfortable. Ginny wouldn't stop batting her eye lashes at him, engage him in conversation –which never happened before – and it didn't help much that Harry Potter was giving him the evil eye because of it. Everyone knew that Potter had the hugest crush on Ginny Weasely, so it was very understandable that he was jealous of Neville. But Neville being himself didn't see that, he didn't see how Ginny was throwing himself at him, because Neville didn't think he was attractive at all! So that just brought on the fact that he didn't notice the million of stares from various women staring at him as he picked at his dinner.

Neville glanced around pushing his fork against his mashed potatoes beside him, Ginny prattled on and on about some such new make-up or the latest fashion magazine, it was one of them. Neville's eyes had strayed towards the Slytherin table, subconsciously he was seeking out Draco Malfoy, and each time he would find Pansy Parkinson hanging off his arm. And he felt like getting up and slapping that pug faced bitch away, but when he noticed he was staring and thinking this he would feel ashamed, no matter how much something inside of him called out that Malfoy was his. It was completely insane, maybe they had a book in the Library about his inheritance, it certainly would help. His Gran wasn't much help, since she was a woman, and only the men got this terrifying power. Now all he had to do is keep calm and relax and not get overwhelmingly angry that he almost rips someone to piece like he did to his uncle. Of course he was excused from said crime.

"Neville are you even listening to me!" snapped Ginny. Neville offered a small smile and nodded.

"You where talking about how that new hair product brings out the color in your hair." He reply. She stared hard at him. Was he wrong?

"That was fifteen minutes ago!" he could see her face grow flushed, he fidgeted. Angry woman always made him uncomfortable.

"Oh stop it Ginny" said Hermione "your making him uncomfortable." Neville gave a small smile to Hermione as Ginny backed off with a huff. He ran a hand through his hair and absent minded remembered that Mrs Malfoy had placed war braids in his hair, just like his father had them. His eyes traveled towards the widow who sat up at the main table beside Snape and Flitwick. She was talking enthusiastically her hands waving around wildly with whatever she said. Neville blinked, either he was seeing things or Snape was smiling. Okay that was weird. Dumbledore stood up and tapped his glass and the dishes and left over food vanished, before desert appeared. As the students grabbed there desert, Dumbledore began his speech.

"Welcome to new and old students! I would like to inform you that the Forbidden forest is still forbidden! There is a list of restricted items on Mr Filches door, so please take the time to check that out. As you all can see Mrs Malfoy is here, she will be your new DADA professor, treat her with respect! And lastly could Mr Longbottom meet me in the headmaster's office after desert. "He sat back down.

Talk filled the Great hall nasty things about Mrs Malfoy and how she will be a prejudice woman about house points, or how snobby and mean she will be. Neville snorted, Mrs Malfoy mean? No way, she was bubbly like Lavender Brown talking about her latest crush. Snape is mean. Others speaking of what the headmaster would want with Neville. Neville had a vague idea. His friends shot questions at him, and he did promise answers to them on the way to the school. And he explained in a small huddle. He explained his inheritance, what it was, even though he wasn't very sure what it was, he gave all the things he could. They were somewhat awe struck, well Harry and Hermione were, Ron and Ginny where a little weary having heard stories of the Berserkers. Neville turned towards Hermione.

"Do you think they might have any books in the Library" he said.

"I can always check this is just simply fascinating" she said. Neville smiled.
