Ronald Weasley is one sexy man.
Neville sure couldn't help but think so as he watched Ron walk past him in the common room to catch up with Hermione who was busy chastising him for some reason. Ron's hair was glinting in the afternoon sun that was streaming in through the windows. His broad shoulders filled in that ridiculous sweater of his quite nicely. Not to mention those jeans he was wearing….In short Neville's breath basically got caught in his throat.
Which was bad for him because he was supposed to be talking with Seamus. Seamus who was now giving him a strange look.
Neville quickly looked back at Seamus, hoping that no one caught him in his stare-a-thon he had been having with Ron's ass. He saw Seamus getting ready to open his mouth, about to say something extremely stupid no doubt, and cut him off before he got the chance.
"So how was that class? I heard that one kid fell off the tower!!" He practically shouted.
Seamus' eyes glinted as he got ready to tell more of Hogwarts grade A rumors that spread through the school like wildfire. In actuality no one fell off any tower. But mention falling and towers together in the same sentence and someone was bound to have a story for you.
While Seamus prattled on and on about some blond who toppled over a tower not too long ago, Neville leaned back in his comfy chair and snuck quick glances at Ron every time he thought no one was looking. He barely kept an ear tuned in to what was being told to him. How could he? Ron had thrown his head back in that cute little way of his that he always did right before he laughed. And Neville absolutely loved it when he laughed. His eyes sort of squinted but not in a bad way. And the corners of his mouth would wrinkle in a huge grin.
Neville thought he looked positively adorable like that.
While Neville would have liked to go on and count the things he loved about Ron, he got shaken out of his reverie by Seamus, who had in fact been shaking his arm for the past 3 minutes.
"Nev!! Hey Neville!!"
Neville jolted and quickly darted his eyes back towards Seamus in what he hoped was a dumb expression that showed confusion. "huh? I'm sorry Seamus. What is it?"
Seamus shook his head. "I've been calling you for the past few minutes! What's got your mind so occupied Nev?"
Neville let his thoughts trail back to a few minutes ago when he had been thinking about doing something decidedly wicked with Ron's mouth. A thin blush trailed his cheeks at the thought.
Seamus clearly figured he knew the reason.
"Oh!! It's a girl!!" Seamus joked loudly while nudging Nev's arm. "Hey everyone!! Nev's thinkin' bout getting himself a girlfriend!!"
And of course that brought everyone in a 10 mile radius to his side in a heart beat.
In a few seconds Neville was literally bombarded with the familiar faces of his house. Girls and boys alike, all in his face. Neville scrunched back a bit to try and shield himself from the onslaught. And who should come to his rescue but the great man himself?
Ron pushed his way through the crowd, shouting at a ton of people on his way to get the hell out of his way. When he finally reached Neville he moved over by him and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Is she any good lookin?"
Neville's blush got brighter and Hermione promptly smacked Ron's head and pulled him back, screeching at him again for yet another thing. As the boys and girls from his house starting clamoring for his attention again all Neville could think of was one thing.
How sexy it was when Ron whispered.
Maybe he could get him to do it again sometime.
