Day 44: Character action: A character must use a clock or watch
Neville Longbottom sat at the bar of the Leaky Cauldron, nervously tapping his foot against the leg of the bar stool, watching the second hand of the clock above the bar slowly tick by. His fingers played with the glass of ice water in front of him, the condensation moistening his already clammy hands. He didn't know why he was so jittery. It was only Luna Lovegood he was meeting. There was no reason to be nervous; they'd known each other for a couple years now.
Neville continued to watch as the clock ticked away at the time, growing more and more distressed. He was never good at waiting; all the anticipation ever did was make him even more anxious. He shouldn't have shown up a half hour early. And she was only two minutes and twenty-three seconds late...
So when the war hero looked at his reflection in the mirror behind the bar and saw the timid, pudgy boy he'd once been, instead of the strong, handsome man he'd become, his nerves got the better of him and he began to stand up to leave. But the sudden tinkle of the front door turned his head and he saw Luna's pale wavy hair and big blue eyes enter the room. Immediately calmed by her serene smile, Neville smiled back and approached his date with a shy "Hello."
