Fourth Year
Neville woke up with a smile on his face, stretching out his limbs. He sat up looking around the dormitory noticing everyone starting to wake. Neville climbed out of bed grabbing his toiletries. He walked into the showers setting his things on the bench and his towels on the rack.
Neville started removing his clothes, his embarrassment long ago lost since he and Draco started their relationship. Draco made it his mission to make Neville feel...handsome. That resulted in wonderfully tender nights with Draco. Neville smiled at the memory of just laying there with Draco. Nothing but a couple pecks on the lips and whispered words passed between them. Neville smiled at the memories.
Stepping into the hot spray Neville started to wash himself.
"Whoa, Neville! Come on do they not disappear or something? You had those same marks forever. The girl is territorial. Who is she and does she have a sister?" Seamus inquired from his shower stall. Neville and Draco have been exploring a lot more lately. They had gradually started taking off each others clothes. They haven't got past the boxers yet. Neville was still nervous about going that far and Draco always made sure to reassure Neville that he(N) was his(D) siren, that he would always be able to lure him in, that he(D) would always be putty in Neville's hands, that he(N) was beautiful beyond compare.
"It's not important." Neville replied ignoring the sister remark. Remembering simply how the hickeys got there every time was enough to make Neville have to think about his Gran.
"Oh come on, mate! We tell you everything about our girls, the least you can do is tell a name!" Ron said, joining the conversation.
"It's nothing, really" Neville said rinsing out his hair.
"Come off it! Okay, what house is she in at least?" Harry's begged. Neville contemplated this. After all they did think it was a girl and if they were in there right minds they wouldn't guess it was Draco.
"Slytherin." Neville decided finally. He could feel the eyes boring into his back. The rest of the showering went by silently.
Neville went to the common room after classes. He attempted at doing his school work but his thoughts about Draco kept him busy. Neville has been thinking a lot about his lover more than usual. The fact they had a row just the other day made him think harder. The thoughts were scrambled but one in particular he has been popping up frequently. It was the memory of when he first met the Malfoy. The memory still made him smile to this day.
~Flash back to before first year~
Neville was reading a book on herbology in the garden when the door leading to the garden suddenly opened. He looked up from the page to see a silver haired boy sit next to him.
"You must be Neville." The light haired boy stated merrily. Neville looked at him taking in the sight of the boy. He almost gasped at the mere look of the boy. He had stone-grey eyes that made Neville a little uneasy. His pale skin made his eyes seem piercing. The silver-haired boy was lanky compared to Neville's chubby frame. The boy was wearing a dark green shirt and khaki shorts.
"Yes, and you are?" Neville placed a green worn out ribbon in between the pages of the book, closing it. He placed the book beside him giving the strange boy his undivided attention.
"Draco Malfoy." The silver haired boy stuck his hand out for Neville to shake. Neville looked at it deciding it was best not to, realizing exactly who this boy was.
"What is someone like you doing here?" Neville questioned before he could stop himself. He cringed at the harshness he heard in his voice.
"Mum and Dad want me to meet more purebloods for when I start first year. But between us I don't care, 'mudblood' or 'bloodtraitor' I think a wizard is a wizard and a witch is a witch. What about you?" What Draco said shocked Neville. He never expected Draco to act so...kind.
The boy sat next to him, right next to him. Their arms were touching. You could see the dramatic contrast in skin tones. Neville's dark tan made Draco seem even paler.
"I think we'll get along just fine." Was Neville's rely as they started a conversation on what Neville was reading.
~End of the Flashback~
From that moment on Neville and Draco stuck together 'till Draco's parents found out about his views on muggles. They said Neville was placing nonsense into their son's brain. Of course when Neville's Grandmother heard off this she forbade Neville from ever thinking about the 'Malfoy boy'.
Draco and Neville didn't stop their friendship, though, in actuality it progressed. They would owl each other in secret burning the letters after they have been read and memorized, afraid the other might not write back soon and that letter would be all they had to hold off 'till the next.
Neville remembered the fear that wracked through him when Draco gave him a letter he thought would be the last. On the contrary that letter led to their first kiss.
~Another Flashback~
'Meet me at the astronomy tower at an hour before classes start.' That's all that stuck in Neville's head after he finished reading the note over twice.
'Great now I'll never be able to sleep,' thought Neville laying in his bed clutching the piece of parchment as if his life depended on it.
Neville stayed awake through the night constantly peering at the seemingly slow clock. The hours were agonizingly long. Neville could hear his heart beat in his chest.
'What would he want.' Neville thought about all the possibilities of what would happen when he arrived. 'What if he doesn't want to be friends anymore? What if he has to move from Hogwarts? God I don't know what I'd do if he left me here.'
Those thoughts ran through Neville's head pushing one he was hoping for to the back of his mind. 'He could confess his love for me then all would be well. What am I thinking? Draco would jump off the side of the building before he did that.'
Finally five thirty rolled around and Neville got out of bed as quickly and ass quietly as possible. Slipping on a old faded black t-shirt and worn out jeans he made his way passed the other beds. He tip-toed down the corridors without a sound. turing right he almost ran into peeves when a hand grabbed him and dragged him into an empty classroom. A hand was over his mouth preventing him from yelling out.
"It's me Neville." The hushed voice whispered into his ear. Without a second thought he knew it was Draco who dragged him in.
"Don't do that!" replied Neville in a harsh whisper. "I thought we were suppose to meet in the Astronomy Tower."
"Yeah well I was a little anxious about seeing you." The rare blush was painted against Draco's pale cheeks.
"Why?" Neville couldn't say more he was to nervous to do anything. He stared at Draco waiting for the grey-eyed boy to answer. It was a while before he did. Finally Draco broke the awkward silence.
"I'm just going to come right out and say it Nevile. I love you. I've loved you for a long time now. I can't keep my mind off of you. When I'm with you, you make me feel like a better person then I really am. You make me want to be a batter person. You're like the light at the end of my tunnel. When I'm not with you my world is dark once more and I remember that I have no one. That my parents hate my very existence. When I'm not with you I want to be. You're my world. You don't have to say anything, I just wanted you to know that." He was dreaming that was Neville's logical reason. His subconscious state was playing games. That is all.
"Neville?" Draco questioned softly.
"Please tell me this is not a dream because if it is I never want to wake up. You don't know how long I have waited for you to say that." Draco let out a breathe of relief as he heard the words escape Neville's lips.
"Well then, I will ask you properly about this then. Neville Longbottom will you do me the honor and be my boyfriend?" Neville hesitated trying to scare Draco, he tried to keep a straight face but the look Draco was giving him was enough to send Neville into a fit of giggles.
"Of course I'll be your boyfriend, you nut. You think we'll just confess our love to each other and not do anything about it?" A wide smile spread across Draco's pale face.
Draco walked closer to Neville, cupping his(N) cheek he(D) planted a soft kiss Neville's lips. Neville stood still in shock finally coming to his senses he kissed Draco back. It didn't last long but it meant everything.
When they pulled away from each other they kept their foreheads together, not wanting to end the feeling of happiness they had.
~End of Flashback~
(Please note that in this scene they are not being mean it's just a friendly teasing.)
"What you smiling about Neville? Thinking about your serpent?" Harry taunted jokingly. Smiling him, Ron and Hermione sat down in the chairs nearest to Neville.
"What do you mean? Are you dating someone Neville?" Hermione questioned looking at the boys quizzically.
"It's not just someone, it's a Slytherin." Ron said in a dramatically high pitched, scandalous voice . Ron gasped placing a hand over his mouth in mock shock. Harry laughed at the mocking tone Ron used.
"Really who is she? Is she nice? Do we know her? What is she like? How serious is it?" Hermione questioned Neville at lightning speed. She always had a special mothering feeling towards Neville. She was happy he was seeing someone. Neville needed someone to spend time with.
"I'm not telling you. Yes, they are very nice. Yes you know them. They are very kind, funny and beautiful, caring too. And it's very serious." Neville answered all of these questions on a whim, instantly regretting it. Now they were all a couple steps closer to finding out.
"Wait so you tel 'Mione all this but all you can give us blokes is a house. That's just wrong Neville!" Harry sat bat against his chair shaking his head.
"Why are you so secretive about her anyway? You know you can tell us anything, Neville." Hermione had joined him on the floor, holding his hand in a friendly manner. Neville wondered how exactly to answer that.
"Well if their father new he would...never mind. And I know I can trust you guys but I don't think you would be to found of them if you found out who they were." Neville tugged his hand away from Hermione's, guilt wracked through him. He wanted to tell them but he was scared they'd tell Draco's father. Harry, Ron, and Hermione were the closest thing he had to best friend beside Luna of course.
"What do you mean 'never mind'? What would her father do Neville? Does he hurt her? We can help, you know. " Neville tried to find interest anywhere that wasn't this conversation. His eyes skimmed past a clock. Neville's eyes jerked back to the clock noticing he was ten minutes late to meet Luna at the old oak by the lake.
"I'm late guys. I'll see you at dinner, yeah?" Neville gathered his things rushing outside to meet Luna. He nearly toppled over three people in his hast to get to the lake.
When he reached the tree Luna was waiting against the trunk looking, to the average wizard or witch, as if she was asleep. Neville, not being the average wizard, plopped down on the grass beside her waited for her mind to drop down from the clouds.
"You love Draco, don't you?" Neville was surprised that this question came from Luna. Yeah she knew about him and Draco but they never really talked about him.
"Uh, yeah I do love Draco. Why you asking?"
"I don't want you to get hurt. I know you say it's an act but his aura is just screaming at me that he'll betray you. I love you Neville and nothing can that but I just wanted you to know, just in case." Neville never heard Luna say something so serious. Yeah, sure it was still in that dreamy voice but it was from her heart which was something out of the ordinary.
"I-I will Luns. Promise." Neville reached over and embraced Luna she pushed him away. He looked at her quizzically.
"Wrackspurts are contagious." She said simply.
They spent the rest of the day like that. Luna would say something ridiculous and Neville would just go along with it because in the end Luna was the only one who only cared that he was happy and not who he was happy with.
That's it guys. Reviews would be lovely! I know the ending sucked but yeah I wanted to post. I finally have a plot and I will warn you now if you don't like Mpreg, GET OUT! Remember review!
