Wow. I haven't updated this in a long time. sorry about the wait people. Year 3 is coming up.

I do not own Harry potter

Chapter 3

Third year was…different. Harry and Neville continued their friendship with no problems, but the world around them was changing. They gained a werewolf as a teacher and a convict escaped from prison. Boys in their year were looking at girls and the girls were giggling and looking at the boys.

Harry and Neville never looked at the girls, but the girls were looking at Harry. One girl in particular stood out from the crowd. Ginny Weasley, little sister to his best friend Ron. She flirted and blushed, dressed up and flaunted her looks, acted coy and mysterious just so she could get Harry's attention.

It wasn't working and it wouldn't.

Harry didn't look at Ginny. He didn't look at her long red hair or her pale skin; he didn't look at her developing curves or her flirty smiles. Instead Harry was looking at Neville. He noticed how Neville got taller, taller than Harry, he noticed how soft his dark blonde hair looked he noticed the way his brown eyes would light up when he spoke about plants. No, he didn't look at the girls in his third year. He looked at Neville.

And Neville was looking at Harry. The girls never looked at Neville. Well, they did but they always called him fat or chubby. Their eyes saw right through him, but he didn't mind. He didn't want them to see him; he didn't care if they saw him. Because he wasn't looking at them he was looking at Harry.

He noticed that Harry had gotten just a bit taller over the summer, about three inches or so. Still shorter than Neville. He noticed that his face had thinned just a tad bit and he had grown his hair longer. He noticed that his emerald green eyes sparkled when he was happy. No, Neville didn't need to look at a girl when he could just look at Harry.

Third year continued this way. They looked, but they didn't understand why. Fourth year things would be different. A lot different, but really it wasn't Neville's fault. It was Harry's.

Well here you go people. Check out the poll on my page and my other fics.
