Week 4 of the Ship Til You Drop Competition - Neville/Katie
The Game of Life Challenge - sickle, cabinet, Trio Era
Neville wasn't too thrilled to spend his Sunday afternoon scraping molds and mildews off of cabinets. He was supposed to be with his friends in Hogsmeade, having a grand time celebrating the end of the exams. Instead, he was forced to spend time with Hogwarts' many cabinets. He sighed deeply as he wiped an escaping drop of sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
He had planned to buy his girlfriend new Chaser gloves today for her birthday. He had saved up a lot just for it! He still needed a Sickle or two, but maybe he could borrow some money from Harry. Neville groaned as a particularly thick mold was perched on the corner of the cabinet and slightly crawled to remove it. He scraped it off after a few minutes of intense pushing, and finally, the mold separated from the surface of the cabinet. As it turns out, a dull silver Sickle was lying under the thick mold.
Neville almost bumped his head on the cabinet as he retrieved the coin with glee. He finally had enough money to buy Katie new Chaser gloves!
Neville might just borrow Harry's invisibility cloak and Marauders Map just to buy Katie's birthday gift...
