The Leaky Cauldron
By Spark
Neville took a seat at one of the booths at the Leaky Cauldron. He took out the letter that was from Luna. Luna was his ex-girlfriend but still is his friend. He opened it up and started to read it. Luna talked about her travels and how she met a guy and his name was Rolf Scamander. She was going to bring him home for everyone to meet. By everyone she meant their friends Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione.
He sighed, he could tell that she had moved on from him. That he was the friend that she brought guy home to meet. He folded the letter and put it back in his pocket. He didn't have anyone to show off when she came home. His life was in the dumps. He knew that he needed to move on and he had somewhat. He started to date other woman but they were inserted in Neville the war hero not Neville who had a love for plants. He ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
Someone placed a butterbeer in from of him. He looked up to see Hannah Abbot standing there with a smile on her face. "It looked like you needed a drink."
He smiled. "Thank you, Hannah." He took a drink.
"What is wrong, Neville?" Hannah asked.
"My love life," Neville took another drink. "Luna found someone on her travels and bring him home to meet everyone." Hannah frowned. Everyone knew of the relationship between Neville and Luna. They were to part of the golden couples. It was always Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione, and Neville and Luna. Luna broke up with him a year and a half ago. Neville fully got over it. His name was linked with other girls but none were as long as his relationship with Luna. "It seems like her love life is moving and I'm happy for her but I haven't found someone I can bring to meet my friends yet."
Hannah wanted to hug him. "You got to keep looking because there is somebody out there for you. They could be next to you in the lift or walk right pass you. Somebody is for you."
Neville smiled. "Thank you, Hannah." Neville finished his butterbeer and paid for it before he left.
He walked down the Ally to the bookstore. He needed a book for his studies. He picked up the book and saw a girl standing next to him reading the back of the book. Her hair was a golden brown and her eyes were behind a pair of glasses. Maybe she was the one he was waiting for.
"Hi, I'm Neville Longbottom." He stuck his hand out for her to shake. She turned and saw that her eyes were blue. She smiled at him.
"Hi, Neville. I'm Ayisa Silverton." She smiled as she shook his hand.
"Would you like to get coffee?" Neville asked.
"Sure," She said and followed him up front.
The coffee went on for an hour, it ended for Neville when she said that she would love to meet his friends right away. He paid for their coffee and left. She wasn't the one for him. He shook his and headed for the Leaky Cauldron for a drink before going home to his grandmother. He had just open the door and saw that Ron and Harry were here before heading home to their girlfriends. He tripped over someone and made them both fall. He got off of them. "Sorry," He held out his hand to help them up. He saw it was Hannah. There was a look in her eyes that made him smile.
He saw his future in them even with her mad at him. Why had he never notice Hannah before? Her beautiful blond hair was in a ponytail and her blue eyes. She wasn't the girl from school but a woman who could make heads turn when she wanted to.
He helped her up. "Thank you, Neville," She wiped the dust of her. Neville smiled.
"Why don't I buy you dinner for making you fall?" Hannah looked up with shook on her face. She saw the smile on his face and a look in his eyes that he was asking for more than dinner.
"Sure," Neville held out his arms and Hannah took it. He led her out of the building down the street to a little café.
