HARRY: I will steal your laptop

Me: NO! Please Don't

Harry: You know what you have to do

Me: I'm Gonna Cry.

Harry: RedVines…

Me: I Don't Own Harry Potter! *Sobs Uncontrollably*

Ginny: Damn, Right you don't.

Chapter 2

The Green Houses are my New favorite place

I wake up with Neville's arm across my middle. I notice that's it's 5:30 in the morning. I lay there and close my eyes. I feel Neville grip my waist tighter and snuggle into my hair. I smile and wait for the others to get up. I might as well try and take a nap…

I wake up and it's 6:30. Dean is standing in front of me. I smile and the others come into view. I smile as Neville moves. I move with him so I don't wake him up. Thy look at me and Dean asks, "What time did you get up?"

"5:30. Went back to sleep, just got up again."

"Why haven't you moved?" Harry asks.

"One, I don't want to wake him up, and two, I'm way too comfortable."

I lean into Neville's form and close my eyes. I feel him move and stretch. He gets up and I sit up. I put my hair in an elastic band and sit up. I walk over to the girls dorm and see the others rushing. I shrug and take a shower. I come out and dress in my favorite pair of jean shorts, a short sleeved, blue top, and a pair of my favorite converse. I brush my hair into a ponytail and tie it. I walk out with no make-up except for a little bit of pink lip-gloss.

I sit and eat with Neville and his friends before we head out to the green houses. I walk up to Professor Sprout and wave hi. Neville comes up behind me and introduces us.

"You love Herbology too, Alice?"

"Terrible at it, ma'am, but I'm hoping that I can get better."

"Well, Neville here is the Herbology guru if you want help."

"Thanks, Ma'am."

Neville walks with me and points out a plant that looks like the Devils' Snare.

"Flitterbloom."

I giggle before repeating, "Flitterbloom."

"It's less dangerous then the Devils' Snare."

"Wow, I'm afraid I might get them confused."

We go through the Green houses before we sit in a room of Orchids and talk.

"Are you in 5th year, or the year below?"

"I'm in 5th year classes, but on November I turn fourteen. I'm a year and a little over three months younger than you. What's your favorite thing about Herbology?"

"That I don't need magic. That something can grow without the help of man-kind."

"Beautiful."

"What's your favorite subjects and why?"

"Well, I used to take culinary arts along with my magic classes, which it the art of cooking. I could create art that tastes so m, m good. After that, it was Chemistry, which is the elements and how they form together to create other chemicals. Then I guess potions. It's as complicated as Chemistry or the culinary arts. If none of the measurements or ingredients are correct, the whole thing is skint."

We walk around the greenhouses and I see a passionate side I didn't think was possible in this shy boy. I knew he was nice, but I never knew he could be so passionate. His eyes turn bright like a city Light, and his voice is as powerful as lightning. I listen to him and laugh at the times when he asks if I'm bored. At the end of the tour, it's lunch time. He walks me into the great hall and sits next to me.

I grab a turkey sandwich and a glass of pumpkin juice. Neville eats his own lunch and when I finish he starts to stop eating.

"Neville, you don't have to stop eating. I'll sit with you."

I sit and he finishes. He downs his pumpkin juice. I wipe his mouth of the pumpkin juice dribbles. He smiles and I walk hand in hand with him. We walk out to the green houses and he shows me how to clip the Devils' Snare. I clip and when we finish I walk out to the lake. Neville talks to Professor Sprout as I sit at the edge and start to sing.

Before I fall

Too fast

Kiss me quick

But make it last

So I can see

How badly this will hurt me

When you say good-bye

Keep it sweet

Keep it slow

Let the future pass

And don't let go

But tonight I might fall too soon

Under this beautiful

Moonlight

But you're so hypnotizing

You've got me laughing when I sing

You've got me smiling in my sleep

And I can see this unraveling

You're love is where I'm falling

But please don't

Catch me

"Alice."

I turn to Neville. He has something in his hand. It's a necklace made out of woven silk-sap leaves and tied in is a heart-shaped ruby and a tiny sapphire in the shape of a tear. I admire it and he interrupts my train of thought. "She said you can keep it."

I ask if he can put it on me, and he does. After, I flick my hair out of it's silk-sap restraint. I hug Neville and thank him for letting me help in the greenhouses. He hugs me back and says I'm welcome any time. He walks me up to the Gryffindor common room before he says he has to go back to Professor Sprout and help with the Mandrakes. I thank him and recite the password. He walks away after I wave through the portrait.

I sit on the sofa and stare into the fire. I'll tell you secret, I like Neville.

Dean comes down, plops on the couch, and he says, "It's Neville, isn't it."

I nod and bite my lip. I tighten my grip on myself as an elf appears with a cup of hot chocolate, a piece of Apple Cinnamon Pie, and a note saying, Enjoy. I remember Dean saying something about these being the best things to give you to be on your good side. Sweet Dreams in your own dorm. I'm here if you need someone to talk to. See you in the morning

-Neville Longbottom

Dean is chewing and I realize he has my pie and has taken a bite. I take it out of his hand. I take a bite savoring the warm, gooey inside of the pie. I finish it and drain the hot chocolate. I walk upstairs, change into Dean's boxers and shirt, then lay down and close my eyes. I hum "Jump then fall" then go on and sing.

I like the way

You sound in the morning

We're on the phone

And without a warning

I realize your laugh

Is the best sound

I

Have

Ever

Heard

I like the way I can't keep my focus

I watched you talk

You didn't notice

I hear the words but all I can think is

We

Should be

Together

I stop and fall into a slumber as the sugar mixes in with my own bodily chemicals creating a sense of security, safety, and love. All I can really think about is Neville.
