[Kitten speech]

Neville's Mate

(With Harry and Neville)

Harry and Neville were in Harry's room. They were making sure that they had everything packed since the next day was going to be the first day of school. Despite the fact their family lived on campus they didn't want to forget anything. They wanted to make it as normal as possible. Their things were on the floor as they went over the checklist.

"I have everything packed." Neville said.

"So do I." Harry said.

"Good. We are ready then." He said.

"Yes we are." He said sadly.

"Are you okay?" Neville asked him.

"Yeah. Just sad." He said.

"I understand. I know you want a normal year but at least we get to see our friends in person." He reminded him.

"That's true." He smiled.

"Eventually we will go home but we just need to be patient." He said.

"I know. It's just hard. I hate that a stupid self fulfilling prophecy made me the target. I hate that because Severus and the others are close to me, they are also targets." He sighed.

"I know." He hugged him. "Hopefully soon that man is taken down."

"I hope so." He hugged him back.

Knock knock

"Are you both ready?" Fay asked.

"Yes." They both answered.

"Good. Professor Gladius is here." She informed them.

"Already?" Harry asked, surprised.

"Yes. There is a new transfer student and she will be in your dorm. He wants you both to help her feel welcome. According to him she is very nervous." She informed them.

"Oh okay." He said.

"Come along." She smiled.

"Okay. The two said, grabbing their things.

They met their professor at the door. He smiled at them and gave them more information. The new student was a flora fairy, like Neville. She, like Neville, also came into an inheritance instead of being born one. Unlike Neville, her family abandoned her. That was why she was transferring to the school.

Both felt for the girl. Harry knew what it was like to not be wanted by your family for being different. Both made a silent vow to be that girl's friend and show her the love her family didn't. They were soon off with the professor. He showed them to their dorms.

Fourth years were sorted by elements. Harry and Neville were in the nature dorm. Lola, Jason, Kairi, Rosemary, and Dawn were also in the nature dorm but they were going to arrive later with the rest of those sorted into the nature dorm.

"Are you both ready?" Their professor asked.

"Yes." The two agreed.

"Great." He let them inside. "Caroline?"

"I'm here." A soft voice said.

Neville's eyes went wide when he saw the girl. She had shoulder length sandy blond hair with pink, blue, and purple streaks. She was pale with a beauty mark under her right eye. Her eyes were a dark brown. She was around the same height as Harry. Her wings were similar to a dragonfly's wings. The tips of her wings were a rose pink. In the middle the color changed to baby blue with light pink flowers. The part of her wings that were attached to her back were light purple. Like Neville's wings, Caroline's seemed to be surrounded by glitter. Her ears were also pointed.

Neville knew that this fairy was his mate. He thought she was gorgeous. Harry smirked when he realized what was going on. He was happy for his best friend. He walked up to the girl and offered her his hand.

"Hello. I'm Harry Potter-Davet. It is nice to meet you." He said.

"N-nice to meet you as well. I am Caroline Smith." She shook his hand.

"This is my best friend Neville Longbottom." He knew his friend was too tongue tied to speak.

"H-hi." She nervously waved, wondering why she felt a pull to him.

"H-hi." He waved back after finding his voice.

"I'll leave you kids to it." Professor Gladius said with a knowing smile.

"Goodbye professor." Harry was the only one to say.

"Goodbye." He left after that.

Harry grabbed their bags and went into their room. He put Neville's on his side of the room before unpacking. He then changed into his uniform. He returned to the other two and found them staring at each other. Harry couldn't help but laugh.

"What?" The two looked at him.

"Did you two even notice the professor leaving or me going to my dorm room and returning?" He asked.

The two blushed at that. It caused Harry to start laughing once more. It was hilarious. He shook his head and sat down. He then looked at Caroline.

"Before the RA gets here you will want to change into your uniform. They will have you do it anyway but this just makes it easier." He said.

"R-right. Thank you." She ran to her room.

"You too, Neville." He said when he spotted the fairy pouting.

"Fine." He grumbled and went into the bedroom.

Harry shook his head and took out the mirror phone. He sent a text to his mate and let him know what happened. He just wanted to make sure he didn't accidentally do something wrong. Lucas said he didn't and that made him relieved. The glare he had received from Neville was just because he was grumpy that his mate went to her room and not because Neville was jealous.

Soon others arrived at the dorm. Harry said hi to his friends and gave them a friendly warning. They thanked him and went to their dorm rooms to unpack and change. The RA came, made sure they were all changed then took them to the dining hall.

"I am Wellington Tapp. I will be turning 23 in two days and I am the Herbologist's apprentice. As many can tell I am a wizard." He introduced himself.

Wellington had short strawberry blonde hair. He was pale and littered with freckles, His eyes were a deep blue. He was very tall and fit. He looked at one of the kid on the right of him.

"You're up, kid." He said.

The kid stood up. "Hi. I'm Ash Metallic. I am a wood nymph, Earth dryad, and metal weredragon hybrid. I am fourteen years old. I also want to be an animal healer."

Ash had metallic sage green hair that was in a mohawk. His eyes were shamrock green. His deep brown skin had a metallic shine to it. He was the tallest of the bunch. His ears were pointed and turned downwards. His horns and wings were chocolate brown. They too had a metallic shine to them.

"I'm Jason Brown and I'm fourteen. I want to become a potion master. Oh and I'm a nature elf." He said.

"I'm Lola Summers. I am a fourteen year old witch. My plans are to become a healer." She introduced herself.

"Hi. I'm Kairi Blaine, a werewolf, and I'm fourteen. I still dream of being a potion mistress and creating werewolf friendly potions." She said after Lola sat down.

"Hello. I am Rosemary Fairyweather. I am a fourteen year old nature elf. I want to work with children but I'm not sure how." She introduced before sitting down.

"I'm Dawn Curious. I am fourteen and a cat demon. I am planning on taking over my mom's travel company." She said.

"Hello I am Caroline Smith. I am fourteen and a nature fairy. I was going to be a lawyer like my mom but now I don't know." She softly said.

"That's okay." Harry said to her. "You still have time to figure that out."

"Thanks." She smiled at him.

"You're welcome."

"I'm Angelica Badgley. I am fourteen and a Siren. My plan is to become a social worker for magical children." She introduced.

Angelica had dark red hair and bright blue eyes. She was tall with a slight tan. Her face was covered in freckles.

"I'm Neville Longbottom and I am a nature fairy. I am also fourteen and plan to be a herbologist." He said.

"Hello. I am Harry Potter-Davet. I am fourteen and a neko. I plan on being a professional artist."

After that they ate and talked. When they finished they returned to their dorms. Harry thought it was cute when Caroline and Neville began walking together and talking. They were so cute together.

Harry noticed how Ash was looking at her and frowned. It seemed like he had a crush on the new nature fairy. He hoped the hybrid wouldn't be a problem. He didn't want the two to have to deal with that. He knew what it felt like to have someone trying to steal his mate away. He made a mental note to keep an eye on him.
