HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM! 30th July 1980!

I walked through the halls of Hogwarts clinging to my Slytherin cloak. The halls were filled with chatter about the Yule Ball and how quickly it was approaching. Girls could be heard whining about the fact the didn't have a date and others boasting about theirs. I didn't have a date but not because I hadn't been asked. Countless amounts of guys from Hogwarts and Durmstrang even a few girls from Beaubatons however I refused all of them. There was only one person I would happily go with, he was my best friend but he had barely talked to me since it was announced that there would be a ball.

I walked down to the green houses as I had Herbology with the Gryffindors. I walked in a little late but Professor Sprout smiled at me and waved to a seat at the back, continuing with her lesson. I smiled back and walked towards the seat she had pointed out. It was next to Neville. Offering him a smile I sat next to him, he returned it with a weak smile. He seemed nervous.

"Okay class I want you to write an essay  in partners." People began to whisper getting into their own pairs, "now, now class don't get ahead of yourself. I'll be putting you into your pairs." A groan erupted throughout the class. Professor Sprout went through everyone and ended saying, "and finally Mr. Longbottom and Miss. L/N." She then approached us when everyone else was working and whispered: "I expect a great essay from my two best students."  I looked over at Neville and saw he was already looking at me. When we make eye contact he instantly looks away, his cheeks going pink.

"So when do you want to meet up to do this essay then Neville?" I asked him.

"Um, we - we could meet in the library m-maybe during our free period?" Neville stuttered. He's adorable.

"Sure, sounds great!" I chirped. A wide smile spread across his face.

My free period soon came around and I made my way to the library to meet with Neville. As I approached I noticed him stood outside the library fiddling with the hem of his jumper. "Hi Neville!" I called waving at him. He gave me a large smile and waved back. Once I reached Neville, before I could greet him a group of guys from my house came over. It was Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle.

" Y/N, you and me are going to the Yule Ball together." Draco smirked.

" Yeah, I don't think so." I told him taking Neville's hand trying to take him into the library away from Malfoy and his goons. I felt a hand grip onto my shoulder and quickly spin me around.

" What's that supposed to mean?" Draco spat. I was about to retort but someone beat me to it.

" It means she doesn't want to go with you Malfoy. Anyway she's already got a date." Neville growled pulling me away from Malfoy.

" And who's that?" Malfoy asked his eyes narrowed at Neville.

"Me." Neville said simply with a strong voice. He was rarely this confident but when he was it was extremely attractive. He's normally sweet and shy. His words suddenly sunk in and I realised what he had said. I tried to hide my shock as Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle stormed off. I turned around and looked up at Neville with a small smile. His face was bright pink and was trying to avoid eye contact. I held his chin in my hand making him look at me.

" We're going to the Yule Ball together huh?" I asked smirking. He began stuttering so I leaned up and pressed my lips to his. He froze for a moment but soon melted into the kiss. His hands rested on my hips. I pulled back and whispered, " I would love to go to the Yule Ball with you Neville." He smiled leaning back in to kiss me.
