Lost Together-story continuation

Hogsmead

AN-I'm sorry for being gone so long and popping up on a different account but I will be continuing this story.

"Oi, Potter," Blasie said to get the response of incoherent grumbles. "Wake up. I need your help"
"Mn mm. Too early."
"It has to do with Neville."

Immediately Harry sits up in bed and looks Blaise in the eyes.

"What is it?"
"That's what gets you up?" Blasie questions, eyebrow raised at the humor of it. "Who would've taken the Chosen One for a good wingman."
"What can I say? I have a soft spot for romance," Harry replies, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Well, when me and Neville were talking yesterday I invited him to go to Hogmead with me today and he wanted to bring some friends."
"Yea I'd love to come. Anyone else tagging along?"
"Maybe Pansy. I don't think Draco will want to come. What about your friends?"
"Every other Gryfindor besides me and Neville probably have a raging hangover so no."
"Well get dressed and meet me in the Great Hall for a bit of breakfast. Then we'll be off."
"Ok, see ya."
"Later."

Harry walks into the bathroom and brushes his teeth, purposefully not looking in the mirror. Then he pulls on some dark blue jeans with rips on the knees, a white tee shirt that's covered by a dark green hoodie. Lastly he slides on plain white socks and his black vans.

'I should eat something,' Harry thinks, walking out of his room. "Just some toasts and eggs will be fine."
'Maybe I should just double check and see if Neville has already come out.'
As he opens the dorm to Neville's shared dorm with Draco he only sees one full bed, the one with Slytherin green blankets.
'He should come to breakfast too.'

Just then Neville walks into the room, toothbrush in hand, after hearing the door open.
"Oh, morning Harry"
"Hiya, Neville. Ready to go downstairs?"
"Yeah. Are you coming with us to Hogsmead?" Neville asks as he joins Harry in the hallway after finishing his dental hygiene routine.
"Yes, Blasie just asked me. That okay with you?"
"Of course, but are you sure it's ok for you to come with us? I don't want to take up your time if you have other plans."
"No, Neville, it's fine. I wanted to go to Hogmead today anyway. Now I get to go with friends" Harry says, smiling at Neville. "Are you thinking of getting something for Blaise?"
"How could you tell?"
"You seem nervous. Like you have something important you wanna think about."
"Well yea. I wanna get him something, even though we aren't dating yet. I just wanna be nice, like he was for me. Do you know what he did last night?"
"What?" Harry said, hoping it was fluff.

"He told me that the Hogesmead trip wasn't gonna be our first date because I deserve to go somewhere nice. It surprised me to hear such things. I've never been told that I deserve something, and something nice at that. I wanna do things that are memorable for him too. But I feel he's put a lot of thought into this and I dont wanna ruin that by trying to be nice too. So I thought there was no better time than now. I wanna get him a good present, though, he's gotten so many before and I don't wanna be like those other people because I care for him very much and I want him to know that I know he cares for me too."
"I believe in you Neville. I think you should get him something from the heart. Something that'll remind him of you whenever he looks at it, so he won't forget you care. I don't think he's ever gotten one of those from someone he also cares about."
"Oh, you're right, that does sound wonderful. Thank you, Harry. You give great relationship advice for someone who's single. Ohh I mean-"
"It's fine Neville. I'm not looking for a relationship right now and I recently broke things off with Ginny."
"Are you shopping for anyone, Harry?" Neville asked, trying to make up for his comment.
"I might grab a thing or two for Ron and Hermione but besides that I'll just be browsing."
Harry commented as he walked through the doors of the Great Hall. It wasn't early in the morning, but it was the weekend so, luckily, it wasn't too loud.
