Impossible (A Neville Longbottom Love Story) (On Hiatus)

Chapter 22

   The next day was Saturday. Neville and I woke up early, before everyone else and snuck down to the kitchens. We got breakfast for ourselves and some food for Sirius. Yes, he was an idiot but he still has to eat.

   We left the kitchens and went out to the tree. After making sure nobody had followed us, I froze the tree and we went inside. We walked up the stairs and found Sirius lying on the bed asleep.

"Cover your ears." I told Neville.

   He looked at me strangely but did as I had told him to. I screamed a bloodcurdling scream and Sirius fell out of bed.

"What's going on?" He asked as Neville uncovered his ears.

"You're an idiot," I said.

"Thank you, but that doesn't answer my question." Sirius said.

"What if you had been caught?" I asked.

"But I wasn't," Padfoot said. Smartass.

"That's not the point." I grumbled.

"What were you doing, anyways?" Neville asked.

   Padfoot sighed before responding.

"You know the Weasley boy's rat, right?" He asked.

"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?" I asked.

"It's Pettigrew in hus animagus form." He said.

"He's missing his toe." I gasped.

"Exactly." Padfoot said.

   I checked my watch.

"We have to go, the boys will be up soon. No more sneaking into the castle." I said, shaking a finger at him.

"One last thing." He said.

"What? We really have to get going." I asked.

"Are you two together yet?" He asked, smirking.

   Both me and Neville blushed and I could tell that my hair went pink.

"I'll take that as soon." Padfoot said, smirking.

"Go to hell." I said, glaring at him, causing him to laugh.

   Me and Neville left and I checked my watch again. We were both still blushing quite a bit.

"We really have to go, they'll be up any second." I said.

   We left the tree and hurried back to the castle. When we got back to the dorm, we were relieved to find that everyone was still asleep. Thank Merlin.
