They will never know ❤️

Part 13

Tilly's POV~

Waking up beside Neville was a nice feeling that I could no doubt get used to.

His light snores filled the small room a small strip of light creeping through the curtain and hitting the opposite wall.

I rolled off the small bed onto the wooden floor with a loud thump.

I stopped, listening to see if I woke him up.

He start a little but went back to sleep.

I let out the breath I was holding in.

Collecting my close for the day and will be made my way down to the shower to get ready.

I wash quickly try not to waste any water.

Collecting my sleep stuff and making my way back to the carpeted hallway keeping my eyes on The ground to make sure I don't step on any uneven floorboards and wake up him and his grandmother.

"What are you doing up at this time on Christmas Eve love"

I looked up from my feet to see his grandmother in a sleeping and I'm looking rather dazed and sleepy.

" snoring" I smiled.

" Ah, just roll him  over and It will  shut him up for a while" she smiled making her way back to what I'm guessing was her bedroom.

I got back to the small room placing my dirty clothes on top of my case again try not to make a noise.

I set myself down on the big empty bed with a book that I brought letting Neville sleep.

His nose changed and volume throughout his sleep.

No wonder his grandmother kept him all the way up here.

His eyes fluttered.

"Good morning piggy"

He gave me a small raspy laugh sitting up and stretching his arms out to his side.

" was the bed comfy" he questioned.

" i slept beside you sleeping beauty" l laughed.

" I knew you wouldn't take it" he spoke getting himself out of bed.

"Come on Longbottom we have things to see" I'll chuck some clothes at him and sort myself in front of the very little and only window in the room.

My back turned to him while he got changed.

" you know you don't need to turn around if you don't want to Tilly" he spoke with a small tremble and his voice.

" as much as I'd love to I don't want to get sidetracked" he knew what I meant by sidetracked and let out a nervous chuckle.

"Ready" he finally called out from behind me.

Breakfast was filling but I couldn't help myself eating so that  I could barely move which made Miss Longbottom laugh.

"After the both of you have recovered from breakfast you should go out for a while and enjoy yourselves make sure to wrap up though won't you"

"Of course gran" neville said with a cheery tone.

It was nice to see him like this all happy and chatty sometimes he seems so tense at school I was looking over his shoulder.

I couldn't blame him it's just sometimes I wish he would stand his ground and not let the Slytherins  push him around.

We got up from a chair is helping his Graham to clear up.

Sitting ourselves down in front of the small log fire so that we could let our food settle before we face to cold weather and find  something to do.

I lay back cleaning my head back into his lap and letting out a long sigh.

This must've made Neville worry.

"You ok Tilly you know you could go home if you know" he was stroking my hair.

" I'm happy Neville"

I was and I never wanted it to end.

Nevilles POV~

My heart skipped a beat and I got used to the feeling by now not letting it get me all flustered and sweaty.

It wasn't real I mean look at it from an outsider's point of you.

I have never had someone treat me the way that she did and I love every friggin second of it.

But this moment in particular was different.

Her head was in my lap her Long silky hair was spread across my thighs and she was happy.

Neville.

The way she softly spoke my name I had never properly heard her say speak it before always "Longbottom" or some other weird nickname should said out of the blue.

He was so sweet and delicate.

The best thing about her being here was that my Gran also seemed happier.

She was so much nicer when she's happy and she seem proud.

I have never talked about having a go over apart from Luna with my Gran so it was a nice change although I do miss Luna during the holidays I know that I would receive a letter soon.

A loud clunk came from the kitchen which made me and Tilly both jump to our feet quickly making our way through to the kitchen just incase my gran was hurt or someone was trying to get in.

It was far from what I was expecting.

A large black cage with a large barn I will sitting slightly puffed up in its cage.

"Sparky" Tilly ran  forward and opened the door of the cage slightly to pat the birds feathered head.

"Sorry Mrs Longbottom I hope you didn't get a fright" she stood back up once more.

"No worries dear lovely owl you have there" my gran whistled to the bird that gave her a look then went back to sorting out it's feathers.

There was a note sitting on top of the cage which Tilly quickly pocketed before my gran could notice it.

"Poor thing I'll let him out to hunt for a bit" she patted the top of the birds cage.

"Good idea dear remember to take the cage upstairs though keep it out of the way if you know what I'm saying" my gran went back to whatever she was up to and Tilly made her way out of the kitchen carrying the cage with care making sure not to rock it to much.

The small door swung open and the bird flew out and headed straight into the trees.

"What a beautiful thing isn't he"  she stared into the opening in the trees where the bird had once been.

"Tilly" it was quiet but she could still hear it.

"The note I know" taking it out of her Jean pocket holding onto it with a tight grip.

I had no clue what the note said but I had no doubt that it wasn't going to be a Christmas card.

So nice to be updating again it's getting cute.

Can't wait for the note/letter haven't written one yet so that will be interesting.

Hope you all have a lovely night

Love Meg x
