Neville Longbottom, the boy who lived year 4

Chapter 11

While people were looking for dates Ron, Neville and Harry were talking to each other.

"Why do they all have to travel in, packs? I mean how are supposed to ask one?" Neville said.

While they were walking people were looking at Neville.

"Bloody hell Neville, you splayed dragons. If you can't get a date who can?" he asked.

"Think I'd rather take a dragon right now." he said.

Later that day they were doing their homework.

"This is mad. Neither of us has a date to the ball." Ron said.

Then he was sent something and caught it.

'Get a move on or all the good ones will be gone.'

He turned around.

"Who are you going with then?"

Fred put a ball of paper and threw it at someone. She looked at him.

'You, go to the ball with me?' he mouthed.

"Oh, yeah." she whispered.

He turned around and winked at him. Then Ron turned around and looked at Hermione.

"Uh Hermione, you're a girl."

"When I last spotted." she said.

"You wanna dance-"

Neville kept tapping his shoulder. Then they were both hit by a notebook by Snape.

"I can understand a boy not going but a girl, that's just sad."

"I won't be going alone because someone already asked me." Hermione said.

She went and gave Snape her notes and then picked up her other things.

"And I said yes!"

Then Ron looked over at Harry and Neville.

"How about this, when we both get to the common room we both have partners. Agreed?"

Snape pulled up his sleeves a bit.

"Agreed."

Then they were hit by Snape.

Later that afternoon Neville was on his way back to school after taking a quick walk when he bumped into Cho.

"Cho!" he said.

"Neville." she said and pushed him to the other side while they tried to switch places.

"Watch your step on the stairs, it's a bit icy on the top."

"OK, thanks." Then he turned around. "Cho?"

"Yes?" she said.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the ball with me?" he said while an owl cheeped.

"Sorry, I didn't hear that?" she said.

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the ball with me?"

"Oh, um Neville I've already been asked to and well I said I'd go with them." she said frowning.

"Oh, ok, no problem." He started to walk away.

"Neville!" He turned around. "I really am, sorry."

He nodded and then split up.

When it was nighttime Hermione, Harry and Neville were in the common room when they heard something.

"It's ok Ron, it doesn't matter." Ginny said.

"What happened to you?" Neville asked.

"He just asked Fleur Declare out." she said.

"What?!" Harry and Hermione said together.

"What'd she say?" Neville asked.

"No of course!" Hermione said.

He shook his head.

"She said yes!" Harry said in shock.

"Don't be silly. All I did was see her walking by. And now I like it when she walks. Then it sorta slipped out." he said.

"Actually, he sorta screamed at her. It was a bit frightening." Ginny said.

"What happened then?" Harry asked.

"What else? I ran for it." he said.

"Hi Neville." the Pati twins said together.

Then he looked at Ron and Neville then them back.

He already had a date of his own.

"Hey!"
