You get back in the castle past midnight after your date with Draco. You split up and go to your separate dorms for the night after saying your goodbyes.

When you walk through the Gryffindor portrait hole, you see Neville sitting alone on the sofa with two textbooks spread out in front of him. "Hey, Nev. Late night studying?"

"Yeah. I've got to be ahead of the class."

"You're already ahead of the class."

He shrugs.

"Well, goodnight."

"'Night," he says before yawning."

When you walk into your dorm, you were expecting to see Hermione sleeping peacefully, but instead, you see a shirtless Ron in bed with Hermione.

When they hear the door close, they stop kissing. "Bloody hell, y/n!"

You giggle, then grab a box of cereal from the top of a shelf. "Hey, 'Mione?" you say.

"Yes, y/n?" She says with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Did you get railed yet or was that just about to happen?"

They look at each other, faces getting red. You get no answer.

"Then I'll be on my way," you say, walking back out the door. You eat your midnight snack as you make your way back down the stairs. There's not many places you can go at these hours, so you'll probably just go back to the common room.

"I'm back," you sigh, laying down on the sofa across from Neville.

He looks up for a split second and gives you a tired smile before continuing to jot down notes on a piece of parchment.

"You know, you really have nothing to worry about. You've never failed an Herbology exam, and Sprout loves you."

"Yeah, but I've got N.E.W.T.s this year."

You look up at the ceiling and eat your cereal. After a couple minutes, you say "hey, Nev?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you have any idea what you're going to do after Hogwarts?"

"I know I want to continue Herbology... that's why I have to get 'Outstanding' on my N.E.W.T. Erm... I could study plants and maybe find a new species. Or if there's an opening as professor one day, I might want to take that."

"Wow, sounds like you've got your life together."

"How about you, y/n?"

"I have no idea. I'm not particularly good at any class. Maybe open a shop in Diagon Alley?" You look over at Neville. "It's pretty late. Maybe you should get some rest."

"You as well."

"Can't. Hermione has Ron over." You give him a look implying what they're up to.

"Oh... I can wait here if you'd like."

"You're sweet, Neville, but I'll just crash in Draco's room."

"You sure?"

"Yep," you say, offering him a kind smile.

"Ok then, I'll see you tomorrow." He gathers his books and stands up.

"Nice talking to you."

You wave goodbye and part your ways. You slip out of the common room and into the hallway, where you walk to Draco's room. You look really tired and just want to rest.

"Y/n." He fluffs his blonde hair and pulls you inside. "Miss me already?" He looks really tired too. Like he can barely keep his eyes open. Hopefully you didn't just wake him up.

"I just need a place to sleep," you say, rubbing your eyes.

"'Course, baby. I'll always have a place for you to sleep."

You lean into his arms against his bare chest, your messy bun hitting his face. He picks you up throws you on his bed. He lays between your legs, and wrap your arms around him, feeling his heartbeat. He closes his eyes. He feels safe with you. You run your fingers through his blonde hair.

What are the odds someone as perfect as him would want me? Little do you know he's thinking the exact same thing.

You kiss the top of his head. "I love you, baby."

You know he's asleep when he doesn't respond. You feel him breathing on top of you. You intertwine your fingers, hoping to not wake him. He is yours, and you are his. Soulmates
