Lovely - Neville Longbottom

6) Believe

Nora was studying alone in the library when Neville came up to her. "Hey Nora." He said sweetly. "Hello Neville." She smiled. "What are you studying for?" He asked sweetly. "For Snape's class. He's giving us a test." She said. "Oh shoot I forgot all about it." Neville stated. "Well no worries, I'll help you study." The brunette girl offered. "Really?" Neville said in a hopeful tone. "Yes! Come over we'll share books." She said as they scooted closer to one another. "Thank you Nora." Neville said. "It's no problem." Nora smiled.

The two third years sat in the library for most of the day. It was now 30 minutes before curfew and they were now walking back to the Gryffindor dorms.  "Nora." Neville said shyly. "Yes Neville?" Nora replied sweetly. "Do you think people have like soulmates?" He asked in a shy tone. "I'd like to think so. If there's magic why wouldn't there be soulmates?" she replied. Neville smiled, happy that someone like Nora understood his views on the world. They got back to the common room and said goodnight to each other as they went their way into their dorms. 

When Nora got back she was greeted by Nicolle. "Where have you been?" She asked. "Oh I was in the library with Neville." Nora replied. "Ooohh did anything happen?" Nicolle asked with a smirk on her face. "Like what?" Nora asked as she got her things to get ready for bed.
"Like did you guys kiss?" Nicolle said wiggling her eyebrows. "No why would we kiss?" Nora asked walking over to the mirror. "Because you like each other. When you like someone you kiss them." Nicolle said. "Like them how?" Nora asked taking off her tie and shoes. "Like boyfriend and girlfriend." Nicolle replied. "But we are not boyfriend and girlfriend so why would we kiss?" Nora asked slipping off her robes. "Because you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend." Nicolle said. "But we don't. We are only friends." Nora explained as she put her robes on a hanger. "Neville seems to want to be your boyfriend." Nicolle smiled. "What makes you think that?" Nora asks hanging up her robes. "The way he looks at you. And the way you look at him sometimes makes me think you want to be his girlfriend." Nicolle says, the smile never leaving her face. "We are only friends Nicolle." Nora says grabbing her stuff for bed. "I don't believe that for a second Nora." Nicolle said rolling over on her pillow. "Well choose not to believe me it's the truth." Nora said as she walked out of the girls dorm to go to the shower rooms down the hall. Nicolle giggled as Nora left.

Nora had only 15 minutes left till curfew. So she quickly got her shower and quickly brushed her teeth and hair and ran back to her dorm. She made it back to her dorm with only 2 minutes before curfew. She turned off her lamp and closed her eyes.
