the secret

neville pov
i couldn't sleep last night. something is definitely wrong. i don't know what i did to make y/n act like this. it's breakfast time now, i'm scared i might break out in tears if i leave the room. but i have to. i go to breakfast after checking the common room and y/n's hiding spots. where is she?

y/n pov
the bathroom floor is cold. you sit with your knees to your chest, crying. you didn't sleep all night. "y/n please! just come out! tell me what's wrong! i can help you if you just let me in! please?" hermione says through the door. you imagine that everyone else has gone to breakfast at this time in the morning. you crawl out of your spot on the floor and slowly walk towards the door. it creaks when it opens. while wiping a mix of snot, tears and spit from your face with your sleeve, hermione walks in. she frowns at the sight of you. "so..? what happened? tell me." you pause before replying. you don't know if you should tell her or not. your eyebrows twist into a confused, sad expression. she just looks at you.

"okay. okay.. i- i'm" she pauses. "you're what?" hermione replies. "*sigh* i'm pregnant with neville's baby and i don't know how or what to tell him and i feel guilty and i'm really scared." y/n spills out quickly. hermione has a shocked expression on her face. she just stares at the girl in front of her. "uh. woah. h-how do... how do you know? have you taken a test?" "not yet. but i'm 2 weeks late on my period and we don't really.. use... protection." she replied with a slight smile on her face. both start laughing. hermione stares at her. "why don't we clean your face up and get some food? and we can.. we will figure out.. something." "okay."

i see y/n and hermione come into the great hall together. she looks tired even from across the room, but she's still so beautiful. they sit down at the opposite end of the table. i need to talk to her but in private. if something did happen i don't want to get yelled at in public. i wait for her to finish eating and talking so i can follow her out. she leaves with no one. good. i speed walk after her but she's walking fast, too. i hear her sniffling.. is she crying? "y/n! please wait! i need to talk to you!" i call out after her.

y/n pov
     you feel sick to your stomach so you barely eat a bite of food before just walking back to the dorms. while walking through the empty halls, you hear a familiar voice call out your name. you wince when you hear it. you stop in your tracks and turn around to face him. he looks so scared. "we need to.. talk." you say to him. he gulps and nods as you grab his hand to lead him somewhere private. "there's a room. a closet by the lavatories." he says to you. you nod and head towards it.

     the door closes behind her and she locks it. "something's been wrong lately. what is it? i know you've been acting... different the past week or so." neville says. "i know. i know i've been acting different. it's- it's just." "just what?! you've been so distant lately! is it something i did? or said? just tell me and i can help you!" he replies, raising his voice. she cowers slightly. "i'm sorry! i just don't know how to tell you!" "tell me what? i don't think anything can make me love you less." "if i tell you, you have to promise not to freak out and please don't leave me..?" "i-i... promise?"

     this must be something really serious. i mean, whats the worst that can happen, right? "i- i'm uh... i'm... i think that i'm... pregnant. with your baby." my expression drops. my eyes widen. i cannot believe what she just told me. "you're.... what? excuse me?" a tear rolls down her cheek. i feel my own eyes tearing up. "are you- are you sure? have you taken a test? who else knows? how far along do you think?" i sputter out. "okay umm, i haven't taken a test, i told hermione this morning and i missed my period so a month and a half maybe?" i take a big breath. it could all be fine and she's not pregnant. "i will always stay with you. never for one second would i even think about leaving you especially if you are carrying my own child inside of you. i love you so so so so much. never think anything else." i hug her close. "i'm hungry now can we go make food?" she whispers in my ear. "of course, my love."

p.s. happy birthday neville!! technically he would be 43??
