You hate to say it, but you hated your year. All of them were so obnoxious and loud that it made you want to wear earplugs all day every day. You'd say there are only a few people in your year that were your friends, proper friends. Yeah, you talked with Hermione and Ron sometimes maybe with Seamus and Dean but nothing compared to your true friends. Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood. You and Luna have been friends since the start, your parents knew each other. But Neville had tagged along in one of your herbology studies classes with Luna and ever since then you three have been inseparable. And you'd like to keep it that way. You were glad there wasn't some random guy in class who asked for you and Luna to do all the work in herbology studies, instead, Neville helped! He was sweet and kind and awfully shy but that's what you love about him. You weren't going to lie, you were quite pretty in your year. A lot of boys had asked you out before to your surprise. Luna always says it's your eyes that attract them, or your smile. Which always makes your heart smile, she's so nice.

"Neville!" you whispered to the brunette boy down the aisle in the library. "What?" he said in his British accent, sticking his head over his big herbology book. "We're gonna be late for potions!" you quickly walked up to him and grabbed his wrist. "___!" he exclaimed from the quick touch. "Come on!" you hurried, looking back, smiling at him. He shyly smiled back, cute you thought. His smile always sent butterflies to your stomach. There was just something about him that made you this way. You let go, trusting him to not get caught up in his book again. "___"  you heard Luna say nicely from up the hall. "Ah! Luna hi!" you said happily meeting your best friend. "Are you ready for potions?" she asked in her normal kind tone, "I don't think I'll ever be ready for what Professor Snape has to offer" You giggled quietly and so did she.

You three walked into potions class, luckily it seemed there were still a few bare seats so you weren't too late. Your little group sat at a table and took out your books then started very peacefully chatting with each other trying not to disturb anything. "Who is late?" Snape asked the class while looking at the clock. No one answered. "It's Potter and his dumb friends," Draco Malfoy said and sneered with his friends that sat beside him. This made you upset and angry, mostly angry. Draco had always hated Harry for what reason you can't remember. "Alright, I'll make sure to give them detention when they arrive, if they arrive" Snape corrected himself and turned to the class. You sighed, feeling bad for Harry and his friends. "Is something wrong Ms____?" Snape asked in his usual monotone voice. "Uh no sorry Professor Snape" you answered nervously and started fumbling with your fingers. He just turned and started explaining what you were doing in class. You had never liked potions and you were almost certain it was because of Snape. His annoying face with his annoying voice. He was just so boring! And he was the only teacher you thought, that didn't do his job properly. Other than some certain Defence of the Dark Arts teachers. You had started to get drowsy and you knew you were going to fall into a deep sleep any second. You leaned against Neville, he jumped a smidge. He looked over to you and opened his mouth to say something, then paused. He knew you were about to fall asleep and he knew you deserved it. So he allowed you to rest your head on his shoulder and get comfortable. Thank god you three were in the very back of the class or Snape probably would have given you the same faith as Harry, Ron and Hermione.

Just before you fell asleep, you felt a hand intertwine with yours it's warmth made you smile slightly. He was gentle, very gentle. He traced his soft hands across your fingers sending you shivers. With his other hand he wrote down notes for you to take down later, he knew you would need them. "Sleep well" he whispered softly into your ear making you pass out of sleep deprivation and a heart attack from Neville's words and actions. You just knew you both were going to get a lot closer this year from now on.
