Another day in Herbology

"Does everyone have their flowers?" Professor Sprout questioned, the class nodded in response. "Okay now, does anyone have an idea of today's lesson?"

Hermione's hand shot up in the air. "Ms.Granger, go ahead." She let out a quick breath before speaking. "We're working on the properties of certain muggle flowers."

Professor Sprout shook her head. "No, not exactly." Hermione looked down at her feet and let out a throaty noise.

"Do you know, Mr.Longbottom?" My heartbeat fluttered. Neville stuttered before letting the words come out clearly. "W-Well none of these flowers have bloomed professor, so I was thinking maybe the Herbivicus Charm."

Professor Sprout smiled. "Indeed Mr.Longbottom. Five points to Gryffindor." Neville gave a nervous smile and I tapped his shoulder. "You should become a professor someday. You know even more than Hermione." He blushed lightly. "You think so?" I nodded once before bringing my attention back to the lesson.

"The Herbivicus charm can be used to make flowers bloom, make plants grow at alarming rates, and even defeat certain beasts." Professor Sprout dragged on about how the charm could be dangerous if done incorrectly.

I looked up at Neville, he seemed so focused and interested. He'd never give me this kind of attention.

"Now, I want all of your flowers bloomed by then end of class. You have fifteen minutes and the house with the most flowers bloomed gets 20 points." Professor Sprout said, interrupting my train of thought.

I looked down at my flower and sighed. Neville's flower was already half bloomed. "Do you need some help?" He turned to me. "Uh, y-yeah. That would be great. Oh um please." I stuttered out, sounding unnatural.

"Are you alright?" He questioned. "I'm great, thanks." I looked up at him with a nervous smile. "Okay, so you want to imagine you flower blooming. Now, take your wand and do this symmetrical crown-ish motion." I pursed my lips as he showed me the motion. I tried to copy it, but it looked a bit sloppy.

"Here let me help." He wrapped his hand around mine. My face felt hot as he guided me through it. "Do this while saying Herbivicus." He let go of me and backed away.

I pointed my wand at my flower. "Herbivicus." My flower bloomed steadily and I smiled. "Thank you Neville." Out of instinct I hugged him, but before I could let go he hugged me back.

We stayed there for what felt like hours before awkwardly let each other go. "Time is up!" Professor Sprout announced. Several Slytherin boys had dropped their flowers and squished them.

"Okay there's four....five..not fully bloomed..... Okay seven." Professor Sprout murmured as she counted each bloomed flower.

She clasped her hands together. "Fourth place Slytherin with three full blooms." Several students let out noises in protest. "Ahem. Third place Hufflepuff with five blooms. Second place Ravenclaw with seven blooms and first place goes to Gryffindor with a whole eight flowers bloomed!" She said excitedly.

I smiled up at Neville. "Keeping my word, 20 points to Gryffindor."
Neville tapped my shoulder. "Meet me outside of the greenhouse right after class...please." He turned and let out a nervous sigh. I smiled down at my shoes.

The students filed out of the classroom to the left. A few students headed to the right and I followed them. "Where are you going?" Snape said mischievously. I looked up at him.

"To class professor. I think that's where most of these students are going as well, might want to check with them before you assume though." I faked a smile and carried on, reaching the edge of the greenhouse with a few more steps.

Neville trailed behind me looking rather red. "H-Hi Neville, y-you said you wanted me to meet you here." I stated nervously. He smiled,"Yeah. I wanted to tell you something."He grabbed my hand and pulled me close. "Oh-um I didn't hurt you, did I?" He said, breaking his cool tone.

"Okay, okay, okay. Let me tell you that I'm actually really nervous right now just having you this close to me because I like you. I like, like-like you, if that makes sense....a-a-and in not really all that great b-but I wanted you to maybe be my girlfriend. I mean I'm told you like me and if you don't i-it's okay and I just...." His voice trailed off in an insecure way.

"Neville, of course I'll be your girlfriend....and I like-like you too." I kissed his cheek, causing him to blush a deep red. "Lets get to potions before Snape comes looking for us."

I held out my hand and he starred at it nervously before taking it and walking with me.

A/N: If you ever see any mistakes just tell me and I'll fix them asap. I'm working on a few more chapters and I'll post those soon. Fluffy hearts <3 Bye
