The Greenhouses

(Neville's Pov)
I shoved the mandrake in its pot, it's loud scream still ringing in my ears. Even though I still had ear muffs, I remembered clearly in my first year how I had fainted in class. Malfoy still teased me about it.

I brushed the dirt off my hands, and inspected the other plants. Luna seemed embarrassed about yesterday. I had no idea why. She was sad, and I comforted her. There was no need for any explanations.

It wouldn't get in the way of our friendship.

I kept sorting plants, until I heard true door to the greenhouse open. I looked up, and saw Luna.

She smiled sheepishly. "Hi, Neville." I stood up, placing a plant on a shelf. "Hi, Luna." She watched me for a bit, before suddenly taking a deep breath.

"I'm really sorry about yesterday. I just was a little hurt, and-" I went up to her, and looked at her sternly. "Luna, you're not a Looney. Parkinson had no business doing that to you. You deserve a lot more."

Luna blushed. "I, uh...thank you." I nodded, satisfied. "I want to show you the greenhouse, Luna. You showed me the thestrals. So I want to do something in return."

I gently took her hand, and showed her around. She was very interested in all the plants. Luna's large eyes surveyed the entire greenhouse, and for some reason, I felt a sense of pride. The only thing she didn't like were the mistletoe. She kept saying something about nargles.

Luna even helped me with the mandrakes. She said she didn't like them as much though. It was an all around, very nice afternoon. Usually I'm alone in the greenhouses, and it's nice to have someone there with me.

We sat on the bench, looking out the window of the greenhouse. Luna swung her legs back in forth, smiling. I felt a little happy, she must've been sad from yesterday. I was glad to make her feel better.

I sighed. I could tell Luna I liked her now, it felt a good of a time as any. I cleared my throat.

"Luna, I wanted to tell you something." She looked at me. "Yes?" She asked airily. "I, uh, I like-" Luna suddenly pressed her lips against mine. I was really flustered, and surprised. She pulled away quickly, her face red.

"I'm sorry. I don't know why I did it."

I was still a little surprised. "D-don't be sorry." I grinned. Luna blushed harder.

"It was nice to be with you Neville. We should do it again." She waved, and ran out of the greenhouse, and I saw a flash of a smile.

I sat there for a moment, trying to comprehend what just happened.

"That was amazing."
