A Little Bit of a Party

Neville

Slowly Neville and I walked into the side room with his arm wrapped arm around my waist. Once the door closed lights began to flicker all around us. I looked around and realised that there were candles everywhere and in the middle of the room was a tartan picnic blanket. "Wow," I said "this is amazing." Neville's arm slipped from around my waist and he led me by the hand over to the blanket. Neville laid down and I did the same resting my head on his chest.

For a while Neville and I stayed like this just listening to each other's breathing. "I like this," I said "with most guys I've dated this would be awkward but this is nice, it's a relief."

"Oh," Neville said suddenly going quite sad.

"That came out wrong," I said face palming "what I meant was its nice not to feel like I'm expecting to put out all the time." I said lifting my head and turning over so my chin was resting on his chest.

"Put out?" Neville asked confused.

"Sex." I said simply. Neville put his arm round me and hugged me to his chest.

"How long do you think we've got left?" I asked.

"Five minutes." said a voice coming from nowhere. I rolled off Neville and onto the blanket then propped myself on my elbow.

"Let's play a game." I said. Neville rolled over onto his side and propped himself up on his elbow as well. "Like what?" Neville asked.

"Truths, it's like truth or dare just without the dares." I suggested.

"OK, I'll go first." Neville said.

"How did you know Beauty and the Beast was my favourite Disney movie?"

"When you took me dress shopping for the Weasley's New Year party you tried on a yellow dress and you felt like Belle from your favourite Disney movie."

"Wow, that was like four months ago, you have an impressive memory."

"Not really, I just remember it because you looked amazing in it." he said causing me to blush "Anyway, what's your favourite colour?"

"Red, even though I'm a Slytherin. Have you ever had sex?" I asked. Neville went a particularly bright shade of Scarlett. "You don't have to answer if you do not want to." I said suddenly feeling very guilty. "No it's alright. No I haven't in fact you're the first person I've ever dated." he said "How old were you when you first had sex?"

I shifted uncomfortably unsure whether to tell Neville or not. "If I tell you you'll think I'm a whore." I said simply.

"I could never think of you like that." Neville said sweetly brushing a strand of hair out of my eyes. "Fourteen." I said avoiding Neville's eyes. I heard him gasp in shock. I turned over onto my other side as I didn't want to see disgusted look Neville would definitely be making. "See now you think I'm a slut." I said angrily.

"No I don't." said Neville. I turned back around to face him. "I think you're really brave telling me, it can't be easy as you're worried what people will think but you can trust me." with that Neville kissed me lightly as the door opened. "Arrrr, cute." A voice said behind us. Neville broke kiss and helped me up. Then we walked back into the main room.

Once Neville had sat down I surveyed the room. Draco was frozen to the spot. Flora was curled up on Blaise's lap. Tasha was reading her book. Charlotte was resting her head on Adrian's shoulder and Emma was sat next to Ron. "So did everyone have a good time?" I asked getting nods from everyone, except Draco, and a few blushes. I then pointed to Draco. "What happened?" I asked. Blaise held up his hand, "That's my fault, I think I traumatised him." he said. I shrugged and turned to the group. "That concludes our festivities for tonight so you may go back to your lovely, lonely four poster bed or there's some mattresses and blankets in the cupboard." I said.

The group had a quick debate on what to do and decided it was too late to go back to our respective common rooms so the mattresses and blankets were brought out. The rest of the night was spent talking as everyone slowly fell asleep in the arms of their respective partners or in Tasha's case in the pages of a book.
