Neville Imagine

A/N: Heyy glad everyone liked the last chapter 😂 random question: when do you go back to school? I go back August 29

It's everybody's first day of classes since the school year has started, and you're super excited. You walk out of the Great Hall from lunch, waving goodbye to your best friend. You make your way to the library to pick up a textbook before your next class.

As you search the shelves for the book you need, you accidentally bump into someone else. "Oh! Sorr- oh, hey Neville!" You say with a smile. The boy goes pink in the face and smiles back. "Hey, y/n. See you in class." You watch as Neville walks away. You have to admit, he definitely has gotten better looking since you guys were younger. You admit, you do sort of like him now.

Once you find the book you needed, you run out of the library and towards your next class. You take a seat and give a small wave and a smile to Neville, who goes pink again.

Once all of your classes are over, you grab a book and make your way to the courtyard. You always like to go to the courtyard to relax, despite all of the other noisy students around you. You take a seat under your favorite tree and start to read. "Y/n?" You hear someone mutter from in front of you.

You look up to see Neville, rubbing the back of his neck. You smile, your stomach filled with butterflies. "Hey, Neville. What's up?" Neville smiles and drops his arm back to his side. "I..I wanted to apologize for running into you in the library. Not running into as in seeing you there..no, running like running running I'll shut up now."

You let out a small laugh. "It's okay, really. It was probably my fault anyways." He just gives a small shrug and goes even more pink in the face. "Anyways..I was wondering if you maybe wanted to study with me? Like, if you're free now?" He asks. You smile and stand up, holding your book. "Yeah, I'm free. I'd love to study with you."

You and Neville bring your textbooks and work for classes to an empty area in the library. You two study(half of the time was studying, the rest was Neville gushing over herbology and you listening) for a couple of hours, just enjoying yourself. "Neville, I had a great time. We'll have to do this again sometime," you say, gathering your stuff into your arms. He does the same and nods. "Of course. I-it was really nice, t-thanks." You nod as you two start to walk out of the library together. "You should consider being an herbology professor when you graduate." You suggest with a smile. "Yeah...maybe I will."

The next day, after your classes, you sit back under your favorite tree and start to read again. The other students bustling around you like usual don't bother you or make you distracted. But one thing, one person, does catch your attention. Neville is on the other side of the court yard, on his hands and knees, frantically searching the ground for something. You notice Hermione Granger standing near him, rolling her eyes and slightly laughing. She's probably thinking that Neville could just use magic to find whatever he's searching for.

Once it starts to near dinner time, you get up and leave the courtyard. Neville is talking to Hermione near where he was on the ground. Maybe he found what he was looking for. After you eat dinner, you start to walk back to your common room. You glance out a window as you pass it, and notice a clear night sky. You take a detour and go up to the astronomy tower, leaning on the railing, enjoying the night.

The sky is cloudless, and the moon is as bright as ever. Little dots, the stars, shine brightly and are scattered everywhere. No magic needed to take your breath away. You hear footsteps getting louder and louder from the stairs leading up to where you are. You turn, expecting it to be a professor about to tell you to go to your common room. Instead, it's Neville who's walking towards you. You smile and turn back to the scene.

"Hey y/n?" Neville says from next to you. You turn your head towards him. "Yeah?" Neville takes a shaky, deep breath and reaches into his robes pocket. He pulls out something that looks like a necklace. He hands it to you and you look at it more closely. It's a simple necklace, with a silver chain and a small heart charm attached to it.

"Aw, Neville, this is so pretty. Thank you." You say, looking up at him. He grins and goes red. "Well..I've been meaning to ask you but...would you like to go out sometime? Like...on a date?" You gasp, not expecting that. "Oh! Of course, Neville, I'd love to." You say, your face turning pink.
