(A/N: Just wanted to say, Xael and Chloe have no classes together anymore which is why they haven't been talking much, they see each other occasionally but not as often, they are still close though.)
That night, I met Neville outside by the Black Lake and we watched stars together until like 2 in the morning, it was awesome. I love him so much, I wished the night would never end, but I'm sure there will be more like it.
~~~TIME SKIP TO THE DAY OF THE BALL~~~
We had gotten the day off to prepare for the ball and I was getting ready with my siblings. Fleur was doing hair, Bella and I were doing makeup and Gabrielle was offering moral support.
We were nearly finished getting ready for the ball after 4 hours of hard work. We went from my dorm to the common room. I grabbed a piece of chocolate on my way out, earning a look of disgust from Bella.
"What?" I asked
"I can't believe you ate chocolate before a dance!" Bella scolded "You'll look bloated and smell like chocolate."
"I don't care, chocolate helps with nerves." I replied walking out the door.
Neville was waiting in the dungeon hallway, Seamus was with him. We all walked together to the Great Hall and sat at a large white table, there were a few other couples sitting there, Hermione and Victor, Xael and Oliver, and Dean and Lavender. I personally hated Lavender, but I tried to put up with her just the same.
I had been going for a walk with Neville and we saw Hermione sitting on a staircase crying, Ron and Harry were gone, so was Victor. I walked over and made her get up and knocked some sense into her
"You're Hermione Freakin' Granger, you can do anything. You're the brightest witch of our age AND you were brave enough to punch Draco in the face." I said causing her to laugh "Get back out there and find someone new, you will make him jealous." I said smirking
"No, I'm not that kind of person." she said
"You are when you need to be." I said
"It's fine, really." She said, I turned to Neville and indicated him to switch places with me, he did and I ran to Fred Weasley.
"Fred, I need your help." I said
"What with?"
"Ron is being a prat to Hermione and I know you like her, so help her make him jealous, this way you have a chance with her." I said causing him to choke on his butterbeer
"Really?" He asked "I don't know who to be angrier at, George for telling you, you for being blunt like that or Ron for being a prat." He said
"Well, get over it and cheer her up." I said dragging him to Hermione, I told her my pllan and she shook her head.
"And they call be the brightest witch of our age." she said
"Well, I have my moments." I said smirking
"If you'll excuse us, we have a walk to go on." I said taking Neville's hand
We went to the black lake and Neville stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?" I asked concern laced into my words
"Nothing, you just look amazing." He said
"Aww, thank you Neville." I said
"Shall we head back?" He asked
"Yes, can we have one last dance?" I asked
"Of course." He said as we walked into the Great hall, he twirled me around and I started giggling like a little school girl.
Neville and I danced for most of the night, in fact we were the last couple to leave. The Weird Sisters played music for most of the night, personally I thought it was a bit loud, but everyone loved their music and over time I grew to like some of their songs.
