✰Magical Nights✰

I sigh and put my books down. This isn't working, I need a break. I decide to go downstairs to see what the others are up to. As I walk past, I hear yelling coming from our living room. "No, no! Come on! That's not fair!" They're playing another video game. Of course. "Yes it is!" "No it's not!" "BOYS! Would you be please quiet for a second?!" Hermione's voice seems to calm them down a little. "Haha, poor Harry! Sleeping with my sister has made you weak!" "RONALD WEASLEY! I heard that!" Ginny comes in and slaps her brother with a towel. Harry just laughs and kisses her on the cheek.

I find Hermione in the kitchen, chuckling, while drinking her tea. "Oh hi Neville! Done already?" "Not really. I'm revising, but I can't concentrate." She softly smiles at me. "If you want or need my help..." "I know, thanks, Mione." Then Ginny comes in, still laughing. "Neville! Fancy a cup of tea?" She asks, taking her own mug. "No, thank you, I think I'm going out for a stroll, clear my head a bit." She nods and jumps on the kitchen counter, next to Hermione. "Be careful." "I will." I grab my coat and scarf and open the door."Bye guys!" "Don't forget your keys! I don't wanna wake up to open the door for you tonight!" I hear from the livingroom. "Got them, Harry!" I laugh.

I take a deep breath. It's november and it gets quite chilly nowadays. After walking around for awhile, I see something that immediately attracts me, on the other side of the road. A small coffeeshop, called "Cacio Thé". Warm, bright lights shine through the windows and almost seem to pull me inside. I cross the street and open the firm-looking wooden door. The second I enter, the pleasing warmth overwhelms me. I loosen my scarf a bit and look around, suddenly feeling very calm. The shop is definitely twice as big as it looks like from the outside. I take a deep breath and sense the aroma of fresh coffee and scented candles. Long strings of retro light bulbs are hanging from the ceiling and softly light up everything. In front of me, I see a big, round, wooden counter. Half of it is filled with delicious looking pastries, the other half is used for the machines, where two baristas move around, making the drinks and preparing orders. Behind them, there is a big cupboard, filled with vintage cups and plates.The counter divides the big room in two equal parts. On the right side there are multiple tables of all sizes, where some people are eating and working hard on their laptops. On the other side, the whole wall is covered with shelves or cabinets, filled with different books in all sizes and languages, old and new ones.

I smile to myself. Hermione would love this. I see some students carefully sliding their finger across the book covers, deciding which one to pick first. A few people are reading, sitting on the colorful sofas, or just lying on the soft carpets. A tired boy has fallen asleep in his seat, glasses still on, mouth wide open and his books on his stomach. A small blonde girl walks towards him. I follow her movements curiously. Is she going to wake him up? Oh, poor guy! Instead of doing what I expected, she just quietly takes his books and cup and puts them on the table next to him. After softly taking his glasses of, she puts a pillow under his head and swiftly lays a blanket on top of him. So cute! The girl picks up her bag and walks away from him, backwards. She suddenly turns around and looks at me intently. What should I do now? She literally caught me staring at her! She slowly steps closer to me. Then she just smiles a small, but kind smile. I nearly get the chance to process everything and smile back , she just picks up her bag, takes her coat in her hand and leaves the shop. When I hear the doors close, I wake up from my trance. I have to do something! I quickly run outside, only to see her walk away. Well, she's not exactly walking, it's more like skipping, dancing almost.

I stand there for a while, just staring in the void. Then I realise that it's getting quite late. I really need to get back, before it gets too dark. When I finally arrive at our apartment, I can't help but notice that I'm still smiling.

I wake up the next morning and although I'm really tired, I also have a lot of energy. I get ready and grab my bag, reliving last night. I almost fall down the stairs when Ron runs past me, still putting his clothes on. "Watch out, Longbottom! I'm hungry!" I catch my breath and steady myself for a second. Thank god it's friday. I enter the kitchen and find the others, except for Ginny, eating their breakfast. "Good morning guys!" I smile. Harry looks up from the sandwich he's making and smiles at me. "Morning Neville." Hermione slaps Ron's hands away from her plate. "Ron! Stop eating my food! Make your own breakfast! God!" "But your toasts are always better!" he pouts. "Oh whatever!" she shoves her plate into Ron's hands, who gladly accepts. "You really can't blame him, 'Mione. Your toasts are the best." Harry defends his best friend, chuckling at the situation. Hermione sighs deeply but cracks a small smile. "Thanks. Oh Neville, How was your walk last night?" "Oh it was great. Kinda cold, but great." I can't help but grin. Before anyone can make a remark, Ginny pops up next to me. "Hello everyone!" She smiles and walks over to Harry, who eagerly kisses her. "Good morning love!" Even though this happens every morning, their cuteness still makes me smile. Then she pours some tea in her cup and grabs some fruit and yoghurt from the fridge. "Did I miss anything yet?" She looks around the room. "Well" Harry starts "Neville said his walk was great last night." "Ooh, great" Ron wiggles his eyebrows and Harry, on the other end of the table, laughs . "Details" Hermione mouths and Ginny winks. I should've seen that coming. I just grin and take a bite of my sandwich.

On our way to campus the two girls walk next to me, really curious and demanding me to tell them everything. I do so, grinning at their facial expressions. "Oh god,that's so cute!" "Yes, Hermione's right! You should go back tonight! Get to know her!" Ginny slaps my chest, really excited. "But what if she isn't there? I mean, I don't even know her name!" "Oh don't worry!" Hermione comforts me. "I'm sure you'll find her! And if you don't, we'll all help you!" Ginny smiles at me reassuringly. In class, I have the same problem as the night before. But this time, I can't concentrate because of a blonde girl in a blue dress, constantly dancing around in my head. I felt myself relax as soon as I heard the last bell ring and I can finally head home. I really hope I'll see her again, she really intrigues me, in a special, new way.

Friday night is take-out night and this week, it's Ron's turn to go and get chips. Harry and I were cleaning up the living room a bit, so we could sit there together, a tradition to celebrate the weekend. "Where are the girls?" "Oh, uhm, Ginny is upstairs, working on her essay. Apparently I gave her some great ideas and she needed to write everything down immediately." I nod at him. "And Hermione had to do some kind of test or dissection on a rabbit today and she really needed a shower." I chuckle, our poor med-student. "How was class today? Interesting plants?" He asks and we both laugh. "Not really, I couldn't concentrate." "You, know, the girls are right, you should go back and look for her tonight. Otherwise this will only get worse." "I know and I will. How was your class?" We start discussing a theory on the DNA of a criminal when Hermione enters the room in Pj's and throws herself on the couch. "Finally! I'm so tired." she starts explaining how her classmate tripped and threw all of the pig's organs all over her. Both Weasley's finally arrive and we all start eating. I really enjoy our friday nights, everyone's just so happy and we all mess around a bit.

After dinner i go upstairs and change my shirt. I have to look kind of presentable, right?

"Good luck!" Ron pats my back and Hermione gives me a thumbs up. "Go get her tiger!" Oh, god Ginny! I leave quickly, because they're only making me more nervous and I really can't hold myself. Calm down, Longbottom! I enter the shop and she isn't here yet. Oh. Maybe I should get a drink this time. I decide myself and order a coffee with a lot of cream and some kind of cookie. I take a seat and start drinking, trying to not freak out. Just as I want to leave, someone shows up at my table. I smile, there she is! "Luna Lovegood" she says, a small smile on her pale face. For a second I'm confused. "Oh, Neville. Neville Longbottom" "Nice to meet you, Neville longbottom." She looks around dreamingly. "Do you believe in magic, Neville?" "Yes, well, I think so?" "Don't worry, that's ok. I believe in a lot of things."As we were sitting there, in silence, I quietly admired at her while she's daydreaming. "Luna, why aren't you wearing shoes?" "Oh, I took them off, to pick flowers, but I forgot about the snow, so I didn't find the ones I wanted." I should bring her some, next time. I mentally applaud myself for a second. "Oh, yeah, I understand. Aren't your feet cold?" "No, I'm still wearing my socks." Suddenly she looks at me. "Neville, please come outside with me." She skips outside and I follow her, a little confused and excited too. She stands still in the middle of the road, thank god there never are cars here. I stand still and watch her move around as if she was dancing with somebody invisible. I had never seen anyone more beautiful. "Come dance with me!" she looks at me and I walk towards her. I take her hand and twirl her around. "But there's not music." I say, when she looks at me. "Oh Neville, believe me, there is music, I can hear it. It's beautiful" She softly pats my chest, looking up into my eyes. "There is music in your heart, Neville." She smiles and I swear, I can see the stars in her eyes .
