"Hurry up Neville!" I yelled from the common room. "We have to get to Black! He must be starving already!"
We had decided to call the dog a name that suited him, Black, because of the color of his fur. Yeah, I know, super creative, but apparently he accepted it because after we called him, he barked and wagged his tail.
"I'm coming!" Neville called as he jogged down the stairs.
He was on the last step when he tripped on his untied shoelaces. Stumbling forward he fell into me.
"Sorry Darcy" he said as he got himself together. His face was red as a beet as I giggled at him. After this three years he still forgets to tie his shoelaces..
"Don't worry Neville, come on let's go before Black waits more."
We walked out of the common room towards the great hall, on our way there Neville became quiet, I mean, stranger than usual.
I looked over at him, and he felt me staring because he turned to face me.
I know Neville is a shy guy at the beginning, but he was never that shy with me anymore."Is something wrong Neville?" I asked and he shook his head.
"Okay" I said doubtful "In case you want to tell me anything, I'm hear to listen, ok?"
He nodded and a small smile appeared on his lips, making me smile back.
We walked for a bit longer and we were almost there when Neville grabbed my arm slightly as a signal to stop.
"W-well..." He said nervously and looking at the floor
"Yes Neville?"
"Well, you see, this year we are going to Hogsmeade and... and I was wondering if you would like to go with me" he said finally looking up.
"Well of course I would!" I said cheerfully "Who else would I go with?"I said and placed a hand on my hip "you no what, I'll probably go with my best friend, Pansy Parkinson" I said sarcastically
He chuckled and his smile grew wider
"Come on silly" I said and linked my arm with his and lead the way.
We were seated in the griffindor table, eating breakfast, and also preparing Black some sandwiches.
Suddenly Dean, that was in front of me, made a very confused face.
"Malfoy?" He asked, as his expression turned into a scowl. I turned and watched the git walk with pride, his smirk on his face.Our part of the table grew quiet as the git came closed, Dean, Seamus, Harry and Ron were sending him hateful glares as he made his way closer to the table, but particularly... Me?
He stood infront of me, I looked up to meet his eyes and glared at him.
"What do you want, Malfoy?"
I turned to look at Neville surprised by his words, I smiled at him and he smiled back."I came to talk to Darcy, Longbottom" he spat and turned to face me.
He said my name?
Confused, I returned my glance up to Malfoy "what is it Malfoy?"
"Can we go talk somewhere else?" He said a little lower.
"Ummmm, I can't right now, I have some things to do"
"Oh, ok" he said and smiled "how about before lunch?"
