It was a calm summers day, the sun poring through the windows of the castle as Y/n made her way around Hogwarts. Her footsteps echoed around the corridors with each step she took. It was pretty quite as everyone else was at lunch, outside or in their common rooms.

Y/n did originally plan on spending her Saturday in the Slytherin common room, curled up on one of the many seats with a good book but it was a little to cold and dreary for her taste. So here she was, walking around aimlessly with nothing better to do.

It was very quiet in the part of the school Y/n was currently walking through and it would have been the perfect time to just let her mind wander but she was quickly stopped when a faint sound that was similar to someone crying could be heard.

As Y/n walked further down the hall the noise grew louder until she turned the corner to see Neville Longbottom curled up in a ball, crying. Y/n thought for a second. Neville hadn't realised the girl was standing in front of him which bought
Y/n a little time to think of how she was going to approach the situation.

The girl crouched down in front of the crying boy. "Neville?" She asked softly, gently placing her hand on the Gryffindor's shoulder. "Hey Neville? It alright. You don't need to cry now. I'm here, you can tell me what's wrong."

Neville had stopped crying the second the Slytherin's hand was placed on his shoulder. He shook his head in response, not wanting to lift his head up from where it was placed in his hands.

Y/n moved from her crouching position in front of the boy, choosing to sit beside him instead with her back resting against the wall. "Come on Neville. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here for you." Every word that the girl spoke was as smooth and as soft as a feather.

Neville sniffed, slowly moving his head up. This revealed all the bruises that decorated Neville's face. His bottom lip was also burst, a small tail of blood still seeping from the wound, suggesting that it was done only a few moments before Y/n got there.

When Y/n saw Neville's face she fought back a gasp. She didn't want Neville to feel as bad as he already did. "Who did this?" She whispered, inspecting Neville's face to see if there was anymore damage.

"Malfoy and his gang." Neville was soft spoken as his cheeks flared up in many shades of pink and red. As soon as Y/n heard Malfoy's name anger started to flare up inside her. She never really liked Draco that much as he was always bullying people he thought were beneath him, giving Slytherin a worse reputation in the process. Not all Slytherins are mean or bad and Y/n was proof of that.

"It's okay Neville. They're not here now and if they come back they will be sorry. I'll look after you Neville. Okay?" Y/n ment what she said. If Malfoy came back anytime soon she was going to show him how hard a girl can really punch. She knows Hermione has already shown Draco that, Y/n was there to witness it, but she also knows that the girl was holding back a little so the next time Malfoy shows up let's just say he'll regret ever crossing Y/n in the first place.

Neville glanced up at the girl before quickly looking away, finding the floor more interesting. "Y-you don't have to do that. I d-don't want to be a burden to anyone."

"Don't be silly Neville. You're not a burden to anyone. I'll look after you and that's final no 'ifs' or 'buts'." Y/n was persistent, not allowing Neville to talk her out of it.

The Slytherin reached into her pocket, taking out a clean tissue. She gently took a hold of Neville's chin and moved his head to face her. She dabbed the tissue on the blood from Neville's burst lip, which was starting to dry up, cleaning it away. There were a few more smaller cuts on Neville's face that Y/n hadn't noticed before so she cleaned them up too.

After the cuts were cleaned Y/n reached into her pocket, pulled out her wand then said a spell she remembered from one of the many books Hermione has made her read. The spell healed Neville's bruises and Y/n finally let go of the boy's face.

"There no more bruises, almost as good as new. Sorry I don't know a spell to heal multiple cuts yet." Y/n apologised.

"It's okay." Neville spoke quietly. "Thank you. No one has been this kind to me before."

Y/n smiled then unexpectedly pulled Neville into a hug. After a few moments of shock the boy hugged back causing Y/n to smile. "I'll always be here for you Neville. No matter what."

Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I feel really bad about having to make you all wait but it has to be done sometimes.

I would update a lot sooner if I could it's just that I'm really struggling to write some of the requests. It's not that they're difficult to write, I just don't know how to write them. Like a few are about the person/reader being insecure and I have no idea how to write that. I have tryed multiple times but I just can't get it right so if any of you wouldn't mind helping me a little it would be greatly appreciated.

Anywho, thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it.
