Harry Potter Imagines

Neville X Jessica Diggory

"Come on Jess, we have to go to the Great Hall to see who gets chosen for the tournament." My friend said, whispering, really rather badly, as I was finishing my essay.

"I just have about two more lines to write then I'm done. I can't get another detention from Snape." I replied, rapidly scribbling the last few lines.

"I swear you're like the only Hufflepuff to get a detention." she said, peering  over my shoulder, I sighed, "That's not true, there are loads of other Hufflepuffs who get detentions. And you got a detention the other day."

She rolled her eyes, "That was because I knocked over a plant. Now, hurry up." She replied, as I finished up my essay and placing it in my bag. "Alright, done. Now lets go." I said, walking out of the library.

We walked into the Great hall and sat down at the Hufflepuff table, I looked over at my brother and gave him a small smile, which he returned. 

Professor Dumbledore walked up to the centre of the Hall, waving his hand he extinguished all the flames. As his hand went to the cup the flame turned from blue to lilac. Then a pice of parchment shot out of the flames.

"The Durmstrang champion is...Viktor Krum!" Dumbledore shouted over the roaring crowd. Krum walked up to Dumbledore who shook his hand and told him to walk out of the Great Hall, using the door by the teachers table.

"The Beauxbatons champion is... Fleur delacour!" Dumbledore announced, the Beauxbatons students cheered as Fleur stood from the Ravenclaw table and walked towards Dumbledore. He told her the same thing and she walked off. 

Now it was time to find out the Hogwarts champion. I was really nerves because I did and didn't want Cedric to get picked. The blue flame turned lilac and a pice of parchment shot out, catching it Dumbledore shouted, "The Hogwarts champion is...Cedric Diggory!"

I cheered along with the rest of my house, secretly I was really upset but overall I was happy for my brother. 

Once Cedric had walked through the door at the end of the hall Dumbledore started to say, "And those are the three champions! Now if you-" But the blue flame turned lilac again and a scruffy pice of parchment shot out, fluttering to the floor Dumbledore caught it.

Dumbledore muttered something before shouting, "Harry Potter!" I looked over at the Gryffindor table to see Hermione pulling Harry up and pushing him towards the centre of the room. 

I was shocked, Harry was a good friend of mine and the thought of entering that awful competition was terrible.

"Hey Harry." I said, jogging to catch up with him, "Oh, hello Jessica." He replied, looking up from the ground, "Who are you feeling?" I asked, he fidgeted with the ends of his sleeves. "I'm really nervous." He answered, I hummed a reply. 

As we approached the docks our conversation turned to qidditch, "It's so annoying that theres no quidditch this year." Harry said, I nodded because I was a fan of quidditch, "I know! It's so-" I started but Harry cut me off, "There you are Neville!"

A boy who I had only seen in a few classes walked up to us, he had a mop of brown hair and green eyes. I did recognise him but I couldn't remember his name, "Sorry Jessica. This is Neville, Neville this is my friend Jessica." Harry introduced us, I smiled at him. It would be lying to say that he wasn't good looking. 

Then all of a sudden I did recognised him, "I remember you! Your Neville Longbottom, your the chap who is really good at herbology and rubbish at potions!" I exclaimed, Harry laughed at my out burst wile Neville blushed a deep red.

"Yea, that would be me." He replied, I blushed looking down, "Sorry, that was rude." I said, Neville chuckled, "No don't worry its fine." He replied, smiling.

"Anyway. Harry take this." He said, putting a green plant in Harrys out stretched hand, which I soon realised to be Gillyweed. 

"What is it exactly?" Harry asked, prodding the slimy plant with his index finger, "Its Gillyweed." Neville and I both said at the same time, causing both of us to turn a crimson red. "And what exactly is Gillyweed?" Harry asked, still staring at the plant.

The three of us sat in a boat and started to sail towards the stands in the middle of the lake, "Shall I answer this, or will you?" Neville asked, I blushed again, "Be my guessed" I replied, laughing. 

As Neville explained to Harry what Gillyweed was I looked down into the lake. It was a greyish blue, under the water I could just make out figures swimming at the bottom of the lake, merpeople. 

We arrived at the stands, Harry got out of the boat and walked towards the front where Cedric, Fleur and Krum were standing. Neville got out and offered me a hand, which I took. He helped me up and pulled me by my hand towards the front, yet agin causing me to blush.

We stood where we could get a good view, Neville was still holding my hand, "I'm just going over to see Cedric, I'll be back in a minute." I said, Neville smiled and nodded still holding my hand. "Neville, I'm going to need my hand back." I whispered, he quickly let go of my hand, blushing, "Sorry." He muttered, I laughed, "Its fine, I didn't mind it." I replied, Neville's face split into a wide grin. 

I walked over to where Cedric was standing, "Good luck Ced" I said, he turned around, smiling, "Thanks Jess, I'm gonna need it." He replied, pulling me into a hug, I hugged back. "Just be carful." I said, he pulled back nodding, "When am I not?" He asked, I rolled my eyes.

Once Cedric had dived in I walked back to Neville, we watch Harry put the Gillyweed into his mouth. It looked like he was choking, Professor Moody gave Harry a little nudge causing him to fall into the lake. 

"Oh no! I've killed Harry Potter!" He almost yelled, turning around and running his hands through his hair. At that moment Harry flew out of the water, doing a backflip, "Look Neville! He's fine!" I shouted, tapping Neville's arm, he turned around just in time to see Harry dive back into the water.

Neville and I cheered, he suddenly pulled me into a hug. I was slightly surprised, but huged back nun the less. Once he pulled away he blushed, "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me." He said, I blushed, "No, don't worry its fine."

For what remained of the hour Neville and I talked and laughed, joking around and just getting to know each other in general.

I shivered due to the cold wind, Neville took off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders, I looked up at him, "You don't need to give me your jacket." I said, he smiled, "I know, but I want to." He answered, I smiled and blushed, "Thanks." 

Once Harry had finery emerged from the lake, along with Ron and Fleur's little sister, Neville and I rushed over and pulled Harry out of the freezing water wile Seamus wrapped him in towels, "Well done, Harry!" I exclaimed, he smiled, "Thanks Jessica." He replied.

I Rushed over to Cedric and wrapped a towel around him, "Well done Ced." I said, giving him a hug, he hugged back, "Thanks Jess." He said.

As everyone was heading back Neville caught up to me, "Hey Jessica, can I ask you something?" He asked, I nodded and smiled, "Yea sure, whats up?" I asked, Neville fidgeted for a second.

"Would you like to go to the Yule Ball with me?" He asked, stuttering slightly at the end. I blushed and kissed his cheek, "I would love to go to the ball with you." I answered, smiling and blushing. 

"Great." He said, blushing and taking my hand in his as we walked back up to the castle.
