How Can You Tell? (Neville Longbottom)

Chapter One: On My Way!

"Get up!" I heard my Gran yell. "You'll be late to the train station Mary."

"Okay!" I responded loudly. I got out from under my dark purple blankets, and stumbled to the bathroom. I grabbed my tooth brush and pushed my straight black hair out of the way and brushed my teeth. Then I brushed my knotted hair until it was smooth. I walked out of the bathroom and got in my closet and put on a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt and my favorite pair of converse.

Today was the day that I was returning to Hogwarts for my fifth year. I couldn't wait to see my best mates. Hermione and Neville wrote many letters to me during summer break and they were so excited to see me.

I ran down the stairs so my gran didn't kill me. She had breakfast set out on the kitchen table, which today breakfast was pancakes and bacon. My favorite.

"Thanks for breakfast gran." I said pleasantly.

" You're welcome Mary. Eat fast so we can leave." she said sternly.

"Pushing to get rid of me already, eh?" I replied slyly.

" Oh, you know it. When you leave, my house is clean, and peaceful." Gran said jokingly. That ended the conversation. I ate quietly and quickly. I didn't want to be late.

As all of the other students piled on to the train, I hugged my gran and told her I loved her and that I would see her at Christmas. She kissed my forehead, and sent me on my way.

I got onto the train and looked for my mates. As I reached the back, I saw Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Neville all sitting in the last cabin. They greeted me with hugs and I sat down between Neville and the wall. As I sat, Neville's hand grazed my butt and we both turned a bright pink. I always liked Neville. I thought he was incredibly cute and I loved his utter shyness. He was adorable. I just always wondered if he liked me back. I always figured not, but I never lost hope that maybe one day he'll feel the same about me.

-Neville's POV-

I was waiting for Mary to come into the cabin, I really missed her and wanted to reunite with her. I always liked Mary. She was beautiful. Her smile was stunning and her eyes, if I looked into them, I would drown in her deep blue eyes. She was shy just like me. We both stuttered when we were nervous. She was perfect. But she would never like me. I'm pathetically buck toothed and I was to ugly to ever be loved by her.

All of the sudden, the cabin door opened and There was Mary. Ron, Harry, Hermione and I greeted her with a hug. She then came and sat next to me. but as soon as she sat my hand grazed her butt. I could feel my face furiously turn pink, Mary's face was the same. I was so embarrassed, I thought I would die. I stopped blushing and we all chatted until we finally got to Hogwarts.
