Neville Longbottom

@rikanazy   

You and your boyfriend, Neville, stood outside your house.

"You ready?" You asked, and Neville shook his head nervously. "Not really."

You and Neville have been dating for about six months, yet he still hasn't met your family. After the war, the two of you needed time to grieve the loss of your friends. Two months later, the two of you began to grieve less, and smile more. You both held on to the happy memories of lost loved ones instead of replaying their funeral in your minds. Because things had finally begun to lighten up, you decided that you both were ready for Neville to finally meet your family.

"Neville, you killed Nagini. How scary can this be?" You kissed his cheek and he smiled back weakly.

You knocked on the door, and instantly heard your mum yell, "They're here! They're here!" Not a moment later, the door swung open and your mother's wide smile and open arms were before you.

"Hi mum." You said with a smile, hugging her tightly. She let go of you, her smile never wavering. "And this is Neville?" Your boyfriend nodded shyly with a smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Y/L/N." He stuck his hand out, but your mother engulfed him in a hug. "I'm so glad to finally meet you."

Neville shot you a wide smile. Maybe this wouldn't be that bad!

"Y/N/N!!"

Neville looked up to see someone tumbling down the stairs.

"Y/B/N!" You exclaimed excitedly. You ran to the staircase and hugged him.

"Nev! This is my older brother Y/B/N." Neville smiled politely and held his hand out. "Nice to meet you." Your brother smiled and pulled him into a hug. "If you hurt my sister you're dead." He whispered, before letting go and helping your mom in the kitchen. Neville stood there in shock. 

"You ok, Neville?" He turned to you and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Just peachy." He said nervously, before making his way to the dining room for dinner.

As the dinner went on, Neville got even more and more nervous. Neville was fine with your mother, she was kind and welcoming. With your brother, however, not so much. Neville was scared to show any form of PDA. He tried to wrap his arm around you, but got a death glare that could kill Voldemort instantly.

Dinner seemed to be going fine, but you could sense the stress radiating off your boyfriend. You laid a hand on his knee under the table and sent him a comforting smile. "You ok?" You mouthed. He nodded, but you could tell he wasn't.

"I'm so sorry, mum, but could Neville and I be excused for a moment?" She nodded, and as you stood up, you caught your brother glare at Neville, who slightly shrunk back.

"Nev, what's up?" You asked as you pulled him into the hallway. Your boyfriend bit his lip. "I'm just nervous." He mumbled. "I don't think you brother likes me all that much..." You gave him a small smile and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I doubt he hates you, baby."

Neville shrugged sadly. "I dunno, babe. Just being near you, and he gives me a death glare." You sighed and kissed his cheek. "He's just overprotective, my love. You're my first boyfriend, he just doesn't want me to get hurt." Neville nodded slightly, but you could tell he wasn't completely convinced. "I'll talk to him." You whispered, and before he could protest, you walked back into the kitchen.

Your mother and brother were cleaning the table, and you tugged on Y/B/N's sleeve. "Can I talk to you, please?" He nodded and set the plates down. "Sure thing, whats up?"

"You know I can take care of myself, right?" Y/B/N gave you a confused look. "What do you me-"

"You don't need to be so overprotective of me." You said, placing your hands on your hips. "Neville is a great guy. I wouldn't have been with him for so long if he wasn't." He glanced behind you to see Neville helping your mum wash the dishes. "I-"

"Y/B/N." You interrupted. "Just... Just give him a chance. Please? For me?" He looked into your pleading eyes and sighed, knowing he reached defeat. "Fine, fine." He mumbled. "But if he hurts you-"

"Which he won't."

"But if he does, he's dead."

You rolled your eyes and laughed. "It's never going to happen."

And with that, you skipped over to your boyfriend. Y/B/N would learn soon that you were right, Neville would never hurt you.

Oops, this was rough. I've been so busy lately, sorry this wasn't all that great!
