I Love Plants {a Neville Longbottom story}

Love potion

Half blood prince

I go back to the Gryffindor common rooms, Ginny told me yesterday that she wanted us to double date with her and Dean at three broomsticks. I agreed but I told her just for one drink and she was fine with that, all they ever did was snog anyway.

"Hey Serenity!" I hear a familiar voice as I enter the common room. I turn to see Seamus standing in front of me.
"Oh hi Seamus, how are you today?" I ask
"I'm great, woah you LOOK great!" He exclaims
"Thanks Seamus, don't flatter me." I say jokingly fanning myself. Then he starts taking a few steps closer to me and I back away slowly. What's his deal? Seamus doesn't talk to me very often and he is definitely acting odd.

I now have my back against the wall and he is standing over me with an arm blocking my way to leave. His hand against the wall next to my face

"Hey, you and Neville, you aren't like serious or anything are you?" He asks with an evil smirk.
"Actually we are, now if you don't mind." I say ducking under his arm in attempt to escape. Gets closer so I can't leave. A smile plastered on his face.
"Seamus please let me leave, I'm uncomfortable."

"SEAMUS WHAT THE HELL?"

I hear Neville exclaim. He is now sprinting towards Seamus and I with pure anger in his eyes. Seamus steps back and throws his hands up in defense. Neville grabs his collar. I scurry away from the wall and stand behind Neville.
"What's going on?" Neville asks
"I'm not sure, Seamus is acting weird." I say
"Cmon love, let's talk, or we can do other things." Seamus exclaims.

-BAM-

Neville's fist meets Seamus' face and knocks him out cold.
"Neville!" I yell. I drop to the ground to check on Seamus. He is knocked out but still wears that creepy grin on his face. His nose is definitely broken.
"Episkey" I say while waving my wand. His nose heals.
"Now lemme see your hand love." I say offering my hand to Neville. He looks down at his knuckles and just now notices they are red. I gently hold his hand in mine.
"Episkey." I say again, healing his hand.
"Thanks." He huffs. "What was that about?"

"Neville I already told you, I don't know. Seamus was acting weird and not like himself. You didn't have to punch him you know." I say.
He looks at the ground angry but also guilty.
"It was kinda hot though." I coo while leaning up to kiss his cheek.
"What's this?" I say leaning down to pick something up. "A note?"

To: Ron Ron
From: your Lavender

I look around the common room and spot what I'm looking for. A box of half eaten chocolates. I hold them up to show Neville.
"I have a feeling I know why Seamus was acting weird now." I exclaim.
"Oh... shit." Neville says. He is wide eyed looking down at Seamus.
"Bloody hell what happened!?!" Ron says walking in on the scene.
"Ron did you eat any of these?" I ask
"No? What are those?" Ron asks
"I think our own little Lavender Brown was hoping to get you to eat some love potion but poor Seamus here got to it first." I explain to him. Motioning towards Seamus whom is now slowly waking up.

Neville leans down to help him up.
"Neville?" Seamus croaks. "Where is my lovely Serenity, oh I love her, I love Serenity." Seamus says.
"I think lavender messed up the potion and Seamus just locked on the first person he saw after eating it." I shrug
"Well why was he knocked out?" Ron asks

"Oh Serenity!! There you are! You don't really want Neville do you? Cmon get a load of me babe!" Seamus exclaims.

"Oh." Ron says looking at Neville who is holding Seamus back with the most unpleasant angry look on his face.
"Ron, do you mind taking Seamus to the hospital wing?" I ask
"Why me?" Ron asks
Neville and I both glare at him and then the chocolates and then back to him.
"Fine!" Ron exclaims before dragging Seamus out the portrait door.

"Welp, that's was some start to our date." I laugh
"Yep, the worst start if you ask me." Neville says. "Did you actually think it was hot when I punched him?"
"Well I really don't want you punching any more people for the sake of me, but yes, it was very attractive." I exclaim.
"Cool." He says with a grin.

"Are we ready!?!" Ginny says as she jogs down the dorm room steps with Dean following close behind. "Oh chocolates! Can I have some?" Ginny says. I quickly jerk the candies away from her hands.
"Not unless you want Neville to punch you in the face." I joke.
"Cmon, let her have one, I have one more good swing in me!" Neville says with a wink.
Ginny and Dean look at us very confused and slightly concerned. Neville and I laugh it off but remember to explain ourselves on the walk to Hogsmeade.
