(Heavy editing)!A best friends to lovers story about an orphan taken in by the Malfoys and a nervous pure blood wizard that no one saw potential in. Happily ever after isn't as easy as these two young Hogwarts students thought, and with Voldemort re...
"Wow I didn't know you had it in you Neville." Dean exclaims. We told them how Neville had knocked out Seamus cold and Neville emphasized how much I thought it was hot. "I guess Serenity brings out the wolf in me." Neville says. "That's my man!" Dean yells while patting Neville's back "AROOOOOOOOO!" Both the boys howl.
"Ugh I think Dean brings out the wolf in him." I say while I make a fake barfing noise. Ginny and I laugh hysterically. "Boys are so weird." Ginny says "No doubt." I agree Ginny and I have become very close friends. I haven't been good at being friends with girls. The only people my age I knew growing up was Draco. and my best friend in Hogwarts was Neville.
Ginny was easy to get along with, she was a girl but she wasn't into dresses and makeup like most were. When we talked about boys we weren't drooling about them and we mostly talked about ourselves. She has told me she felt the same way about me, growing up the only daughter had to be exhausting.
Neville and Dean reach the Three Broomsticks before Ginny and I. They grab each door and open them for us girls to enter. "My lady." They both exclaim while waving their arms for us to enter. Ginny and I giggle.
"How about here?" I say motioning to a table that's open. "No way, too close to my brother's friends." Ginny says while pointing at Harry and Hermione, most likely waiting for Ron, with cringe across her face. "Hahah fine we can sit in the corner by the window!" I say pulling her by her wrist and running to sit down at the open table. "I'll get our drinks!" Neville yells out at us. Dean sits next to Ginny.
"So Serenity, what's it like dating Neville Longbottom?" Dean asks. "Perfect. Like he was my missing half. Like my life is more complete with him in it. My life IS complete with him in it. I'd be lost without him." I explain while resting my elbow on the table and my chin in my hand, looking longingly at Neville from across the pub. "Uhm. Woah, ok. I meant like good, weird, boring?" Dean says. Ginny slaps the back of his head and glares at him. "Would it kill you to have a romantic bone in your body?" Ginny yells at him. "Hahah Ginny it's ok, I'm not offended." I say with a smile. When Ginny nods and looks away I shoot a glare of all glares at Dean and he shivers under my stare. That boy better treat Ginny nice or I'll show him what Death eaters do to people they don't like.
"Here ya are!" Neville exclaims while setting down the four Butterbeers. I grab mine and sip it. "Thanks daddy!" I joke with a smile, holding my Butterbeer with both hands. Ginny and Dean look at me surprised but Neville is unfazed by my jokes. "Ren you are so messy c'mere" Neville says wiping my face with his sleeve. I giggle and take another sip getting more foam on my lip. Then I pull Neville's face close and kiss him all over, getting foam on his cheeks, forehead, and nose. "Come on Serenity, seriously!?! Such a child." He says as he dips his finger in his own Butterbeer and dabs the foam on my nose. "That's how a professional does it." He says with pride.
All four of us converse for a little while, but mostly Ginny, Neville, and I. I can't help but notice Dean is kinda bumming Ginny out the more Neville and I interact around them. He doesn't seem to be as loving or romantic as Neville, maybe there isn't much to their relationship past snogging. I decide it's probably time for us to part ways so I nudge Neville and nod my head towards the door.

"Well guys it's been fun but my double life as a Hogwarts student slash dragon tamer calls." I exclaim. "Yeah what she said." Neville says and we both laugh and scurry out the door before even saying any goodbyes.
"Man that was awkward, thank god you said something, I didn't wanna be rude." Neville says while rubbing the back of his head. "Was I rude?" I ask "Oh no I didn't mean it like that!" Neville exclaims while throwing his hands up in defense. "Rude like this?" I say as I push him into a pile of snow.
"Oh wow, now you are going to get it Ren! Revenge for the lake and this snow I tell ya!" Neville yells as I run away giggling like a maniac. Neville chases me, he is much taller and has longer legs than I do so he catches up rather quickly. He grabs me by my hips and spins me around, pulling me into a long tender kiss. "Wow that's the best revenge I've ever gotten." I say, smiling into his kisses. "I'd hope you'd say that." He says. Then he pulls the back of my jumper collar and shoves a handful of snow down it. "Blimey!!! That's freezing Nev!!" I exclaim. Jumping up and down to get all the snow out.
Neville is laughing hard at his revenge and the way I chicken danced afterwords. I slap his chest, but he grabs my wrist quickly and pulls me towards him again. "No more tricks I promise." He says. He wraps his arms around my middle and I wrap mine around his neck. We kiss again with so much love and passion. When we break apart I kiss his nose. "How about we go to Honeydukes? Then we can finish this in the common room?" Neville says with smirk. "Sounds perfect Nev." I say pecking his lips once more.
