Could've Been Ours {Neville Longbottom}

Chapter 1: The Cute Boy at Diagon Alley

It was a warm morning, July 7th, 1985. The tall man wearing black robes rushed through Diagon Alley in hopes that his daughter could just choose a present already.

The little girl holding his left hand was eagerly looking around at the wonderful place. At the time she had her slightly wavy hair down to her shoulders, and bangs that reached her greyish blue eyes. She had a heart-shaped face and a small button nose. You see, her 6th birthday was in three days and Severus still had no idea what she wanted, so in hopes of figuring it out, he had brought her to Diagon Alley. Although the man with black hair was starting to get annoyed due to the little girl taking her time.

But just at that moment, her eyes caught a glimpse of a boy, but not just any boy. He was cute, he had brown eyes and brown hair, with a round cute face. He was holding the hand of a lady wearing an emerald green colored dress and a red bag, in his other hand he held a box with her favorite candy, chocolate frogs.

But just as she saw him, she felt a tug on her arm. She turned to look at her father to see that they were at Madam Malkin's Robes for all Occasions the outside looked quite pretty and not as broken down as the Leaky Cauldron. By the time she turned around the boy and the lady had walked passed them. The black-haired man came to the conclusion that buying his daughter clothes would be better than toys, so there they were walking around the shop looking at new clothes and robes.

"Father?" "yes?" Severus replied looking down at his daughter. 
"Do you happen to know the name of the boy we passed before walking in here?" the man in the black robes was confused, why did his daughter, Eleena care?  "I'm sorry, I don't think I recall anyone we passed. Can you describe who you are talking about?"
She gave a small sigh and said, "well there was a lady with him, she has a red bag, and the boy she was wearing a nice sweater." Severus recognized that description, " Oh, you mean the Longbottom's."
His daughter looked up at him with a confused face, "Why haven't I met him? I mean I've met Parkinson, Crabbe, Goyle, and Greengrass. Why haven't I met him?"
"Well, why do you care so much about meeting him?"
With a small sigh, the little girl replied, " I don't know, just never mind" she turned around and picked out the dress robes she thought were the prettiest.

Severus noticed how the little girls' mood had changed, he gave a small sneer to his side but didn't question it, after ordering the dress robes his daughter wanted, he took her hand and took her to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor in hopes to cheer up the girl.

That night before going to bed Eleena wondered about the boy she saw. Longbottom, her father called him. She remembered the knit sweater he wore and the way he was cutely looking up at his grandmother.

And that was when Eleena first saw Neville and didn't realize that this small attraction to the boy would grow to something more.
