she's not you - Neville Longbottom

The Yule ball as coming up and you were so excited to go however you didn't really have a date yet. You were hoping Neville would ask you to go with him but that didn't seem to be an option , he seemed to avoid the topic of a date so you figured he just didn't want to talk to you about it or go with you , so instead you decided to find him a date so he could go and have fun. You walked into the Griffindor common room and saw Ginny sat at the small table in the corner with Hermione , perfect , surly one of them would go with Neville. You walked over and sat next to them as they greeted you happily , they were already talking about the Yule ball , well to be honest , who wasn't?

"Do you two have dates yet?" You asked slyly as you wiggled your eyebrows at them , they both laughed and Hermione said yes , Victor Krum has asked her , you and Ginny teased her about her date and she rolled her eyes while smiling and blushing.

"What about you Gin?" She kind of slouched in her chair as she shook her head with a sigh , lightbulb.
"What if you went with Neville? He hasn't got a date either and he's such a sweet guy , you-" she instantly agreed and went to go find him to ask.
That was easier than you thought it would be , Hermione excused herself as she had homework to do , you nodded and sat contently at the small table before feeling a pair of bigger than yours hands cover your eyes and say guess who.
"Fred Weasley" he scoffed and removed his hands before sitting in the chair next to you and pretended to look offended and angry.
"I'm not Fred , I'm George. Can't believe you'd say that" you scoffed and folded your arms over your chest and smirked.
"Okay okay fine it is Fred , damn your good" we both laughed before he cleared his throat and looked at me slightly nervous.

"Heard you haven't got a date , I was wondering if you would like to go with me to the ball?" Your cheeks turned a slight shade of pink and you were surprised he didn't have a date yet. You were embarrassed that he asked you because he must have felt bad for you.
"Oh uh sure , yeah that would be really nice , thanks Fred" he looked at me weirdly before he laughed.

"I'm not asking you because you don't have a date , I'm asking you because I want to go with you , I wanted the ask you the moment the announcement was made" you blushed darkly as you heard this , Fred genuinely wanted to go with you to the ball , you of course agreed still as he tried to walk away all cool , in the corner of your eye you saw him do a little victory dance.

Time skip to the ball

You and Ginny walked into the common room from your dorms and everyone stared at you , the boys all had massive grins on until Ginny walked up to Neville , who didn't look too happy. The linked arms and left the common room , the rest of the room looks confused and even concerned as Neville left and you were still here , you were about to speak before Dean did.
"Your not going with Neville? But I thought you two..." He trailed off when he saw your extremely confused expression.

"Neville was avoiding the subject with me so I figured he didn't want to go with me , so I set him up with Ginny" the boys all gave eachother concerned and sad looks.
"So who are you going with?" You were about to speak again before you felt a long arm snake around your waist , you looked up and saw Fred grinning ear to ear at you.
"You look absolutely stunning y/n" you blushed and laughed.
"You don't look to bad either Weasley , definitely better than Ron" everyone laughed while Ron groaned at his rags- robes.... definitely robes.
You both walked out of the common room and into the ballroom while everyone stared at you and said you'd be such a cute couple. Neville had been avoiding you the whole night but looked like he was having fun whenever you two made eyecontact , you ended up leaving early because your feet hurt , Fred had kissed your cheek goodnight before you left and Neville saw , not long after you got into the common room Neville stormed passed you sniffling , you asked him what was wrong but he ignored you and went to his dorm , you were the only two in the common room and dorms so you followed him , you gently knocked on the open dorm door before walking in and seeing Neville sat by the window with his head in his hands crying.

"Nev , what's wrong? I thought you had a good time" he scoffed slightly and looked up at you with tear filled eyes.
"Yeah like you'd know , you were so caught up with Fred you didn't even notice me" you walked up to him and sat infront front of him with your legs crossed on the windowsill , both your backs touching the wall and your knees touching , not much space to spare.
"I did notice you , it's hard not too.....you looked really handsome tonight" his mouth gaped slightly as he was lost for words.
"Why are you crying Nev? Please tell me the truth , did Ginny do something wrong?" He shook his head instantly with panic and assured me Ginny did nothing wrong.
"I had a great time with her but.....she's not you" he looks down at his hands rested in his lap as he fumbled with his fingers nervously.
You gently grabbed his hand and held his chin with your free hand so he'd look at you.
"So ask me next time , I wanted to go with you" he blushed a deep shade of red before wordlessly nodding , he seemed lost in your eyes as you two comfortably held eye contact for a moment before you kissed his cheek and stood up , walking towards the door before turning around.
"Goodnight Nev" he smiled and said goodnight as you left for your dorm , both of you didn't stop grinning the whole time until you fell asleep.
