(Sorry! Just so you know, this is a sad one! Come on, I couldn't have them all turning out good could I? No, this is not with another character who died. So there will not be two endings. Lets just say, it doesn't exactly end how the reader would want it...Sorry! Just felt like writing a sad one I guess!)










Y/n Lestrange.(can you already guess who else this story is about now?😂) that's my name. Well, nobody else knows that, except for Draco, Aunt Narcissa, and Uncle Lucius. 

Its my fifth year in Gryffindor. Yes, Gryffindor. I know what your thinking. A Lestrange? In Gryffindor? IMPOSSIBLE! Well, I am. Guess I'm more brave than cunning, eh? My best friend is none other than Neville Longbottom. I still feel bad about it. My parents tortured his to insanity. Though, he doesn't know that, it still keeps me up at night.

I, may or may not, have thought of him as more than a best friend...I just wish he felt the same. He probably doesn't. And now that mother is out of Azkaban, there's a possibly she can find out, to which both Neville and I would be dead meat.

"Hey Y/n, you ok?" Neville asked, noticing I had zoned out. 

"Yeah, just peachy." I replied sarcastically, making him smile.

"What's got you under this time?" 

"nothing, just bored I guess."

He thought for a second, then blushed. Hm, what was he thinking?

"well, um, Y/n, I was wondering, would you maybe want to go to hogsmade with me this weekend?" He asked me, blushing heavily.

Was-was he asking me out on a date? I sure hope he is!

"Of course I will Neville! But do you mean like-like a date?" I couldn't tell which was redder now, weasleys hair, or Neville's face.

"Ye-yeah, like a date." He murdered.

"Than that's still a yes!" I answered happily.

"Great!"

~~~time skip

I really couldn't be happier! After our date in hogsmade, Neville and I had started dating! He was super sweet, caring, amazing, basically everything you'd want in a guy!

At the time I had been happy, but I should've known all good things come to an end, I should've known.

~~~time skip to the Battle of the Ministry~~~

(Warning: I will not write this by the book, as the book makes poor Nev look terrible!)

This was the night everything went down. When I saw my mother, I knew I was doomed. Especially when she started talking.

"Neville deary, long time no see, how's mum and dad?" she cackeld evily. 

"Better now their bout to be avenged." He answered bravily.

Then she saw me. "Dear Y/n, why are you hanging out with this bunch? Come where you belong." 

"Y/n? What's she talking about?" Ginny asked me.

"Why, she hasn't told you? Don't you know her last name? Its Lestrange! Y/n Lestrange! As in my daughter!"

"Y-y/n?" I-is that dude?" Neville asked. But he wouldn't look at me.

"Yes." I answered easily. 

The memory of what I did still haunts me. I had known that if I hadn't gone with that monster, she'd kill all of us. So I went with her. That's my biggest life regret.

If you are wondering, I'm telling this story from my cell in Azkaban. The rest of the Deatheaters had fled, leaving me behind. I couldn't apparate, and all the fire places were blocked off. I had been caught. I've been in Azkaban sense. Neville visited me once, but it wasn't a happy visit. He came in angry. He yelled at me for lieing to him, using him. I hadn't needed to be told, I had already guessed, but Neville told me we were over. Said even if I somehow got out, he never wanted to see me again. I don't blame him.

You know, reality is a real cruel thing.











Hope you liked it! I know, I know! It wasn't a happy ever after! But I kinda liked the idea! I promise, I will make a happy one with you and Neville, but a different time! Next one, is going to be with Luna Lovegood! bye!
