Neville's POV
We were all going down to Hogsmeade today, Harry, Ron and I were talking while we waited for Y/n and Hermione to come down so we could go.
"So how is your crush going?" Ron asked nudging my shoulder. I blush.
"I-I don't think she likes me back" I sighed. Harry pats my shoulder.
"Of course she likes you back." He said.
Hermione and Y/n came down. Y/n looked amazing.
I couldn't stop staring.
"Are you okay there Nev?" She asked.
I nodded frantically and she giggled locking arms with me as we head off to Hogsmeade. Crabbe and Goyle came around the corner and smirked. I kept my head down as we walked past them but they stood in front of us.
"Don't you look like a snack, how about you and me go somewhere private" Goyle licks his lips.
"I don't think so" Y/n said and pulled me to leave.
"Mmmhmmm you really were hiding a lot under your robes" Crabbe smirked.
"S-Shut up" I mumbled.
"What was that loser?" He said.
"I said shut up" I said firmly.
"And what if I don't" He said standing over me. Y/n kicked Goyle in the balls and punched Crabbe in the face hard. She made us both invisible before pulling me to run with her. Soon we were at Hogsmeade. I didn't look at her.
"Hey what's wrong?" She asked.
"I-I just let them say those things. I'm so sorry. Anyone else would have been brave enough to fight them for saying that." I mumbled looking down. She cupped my cheeks.
"Hey, you are so brave Neville. Anyone who is willing to stand up to bullies despite being scared and the possibility of having a fight is unbelievably brave." She said looking me in the eyes.
"B-But I didn't fight for you, I'm not a courageous Gryffindor-" She silenced me with a finger over my lips.
"Sometimes courage isn't a roar Neville. And if anyone deserves to be a Gryffindor, its you" She smiled and kissed my cheek. I blushed at her action.
Your POV
I would be lying if I said what Crabbe and Goyle said didn't worry me.
I did in fact notice the slight tinge of pink that crept it's way up Neville's neck and filled his cheeks. He is so adorable...shit No I can't think that about my best friend.
I followed him around, Neville is the sweetest man I've ever met, he rambled on about Herbology and kept apologising for it. He is just so pure.
Neville got me the chocolate frog I wanted since I couldn't reach. He giggled when I tried to jump to get it.
"What card did you get?" Neville asked.
"Oh I got Newt Scammander. He's hot" I laughed at my statement.
"That's a really rare card, lots of card collectors can never find him" Neville sighed.
"Do you collect them?" I asked curiously. He nods.
"But I don't have him" He said sadly.
I take his hand and place the card in it.
"Consider it a thank you gift for looking after me" I said.
"B-But it's yours, I can't just take it" He babbles.
"Yes you can and you will. I don't collect them so it's no use to me" I said, he hugged me instantly and I giggled. We went to different shops looking at various things.
We sat down with the Golden trio to have a butter beer. There was a band that was meant to perform but the group looked distressed. They tried to play something but it didn't work out and a bunch of Slytherins started laughing and yelling out mean things.
"Their singer skipped out on them" Hermione said. I felt bad for them and stood up walking up on stage and grabbing a Mic.
"What are you doing?" one of the boys asked.
"I will sing for your group since I'm assuming you won't get paid unless you perform well" I replied.
"Yes but you don't know the lyrics" another said worried.
"I'll improvise, now play something" I smiled and they agreed starting to play a tune.
I sang lyrics that I thought would match the backingtrack and it sounded pretty good. Everyone clapped I bowed and started to walk back to my seat but the guitarist caught my arm before I got to far.
"Wait can you sing with us again?" He asked.
"Oh umm" I wasn't sure what to do.
"Please just one more song" Soon he managed to get the crowd to chant to get me back on stage. I gave in and got back up on the stage.
"Anyone can sing that, how about you make the next one interesting" Blaise yelled out.
The crowd wants interesting they will get interesting.
The band starts another tune and I sing to it.
Everyone cheers and I got a few wolf whistles as well.
"Was that interesting enough for you" I said. Blaise scoffs and the group of Slytherins left.
I took my seat next to Neville.
"We didn't know you could sing" Ron smiled.
Neville's POV
"I did" I took a sip of my drink. Y/n smiled and held my hand.
The guitarist from the band came up to us.
"Hey Y/n, my names Jeremy." He flicks his hair. He is really handsome.
"Hi" Y/n replied sweetly.
"We should catch up sometime" He flashes his perfect straight teeth.
"We should" She smiled softly.
"I'll owl you" He brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and walked off.
"Well that was thrilling but we should head back now" Hermione suggested.
We started walking back. Cho ran up to us.
"Y/n did you score a date with the hot guitarist?" She asked looking for gossip.
"Not a date. We just might hang out again" She explained.
"Well you should hurry up and get a date before another girl does" Cho said and ran off to her friends to gossip.
"Hey are you okay?" Harry asked me.
"How could she like me when there are better looking guys like that, that want to be her boyfriend. I can't compete with him. I mean why would she want me anyway" I let my insecurities spill.
"What you need is some coaching" Harry said. I was confused.
"I'll show you later" He said.
