Chapter 18 - Unexpected New Enemy

Your POV

I was sitting in between one of the pillars reading my favorite muggle book.

"Well if it isn't Y/n, competitor in the Triwizard Tournament" a boy said. I look up at him.

"Well if it isn't Cormac, who is talking to me for an unknown reason" I replied. He smirks.

"I just don't like to see a pretty girl such as yourself sitting alone" He leans against the wall.

"Well I hate to break it to you but, no one wants to be seen as friends with me after the other night." I said looking back down at my book. He gently lifts my chin up.

"I'll be your friend" He said and took my hand making me follow him.

He took me over to his friends.

"Everyone this is Y/n" He said. They all greeted me.

"Can you show us your powers?" one of the boys asked. I nodded and started showing them what I could do. They all seemed impressed and they weren't being dicks, at this present time. None of them mentioned the tournament, which I was glad about, I was sick of explaining myself to idiots who wouldn't listen. But that soon changed.

Over the past week and a half I hung out more with Cormac and his friends but today I was with Neville and honestly I missed spending time with him. I missed spending time with someone who cared about me and not just my powers. I rest my head in his lap while we were revising Herbology.

"It feels like I haven't seen you in forever" Neville suddenly comments.

I cupped his cheek gently.

"I know I'm sorry I keep getting dragged away by Cormac and his friends, its actually getting a little annoying. All they seem to care about is my powers" I frowned, Neville nods.

"Besides I prefer to hang out with you more than anyone." I smiled as a red tinge crept it's way onto Neville's cheeks.

Neville's POV

I kept glancing at her lips, they looked so soft. I wondered what flavor they would be. No stop thinking like that she doesn't like me back. I gently ran my fingers through her hair. Cormac McLaggen strut up to Y/n and I.

"Sup Nathan mind if I borrow Y/n for a minute. Thanks" He said grabbing her wrist and pulling her up. I frowned

"Hey, wait-" Y/n tried to speak.

"Do you have any new powers before we use your old ones" He said.

"Cormac, I'm taking a break today and no I don't have any new powers" Y/n said. She did look really tired I felt bad.

"Oh come on you just have to lift 10 people it's not even that many, you're acting like a weak bitch." He groaned. I growled angrily at him.

"It's not easy to use my powers and I'm drained from using them all week at this point I can't even make my hand invisible" She admitted. I stood up to try and help her.

"Can you just let her rest for a day or two?" I said. He looked me up and down which made me feel self conscious about my body, I didn't have muscles or a six pack. He chuckled.

"Noel, she has been hanging out with me for a while now probably to get away from you, you're a desperate loser. No hot girl in their right mind would go out with you, I mean look at you." What he said hurt, more so because he was right. Y/n reacted so quickly she punched McLaggen dead in the nose.

"First of all his name is Neville and second I love hanging around him. He actually cares about me not just about my powers." She growled defending me  again.

His nose was bleeding.

"You little freak. The only reason I took any interest in you was because I made a bet on how quick I could get in your pants. You're a pathetic and worthless bitch" He spits

I put my hand on her shoulder gently trying to get her away from him.

"Congratulations you lost" She said turning around to leave the situation. He grabbed her wrist.

"Don't fucking walk away from me". She put her hand out and flung him back a few meters. Her nose was bleeding and she looked unsteady on her feet, I quickly picked her up and carried her back to the common room.

"Thanks Nev you're the best." She said as I laid her down on the couch.

"You're so strong" I blushed at her comment. I cleaned her up and she thanked me sleepily. Godric she's so adorable I could kiss her... No stop that, she doesn't want me. She will never be into me, how could she be.

Fred's POV

I walked in to the Gryffindor common room with George and Harry to see Neville kneeling next to a semi-conscious Y/n nuzzling his chest. These two are adorkable. Neville looked up at us sadly which was concerning, we went over and asked what was wrong and Neville explained everything. George and I kind of went into a big brother mode.

"That asshole is going to regret that" We grumbled in sync. Y/n looked up slightly.

"Freddie Georgie, it's okay. I'm fine." She said as her nose bled more.

"Well at least let George and I prank him" I insisted, George instantly intrigued. Y/n nodded.

"Deal" She hummed.

"Yes" George and I said happily.

"Hey Y/n I know this probably isn't the best time to tell you this but, our first task is in a few days and it's dragons" Harry informs her.

"Seriously? What do we do?" She questions. Harry shook his head.

"I don't know, we will find out what we do on the day I guess. But you should get to work on some spells because you can't use your powers." Harry reminded her. She sighed and Neville tensed up pulling her closer. Godric just date already. I swear their obliviousnes will be the death of everyone.
