Your POV
I giggle as I skipped around the corner linking arms with Neville.
"What are you giggling about?" He asked.
"Rita Skeeter can never catch me for an interview. I don't want her asking me personal questions and making up lies about me" I said after seeing what she did with Harry. I sat down with Neville for breakfast.
"Y/n you need to eat more, I've noticed you don't eat much and sometimes you don't eat anything all day" Neville said really worried. I sighed.
"Can we not talk about this here?" I asked feeling really self-conscious. How did Neville notice no one else did.
A newspaper was spread around the Great Hall all the students were buried in the gossip.
"Y/n you should probably read this" Hermione said. I looked at her with confusion written all over my face.
She gave me the paper.
"Young love how convenient? See page 4 to find out why our new Triwizard champion could be dating an almost Squib." My blood was boiling as I flipped to the page.
"It seems there are a few reason this love could have blossomed. Y/n seems to have a thing for outcasts. Perhaps Neville Longbottom is paying her or even taking advantage of Y/n in her emotional state. This touch starved teenager's family neglected her for years, no wonder she jumped at the opportunity to feel loved even if his looks aren't up to standard." My eyes were glowing red.
I took my robe off and threw it on the seat jumping up.
"Wait where are you going?" Hermione yelled. I kept storming out.
"To give Rita a piece of my mind" I yelled back. Hermione, Harry, Ron and Neville looked at each other before quickly getting up and running after me. I found Rita pretty quick with my friends on my tail to stop me.
"You, you evil twisted lying little bitch" I growled. She smirked.
"I see you've read my latest. Not a fan?" She said in a mocking voice.
"You are a liar, your whole career is built on lies" My eyes didn't once falter my anger raging through my body. No one says anything like that about Neville and gets away with it. I felt Neville hold my arm trying to get me to calm down.
"It's not my fault you and your boyfriend here have some juicy information that needed to be shared" Rita was really pushing it.
"Well you aren't the only one that did your research. From what I've been told it's illegal to be an unregistered Animagus, wouldn't be too good for your career if someone important were to find out you're a beetle" I mimicked her smirk. She looked shocked.
"Come on Y/n, she's not worth it" Neville said keeping me grounded. I nod and go to walk away with him.
"That's right run along with your pathetic squib boyfriend." She made the mistake of opening her mouth. I turned back and punched her as hard as I could in the nose. She screamed holding her definitely broken nose.
"You little freak" She gasped and scurried away.
Neville's POV
I watched in shock.
"Y/n" I took her hands in mine, her eyes flickered back to normal.
"No one calls my boyfriend a squib" She said softly. I couldn't believe how much she cared about me. I cupped her cheek and kissed her gently. My lips moved together with hers. I placed my hands on her hips and pulled her closer. It was only when I heard Harry and Ron clear their throats I pulled away blushing a crimson red. Y/n blushed.
"Thanks for trying to keep me calm, I'm a bit of a hothead" She mumbled.
"A bit? You call that a bit?" Ron said.
"Y-Yeah I guess I should work on that?" She said looking down. I brush a piece of hair out of her face.
"Hey, since we have a free first would you like to meditate?" I asked her hoping to help her anyway I could. She nods and followed me to my room, I put a candle in front of us. She tensed up.
"Y/n its okay you won't hurt youself again." I reassured her.
"It's not me I'm worried about hurting" She replied. I frowned.
"You won't hurt me." I told her.
"Zuko said if I keep messing with fire I'll hurt you on accident, I never want to hurt you Nev" She was so worried about it, I put the candle back and kissed her forehead.
She leant into me relaxing. I got some of the lavender Y/n was talking about, it smelt really nice. Y/n smiled and smelt the plant.
"I really like this scent, it's so calming" She said. I smiled watching her.
She took a deep breath and exhaled a few times before settling, her eyes shut gently. I watched her meditate like she's been doing it for years. She seemed so calm and she was glowing. Wait she's actually glowing.
"Y/n" I tried to alert her but she didn't open her eyes.
"Y/n, Y/n please wake up" I started to panic a little and shook her shoulder, which caused her to snap out of her sleep like state. She looked at me softly smiling.
"I feel so much calmer and light like my anger has just dissipated. That was strangely easy" She stated happily.
I was more glad she was okay, but that didn't explain the glowing.
"Y/n, your whole body was glowing. It was like the meditation triggered something" I said. She only smiled.
"Yes, Zuko was right the meditation worked and I feel like I don't have any pent up anger anymore. I feel relaxed" She said and hopped up stretching. She didn't seem like herself, she was different in a hard to explain kind of way. If I'm being honest, I'm worried about her. I want her to be herself. I know I sound selfish but it's the truth.
