Your POV
It was the day of the Yule Ball and I became unbelievably nervous as the day went on, to the point where I felt like throwing up. What if I trip and make a fool of myself, everyone will be watching. I thought to myself as I sit on the floor with an ice pack to try to cool down and ease my nerves.
Soon it was time to get ready for the Ball. Hermione and Ginny offered to do my hair and makeup to which I accepted.
"You'll be okay Y/n you won't embarrass yourself, besides it's only a few minutes until everyone joins in and then they will all be focused on their own dancing" Ginny reassured me. I nodded but still couldn't stop worrying about it.
Soon I had my hair and makeup done beautifully, I stared at my appearance admiring the work Hermione and Ginny had done for me.
"Thank you so much I love what you've done" I said. They both smile.
"It'll go great with your dress, not to mention make Neville want you even more" They said as I blush thinking of the many ways Neville might react.
I stay with the girls until they finished getting ready then got into my dress. I loved how I looked right now and I really hoped Neville would like it too. The girls wanted their own fairytale entrances so I stood back until the were with their dates. I took a deep breath and turned the corner then walked down the stairs. I saw Neville's jaw drop soon as he saw me.
Neville's POV
Godric she looks stunning. She stood in front of me gorgeous as ever as I blushed bright red trying to keep my thoughts together.
"Y-Y/n-" I stuttered nervously.
"Hush" She smiled placing a delicate finger to my lips.
"You look so handsome Neville" She continued. I blushed an impossible shade of red.
"Thanks, you look...wow" I couldn't find the words she was just breath taking. She smiled softly. I put a fresh white corsarge on her small wrist.
"This is so beautiful, thank you Nev" She said as I took her hand in mine and walked with her to the hall. I couldn't take my eyes off her, I was captivated by her beauty. We stood in front of everyone ready to start the dance and let's just say I was extremely nervous about putting my hand on her waist. She took my hand and guided it to her waist, I blushed looking away.
"S-Sorry" I mumbled.
"Don't be sorry Nev" She smiled gently placing her hand on my shoulder and the music started. We danced happily and everything was going well.
Another slow song was played and we could dance however we wanted. I only knew the dance we practiced and I completely overlooked the possibility of a slow dance. I looked around to see what everyone else was doing to have some kind of direction but every guy had their hands on their dates ass.
Am I supposed to do that with Y/n, does she want me too. But what if she doesn't and I upset her or give her the wrong idea. She'll think I'm trying to rush her, wait am I rushing her already. I sighed and decided to hold her just above her waist. She puts her hands on my shoulders and moves closer to me making my heart pound in my chest.
Your POV
Neville is such a gentleman and he's so sweet. I pressed closer to him swaying with the music. I noticed his blush but didn't read into it, too engaged in the magical night to be observant. After the event finished we went for a walk around talking about random things. I stopped, looking out one of the windows at the moon as it shined casting its glare on my sparkly dress. I caught Neville staring, I smiled and pulled him closer.
"You are amazing, Nev. I care about you a lot" I said playing with his hair.
Neville smiled softly down at me.
"I care about you too" He said glancing down at my lips quickly. He looked hesitant when he leant in. I closed the gap between our lips closing my eyes.
We made out with each other for a while, he was still timid when he kissed me. I gently pulled his hair and bit his bottom lip softly so he would feel more confident knowing I wanted to kiss him. He let out a small moan immediately pulling away with a crimson blush. He avoided my gaze.
"I-I'm sorry I..." He stuttered and backed away before running off.
"Neville, wait" I tried but he was already gone. I leant against the wall sliding to the ground. I'm such an idiot of course that would make him nervous, why did I think that pushing him would be a good thing urgh. Soon I was pulled from my thoughts by Pansy and her posey.
"Well that was quite a show, freak" She sneered. I rolled my eyes ignoring her.
"What, no smart remark" She smirked. I just stood up to walk away, but I was pulled back by her tag alongs grabbing my arms to hold me in place. Honestly I couldn't care less what she does, all I cared about was that I made Neville run away from me. I just turned to her with a blank expression. She punched me in the stomach then the face a few times.
"That's for messing up my beautiful face" She said. Pug face more like.
She had at me for a few minutes. I had blood sliding down my cut cheek, split lip and nose. But I did nothing, at first I just didn't care and now I had no energy. She went to leave.
"Heh, you missed a spot" I said.
"It speaks" Her friends giggle.
"You're such a freak and you wonder why your parents hate you." Pansy struts away. When I gathered the strength I made my way back to the common room, quickly getting changed and going to bed before anyone noticed anything was wrong.
