(Neville Longbottom X Reader) Hogwarts Valentine Pt2

When you said you wanted to go to your dorm to spend time in bed… it was only a half truth. Yes, you wanted to go back in your dorm, and yes part of that reason was to get away from all the loving couples. But you had another reason as well. You were doing your makeup to make yourself look better for your secret admirer, just in case they were a boy.

You sighed a bit, of course today it wasn’t coming out quite right… But you looked rather nice. You checked the time and gasped.

It was already 1:50!

You quickly cleaned up and ran outside, remembering to grab the note before leaving. You ran all the way to the lake…

*Nevilles POV*

Neville had been in deep thought since the conversation at the breakfast table. [y/n] didn’t like all the shows of affection that were going on in the castle today, the snogging, the holding hands and such…

And , most importantly to him, [y/n] had said it hurt her to see it. This puzzled him, and he wasn’t sure how to take that bit of information.

But, besides that, he had pondered not even showing up. Luna should never had talked me into this, he thought several times. But… either way would be disastrous in his mind.

Scenario one: He showed up. [y/n] didn’t like him in this way and laughed at how mushy he was or yelled at him for leading her on with the secret admirer thing… Of course, ruining the wonderful friendship between the two of you in the process.

He gulped, he didn’t like that idea. At ALL! It petrified him! And there was another scenario…

Scenario two. He didn’t show up. Perhaps watched from afar? No, he couldn’t do that. He wouldn’t be able to bear to see the look of hurt and disappointment on [y/n]s face. It would simply shatter his heart. But even if he didn’t watch, he would still hear about it. [y/] was his best friend, and he of course would have to be the shoulder for her to cry on… after all, even though she didn’t know it, he would be the reason for her tears…

He gulped. No, he couldn’t possibly do that either, as cowardly as he felt, he had a loyalty to his friends. He could never do that, especially not to her…

So, after this internal battle, he headed to the lake, and set up his little plan. Once it was finished he sighed. Gosh this was a corny idea… what ever made him think of it? Oh yeah Luna…

He checked his watch. 1:59 . Neville looked up and looked around. Maybe she wouldn’t show… she had seemed so interested about who it was during breakfast he had been so sure she would come, just to see who on earth it was… He looked down at his watch again.

2:00

He looked up again. Maybe she was late?

No matter what, he knew he would wait there for her.

*Your POV again*

You ran and ran and just as you came to a skidding halt to the entrance to the courtyard, you checked your watch.

1:59! Oh no! you hoped whoever it was would wait!

You headed out to the courtyard, breathing heavily, your chest going up and down with the fresh, crisp air around you from your run. You had no idea how many stairs cases you had bounded, and halls you had skidded down, or how many portraits had yelled at you.

You headed towards the lake, trying to get there in time to make it, but also trying to catch your breath and smooth your clothes all at the same time.

You soon saw the lake.

You took another step and heard a crunch. You frowned, that’s funny it wasn’t fall there shouldn’t be dead leaves. You checked and saw a trail of rose petals. Ooooh that’s what must have crunched! You followed the trail. You looked ahead and the trail and saw a boy, oh good, with a bunch of rose petals in the shape of a heart.

You checked the time, it was 2:04. Well… not punctual but on time. Once you got closer, you gasped a bit. Was that… no it couldn’t be.

It was Neville! Right in the middle of the heart!

You slowed down and smiled a bit, thinking it had to be him. You couldn’t believe it. It was your crush. He was also holding a bouquet of roses, and a teddy bear. You walked up close to him and held up the note.

“I ah… got your um note?” it sounded more like a question then statement and you blushed. Neville blushed a bit and nodded. You grinned at this but then was shocked at what you saw him do.

Neville went down on one knee. You looked at him a bit like he was crazy, well you really liked the guy but you weren’t ready for that!

He held the teddy bear up to you and looked up at you nervously “Will you, [y/n], [y/l/n], go out w-w-with me, tonight?” he asked softly and nervously.

You watched him and a wide grin spread across your face. You took the bear and held it close.

“Of course I will, Neville” you say softly and bent down and kissed his cheek.

*Nevilles POV*

He got down on one knee. If he didn’t do it right then, he wouldn’t have the courage to. He took a deep breath and looked up at her beautiful [e/c] eyes, which were staring at him like he was crazy.

Maybe he was, crazy in love that is. And fueled by Luna’s prodding to go along with this crazy thing. He held the bear up towards her.

“Will you, [y/n], [y/l/n], go out w-w-with me, tonight?” he asked nervously, sure her answer would be a rejection. He held his breath, hoping she would be gentle…

“Of course I will, Neville” she said. He blinked, did he he-….. his eyes widened and his jaw dropped a little.

She kissed his cheek. She kissed his cheek! SHE kissed HIS cheek! She KISSED his cheek!

He grinned like a wild goon and slowly got up. He held out the roses to her.

“these are for you” he said. She smiled and took them.

“thank you Neville” she said softly. Neville blushed a bit and took her hand a bit awkwardly, his doubts coming back again about what she had said earlier.

“Are you…. Ok? I don’t want to offend you or anything….” He mumbled nervously, not wanting to hurt her.

*your POV*

you looked at him confused. But then realized what he meant and laughed, his face getting a bit white at that.

“oh Neville, you know why I said it hurt to see all the couples and such?” you asked. Neville shook his head. Of course he didn’t. “Because I like you, Neville. A lot. And it hurt to see others all in love, when I didn’t think you liked me like that….” You trailed off and looked around at all the rose petals, the bear, and the bouquet. “I was clearly wrong” you mumbled and took a big whiff of the flowers.

He looked at you a bit in shock. “you like me…?” he asked softly. You smiled at him and nodded.

“Of course Neville!” you said and squeezed his hand a bit reassuringly. He smiled and started to lead you off.

“great, I cant wait to go out” he said happily. You grinned.

“where are we going?” you asked curiously. He grinned at you.

“it’s a surprise” he said. You pouted a bit but shrugged, accepting it. You waited this long after all, you could wait a bit more.

*small time skip*

You and Neville got to a small restaurant in Hogsmeade, it wasn’t a well known place, and it was kind of off the main road, with very few people in it. He lead you to a table and you looked around. It seemed like a very nice place, and it was all decorated for Valentines day. A few things changed colors here and there, ribbons flew around the ceiling, and there was even a fake cupid around.

Neville pulled your chair out for you. You smiled a bit at this and sat down.

“thank you Neville” you said. Neville grinned and sat down across from you.

“your welcome” he said a bit shyly.

A waitior came over and handed you both menus. You both looked them over, they had some very nice Valentines day specials. You got worried.

“Neville… are you sure you can afford this?” you asked softly. He blushed and nodded.

“My gran sent me some money for tonight…” he said a bit bashfully. You smiled a bit at that and nodded.

“Alright Neville, as long as your sure” you said softly. He nodded a bit and set his menu down. You found something as well and set yours down as well.

Soon your orders were taken. It was a bit awkward at first, but soon you both were laughing and talking and having a great time together! It was a wonderful date, you both ate your food and talked until it was really late.

Neville got nervous and paid quickly and got up.

“w-we um should go… if we don’t soon… people might um get the wrong idea” he mumbled. You blushed a bit and nodded and got up.

“We should” you agreed softly and Neville took your hand and lead you back to Hogwarts.

You got back and had to sneak your way back to the Gryffindor common room. Once there, you both stood a bit awkwardly.

“I ah… il guess il see you tomorrow Neville” you said a bit softly. Neville nodded but was still holding your hand.

“umm… [y/n]….” He mumbled nervously. You looked at him curiously.

“What is it Neville?” you asked softly “you can tell me anything” you said.

“Well… would you um.. be my g-girlfriend?” he asked, looking down and not at you. You grinned widely at that and kissed his cheek.

“I would be honored to Neville” you said softly. He grinned up at you and slowly, nervously, leaned in.

You got kind of nervous, you had never kissed someone before, but you couldn’t think of anyone better then Neville to be your first.

Your lips met… you could have sworn you saw fireworks explode in front of your eyes.

It only lasted a moment before the nervous Neville pulled away with a sheepish, nervous look.

“sorry” he mumbled. You shook your head.

“No need” you said and kissed him on the lips again softly. After a moment of shock he kissed you back. After a bit you both pulled away and Neville grinned widely.

“I… il see you tomorrow [y/n]!” he said excitedly and he ran up to the boys dorm. You grinned and went up to your own girls dorm.
