PayBack
fter Christmas holidays I found out that Crabb and Millicent Bulstrode were dating. Thank Salazar Slytherin. I still had to re pay Neville someway. But I didn't know how. He had been so kind and respect full towards me. It was un-normal for me. The only guy in the Slytherin house who was kind to me was Draco Malfoy and that because our mothers have been friends since they were eleven. So Draco and I have been like siblings. I am one the few people who knows the real Draco and not that fake mask he puts up for everyone. Plus I know who he fancies.
I went to the library to do some studying when I found Neville there. Looking quiet nervous I decide to go up to him. "Hi Neville. Are you okay?" I ask him. Is like if I had woken him from a deep sleep. Because he just jumps in his chair. "Oh (Y/N). Is just you. Sorry I was deep in thought." Neville tells me in his sweet smile. "Anything I can do to help? You look a little lost." I tell him. "Umm if I tell you. You won't make fun of me will you?" he asks me. I shake my head and he nods.
Neville takes a deep breath and turns over to me. "I like this girl but every time I try to talk to her. I become a mess. I wanted ask her out to the Yule Ball but one of the Durmstrang boys asked her first." Neville says taking a breath as my heart breaks. I dig my nails into my palms. 'He likes another girl.' I just nod and push my tears back. "Who is she? Do I know her?" I ask him. He nods. "Yes. You have charms with her. Is Hannah Abbot." he says the last sentence in whisper as he turns around to look at her. 'Of course he likes a dam Hufflepuff.'
Then I get a heart breaking idea. "What if I help you. I am a girl and I can help you ask her out. Is only fare after you recued me from Crabb and made him back away from me." I say still digging my nails in my palms. I was hoping to ask him out but now I find out. I never had a chance. At least I will help him out. Get the girl he likes. "You will. I will really appreciate that. Thank you (Y/N)" Neville says giving me a kiss on the cheek that has given me electric chocks. "I am sorry. I just got excited. Did anyone see. Do you think Hannah saw me?" he asks looking around in terror. That he could had given a Slytherin a kiss. I shake my head and excuse myself.
I go out to the Great Lake and let my tears finally come out. I had just offered the guy I liked for a year to get his girl. Well I said I would re-pay him and I will even when it kills me inside. I send Neville a letter with one of the school owls. So no one will know who send it. Telling him where we can meet. Five minuets to five. Neville walks in to an empty classroom. Where I am already waiting for him. "Why are we meeting here?" Neville ask. "Wouldn't want ruin our reputation. By someone catching you with a Slytherin." I say my tone little colder. "I don't care that you are a Slytherin. You are actually quiet nice. Your the only one in your house. That does not look down at me." he says
I shake it off. Dam why are you so sweet. "Okay first thing is first we got get you talking to her. So will pretend to be Hannah. Okay." I tell him and he nods. "Hi Neville. How are you?" say as I fake my voice the best I can. "Hello (Y/N). I am good." he says and I shake my head. "No Neville I am not me right now. I am Hannah." I say as he nods. We stay in the classroom for another hour practicing. After few fail attempts. He finally got it and he was quiet nervous. Not looking up or anything. I had walk up to him and lift his head to meet mine. "Neville don't hide your eyes. They are the window to your soul. Look at her it also shows confidence." I tell him.
We sit on the floor for a while after practice. "Can I ask you something?" Neville asks after a long silence. I nod my head. "Why don't you have a boyfriend? You are very nice and from what I seen in class your quiet smart. You're also very beautiful." he says making my heart skip several beats. I get called many other things but not beautiful. I play with my robe looking away. "I like someone. But he likes another girl. She is way nicer and doesn't have the Slytherin reputation. He sees me as a friend. Plus other guys just want to fuck me." I say as he pulls his arm around me. I rest my head on his shoulder. "Well he is a fool. You deserve better then that (Y/N). It shouldn't matter what house you are in. Look at me I am in Gryffindor and I am not brave at all." Neville said making me look up at him.
"Yes you are. You were the first one stand up during dance practice. You stood up to Crabbe for me. You are very brave Neville." I say as our faces are inches apart. I can't help to lean into him and kiss him. As soon as my lips touch his I go off flying. Is perfect and for a second he kisses me back but then pulls away. "Sorry that was a mistake. Dam I shouldn't have kissed you. That was my first kiss too. I was hoping it would been with Hannah. I got go." he says getting his things and running out. I am left sitting in the cold floor. I just took his first real kiss and he gave me a discussed look. I stay there on the floor crying.
When I hear the door open and I see my two friends come in. Hermione and Ginny walk in and see me crying. "(Y/N) what is wrong? Why are you crying." Hermione says as she and Ginny sit down next to me. "Neville like Hannah Abbot. I just offered to help him and... and well I got carried away and I kissed him. Then he ran away like if I was a dementor." I say in tears Ginny just hold me. "So you actually do like Neville. Like you actually like him like him. Oh (Y/N) why would you help him. Get Abbot then." Ginny asks as Hermione gives me a weak smile. "She rather see him happy with a girl he likes then with her." Hermione says. I shake my head and we stay there till dinner. I tell them to go. I look a mess and do not want no one see me like this.
But an hour later their is a knock in my door. "Open the door (Y/L/N) or I will kick it down." I hear Draco say behind my door. I know he will do it. So I open the door as I wear my over size jumper. I stole from him. "Okay what is wrong. Each time you wear MY jumper something happened. I also brought you food. So speak of I will ask Snape for some truth serum." Draco says sitting in my bed. I tell him about the guy I like but not who he is. I have tried make him be nice to Neville with out raising suspicions. Draco just shakes his head. "Why won't you tell me who he is so I can go and beat him up. Is not Potter or one of the Weasleys is it?" Draco asks. I just shake my head. "Well just forget about him already. There more guys in this bloody school." he says and I smirk. "Can you forget about Hermione Granger? The day you stop liking her. I will move on. If nothing we got plan Z." I say as he looks at me with his sad eyes and nods.
Plan Z. Is what we promised each other last year when we confessed who we liked. We made a plan if we didn't get the person who we like to go on a date and give us a chance. And if we were not married by twenty-one. We would marry each other. We both wished and hope we wouldn't have to come to that. But it was better each other then someone that wanted us for our money and looks. But at this rate Plan Z might be happening. I dreamt of kissing Neville that night. How his sweet lips would be on mine and how he would hold me closer to him. Thing were about get heated when I was woken up.
WHO THE HELL IS WAKING ME UP!
