swings
I awaken in a gryffindor room. I had a sleepover with george, fred, oliver, and dean in their dorm room. Those idiots forgot to wake me up for class, i’ll take a fucking sick day i guess. I honestly just dont want to go to my house. Slytherin, Draco malfoy and his wizard nazis are waiting because the entire school heard im trans. Luckily most others have been here for me. I walk out of the room and into the common room. I walk looking at my hands, i feel myself bump into a chest. Neville looks down at me and immediately apologizes. “Neville no need for that, it was my fault.” Wow i never noticed how tall he was. Cute.
He smiled and said “Yeah sorry- shit sorry- i mean wanna go get coffee?” I giggle and he chuckles awkwardly, “Yeah.” I grab his hand and he escorts me to my house. I get him in and suddenly draco glares at me. “Wow not only are you a “male” but you bring a squib into my common room. “Its not your fucking common room also dont call him that”
“Protecting your boyfriend?” Draco mocks. “Shut it malfoy.” Neville says as i walk into my room and change. I walk out to draco pushing neville, As i walk down Neville swiftly punches him square in the nose. He shakes his fist as it starts to glow red along with dracos face. “That was hot.” I say causing his face to turn bright red, almost as red as the blood gushing from the blonde twinks nose. “Lets get out of here” He whispers barely getting a word out since of how flustered he is.I grab my laptop and his hand, “Apparate”
We appear at a small coffee shop in hogsmeade. I grab his hand and run into the shop. I see blaise sitting calmly with ron. Rons face goes red as he noticies us, blaise winks and nods. Blaise used to be friends with draco and his cronies but he’s changed now. Neville smiles and pulls me to the table they are sitting at. Ron weakly smiles and i say “oops am i interrupting?” Neville winks at them and i ask “Who wants to go get the coffee?”
They all sheepishly look around, I whine, “Alright you wussies” I go up and order our coffees (and tea)
Once they arrive at our table neville goes to pay the waiter(ess) I push his hand “Love, i got it.” He says handing them the money. “Ouu love” Blaise knocks against my shoulder playfully. “Grayson isnt it?” Ron asks “Thats your name right?” I nod with a bright smile. “I’ll call you love for now” Blaise says giving me a wink so i stomp on his nasty little floor grabbers in his musty shoes. “Mione told me, i was a bit confused about the “they” part but harry explained.”
“I think they is a cool pronoun” neville says sipping on the hot tea he ordered. “Hell yeah it is FUCK GENDER CONFORMITY” Blaise yells accidentally ticking off the manager. “Hey ronnie boy, how about we show them the place” I say holding the hot coffee in my hands, the warmth of the cup against the fresh fallen snow on the ground. He nods so we all get up and walk to a small lake which by the side has a swingset of four. We run up and ron and blaise sit up on the swings. Neville takes his phone out and starts playing music.
The sweet old fashioned kind that makes you forget your troubles, makes you want to jump into their arms and dance with them forever. He walks over to me and very awkwardly holds out a hand. His hand was shaking as the snow started to fall, the way the music was and the way the snow fell on his pretty eyelashes, there was no way i wouldnt accept.
He spun me into his arms and we danced softly as the snow fell around us. I felt like a disney prince, his eyes glittered and his nose red from the winter air. I turn to see blaise and ron fake crying as they act like they are seeing me get married. “He’s all grown up” Ron says wiping away a snowflake making it look like its a teardrop. “Hands above the waist mister” Blaise says noticing that nevilles arm is wrapped tightly around my waist. “Chill it zabini.” I say laying my head against nevilles chest. His pale face goes red but he still holds me tightly in his arms. “When did you guys start dating?” Blaise asks. “We didnt.” We both respond insync. “Its only a matter of time.” Ron says drinking from the hot coffee left in the snow. “Its cold out here and we should probably get back to school.” Neville says.
We all agree and get back to school. Hermione waits outside. “Where the hell have you four been” “Dating-” Ron says before i kick him lightly. Her face goes from anger to excitement, “Oh really?! Gray, thats wonderful! You and Neville!”
“No Mione, Not yet- i mean-”
His face goes bright red. “Not yet? What does that mean Love?” He mumbles out. Ron, Blaise and Hermione sit and laugh as me and Nev become red babbling messes. Mrs. Mcgonagall came out and ushered us inside. “Grayson i heard what happened and i get why you didnt want to come to your classes, just know all of us support you. You kids may be excused from class today and today only. But any funny business and ill have all five of your heads before the day is done. Got it?”
“Yes ma’am” We all reply insync. “Good, now go have fun.” She says with a smile. We all walk into the school together. “I always knew she was my favorite” I say as she winks. “Anyways Not yet?” Neville says a hand over his mouth. We walk up to the gryffindor common room and wait for hermione to change. While we wait george comes up and sees me laying on neville and says “Wow babe cheating on me again” “Ew creep get away” Ron says holding up fists to his older brother.
Me and Neville laugh and hermione walks out of the common room wearing a navy blue sweater, black jeans, and a black jacket. “Ready to go?” She asks. “Yep why are you so dressed up??” Ron says. Blaise rolls his eyes. “I texted the muggle girl.” My eyes open wide “Moxie?” She nods her hand over her mouth. “What about krum?”
“Eh not even sure im into men, no offense ron.” She says. “Im not into women so twinsies” He says making a peace sign with his hand. We transport to hogsmeade and go to the swings. “Yaknow ron we cant both be the hot trans mlm friend,” I say wrapping and arm around his shoulder. “Good thing that im hotter than you” He says running and climbing a tree.
I stumble after him getting all the way to the top and sitting on a branch next to him. Suddenly feel my feet slip under me and i hit the ground. I start laughing uncontrollably as neville and hermione rush to my sides. “Im fine” I say as they look at my arms and legs to make sure i didnt break anything. Neville pulls a package of bandages out of his jacket pocket and holds my face up. My face gets red as he puts a bandaid on the small cut on my cheekbone. “All better?” He says holding out his hand for me to get up. He pulls me up “All better.”
