"I Knew It!"
"I knew it!" Callum blurted, still grinning as if he had just won a big bag of galleons.
"Knew what?" Magnilda said, crossing her arms. A blush was visible on her cheeks.
"That you liiiike Longbottom!" Callum said in a sing song voice, crossing his arms as well to mimick his older sister. Neville stood there, looking from Magnilda to her brother, whilst blushing madly. He honestly didn't know what to say. He felt nervous in the presence of Callum, even though he was younger than Magnilda. But even so, he was still Magnilda's brother, and seeing some boy from another House kiss her and touch her probably made him feel protective over her. Why hadn't he decided to think before acting? He could have stopped her and told her they shouldn't had been doing it. But then again, Neville didn't want her to think he was too bent on rules or anything.
"Shut up, Callum!" Magnilda growled. She rarely called him Callum, but when she was furious with him, she did. "It wasn't even your business to come snooping around in the library to spy on us!" she added.
"I wasn't snooping around, Nilda, and yes, it is my business! You're my sister!"
"I don't care! That gives you no right to-"
"He's right." Neville had interrupted quietly. The angry Ravenclaw looked toward him, her face softening and looking perplexed. "What?"
"He's right." the Gryffindor had repeated as he looked at her, feeling nervous. "You're his sister, and. . . I shouldn't have kissed you without his permission. I know you're older than him, but imagine how he must feel when some boy is just kissing his sister."
Magnilda was stunned into silence. She never knew Neville was so. . . . well. . . . careful and respectful. It made her like the Gryffindor even more.
Now she hates me. . . .Neville thought to himself miserably. "I-er-. . . . I'm sorry, Callum." he had said. And with that, he quikcly left, not giving another glance to see what Magnilda's expression looked like now. The 6th year had watched him go, still silent.
