(This is not soft Neville)

3rd person pov

Y/n and Neville were best friends.

Y/n brought out the best in Neville, and Neville brought out the best in
Y/n.

The duo was inseparable.

That is, until this year.

Now you see, Neville is a Gryffindor, while y/n is a Slytherin.

It was 6th year, so it was around the time of the battle of Hogwarts.
Everyone was freaking out, especially y/n.
She was going to be forced to become a death eater. She never wanted any of this.
She thought that she would be placed in Ravenclaw, just like her sister Luna. Or in Hufflepuff, just like her cousin Newt.
But no, she was placed in Slytherin, and nobody knew why.

Slytherins were smart, cunning, mischievous.
Y/n was only smart.

She had the common sense and street smarts like a Ravenclaw. She also had the kindness and the heart of a Hufflepuff. But also the bravery of a Gryffindor.

****************
It was a day before the battle. Everyone knew what was coming. It was just the fact that nobody knew how to say it out loud.

Regular pov

You paced around your room, your hands tugging at your hair.

You looked down at the dark mark on your arm.

"No no no.....why me?!" You ask yourself.

There was a soft knock at the door.

You sigh before walking over to it.
"Who is it?" You ask.

"It's Neville....I-I brought you something from the garden" he mumbles as you open the door.

You open the door as a smile plasters across Neville's face.

He pulls a bouquet of Lillies and Daisies out from behind his back, handing them to you with a blush on his face.

"Thank you Neville-" you begin to reach for the flowers, but you're soon cut off by Neville's gasps.

You quickly realise what he was gasping at, as you pull your sleeve down.

"N-Neville I-" you begin.

"So it's true? All the Slytherins-" he whispers, tears forming in his eyes.

You sigh and nod as he begins to back towards the door.

"No...Neville please-" you begin.

He shakes his head and backs away more.

"Y/n....I can't" he mumbles as he drops the flowers onto the floor.
Tears begin to stream down your face as you try to reach out for him.

"I didn't have a choice" you plead as he nods.

"I know....and I'm sorry. But you're on the other side now-" he begins as you shake your head.

"No....no I'm not. I swear!" You plead.

"It's right there y/n!" He yells, grabbing your arm and pointing to the marking.

More tears stream down your face as you pull your arm away.

"I'm sorry-" he whispers before running out the door.

Not everything has a happy ending
