warnings: none just neville being adorable :3

summary: y/n and neville get partnered together for herbology and he's scared of her because she's a slytherin.

Y/n pov:

I roll my eyes boredly as I hear the sound of the 2 loudest slytherins entering the greenhouse, 10 minutes late for the lesson.

Professor Sprout gives an exasperated sigh as neither of them even acknowledge her when they come in, plopping themselves in the seats either side of me.

"Hi y/n" Blaise and Draco say in unison, their smirks mirroring each other.

I glare at them both, attempting to listen Professor Sprout as she tried to continue the lesson.

"Right, before we were so rudely interrupted, I was putting you in pairs, Mr Zabini and Mr Malfoy you 2 can work together, and that just leaves, ah Miss L/n and Mr Longbottom." Professor Sprout waits whilst we all move to sit by our partners.

I have no idea who Longbottom is, probably some random hufflepuff or something, so I wait where I'm sat until a nervous looking boy sits down in the seat to my right, where Blaise was just sitting.

"Longbottom is it? Right let's get this over with, what are we supposed to do?" I said turning to face him, taking in his appearance and noting that he wasn't half as bad looking as I thought he would be, in fact he was rather cute.

Neville tried to explain the task to me, but I tuned out his words, taking more time to scan over his face and laughing softly as he stumbled over his words, trying to hide his excitement over a bunch of plants.

"Hey Neville," I said interrupting his rambling, "it looks like this stuff is gonna take a while to finish, how about I come to your dorm later and we can work on it more then?" I smiled warmly at him and his face turned a fluorescent pink colour as he held my gaze for a few seconds before nodding and looking away shyly.

after class:

I followed behind draco and blaise, walking slightly slower than them as we made our way to the Great Hall. I ignored their chuckling from in front, as my gaze was drawn to the gryffindor table, where neville was sat by Seamus and Dean as they chatted animatedly and he made feeble attempts to join their conversation.

My gaze constantly drifted towards him all through dinner and I imagined how it would be if I was sat by him in that moment, how he was so passionate about his love of plants and his constant nervousness around me. I wished I was back in the herbology classroom again just so I could hear him speak to me again.

I shook my head slightly, scolding myself for the thoughts. I thought about my house, my friends, my family, neville would never like me like that. it would never work.

Draco nudged me slightly, signalling that they were finished and we all got up to head back to our common room. we walked for a few minutes before I made a lame excuse about forgetting my wand in the great hall, and I slipped away to head to the gryffindor Common room.

Everyone stared as I waited awkwardly outside the common room, waiting for someone to let me in. Eventually, I saw 3 people make their way up the stares, louder than everyone else, and I recognised them as the golden trio. I rolled my eyes as they glanced over me curiously.

"Well, are you going to let me in or what?"  I questioned Harry, glaring them all down as they begrudgingly opened the door.

The common room was packed full of chattering students, some of them glanced over me but most of them ignored me as I walked in the direction of the boys common room.

I reached neviles room and I paused outside the door, suddenly feeling apprehensive, but I shook it off and forced myself to knock shyly on the door.

a/n: not sure if I should make a part 2 to this, possibly with smut idk! but let me know <3
