"Stop it!" You scream at Professor Moody. "Can't you see it's hurting him?! You heartless son of a bitch!" You stand up angrily.
Moody stops crucioing the spider and turns slowly to you. "Would you, Miss Y/L/N, like to tell us the final Unforgivable Curse?"
"They're called Unforgivable for a reason, Professor." You say sharply.
"Share with the class."
"Avada Kedavra." You say, refusing to look at Harry Potter. Everybody gasps, not expecting you of all people to have said those two words.
Mad Eye Moody kills the spider with a flash of green light. You see Neville jump, and then look at Harry. He gives you a nod and a slight smile.
When class is over, you run out to find Neville, almost falling down the stairs in your haste to turn around. You throw your arms around his neck, still angry with Moody.
Neville slowly hugs you back.
"It's okay, love. It's all right." You whisper.

On Christmas break, you go with Neville to St. Mungos. You don't say it out loud, but you aren't too eager to go. You know for a fact that you'll cry.
"Happy Christmas." The woman smiles at Neville, handing him something.
"Thank you." He smiles. "Happy Christmas."
As soon as you walk out the door, you start crying.
"What's wrong?" Neville asks uncertainly.
You throw your arms around him. "I'm so sorry, Neville."
"I love you." He says matter-of factly, reciprocating your hug.
"What?" You wipe at your eyes as you pull back to look at him.
"I love you." He repeats. You've never heard him sound so sure of anything.
"You do?" You furrow your eyebrows, unsure.
"I do. You don't have to love me back, but I love you." He holds out his arm to you. "Shall we?"
"Um, yeah. We shall. But Neville?" You ask, linking your arm through his.
"Yeah?"
"I love you too."
