The proper way to end a date
Harry and Neville are in similar positions, their both in gryffindor, both born in july, both 14, and both horrible at potions.
Another thing they have in common is unrealistic expectations. Nevilles’ gran wants him to marry a smart Pureblood girl and carry on the line of the noble and most ancient house of Longbottom.
everyone expects harry to be perfect and just like his parents, who he hasn't seen in 13 years. Hes supposed to be strong, and smart and fearless and in love with a red head just like James Potter, they expect him to win the triwizard tournament but they also hate him for entering himself, and on top of that Its like everyone expects him to marry Ginny Weasley.
The problem with both these scenarios is that Neville and Harry like each other.
For the yule ball Harry and Neville don’t take each other, instead take female dates. Harry just before the last minute asks Pamad Patil a ravenclaw, to be his date; Ron finds out harry has a date and realises that he also needs a date and rudely but successfully asks Pavari, Padmas’ identical twin. Neville asks Ginny, and is shes more than happy to go as third years don’t have their own invitations to the ball.
Neville dances with Ginny and Harry sits with mopping with Ron. throughout the dance Ginny keeps maneuvering Neville around to be able to keep her eyes on harry, eventually Neville gets tired of it and he drops Ginnys’ arms, saying,”if you want to dance with someone else so bad, than just do it”. She huffs grumpy over being caught, as she starts to walk over to where harry and her brother were sitting, Neville walks in the opposite direction.
Harry and Ron are having just as much luck with their dates as Neville is after Ron in a fit of jealously told the twins that he’d much rather be with someone else than sitting at a table with them. After that the twins went and joined the crowed. He and Ron sit quietly, harry watching as his date is whisked off into dancing with someone else.
Hermione joins the boys looking flustered, “Viktors just gone to get us some drinks”, Ron throws a fit hearing Hermione call “the enemy” by his first name. She storms off to meet Viktor halfway. “Shes mental” Ron says miffed, with the face of a man who knows hes lost the argument. Harry sighs and gets up, walking towards the doors.
When Ginny locates her brother and her future boyfriend, they are already walking off. She sighs and turns back to Neville but when she looks over her shoulder she can't find him. She looks among the crowd and finds him, a couple moves out of her way and she sees loony Lovegood taking his hand as she guides her to dance. She huffs again and walks towards the doors ready to go to sleep.
Neville spends the last few hours of the ball swaying softly to the music with Luna's head on his shoulder as they talk.
Later he walks up to the dorms quietly and everyone is already in their beds, with the curtains closed giving the illusion of sleeping teens. Neville knows better, he walks over to Harry's bed and whispers the password to his locked curtains, harry is in his bed sketching flowers out of his herbology textbook for homework due the next day. Neville turns towards his own bed and throws whats in his hands before turning back and offering Harry his hand.
Harry puts his books and pencil down before shuffling out of his blankets and taking Nevilles hand. They walk out into the open space and dance to the sound of the fire cracking and snow falling outside the tower window.

“Lilian! This argument is over and so are we” a man yelled at his wife as he packed all his things into a suitcase “NO, it's not! You're not leaving” the man's wife yelled, standing in the way of the door, blocking his only exit with her small but strong body, “yes I am! You can't stop me Lilian i'm doing this for the greater good!” (AN: “greater good, i am your wife; I am the greatest good you're ever gonna get”)
“What about peter! What about our son?”, she cried but her husband didn’t give in, “move” he told her but when she didn’t move he grabbed her by the waist and threw her over his shoulder, “James! No! NO!” he threw her onto the bed and walked out the door she was blocking and then through the hallway, he slammed the front door as he walked out, the echoing sound woke up Peter who started crying along with his mother.
Lilian and James met 5 years ago, Lilian was 15 and James was a year older than her, they fell into instant love and five years later they were getting married and Lillian Roseann became Lilian Roseann-Miller when she took her husband's name. At 20 they were married and 21 they were bringing home baby Peter, Peter had his mothers brown hair and green eyes and his fathers body and face shape. The first 2 months were bliss, Peter was a quiet baby as long as he had attention, but now James was leaving his family for war. Leaving Lilian a single mother, only a year after her wedding.
