I'd Gladly Get Detention For You

Your POV

Neville was next to me as we were brewing a shrinking potion in Professor Snape's class. I noticed Neville was nervous and shaking. I knew better than to talk in Snape's class so I reached down and took Neville's hand in mine smiling softly at him.

Snape was busy with Malfoy and Harry bickering about something. I looked at Neville's potion and saw it was orange instead of bright acid green like mine. I saw Snape walking over to Neville. I just observe my cauldron. Neville started to shake more.

Snape showed the class that the potion was orange.

"Tell me boy, does anything penetrate that thick skull of yours? What do I have to do to make you understand, Longbottom? At the end of the lesson we will feed a few drops of this potion to your toad and see what happens. Perhaps that will encourage you to do it properly" He said loudly to embarrass Neville. I heard Slytherins laughing and snickering about him.

Neville was pink and tears filled his eyes. This asshole was actually going to poison someone's pet. Neville would be so heartbroken if anything happened to Trevor. I raised my hand.

"What is it, Y/l/n" Snape said.

"That's not Neville's potion, it's mine. I was just observing his potion to see what I did wrong." I pointed at the potion in front of me.  "I'll have to listen more carefully to you next time." I continued. Snape looked annoyed.

"Five points from Gryffindor and detention for not owning up to your mistake earlier, Y/l/n"

I swapped places with Neville and gave him my notes so he could see what he was meant to do. I happily fixed his potion as he watched. Soon the class was dismissed and I walked with Neville out of the classroom.

Neville hugged me tightly with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Thank you so much" He mumbled

"Hey it's okay, why are you crying Nev?" I asked wiping his tears.

"I-I just... I can't lose Trevor and you saved him from my stupid mistake and you got punished for it" He whimpered.

"Nev I couldn't let him poison Trevor and he was trying to embarrass you, I mean what kind of heartless person does that. Plus I care about you, I know how sad you would be if Trevor was poisoned. I would gladly get detention if it meant I was helping you" I smiled and kissed his cheek before petting Trevor with my forefinger.

Neville's POV

I was rushing around trying to decide what I should wear to the Black Lake with Y/n. I finally decide to wear black trousers and a white and blue striped sweater. I gathered the books and set off. Harry, Ron and Seamus pass me going up to the room.

"Is that what you're wearing on your date with Y/n" Seamus asked pointing at my clothes. I looked at my clothes feeling self-conscious.

"Yeah why? And it's not a date" I sighed.

"Come back up you're changing whatever that is. And it is a date" Ron pushes me back up to our room.

"What am I supposed to wear?" I frown.

Ron started going through my clothes.

"How many nerdy sweaters do you need?" Ron complained. I scratched the back of my neck embarrassed that I didn't have the same clothes as normal boys.

"Okay jeans and long sleeved shirt, put this on then you can go" Ron and Seamus threw the clothes at me and I went to get changed before heading down to the lake.

Your POV

I hung upside down from a old tree right next to the water. It was peaceful as I waited for Neville. He was a little late but I didn't mind, I sang to myself softly.

"Woah" Neville said softly. I gasped and jumped down from the tree.

"I-I uh you weren't meant to hear that" I blushed.

"For what it's worth, you have a beautiful voice" Neville takes my hand in his gently. I smiled looking down at our hands locked together.

"It's worth a lot. Thanks Nev" I grinned.

I set up a blanket for us to lay on. We were side by side reading and talking about various plants that interested us.

"Y/n I didn't see you after your detention yesterday, what happened?" Neville asked softly.

"Oh Snape just made me help him with a few things and it gave me a real bad headache after so I just went to my room for the rest of the day." I replied.

"I'm sorry again" Neville said frowning, he looked like a sad puppy.

"Hey I chose to do it" I smiled.

I looked up to where I walked down and saw a girl that I've seen talk to Harry a few times.

"Nev, who is that girl?" I asked softly.

"That's Luna Lovegood, I haven't actually met her but she seems nice" He said putting his book down.

Luna walked up to us.

"Hi Y/n, I'm Luna Lovegood" She said softly.

"Hi Luna" I said awkwardly, I couldn't exactly introduce myself since she already knew who I was. She turned to Neville.

"Sorry but I don't know who you are" She said in her soft high pitched voice.

"I'm no body." Neville said. I looked at him with my mouth open. I flicked his shoulder gently.

"If you keep talking bad about yourself I'm going to physically fight you. This is Neville he has a cute and friendly personality and he is amazing at Herbology" I smiled. Neville blushed bright red.

"That's nice. I'm glad I found you both here, Draco Malfoy said he was going to get pay back, something about calling him a child" Luna said studying my face to see if I knew what she was talking about.

"I didn't exactly say that, it was more of an indirect statement." I replied proudly.

"Well he didn't sound happy so be careful" She warned.

"Thanks for letting us know" I reach down and hold Neville's hand. Luna nods and walked back the way she came.
