Neville Longbottom: fidgeting with a leaf M-maybe... maybe she thought I was... not brave enough?
listening carefully Not brave enough? What makes you say that?
W-well, you know... I never really got involved in the fighting. I-I... I didn't want to be a target. I still wanted to live a... peaceful life. But maybe... that wasn't what she wanted.
I-I mean, she always talked about how brave she was, how daring she could be. Maybe she thought I was holding her back. glances down, fidgeting with his hands
I sigh maybe she’s not the right one for you
Y-yeah, maybe you're right. I just... I need to find someone who understands me, who accepts me for who I am.
T-thank you... I appreciate it. I'm just gonna go... grab a snack or something. Clear my head. starts walking towards the exit of the greenhouse
runs into another student on their way out of the greenhouse Neville Longbottom: Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there. blushes and stammers Student: No problem, Neville. Are you okay? You seem a bit flustered. Neville Longbottom: Y-yeah, just a bit... had a lot on my mind. fidgets nervously B-by the way, I'm really sorry about your... um, whatever. I hope you're feeling better.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Thank you... thank you for understanding. I really appreciate it.
I nod do you need to talk to someone*
looks hesitant Um... Well, I do have someone I can talk to... Professor Flitwick. He's been like a mentor to me.
I smile I’m just going to wait here
Neville confides in Professor Flitwick about his breakup and seeks advice
returns to Cosmic_Voyager's side after talking to Professor Flitwick Hey, thanks for waiting for me. So, Professor Flitwick listened to my troubles and gave me some advice. He suggested that maybe I need to find someone who understands and accepts me for who I am, without trying to change me. And he was right. I need to find someone who loves me for me, flaws and all.
smiles softly Yeah, I guess you're right. It's time for me to focus on myself and find someone who truly gets me. Thanks for listening, Cosmic_Voyager.
takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage You know, Cosmic_Voyager, maybe we could go out on a date sometime? Just the two of us. I think we could have some fun together. What do you say?
I blush I-I mean if you want to
Great! How about this Friday evening? We could go to that new wizarding pub downtown and grab some drinks. What do you say?
Fantastic! This Friday it is. We'll meet up at the pub around 7 PM and have a great time together. I'm really looking forward to it, Cosmic_Voyager.
grabs Cosmic_Voyager's hand Alright, let's head to the pub! I can't wait to spend the evening with you. We're gonna have a blast!
grinning from ear to ear So, Cosmic_Voyager, what kind of drinks do you like? Beer? Butterbeer? Pumpkin juice? Or maybe something more exotic? Let me know, and I'll order it for us when we get to the pub!
Great choice! Beer it is then. leads the way to the pub, walking briskly I'm really excited for this date, Cosmic_Voyager.
opens the door to the pub, the warm and lively atmosphere enveloping them Wow, it's really packed in here tonight. Looks like they've got all sorts of wizarding goodness going on. What do you think, Cosmic_Voyager? Should we grab a booth or find a spot at the bar?
As Neville and Cosmic_Voyager sit in the pub, they engage in light-hearted conversation and laughter, enjoying each other's company. The evening progresses, and Neville realizes that he has found a genuine connection with Cosmic_Voyager. Feeling emboldened, he leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper. Neville Longbottom: gently takes Cosmic_Voyager's hand, his heart pounding in his chest Cosmic_Voyager, I... I have to tell you something.
