(y/n) - your name

(b/f/n) - best friend's name

---------------------------------

It was already their 5th year in Hogwarts and (y/n) couldn't believe that time was flying so fast. She was walking towards the great hall and couldn't help but notice some of the frightened looks received by the first years. Yes, she was a Slytherin and a very proud one too but sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder why many thought that if a person was sorted into that house, then they were truly bad. (y/n) sighed at this thought but shrugged it off when she came across a scene.

Crabbe, along with Goyle was bullying Neville but Draco was nowhere to be seen. She knew about Draco's problems this year and felt bad for the boy. Hell, she even knew about him fancying Granger since 3rd year but she put these thoughts aside and went up to the bullies.

"Crabbe, Goyle, why don't you pick on someone your own size? Besides, isn't crybaby Longbottom a bit too weak for you two?" she asked them. They laughed at what I had said but nevertheless, left Neville alone for now and left to the great hall. (y/n) frowned at them but turned to Neville and held her hand up for him to hold. Most who were close to (y/n) knew that if not Slytherin, the sorting hat would've obviously sorted her into Hufflepuff as she was both kind and loyal to her friends all the time.

She smiled at Neville when he stood up and said, "Sorry Neville, I had to say something or they wouldn't shut up."

 "That's okay (y/n). A-At least, you saved me from them," he squeaked. (y/n) laughed at how adorable Neville acted and they went to the great hall together. Neville and (y/n) were actually friends though no one knew about their friendship. Neville was the first person (y/n) met on the train and they had easily bonded over their love for Herbology.

Neville was okay about keeping their friendship a secret as he had known from the start that if (y/n)'s parents found out about their friendship, they would brutally torture her. (A/N: This is probably the part where all the readers find out about who her parents were. Yes, unfortunately (y/n) was the daughter to both death eaters, Rodolphus and Bellatrix Lestrange.)

In the beginning, Neville didn't know that this girl was the daughter of the 2 people who tortured hos parents, and believe me when he found out he received quite the shock. At first, he wondered if she was here to finish him off like her parents did to his but shrugged it off when he found put that (y/n) was nothing like her parents. Bothe Neville and (y/n) entered the Great Hall, went off on opposite directions, and sat down in their respective house tables but (y/n) couldn't help but wonder about how much Neville had changed starting from his first year.

She wondered deeper into her thoughts when someone from beside her said, "(y/n), I think you better stop starting at your crush because you haven't even realized that the feast has begun!" (y/n) shook her head and looked to her right and noticed it was only her best friend (b/f/n). (b/f/n) was the only person who had found out about (y/n) fancying Neville and surprisingly started shipping them both very hard. (y/n) blushed and ignored what she said and decided to talk to her as if nothing had happened.

----------------------------------

(y/n) was looking up at the stars from the Astronomy tower when she heard footsteps coming closer to her. She turned around, hoping it wasn't a professor and sighed when she only saw Neville standing there very shyly. "Oh, hi (y/n)," Neville spoke up.

"Hello Neville, what brings you up here?" (y/n) asked. "I just wanted to look at the stars, nothing much," he said taking a seat beside her. They looked at the stars quietly for a few minutes when Neville cleared his throat beside her.

"Look (y/n). I didn't come her to look at the stars. I actually came here to talk to you. (b/f/n) was the one who told me you were up here," he said quietly.

 "Ok... what did you want to tell me then, Neville?" (y/n) asked, her heart skipping a beat faster now.

Neville took a deep breath and said, "(y/n), I really... uh... l-like y-you. I know you might not like me back but I just couldn't keep it in me any longer and... you know what, I'll just shut-," (y/n) shut Neville down by pressing her lips to his. 

The kiss lasted a few seconds before (y/n) pulled away and said, "Neville, I like you too."

Neville who was as read as a tomato stayed silent for a few minutes, as if he was processing everything and finally said, "(y/n) will you be my g-girlfriend?"

 "Of course Neville!" she said and hugged him. Both of them then decided that it was getting late and went down the stairs, their hands tightly locked. 

Oh, what a shock it will be for everyone to see a Lestrange and a Longbottom together.
