you thought he knew. you thought he knew and never acknowledged it because he didn't feel the same way. it killed you that you were waiting for something and knew that nothing was coming.
he thought that he wasn't your type. so he kept it hidden.
everyone else thought that you were dating. so it came as a shock when dean and seamus hear
"i don't think she even likes me like that."
"what?! we thought you were dating and just never said anything!"
"no way! she's amazing, brilliant actually. and she's uncommonly kind, and on top of that she's gorgeous!" he ran a hand through his hair
"neville you're an actual idiot." his friends shook their heads. "she's in love with you! she looks at you with actual hearts in her eyes. seriously, i've seen it."
"oh my godric. are you serious?" he looked up at them
"like a heart attack." dean sighed at his friends ability to be so smart yet so stupid
"well, what do i do?" neville raised his voice slightly
"just- you should tell her." seamus suggested
"when? how? i need to plan that stuff out!"
"right now, actually. like right now, right now."
"okay.. i can do that. i have to go." he got up, grabbing his papers and booking it out of the library.
he has never cared so little about the weird looks he got scrambling through the halls to get to the black lake.
"y/n!" you whipped your head around to find neville longbottom, your bestfriend of four years, sprinting straight towards you.
"neville? what are you- oh my godric!" you yelped as he finally got to you and picked you up off the ground enough to spin you around. "what are you doing?" she shouted and laughed
as he put you down, he straight into your eyes stammering and stuttering
"slow down! what are you even saying?" she smiled, trying not to blush
"i'm in love with you. you're so wonderful, and you're so special to me and i just needed to tell you before i got to nervous about it." he said trying to catch his breath
"nev! shh!" she covered his mouth before he could keep talking so she could process what he was saying. his eyes widened, this was it. he's lost you. well, that's what he thought. but after about five seconds you uncovered his mouth and smiled before pulling him into a kiss
