Hey this is the third part of my writing campaign. I'm happy with how this one came out. Harry/Neville.
If i think a story has the ability to continue i will continue writing it. If i don't then it will be either short or a one shot.
I really hope for reviews to know i'm doing a good job.
*~*~*~*~*~*~Enjoy*~*~*~*~*~*~
Number 4 Privet Drive was suddenly alight with activity. Yelling and shouting is heard before the door opens and Harry stomps his way out dragging his trunk and cage.
They had finally driven the boy out.
He couldn’t take it anymore.
As Harry walked he let his anger slip out of him. Dudley had come home from a friends house pissed off because his friend admitted to being gay and that set Dudley off. Harry, stupidly, tried to defend the boy saying that being gay was nothing bad. Dudley lost it and tried to pummel Harry into the floor when Harry caught him in the groin and got away. Faster than Dudley could blink Harry had his wand out pointing it at Dudley.
Vernon and Petunia decided at that moment to join the conversation telling Harry to put that “thing” away. Harry told them that he was done that he wasn’t going to be their punching bag anymore and he ran up the stairs, quickly packing up all of his things.
He didn’t care what anyone said, he was NOT going to return to the Dursley’s ever again.
He continued to walk down the sidewalk not really noticing where he was going just knowing he had to get as far away from that house as he could. The sound of a door opening snapped Harry out of his stupor and made him realize that he had walked a full mile and a half without a thought. He sighed heavily and continued to walk just pulling his trunk behind him and holding the cage tight. Hedwig had flown to the Burrow the night before with a letter to Ron and Hermione to keep her for awhile so the Dursleys wouldn’t bitch about the noise she made.
As Harry got further and further away, his anger was disappating making him just keep going. He knew he had to find a place to stay for the night or get in contact with someone in the Order. He knew someone there would give him a place to stay. For several hours Harry just walked.
He saw that the sun was starting to peak over the horizon making Harry sway slightly on his feet. He hadn’t slept well in months and walking all night was not helping the situation. He needed sleep but when he slept he had nothing but nightmares. Now there was a possibility that he would be walking all day just to find one of the order members. As he was passing a set of vine covered houses he saw an older woman step out of the house before turning to look at him. She raised an eyebrow at Harry as he stepped closer made her step over to him.
“Are you alright sweetie?” She asked looking at him very concerned.
Harry looked at her with a small smile. “Yea… just looking for a place to stay… I didn’t want to stay with my realitives so I just left.” He didn’t know why he felt the need to say that to a perfect stranger but it felt somewhat good to let someone know.
The woman studied him for a moment before smiling. “Come on in sweetie… you can stay with us. Come on.” She gently opened the small gate and led Harry into the house. The house was much larger on the inside than it looked. There were bookshelves carved into the walls and tables built from the floor up forming a rather strong but unmoving table. It looked like this woman lived here for decades and every square foot was decorated with something creative.
“So… who else lives here with you?” Harry asked as the woman took the cage and set it on a table in the living room.
“My grandson. He’s asleep right now. I’ll wake him up and have him help you with your bag.” The woman said walking towards the stairs.
“No you don’t have to do that… I can take my trunk up there…” Harry said as the woman turned to him.
“No it’s ok. He needs to get up anyway.” She walks up the stairs leaving Harry in the dining room by his trunk. After a few minutes he heard footsteps come down the stairs before Neville Longbottom stepped onto the floor running a hand through his hair.
Harry looked up in shock. “Neville?”
Neville looked up and blinked then smiled. “Harry! What are you doing here?” He walked over and wrapped his arms around him tight.
Harry hugged him tight before realizing that Neville was shirtless and in only boxers making Harry blush red. “I left the Dursley’s and this woman brought me in saying I could stay here.”
“Oh that’s my gram. She must have recognized you from the pictures I’ve shown her.” Neville said letting go looking down at him.
It always surprised Harry how much Neville changed over the years. The sweet almost cuddly Neville turned into a tall rather good looking young man. “Well… that makes sense why she is letting me stay…”
Neville chuckles. “Come on… I have an extra bed in my room.” He picks up the trunk and easily carries it up the stairs. Harry bit his lip and slowly walked up the stairs following the taller boy. At the top of the stairs there was a small hall that led to a hall bathroom and two bedrooms. The smaller room had two twin beds one that looked like Neville had been sleeping in and one that the woman was covering with some blankets. “Hey Gram. I guess you know Harry now.” Neville said setting Harry’s trunk by his own.
The woman turned and smiled. “Yes I knew it was you the second I could see your features. Very handsome young man. But you need a few good fattening meals. You’re much too small.” She said with a warm smile.
Harry chuckled softly and looked at himself. He was always really tiny for his age but almost 17 years of abuse from the Durlsey’s had almost permantly disformed his weight. “I just don’t eat much.”
Gram nodded slowly. “Neville said you had a bad home life. Don’t worry sweetie… everything will get better. Now I’m going to go to the market real quick. Neville why don’t you make up some breakfast for everyone while I’m gone.”
Neville nodded as he took over putting the blankets onto the bed. Gram walked out of the room as Neville turned to Harry. “Here… this is your bed. Sorry about the shape of the room.” He rest his hand on the slated ceiling that was angled down so that the roof above Harry’s new bed was by the lower part of it.
“It’s ok… it’s better than the cupboard under the stairs.” Harry tried to joke before a look of horror appeared on Neville’s face. “You didn’t hear about that did you?”
“No… I thought you were just… Merlin Harry they kept you in a cupboard? How long?” Neville asked stepping over.
“Up until I started Hogwarts so almost 11 years. It’s kinda why I’m so short…” Harry said patting his own head.
Neville looked at him before closing the space between them hugging him tight resting his head on top of Harry’s head. Harry blushed bright red before slowly hugging him back. As the two stood there Harry breathed in the earthy scent that wafted off his friend. Harry always had a small crush on Neville mostly because even though the boy had his own demons the boy was still incredibly sweet and kind to anyone. He never did anything to act on those feelings because he didn’t think Neville was even interested in guys.
“Don’t worry Harry… we will take care of you…” Neville said into Harry’s hair before slowly letting go.
“It’s ok Neville… I just am happier to be away from that house. Come on… I’m starving I haven’t eaten since yesturday morning.” Harry said as Neville nodded quickly. He opened a drawer then pulled out a t-shirt and threw it on before leading Harry back downstairs. Neville pulled the chair out for Harry to sit down before moving around the kitchen. Harry sat down at the table watching him. Soon Neville had thick slices of bacon frying and some scrambled eggs cooking while some bread toasted up. Harry got up slowly and moved towards the frig and poured two glasses of milk. “So… what do you do during the summer?”
Neville kept cooking with a smile. “I do my homework, help my gram around the house and sometimes I’ll visit Dean or Seamus.”
“Ah… how come you don’t floo Ron and Hermione?” Harry asked as Neville stilled his movement.
“I just… don’t really talk to them outside of school.” Neville said before he went back to what he was doing.
“Neville? What’s wrong?” Harry asked walking over to him.
Neville shook his head as he took the bacon off the heat and onto a plate before putting a warming spell on it. “Nothing’s wrong… I just don’t talk to them.”
Harry moved so that he was face to face with him. “I can tell when your lying. You can’t look me in the eye.” Harry chuckled dryly.
Neville sighed deeply looking at him slowly. “They… don’t really like me.”
Harry blinked before looking up at him. “What do you mean they don’t like you? How can they not like you?”
“Ron… he said that he was your best friend and I could never replace that... Hermione she was upset that I always got higher marks in Herbology than her…” Neville said making Harry take a small step back.
“Did they really say that?”
Neville nodded slowly before turning back to the eggs. “It’s not a big deal…”
“Of course it’s a big deal. They should never dislike you for stupid things like that… especially what Ron said. It’s not right…” Harry says looking at him.
Neville looks at Harry before shaking his head. “I don’t want to cause problems.”
Harry rests his hand on Neville’s shoulder. “Neville… you are one of my best friends…”
Neville looked down at the eggs before plating them. “I don’t want to cause problems…”
Harry took Neville’s hand pulling him to face him completely. “You are not causing problems Neville… you’re my friend… I don’t want you feel that your not. I…” Harry paused for a moment before deciding to say what he knew to be true. “I don’t want to lose someone who I care for very much.”
Neville looked down at Harry in surprise before he took a deep breath. “You really care about me? How much?”
Harry gulped knowing that he had opened up a can of worms. “A lot…”
“As in… you love me?” Neville probed needing to know.
Harry gulps softly looking at his feet. “Yes…”
Neville felt the his heart leap up into his throat at Harry’s word. He lifted his hand and rested his hand on Harry’s cheek. He lets his thumb carress the smooth cheek under his thumb. Harry felt his cheeks turn bright red under Neville’s hand as he looked up into Neville’s eyes.
Neville felt butterflies flitting through his stomach as he steps closer to him. He leaned down letting their lips brush gently. Harry whimpered slowly resting his hands on Neville’s chest. Neville moved his hands down to her waist as he pulled Harry close to him.
Harry let out a whimper as he laces his fingers into Neville’s hair holding him into the kiss as he slowly slid his tongue deep inside his mouth. The sound of the door opening is heard making them jump apart panting heavily.
Neville quickly turned back to the eggs and bacon as his gram stepped into the room with two large bags in her arms. She set the bags down huffing happily.
“It was actually a quick trip. So that smells wonderful.” She said as Harry quickly sitting down at the table sipping his milk.
Through out breakfast, Harry and Neville shared several glances before looking back down at their plates.
“So… Gram is Harry allowed to stay for the summer?” Neville asked as his gram smiled softly.
“That would be wonderful. That way you have someone to talk to and you both can get your homework done.” Gram said taking a bite of bacon.
Harry looked at Neville with a small smile.
This was going to make for an interesting summer.
