Character(s): Neville Longbottom, Augusta Longbottom
Location: Gran's House
Summary: Neville talks to his grandmother about a serious matter.
Neville fidgeted with this teacup, looking down at the liquid that was no doubt cold in the bottom of it. It seemed silly for him to be nervous to talk to Gran, but he was. Ever since his talk with Seamus, he'd been thinking more and more seriously about this crazy idea that he wanted to marry Mandy. Or maybe not so crazy. They spent at least some time nearly every day together, and half of those nights, too. The more he thought about it, the more sure he was that it was the right idea.
Gran would tell him if he was nutters. He just wasn't quite sure how to bring up the subject. It wasn't every day that he showed up for tea with the sole purpose of telling her he was thinking of proposing. What would he do if she did think it was a crazy idea?
He reached for another biscuit but didn't eat it at first. The conversation had lulled, but filling it was harder than he expected. "I've been thinking--" Neville started, then took a bite of his food just so he'd have an excuse not to talk for a moment. He chewed, trying to choose his words in his head carefully. There wasn't any other way to say it, was there? "Gran, I...I'm thinking of asking Mandy to marry me."
