Summary: Harry and Neville meet up for a drink
Returing Rosemerta's wink, Neville turned around and leaned back against the bar. Not a bad crowd tonight. Couple of really nice asses here and there, and a witch who's robes hinted at nice legs. Cute boy across the bar, one he wouldn't mind talking to, or up. Neville had been been single, for how long now? Too long. 5 months?
That might be a record. Still, it wasn't a bad thing. It gave him more time to devote to work, and his superior must be impressed with the hours he was putting in. Neville had no doubt of that.
So it would balance out. Work now, and when someone kept his interest, then there'd be time to play. Even it he might be off his game, the only one who'd captured his eye recently was Dennis, and that was a no go. Now maybe if Neville had fancied him before Colin, but working through a family was not something Neville considered appropriate. At it was, thinking of Dennis that way was discomfiting, not to mention that Harry might hex him for it. Admittedly Neville would do the same to another wizard who looked at Dennis like that. He was just a kid, for heaven's sake. Not appropriate for thougths like that.
And on the subject of appropriate, he'd been tempted to visit Hermione in the hospital, but given that they were not close, he wasn't sure it would be appreciated, at least not when she'd just been there for a day. So he'd wait and send a note in a day or two.
In the interim, a drink or two (or three) with a friend, then home to putter in the garden for a bit, and forget the day. Gardening was the best way to unwind, okay, second best.
