This is a gift for angela_snape. Thank you for all the amazing beta work you’ve done for me.
Also for neville100 challenge #113: Neville and Trelawney
Neville hummed quietly as he placed the last plant into its new container. He sang to his plants often and they rewarded his efforts by growing to magnificent proportions. Neville sighed as he washed his hands. It was almost dinnertime in the Great Hall. He wasn’t looking forward to it. Sibyl Trelawney had taken to following him around spouting nonsense about danger and dark creatures.
Neville simply couldn’t take the woman seriously. The war was over, thanks to Harry and Headmaster Snape. The only dangerous thing happening in the castle was Harry and Snape’s ongoing game of cat and mouse. However, Neville believed the mouse had already been caught, if their heated looks were any indication. Neville smiled to himself. Who would have ever figured those two for a couple?
Neville wondered about this evening’s dinner. Snape had stepped down as Potions Master. He was supposed to announce his replacement right before dinner began. Neville, curiosity peaked, Trelawney or not, straightened his jumper and dusted himself off before hurrying over to the Great Hall.
Neville rushed in and took his seat just in time. A hush fell over the Great hall as Snape stood up. "Before we begin the meal, I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce our new Potions Master, Professor Bill Weasley."
A murmur rippled through the staff and student body as Bill Weasley swept through the doors and made his way to the head table.
"Welcome, Professor Weasley," Snape greeted.
"Thank you, Headmaster Snape. I’m honoured to be here." Bill said, shaking Snape’s hand. He proceeded to shake each staff members hand in turn. When he reached Neville, his hand lingered just a fraction of a second longer. His rich brown eyes raked over Neville, causing a jolt of electricity to go through his entire body.
As Bill took a seat right next to him, Neville noticed that Trelawney was staring wildly, gleam in her eye, and Neville groaned softly.
"What’s she staring at?" Bill whispered close to Neville’s ear.
"Ah, I’m not sure, but she’s been following me around, talking about danger and dark creatures."
"I see," Bill smirked. "You never know, she might be correct. Maybe you are in danger of being molested by a dark creature.” Bill purred.
"Hmm, who knows, I might like it." Neville purred right back.
Bill chuckled aloud. He was definitely going to enjoy teaching at Hogwarts.
