"That's not funny, Draco," Neville said, scowling at his friend who looked far too delighted with himself for having something "serious" to talk about. "What do you need anyway?"

"Where are you going?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow. "You've been on edge all evening."

"If you must know, I have a date, and no I don't want to tell you the details."

"Can I tell Harry?"

"I don't know, can I tell Harry you were in my quarters trying to discuss something secretive?" Neville snarled at Draco or maybe he roared...like a lion.

Draco was suddenly very serious. "Fine, don't tell me. You're clearly in a rush. Can we talk in the morning?"

"Sure."

"That is, if you're coming back to your rooms tonight. What if you decide to run away with this secret lover?" Draco teased and Neville was not pleased by the comment.

"Draco, I don't have time to get into this right—"

"Fine," Draco said, looking defeated. He started to get up off the sofa when Neville stopped it.

"Damn it!" Neville mumbled. "Wait. Just tell me what's wrong." He decided upon heating up some water for tea. It was going to be a long night.
