Neville knocked on Charlie's door softly. He had no idea if Charlie would be there, or awake even. He was over two hours late. After sitting with Draco and talking to him, he didn't have the heart to tell Draco that he had to go. So he stayed there with his friend, until he was done.

It wasn't like him to turn his back to a friend; he wasn't going to do it to Draco just because he had a date. Even if his date had been with Charlie Fucking Weasley that Neville had had a crush on since forever.

The door opened abruptly and Charlie stood there in Muggle jeans and a t-shirt. "Hi," he said, looking surprised. And thankfully, totally not annoyed with Neville.

Neville was glad he didn't have any extra Herbology assignments to grade over the weekend--he figured he'd have a lot of grovelling to do.

"I didn't think you were going to come," Charlie said, standing at the door. He didn't move out of the way to let Neville in and that was definitely not a good sign.

"I got held up—"

"Right," Charlie said, defensively. His posture changed immediately which only made Neville panic.
