5. Neville, Part Two
"They think we're dating," Ginny said as she popped a grape into her mouth.
"I know. Does it bother you?" Neville asked, swinging his hammock back and forth lazily.
"That we're not or that they think it?"
"You tell me."
"I don't care what other people think, especially since they're the same people that called you a clod back in my third year," she answered, turning toward him and stopping his hammock. "I know Hannah minds."
He cleared his throat and then swallowed. "Hannah…understands."
"What does she understand exactly?" she asked.
Neville hopped gracefully from the hammock to the floor and then sat next to Ginny. Fir a few moments, he just looked at her, gathering his thoughts. That's what was nice about him, she reckoned. He chose his words carefully and made things very clear what his opinions were, standing by them no matter what. His emotional and physical maturity these past few months made him more attractive to the female population; he only had eyes for Hannah, but they kept their relationship very quiet. He took Harry's place as symbol of the resistance and as Ginny's emotional support, since she was without her brother, her best friend and her love. She didn't know which role she appreciated more.
"Hannah understands what I have to do here. She knows that if I don't set the tone, no one will. She knows that I care about you like a sister and if you need my time for any reason at all, I'll give it. She also knows that until this is all finished, I can't devote all my heart to her, even though she's got a big part of it," Neville explained, his voice wavering only at the end, giving Ginny just a hint of what Hannah meant to him.
"Okay," she nodded. "So what's the plan for after Christmas? Luna said something about having her dad print up a bunch of fliers."
He nodded. "She showed me what she wrote and it was pretty good. A lot of emotional and rational appeal."
"Rational? Luna?" laughed Ginny, taking another grape from the bowl.
Neville shook his head. "Don't sell her short, Gin. She's intelligent, insightful and a very good writer," he pointed out.
"Don't let Hannah hear you say that," Ginny warned. "One might get the idea that you fancy Luna and not Hannah."
"Whoever thinks that is delusional. Flat out delusional."
