Neville apologised profusely and started rambling. "I left in a rush and forgot the wine. Do you like wine? Maybe I can go back- No, probably not a good idea."

"You could've easily cancelled."

"I didn't want to. I wanted to be here. Do yo--can I come in?" he asked, feeling extraordinarily nervous. Shit, what if Charlie said no?

If this were DADA class, he was certain his Boggart would be rejection from his crush; and he'd have no defence against that.

Fortunately, Charlie moved out of the way. "I packed everything; after the first hour...didn't think you were gonna show."

"I don't blame you; that Malfoy can talk." He entered the room and smiled when Charlie closed the door behind them.

"You were with Draco?"

"Yeah. Believe me, I wish I could've escaped."

"S'alright," Charlie said softly. "What did he want?"

"Oh. I can't..." Neville said, nervously. "Sorry. I promised."

"Right. You're two hours late and won't tell me why." Charlie scowled. "I don't like games, Neville. I thought you were different. This was just a first date. I mean-"

Neville closed the distance between them and kissed Charlie. Everything was going wrong, "I'm not playing games," he breathed, lips brushing Charlie's.
