Author's notes: Unbetaed. Continuation of the Professor series. *Also* this story has been going on for a while (not the story time line but the author's), so I kind of lost track of where in 8th year they are - so if there's any timeline errors - pardon me. Thanks to all the people that still read this piece of crap.
Exams were almost over. It was the last weekend they had off before the end-of-the-year celebrations happened; then, all the students would leave Hogwarts. For Neville and most of his closest friends, it'd be for good.
He was excited to pack for the weekend away with Theo and go to their secret place. Charlie would be waiting there. They weren't going to Romania, not for this weekend, because they wanted privacy. Since his friends now knew about their relationship with Charlie, they didn't always feel safe. Charlie could've placed privacy charms at his flat, but, there was just something more meaningful about getting away.
"So, big plans?" Neville's packing was interrupted when Ron came in their room after lunch. His voice sounding like he was trying to be casual, and failing.
"I… yeah. Just me and Theo, you know, going away for one last weekend."
"With someone else?" Ron looked away from Neville for a second.
"Is that a problem?"
"Listen, mate…" Ron seemed hesitant. "It's not my business who you-"
"It's not, Ron. We're all adults. I don't ask you any questions."
"Well, I'm not buggering your brother. Or sister." Ron looked around the room as if someone could hear them.
Neville let out a frustrated sigh. He charmed the door closed and spelled them some privacy. "Why do you care? He's older and wiser, obviously… I mean, I hope you don't think we're not doing this without consent or…"
"Yeah, but it's him."
"Him?" Neville repeated, confused. "Charlie…?" he whispered and Ron shook his head. "You have a problem with Theo?" When Ron didn't answer, Neville didn't know what to say.
"Does Harry know you feel this way about Malfoy? I mean, Malfoy was worse, wasn't he? He actually almost killed you."
Ron visibly cringed then. "I'm not trying to sound like a villain, Neville…"
"Then don't talk. You're friends with Pansy, I mean, you two went shopping together to buy Hermione a Valentine's Day present. What are you waiting for? Harry to break up with Malfoy? Me to break up with Theo? Do you think it's all a phase or something and then in the end, the Gryffindors will remain together?"
Neville was rambling, knowing he wasn't making any sense, but then Ron's reaction didn't make any sense, either.
"Malfoy and Parkinson don't try to fuck everything that walks, and they don't get caught getting a blow job behind Honeydukes," Ron said.
"We love him," said Neville.
"I get that," Ron said, "I'm glad you love my brother but how long-"
"No, Ron. Your brother and I love him." At that, Ron's eyes widened; he looked like his jaw was gonna hit the floor. "Not that it's any of your business, but, the three of us are exclusive. We're only with each other. We're planning to be for a very long time."
He was right. He didn't need to explain anything to Ron but at the same time, it felt so good to say it out loud.
