"If this is your way of harvesting distress between us, it's not going to work," Neville said in a calm tone. He didn't dare look at Charlie.

However, Ginny was looking right at Charlie. She eventually replied with, "Why do you look so confused?"

"I'm not entirely sure what's happening," said Charlie.

Neville sighed. "I've enjoyed our talks," he said, looking at Charlie now. His eyebrows were still furrowed and Neville didn't know if was playing dumb on purpose or actually totally stupidly lost about the whole thing.

"Okay…" Charlie replied.

"Ginny is having a go at me because she's realised something she'd warned me against," Neville said, speaking slowly.

"And what's that?" Charlie asked.

Neville's gaze turned to Ginny and he glowered. "This would be a hundred times easier if you weren't here."

"But I am here." She grinned at him and then took a sip of her drink. "Go on…"

"Forget it," Neville said, feeling frustrated.

"Oh, come on! You're no fun," Ginny said. "Fine, I'll leave." She got up a few moments later as Charlie stood up from his seat and she hugged him goodbye.

"So. Are you ready to tell me you fancy me, then?" Charlie said with a grin.

Neville shook his head. "I don't fancy you," Neville replied with a straight face. "Just because I think we should have sex doesn't mean I fancy you."

Charlie's eyes widened and his jaw nearly hit the table that was sat between them. "Wow, Neville. Take a bloke to dinner first." He pretended to look scandalised.

Neville rolled his eyes. "Don't even try that with me, Charlie."

Charlie reached over and took Neville's hands in his. "Entonces, ¿nos vamos ahora?"

Yes. Thought Neville. It was time to get out of there and find a more private setting. This entry was originally posted at https://digthewriter.dreamwidth.org/851431.html. Thanks for reading
