"What are you guys talking about?"
Harry came up behind Charlie and casually slipped an arm around his waist. Neville couldn't be sure, but it seemed like Harry tugged Charlie just a little closer, the way someone might with an actual date.
That left Neville feeling all kinds of confused. Was Charlie flirting with him earlier? Or had he completely imagined that?
"Not much," Neville said, looking at Charlie, who seemed to be unable to make eye contact suddenly with Neville. "Charlie was just keeping me company since Percy has found himself otherwise occupied."
"Ah," Harry said, swaying a little. Neville noticed that he was a little tipsy.
"How's your evening been?"
Neville stopped once he saw Charlie hold onto Harry a bit securely, undoubtedly realising Harry was swaying.
"Fine," Harry said, sounding bored. "There are only so many tree decoration stories with children that one can hear without taking a sip of Firewhisky every time."
Neville chuckled. "Well, now that you've seemed to find your date, perhaps he can take you home. But I hope you behave, Harry."
Without looking back, Neville turned to walk away. He felt a vibration in his pocket and noticed that his pocket watch was vibrating. It was a message from Draco. Draco had one of his Muggle students tell him about Muggle pagers and mobiles where folks could communicate short messages. Then he charmed a few pocket watches to hand out to friends and, apparently, also Neville.
Neville didn't have to wonder why Draco was contacting him-it was apparent. He slipped out of the hall, intent on finding a secure Floo to reach Draco. But just as he stepped into the corridor, Charlie caught his elbow, throwing Neville off balance. He stumbled, only to find himself melting into Charlie's arms like putty.
