Summary: Hermione and Neville talk in her flat when Ron walks in on them.
"He's different than your other boyfriends," Hermione said pouring tea in Neville's cup as he sat beside the kitchen table in her flat. Ron was out with the rest of the Weasleys for a family shopping trip and Hermione had feigned illness because she really didn't wish to go. Thirty minutes after they'd left, she'd arrived at her flat, and Floo-called Neville.
"What other boyfriends?" Neville asked, nearly snorting. He took a long sip of his tea. The weather outside was still shite, even if it was supposedly spring. London could never get it together with Mother Nature.
"I'm just saying it looks like he makes you happy. I just wish you'd tell the family," she said.
"The only reason you know is because you'd walked in on us, Hermione. I don't plan on telling anyone, until he's ready. Even then, I don't know. I just don't want the big drama with Gran being involved and everyone just coming over and--"
"I get it. Believe me, I get it," she said, laughing. She took a seat across from him at the table and held his hand.
Neville knew she'd understand. The war was still fresh among them, and Fred's death...it was hard for everyone to get over, and Neville wasn't sure if anyone was over it. Hermione and Ron had become an item during the war so their union wasn't a shock to anyone. Harry and Draco...well that was an entirely different story. Charlie had said that he wanted to keep this bit of happiness for himself and Neville had agreed; he didn't want to look like he was flaunting the happiness he'd found with Charlie.
They sat in comfortable silence as Hermione squeezed his hand and was about to get up when Ron and Charlie barged through the front door. Even Ron hadn't known about Neville's relationship with Charlie, or even the fact that Neville was gay. He took one look at their holding hands and hurt flashed across his face.
"Neville?" Ron asked, surprised. "What are you--"
"Ron, this isn't what it looks like..." Hermione began to say but Ron stormed out leaving Neville, Charlie and Hermione alone in Hermione's flat. Read Part II: Damage Control
