She created a long list of reasons in her head as to why she and Neville wouldn’t work as a couple. None of the things on that list were the reason that she wouldn’t settle down with him though. He was everything she should have wanted in a partner. He was intelligent and kind, well-spoken and well-read. Puberty had been just as kind to Neville Longbottom as it had been to Draco Malfoy and he’d grown into an extremely handsome man. He didn’t question her when she woke in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat and coated in the fears of yesterday. He would pull her into his arms, rubbing his hands up and down her back until she stopped shaking.
