“Dean and Seamus are pulling an all-nighter down in Hufflepuff with Ernie to finish their Charms essay,” Neville said.
You only hummed in response.
The majority of your attention was trained on the bookshelf in front of you. You’d been struggling with your latest translation assignment from Professor Babbling, and for as vast and well stocked as the Hogwarts library was, you couldn’t seem to find a proper book on the proto-Germanic phonology of Elder Futhark for the life of you. All the head tilting and squinting at small text was starting to grate on your nerves, and, not for the first time, you were questioning your own sanity for ever thinking that pursuing a N.E.W.T. in Ancient Runes was a good idea.
“And Harry’s still in London meeting with the Minister.”
You paused, your hand poised over the spine of a rather serious-looking tome titled Runic Inscriptions of the First Century, and glanced over at your boyfriend.
Neville hovered next to you, as he had been since the two of you entered the library together, but only now did you notice the nervous way he shifted his weight and twiddled with the strap of your bag currently slung over his shoulder.
“…And Ron always stays with Hermione on the weekends,” he added after a few beats of silence.
You raised an eyebrow. “Okay?”
Neville only chewed on his bottom lip, failing to elaborate any further. You could tell there was something else he wanted to say, but he clearly needed some prodding to spit it out.
