It was the day of the drawing. Everyone was there whether they put their names in or not, although, Neville was pretty sure most everyone had. Neville was with Luna and Ginny in the Great Hall waiting for Dumbledore to cast the spell. The flame changed to a dark green once he did and then hundreds of folded pieces of paper flew out of the goblet and around the room. People cheered as their names floated into their outstretched hands.

Neville caught his but hesitated upon opening it.

'Come on, Neville,' Ginny said, 'stalling won't change the name.'

Opening it, Neville read Pansy Parkinson.

'How?'

'I have no idea what you're talking about.'

Meanwhile, across the hall, Pansy slapped Draco across the face before stomping out of the room.

Neville gulped and Ginny laughed.

'I'm sure it has nothing to do with you, Neville,' Luna said. 'What are you going to get her?'

Neville gulped, again. He hadn't thought that far ahead.
