... expect that he would soon be hearing about Sirius moving out of McGonagall Castle and into the Bones Estate. He wondered where that would leave him, should Sirius move. He loved living with Aunt Minerva, but he wanted to live with his godfather as well. The six friends spent the next couple of hours discussing the situation, and putting together a plan to help Harry with the significant disadvantage he found himself with. Hermione's schedule was methodical, and would cover the most important hexes, jinxes, charms, transfigurations, and defensive spells from fourth and fifth year. They would move on to sixth year if they finished, but Harry wasn't sure if they would. It was quite a comprehensive list. As they were packing up to head to dinner, Harry coughed, drawing their attention. He took Ginny's hand and looked at her questioningly. She seemed confused only for a moment before she smiled her understanding, and nodded. Harry turned back to the other four students, and shuffled his feet slightly. "Erm, Ginny and I had something we wanted to tell you. We, well…" Ginny sighed, and shook her head exasperatedly.

Erm, would you be interested in going to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" Susan smiled brilliantly. "I'd love to, Neville," she replied, beaming. Neville grinned, relieved, and they separated for dinner. So I think something's developing between Susan and Neville. Now here's the question: do you want to see them end up together? I'm still toying with the idea of Neville and Luna being the end couple, but I haven't decided anything yet. I don't think that will work out, simply because I've made Susan a part of their group early on, and there's not much of a place for Luna right now. But I listen to suggestions, and I'll see what I can do. _ _ _ Chapter 20 Well, I'm glad people are responding well to the NevilleSusan pairing. I do have a plan for Luna, so I don't think it would work out with her and Neville anyway.
