- - -

One cool January morning, Neville Longbottom drew himself up and embraced the persona he'd decided upon.

"Hey there roundheels, how about you and me go and find a broom for back seat bingo, ya dig?"

Lavender Brown burst out giggling.

"Neville, what was that?"

"I was asking you out," Neville said.

"I got that, I meant why are you speaking like that?"

"Well.. I mean.. I thought I'd try… umm, 'New year, New me', for confidence?" Neville stumbled over his words.

"I'll go on a date with you," Lavender said, blushing prettily, "but the old you will be perfectly sufficient."
