Prompt 9: "Sometimes I feel like carving my name into your chest and your body. Then people will finally know that you're MINE"

Jealousy brings out the worst in anyone and everyone no matter who. Even in people you didn't expect like Neville Longbottom. Neville was a quiet shy guy who rarely ever interacted with people and when he did, they usually made fun of him. And then there was you, you were a literal sweetheart to him, always making sure he was all right, defending him from Malfoy and his gang of Slytherins whenever they picked on him for something or whenever Snape decided to be extra irritable that day and pick on poor Neville even more than usual only to be greeted with your snarky comebacks and words. Of course you'd also end up getting detention for your little spats with Snape but you didn't mind. Neville on the other hand would feel bad and sneak in the detention room to give you your favorite Honeydukes sweets to cheer you up

Despite the two of you being so close, Neville started to realize and develop the mindset that the two of you were meant to be together, as one whole person. A heart and soul and 2 minds alike, soulmates. Neville can't help but fall madly and deeper in love with you whenever he spends time with you. Even if it's just a span of a few seconds it's enough. He feels lucky to be in your presence and be close with you. As time passes by, Neville's crush for you isn't as innocent as it once used to seem because it was now replaced with much darker intentions. Does Neville know his feelings for you are unnatural and absolutely obsessive? Yeah he does but he doesn't want to admit it and come to terms with it. Imagine pining for someone who's so close to you yet so hopelessly far away, that's exactly how Neville felt whenever he was around you

He was nervous to ask you out because he didn't want to ruin your friendship and yet his feelings for you keep spinning wildly out of control every single damn second you spend with him. It's like he falls in love with you even more if that's actually possible. Of course Neville has mentioned about you to his grandmother plenty of times in his letters and his grandmother was pleased to know that he was at least interested in someone and overlooked his obsessive tendencies. She knew you were one of the reasons why Neville was happy and from what all he's mentioned about you to his grandmother, you sound like a great person which was why she didn't want him to loose you

Sure it's considered unethical and creepy if you're snooping through the things of the person you love but Neville doesn't see it like that, he sees it as a way of 'trying to get rid of any harmful items' you have because the last thing he wanted was to see you, the love of his life hurt. The pocket knife which you've received as a gift from someone was missing and you were pretty bummed out but you didn't know that Neville was the one who got rid of it. His eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw that, what in the name of Merlin could you possibly be doing with such a dangerous object? He's willing to overlook the fact that you've received it as a birthday present because you can get harmed by it

For a long time Neville kept his feelings for you hidden but as he watched you interact with other people more frequently than him, his feelings were taking a much more darker turn. He started getting thoughts like hurting the people you were talking to because of sheer jealousy. The other day when you were talking with Terry Boot too long for his liking, it's like something in him snapped. He felt his emotions and anger and jealousy eat through his rational side of his personality as he was itching to do something, ANYTHING to get you away from that git's presence. He spotted a young Mandrake plant nearby and internally smirked to himself. He remembered his Herbology lessons with Professor Sprout, baby mandrakes were extremely cranky when woken up from their naps and disturbing their sleep was what he'd intended to do. He pushed the pot towards Terry Boot and he wasn't concentrating on what he was doing at the moment as his hand reached out for the Mandrake and before you knew it, the entire greenhouse was filled with the deafening cries of a very angry and pissed of mandrake baby. Neville immediately snapped a pair of ear muffs on your ears as you thanked him and as for Terry, he ended up going temporarily deaf for a few days. Perhaps this will teach him not to try stealing you away from him

Neville started getting paranoid about you getting stolen by someone better than him. One day you'd fall for Harry potter and he wouldn't blame you but he had to get to you first, so he wouldn't loose you. He planned an elaborate beautiful dinner date for the two of you at Hogsmeade and when he asked you out, fortunately for you, you said yes. Neville was worried he had to resort to other means to make you agree to go out with him. But now that you agreed to go out with him he could finally rest for a while and take it easy. Or so he thought when he saw you coming out of your Charms lesson giggling at something Harry said and of course, he felt crippling jealousy bubbling inside him. "Oh hey Neville, Harry was just telling me what he's done to get back at Malfoy with Ron, honestly that git deserves it" and you hugged Neville. Neville cherished the hug from you and wrapped his arms around you possessively as he glared at Harry and had a forced smile on his face, despite the fact that Harry was still smiling around you

"My goodness Harry, that was amazing. Well, I'll talk with you later, I'm going to spend some time with Neville here" and from the way Neville was clinging onto you like a koala, you could tell there was something up with him and you decided to ask him about it later. After Harry went, you asked Neville if he was jealous but he just had a pouty grumpy expression on his face and you understood that he most certainly was jealous. He appreciated you spending time with him and even though at least half of Hogwarts knew the two of you were dating now, he still didn't like it when you were hanging out with Harry too much. His insecurities clawed his feelings once again when he saw Draco Malfoy trying to ask you out despite knowing that you were already going out with Neville

"Oh come on Y/N, that Longbottom loser can't satisfy you like me. Why don't you just ditch him already?" When Neville heard him say that he felt like his heart stopped beating. No, this can't happen, you couldn't leave him... he loved you too much to let you go. No, he'll never let you get away from him. You just scowled at Malfoy and told him to leave you alone till Harry came to your rescue. After Malfoy got pissed off, Neville couldn't believe Harry actually had the gall and audacity to ask you to hang out with him sometime later in the future! Neville knew he had to take action before it was too late and before you knew it, he wrapped an arm around you and kissed your cheek as he mentioned something about going to Hogsmeade at that moment as you bade goodbye to Harry

Sure Neville is shy and quiet but he isn't stupid. He knows Draco and Harry and other lousy scumbags have crushes on you and he doesn't blame them, you are pretty amazing after all but he doesn't want them laying their eyes on you. Neville looked like he was in deep thought about something and when you asked him what he was thinking about he just muttered "Sometimes I feel like carving my name into your chest and your body. Then people will finally know that you're MINE" . You didn't realize he actually meant it and thought he just meant it In the heat of the moment so you hugged him and told him you weren't going anywhere. As for Harry and Draco if they don't watch their steps, perhaps taking a little trip to the hospital wing would do them some good
