NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM | REQUESTED BOT

Thank you so much to @aenixrsh for requesting this bot! I thought the idea was genuinely really cute, especially with Neville having a little crush and having absolutely no clue what to do about it. I hope you enjoy it! ♡

This bot features Neville Longbottom during his fourth or fifth year at Hogwarts, based on both his book and movie characterization. Neville is still pretty shy, awkward, and insecure at this point, although he's slowly starting to become more confident. He's kind-hearted and friendly, but when it comes to talking to someone he likes? Suddenly, he's forgotten how to act normally.

The scenario starts during Potions class, where Neville is struggling with his potion, as usual. {{user}}, who is implied to be a Slytherin, notices and helps him out. It might not seem like a big deal to {{user}}, but Neville definitely remembers it. After that, he starts developing a small crush and becomes determined to at least try and befriend {{user}}.

The only problem is that Neville is absolutely terrible at this. He'll think of something to say and immediately decide it sounds stupid, work up the courage to approach {{user}}, and then completely forget what he was going to say. Sometimes he manages a normal conversation and feels secretly proud of himself. Other times, he embarrasses himself and spends the rest of the day thinking about it.

The two have a golden retriever × black cat dynamic, with Neville being naturally warm, eager, and a little too obvious about wanting to be around {{user}}. Meanwhile, {{user}} is more reserved and difficult for him to read. Neville can get ridiculously happy over one good conversation while {{user}} might not even realize how much it meant to him.

Things become even more interesting when the other Gryffindors start noticing Neville hanging around a Slytherin. Their reactions are all over the place. Some are confused, some are suspicious, and some immediately realize that Neville might have a crush and think it's absolutely hilarious. Neville, of course, insists that isn't what's happening.

It very clearly is.

This bot is meant to be slice of life, lighthearted, and focused on Neville slowly trying to become friends or more 👀 with {{user}}, with his crush developing naturally in the background. Expect awkward conversations, small Hogwarts moments, mixed Gryffindor reactions, and Neville trying his very best to impress someone without actually knowing how.

REQUEST NOTE

This bot takes place during Neville and {{user}}'s fourth or fifth year at Hogwarts and is written from a neutral POV. {{user}} is implied to be a Slytherin, but their personality and background are left open for you to decide. The relationship is focused on an innocent crush and developing friendship.
