Summary: Neville's at the edge of the unknown
A/n: Written for neville100's prompt #532: "Here Be Dragons". There seemed to be two obvious candidates for the prompt and I went for the nicer of the two.

Neville Longbottom stood outside the gay club, hovering in indecision. It looked horribly crowded and noisy inside though Neville's biggest problem was that it would be an admission of what he wanted. It was new; uncharted territory - Here Be Dragons.

"Neville isn't it?"

Neville started and turned, a huge slightly familiar red-haired man had addressed him. His mouth was suddenly dry.

"C-charlie?"

"That's me." Charlie Weasley said. "First time?"

"What?" Neville blushed.

"At the club?" Charlie continued. "I could show you around."

Here Be Dragons, indeed, Thought Neville as they went in together but he'd found the best guide imaginable.
