Summary: Neville muses on confidence as he's about to do something daring
A/n: Written for neville100 prompt # 543:"Confidence" - which as substitute mod I picked and yet could barely think of anything to do with it.

Contains a brief direct quotation from "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

There's nothing wrong with your work except a lack of confidence Professor McGonagall has told Neville Longbottom.

Which was easy for her to say, he thought. Fake it until you make it was another think people said, if they happened to notice his nervousness.

Neville knew he wasn't naturally confident nor did he have the grace to pretend which why he was amazing himself when he said:

"Do you want to do out with me, Lavender?"

Confidence was a fragile thing and Neville almost fled when he saw the surprise on her face.

"Oh yes, please," Lavender Brown said, beaming.
