I've found that in high school, people always want to get help on their schoolwork from someone they like... I always asked Andy Mulkerin to check my papers...wicked cool kid he was *sigh*.  But, back to HP -- I've seen it happen before.  People develop crushes on those who help them with stuff like that.  Happens quite often.

Just because it got her thinking about Neville doesn't mean that she'll *like* him like him.  I always *did* think Neville liked Hermione, but I don't really think about it because I'm not really into all the SHIPs and stuff...

Oy, that is a good one... She might feel a little indebted to him... I can see that.  I didn't even remember that part.  Neville's in the background of my mind...(there's no room in the front with Severus *g*)

Oh!  Like when she saved his toad!  I don't remember what book it was, but Severus said that he was going to feed Neville's Shrinking Solution to Trevor, and Hermione helped him fix it so Trevor didn't die!  She saved his beloved pet...he'll remember that.

I mean, I like it.  I like it more than Hermione/Ron or Hermione/Harry.  But, it's kinda...well...sappy.  It's the stuff Lifetime movies are made of (Cradle of Conspiracy is on Lifetime right now lol).
