He could honestly say this was one of the strangest dreams he had ever had, and he'd had some strange ones. Never before had he been chased by Mac, who was riding a llama, banging two coconuts together. She was just about to catch him when his alarm went off. He reached for his wand to turn it off, but he couldn't move his arm. Keeping his eyes closed, he tried to move his arm and when he finally got it to shift, something else shifted on top of him and he heard a sigh.

Neville's eyes opened suddenly and he tried to sit up, only to deposit Mac, who had been sleeping against his chest, in the floor. "Mac! I'm so sorry!"

She had been woken up by being deposited on her arse.

Neville looked so stricken. Mac started laughing. Her borrowed shirt was bunched up and her knickers were showing. She propped herself up on her elbows.

"It's fine. M'arse can take a bit of a bruisin'."

He winced and offered her a hand to help her up. They both stood and there was an awkward silence.

"Er... we fell asleep during the movie."

"I noticed," Mac sighed. "I should probably get back. Brody's probably 'bout to send in the Aurors. Too bad this ruins all m'ideas on a goodnight kiss."

Neville snickered. "Don't hit me when I say this, but I have to get ready to go to work. You could probably try the 'Goodbye dear, dinner will be at 7' kiss."

"I dinna know any of those kind," Mac said. "I'll try to behave. Will ya kiss me anyhow?"

His eyebrows rose. "Well, how about we wait until I've taken my shower and gotten rid of my morning breath, yeah? I'm sure you don't want to get near to that right now. I only have one bathroom, but I can promise to take a quick shower if you'd like to get ready after me."

"Why waste water? I'll just hop in wit you."

He had been walking up the stairs and tripped. He caught himself using both hands and the banister, but was now at an awkward sideways angle. His hip had banged against a step and he winced.

"Actually, I'm good on taking a shower alone. Conserving water isn't a problem. It won't take me long either. Promise." He righted himself and as soon as he turned his back to her, he mouthed 'Oh my God'. Now she definitely couldn't take a shower with him because the images of her in his shower would cause a reaction that would bring up definite problems.

Mac snickered and flopped back on the couch. Her brother was going to be so pissed off at her. Her staying out all night was never his favorite. It was well worth it though. WELL worth it.

{SUMMARY} Mac and Neville wake up together. Far less awkward than the last time she woke up next to a guy.
