I love how you portray the emotions in this story, and keep everyone really true to character, too. Poor Neville, but also yay Neville!

If you're interested, I think you'd be a really good fit for a writing community I'm in. It's a Harry Potter roleplay site with all original characters. Lots of fun all around. If you are, it's .net. Feel free to check it out. I got into it from someone leaving a review, so I figure I'll pay it forward and try to get more people into it, too.

Either way, this was great!

That was beautiful! So sweet! Lovely getting to read about Neville. thanks

This was a great story but i do want to ask you something. My question is why did you write it in that the Longbottoms were poor due to mismanagement of the financial affairs for generations? I can not see that a woman like Augusta Longbottom would ever allow anything to be mismanaged without fixing it! lol Anyway, i enjoyed the story. Perhaps you will write about Neville's training as an Auror? That would be a nice continuation of this and to be a trilogy you could write his experiences while he is working after training. Just something to think about :)

Oh, that hurt. Well done, but it still hurt.
