By the time Neville Longbottom turned twenty he had seen his fair share of horrors. 15

He had lived through one war and grown up visiting parents who had never recovered from another. 32

That was where he was going today. Neville walked into the lobby of the hospital and nodded at the receptionist as he headed down the familiar hallway. 59

He was just about to turn down the hallway when he heard someone apparate into the lobby and start yelling. 79

"Auror down! Condition critical!"

His gaze fell on the auror that was now swarmed with healers and his breath got caught in his throat.

Harry.
