Scary summer day

Neville Longbottom was sitting in his office getting ready to go down to the greenhouses. It was a bright sunny morning which always was good, condition wise for a herbology lesson. Students had to walk to greenhouses to get to herbology. A nice small walk on a sunny day was sure to put one in a good mood, or at least it had that effect on him.

Today however was different. He was at the precise moment not that inclined on teaching for he was worried about his wife. She had been under the weather when he had left her at their home over the leaky cauldron. It was a nice place if you yourself were the landlord for that meant total rent control and his students found it the height of cool, he according to his students was cool, which in his own school days was something he would seldom hear, for in his school days he was Neville the bumbling idiot. Yes Neville in his schooldays was not cool but that had changed when he as a true Griffindor had pulled the ruby encrusted sword of Godric Gryffindor out of the burning sorting hat and had slain nagini the vicious snake of the darkest wizard of all time and it was at this precise moment where his wife had told him and he had told her about the love that lay within them for each other, well not precisely that moment for at that moment the battle of Hogwarts had recommenced, but they had gotten to that later when it was over.

Now however living over the leaky cauldron the wizarding pub did not seem such a good idea, his wife the love of his life was ill and being the landlady of a pub was going to have its toll on her and he was here at Hogwarts castle getting ready to go. Oh my, he was already downstairs "when did I get here" his way to his real offices the greenhouses where he actually worked and taught classes.

"Hello class" Neville introduced himself "I am Neville Longbottom" "I will be teaching you herbology. It does not seem to be that exciting of a subject for now when your study mainly comprises of hard work and basic know how but I assure you, you do not want to take it lightly as it will certainly have its moments."

After this short speech a student an excitable first year bursting with excitement asked out loud "is it true sir that you were a member of the DA" another followed suite and asked "and that you were a classmate dorm mate of Harry Potter" and before Neville could answer another asked "and that you fought in the battle and killed you know who's snake" and then another "and that the DA communicated with the help of enchanted coins"

Neville looked at their eager faces and answered "yes" "yes" "yes" "and yes" then he took his fake galleon out and showed it to them and explained to them about the protean charm and how Hermione had come up with this and why they had used this as a method of communication. As he was putting it the galleon away, suddenly it burned red hot, he knew something was wrong with Hannah and as soon as he realized that a silver doe patronus came running to him and stopped and spoke in the voice of Ginnerva Potter "Neville somethings wrong with Hannah come quick. I am taking her to St Mungo's"
