A/N - I don't recall if J.K. Rowling ever mentioned if the Longbottom's went into hiding as did the Potter's? If she didn't then this is OOC. I took the names and deaths from Order of the Phoenix, page 158.

"Mum!" Frank's voice carried through the entire house, three o'clock in the morning. What does he want at three o'clock in the morning?
I raced downstairs and into the living room where my son, his wife and my baby Grandson were stood looking alert. Little Neville asleep in his mother's arms, wrapped in the blanket I wrapped Frank in when he was a baby. The Prewett brothers and the Fenwick boy were with them too, all with their wands out looking out of the windows.
"Frank? My goodness boy, what are you all doing here? It's the middle of the night!" I gasped, rushing over to him, taking my own wand out too.
"Mum, we don't have long. Listen, Dumbledore came to see us earlier..." Frank whispered a tale to me, a tale concerning Neville and the Potter boy, the one born the day after Neville. Apparently Dumbledore was instructing both families to go into hiding.
"What do you mean hiding? Why? Why you?" I asked him, glancing from my son to his wife who looked confused themselves.
"He's after us Mum. James and Lily too, Dumbledore's got all four of us going into hiding. Mum, look we need to ask you something before we go; you heard the other week how Dorcas' body was found? Well He killed her Mum, look her and Alice were best friends and she was Neville's Godmother, in case something were to happen to us, she'd raise him but she's gone now." He added the last part quietly, I looked at Alice and saw a tear fall down her face as she held Neville close.
"He's after us Mum and he'll probably find us. If we get found Mum I need you, we need you, to promise you'll be there for Neville? Raise him for us?" He begged me, putting an arm around Alice, the pair of them looked at me with wide eyes, silently begging me.
"Frank, Alice! Come on we're in a rush!" Fabian hissed.
"We have to get you settled and then we're taking over from Marlene and Elphias!" Gideon added, the two of them were completely identical, the only way to tell them apart was by the tie Fabian was never without.
"Mum! Please?" Frank regained my attention. Neville was my only Grandson, barely a year old, he was Frank's world, he adored him. I adored my son.
"Of course I will." I promised the two of them, stepping forwards and wrapping my arms around the two of them, careful not to squeeze my Grandson.
"I'm proud of you son. So, so proud." I whispered in his ear.
"Sorry Mrs. Longbottom but we really do need to hurry. The Death Eaters are out in force tonight." Benjy apologized, coming up and looking guilty, sorry he had ruined a precious family moment.
"I love you Mum." Frank smiled at me, putting his hand on mine and squeezing it one last time. "Happy Mother's Day." One last smile, one loud crack and my son was gone.
The last words my son ever said to me, when he was in the right state of mind, the last time I seen my son. Months passed without any contact from him, Dumbledore assured me no contact meant that were safe.
"Happy Mother's Day." Everyday of my life those three words were in my mind, the last time I saw and spoke to my Frank.
