Loyalty
Prologue
Neville Longbottom bit into his lip to keep himself quiet as he followed Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood up the stairs toward the Headmaster's office. Ginny was at the front of the trio.
"Neville, Luna, stay where you are and watch for Snape or his cronies," Ginny ordered as she stepped into the office. Even though, we knew that the Sword of Gryffindor was incased in glass, we never heard it break. Ginny came running out of the office with the sword at her side. "Come on!" She whispered. "That nasty portrait is bound to be tipping Snape off right now!"
"Portrait?" Neville asked as the stood close to her. The sword behind her back.
"Salazar Syltherin!" Ginny exclaimed as they hurried down the steps. A startled gasp escaped all three of them as they came face to face with Snape himself.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?"
