A/N: based on the scene in the deathly hallows when Neville Cuts off Nagini's head.


The Lion inside me

"As a lion growls, a great lion over his pray—and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against him, he is not afraid by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor—" Isaiah 31:4

The slash of the silver blade could not be heard over the roar of the oncoming crowd or the sounds of the clashing giants or of the stampeding centaurs, and yet it seemed to draw every eye. With a single stroke Neville sliced off the great snake's head, which spun high into the air, gleaming in the light flooding from the entrance hall, and Voldemort's mouth was open in a scream of fury that nobody could hear, and the snake's body thudded to the ground at his feet—

At that point Neville realized that he was a true Gryffindor, a lion that roared forever, he had defeated Voldemort's pride.

Neville went back to the battle, sending curses in the right direction. He knew he would not die, the lion inside him knew it.

A/N: That first paragraph is from the bible, and then the second one is from deathly hallows. I only own two short paragraphs here, they're just put together in a good way.
