THINKING OF YOU
Neville raised his hand, still shaking slightly from continued terror, and attempted to remove the sweat from his dirty, scarred face. Neville knew he would never be the same innocent and nervous boy he had been before his terror-filled seventh year; he only wished he knew if he would ever feel safe again. His favourite year by far, of his whole life, had been his fifth year of Hogwarts. Neville had grown close to Ginny and Luna, and it had been agony knowing how much they had suffered this past year. When Neville had killed that snake, his only thought had been of Luna, and how terrified she must have been of it, trapped as she was in that house for months on end.
Neville stepped into the Great Hall, only to be reminded that for most people, the pain of losing loved ones would go on. Neville sighed. "Be careful Neville, the snarglepuffs are everywhere today; they are attracted to and intensify sadness and despair." Neville turned, already smiling. "Hello Luna! I'm glad you're okay." Luna's eyes seemed to glow silver. "We're not okay yet Neville, but we will be." And Luna slipped her hand into his, guiding him away from the mourning fighters.
REVIEWS – Cuthbert – Thank-you so much! I really love it when someone thinks I've portrayed the characters well :) I think Luna inspired Neville too.
A/N: I am currently copying all my edited fics to AO3, in case someone decides my fics affect their delicate sensibilities. As always, I love requests, just see my Bio for more info :)
