Neville watched his dorm mates. No, not watched, more like figured them out. Something he did regularly. If he didn't look out for them who would? It's not like Ron paid much attention to Harry's home life.

Not many people noticed, but Neville happened to be a quite powerful wizard. Although Neville wasn't very good in transfiguration or charms, he was brilliant at Herbology. He also happened to be an elemental wizard.

**Flashback**

Augusta Longbottom sniffed at the healer who happened to be sitting in her favourite arm chair. The healer was a young thing, very pretty and surprisingly smart. Augusta had called her to see what was wrong with Neville, his parents were so powerful, yet he showed not a drop of that power, but considering what happened to the Potters, that was probably a good thing.

"Well ma'am, I checked your grandson's state of mind, and there is nothing wrong. Actually when he reaches the age of 10 his powers should be fully awakened." The mind healer glances down at her notes "Also I believe young Mr. Longbottom is an elemental wizard."

Augusta nodded her head mulling over the news, on one hand that means Neville would excel in a subject or two, but would be horrid at the rest. On the other hand, this could also mean that her grandson would be almost squib like until they discovered his element.

"Thank you, I trust you will keep this information hushed up? We wouldn't want everyone to know that the first elemental wizard in decades is practically a squib." Augusta then took out her wand after the mind healer nodded in agreement. "Obliviate!"

** End of Flashback**

Currently Neville watched as Seamus and Dean fought over bathroom rights, Dean who got there first wanted to brush his teeth, but Seamus had to go to the loo. Neither boy noticed Ron sneaking into the washroom. Ron grinning slammed the door, causing Harry to jump a foot in the air and both Dean and Seamus to pound on the door. Sighing Neville looked back over at Harry

Harry. Neville knew there was something wrong with Harry. For instance he never would change in front of the other boys, his emotional state was in a wreck, and he was so jumpy now in days. When he got back from his aunt and uncles he was covered in bruises, of course Harry had put glamours on, but one of the upsides of being an elemental he could see through glamours. That night Neville had took some of his bruise paste and covered Harry with it- not that Harry had known.

The bathroom door opens and Ron came out grinning like a fool, but then Seamus tripped him. He stopped grinning. Ron was another problem. Neville wasn't sure if Harry knew or not, but Ron had a habit of calling Harry's name out in the middle of his dreams. Neville also had the awful suspicion that Ron had Obliviated Harry more than once, although he wasn't sure if it was because Ron confessed his "undying" love for Harry, or if Ron did something bad, real bad.

Neville didn't mind Seamus or Dean, the two half-bloods kept to themselves. Dean, the quieter one of the two was always going on about his sisters and Seamus just went along with it, Neville didn't bother with those two.

Neville knew was about various teachers. With his "see through glamour" powers Neville learned that Snape's hair was actually not greasy at all. It was really a black mass of curls, and his giant beak of a nose was more like a mouse's than a crows. Professor McGonagall desk happened to be green and silver, Dumbledore's beard was bright pink, Professor Flitwick had an unmovable dog tail and Hagrid draws random hearts on his face with permanent marker often.

A loud bang was heard across the room, causing Neville to come out of his musings and Harry to jump once again, Dean had pushed Seamus and was now wrestling in the middle of the room. Neville deciding he had enough of the ruckus, walked out of the room, down the stairs, through the common room and portrait to go find Professor Snape.

Snape also happened to be an elemental wizard, but he wouldn't tell Neville what his element was. Neville had stumbled across this information one day after messing up his potion. That said potion because a truth serum similar to veritaserum, making Snape spill a reasonable amount of secrets.

Snape, who happened to be a spy for the "light side" wasn't as bad as most people thought, he was only mean to the other houses due to his cover, and he actually thought Harry wasn't that bad. The grumpy potions master loved sugar and dancing, and also had a wife and a daughter, Sabrina and Selene.

Finally arriving at the potion labs door, Neville thought about brewing his own bruise balm or getting Snape to give him one. Deciding on the latter, mostly due to the fact potions was his worse subject, Neville knocked on Snape's office, hoping he wouldn't stand out there very long, you never know when Slytherins randomly pop out. After standing there for a few minutes a voice finally called enter.

"Mr. Longbottom, may I ask what this untimely visit is about?" Sneered Snape.

"Sorry sir, I'm just here to get some more bruising balm." Neville answered used to Snape's glares.

"I assume you ran out of the last batch using it on Potter?"

"Yea, it looks like this summer has been worse than the others and that blood quill Umbitch- Umbridge is taking a toll on him too," Sighed Neville.

"Fine, if you want another batch, you can brew them with my supervision, I don't have the time," Snape walked out of the office and into the lab.

Neville followed then started setting up his cauldron "You know professor; maybe you should try talking to Dumbledore about Umbitch- I mean Umbridge and Harry's aunt and uncle."

Severus looked up from grading papers "I've tried, multiple times, but you know Dumbledore he doesn't listen. It's like talking to a wall, but instead of not getting a reply, you get a lemon drop. Curse those lemon drops."

Going back to his clearly deformed potion, Neville decided it was time he took action.
