The next morning Neville got up and excited about getting to see his parents later on that day

The next morning Neville got up and excited about getting to see his parents later on that day. He even got used to using his middle name, of course he thought about using it when he returned to England as a way to hide from any rogue Death Eaters, but that idea didn't last too long though. He knew that his Gran worried about it because of what happened to his parents, which is one of the reasons that she was glad to spend the summer holiday abroad. This was the first time in years that he was excited to see his parents, because now he knew that at least they listened to what he had to say, even though his mum thought that he was still just a baby. It gave him some small comfort that his mum wanted to be a part of his life, so badly that she wanted him to be a toddler. He only hoped that she wouldn't want to live in the past where he was concerned, or else she might miss out on other things in his life like his getting married and graduating from Hogwarts, since he made the decision to go back in the fall since this past year he really didn't feel that he learned anything that would be on his NEWTS, he had other hard lessons to learn. This summer though he was going to concentrate on his internship and getting to know his parents better. He only hoped that he can help his mother recognize her only son.

On the appointed time he returned to the nursing home alone to spend some time with his mum alone.

"Hi, Alice do you remember me?" Neville asked his mum sounding hopeful.

"Yes, you're Francis and you know where my son is," Alice answered him with Neville being a little bit disappointed.

"What did you do today?" Neville asked sounding interested in his mum's life.

"I went to work and then I came back here to help Frank in eating his dinner, since he needs a lot of help."

"I'm sure that he appreciates that, even if he can't tell you himself."

"I'm glad that you think so, everyone here thinks that I'm a good helper."

"I'm sure you are, is there anything that you would like to know about Neville?"

"Where is he staying at while mum is here?"

Neville thought about that for a few minutes before answering, "He's staying with the Weasleys since they have a son about his age."

"That's a good choice, Molly seems to love kids a lot, and I think that she could handle him. When will he be able to come and visit his mum?"

Neville looked at his mum at that last question trying to keep his self control in telling his mum the truth about his identity.

"I don't know, I guess I'll have to check with her to see when it would be fine," Neville answered her making a mental note to let Ron and Ginny's mum know about this little deception.

"I would like to see him, if only for a few minutes. I'll would come and visit but Frank needs me here. Could you let him know that for me?" his mother asked him sounding worried that her son might think that she deserted him.

"I'll make sure that he understands that you're needed here and that you can't be with him right now," Neville reassured his mother.

"Good, I don't want him to think that his own mother left him."

At that last remark Neville wanted to reassure his mum that her own son was sitting in front of her and that he understood why she couldn't be with him right now. He then remembered what her Healer had warned him about telling his mum the truth about his identity.

"I'm sure that he won't think that. I'm sure that he would understand that you had to take care of his father first," Neville reassured his mum.

Alice thought about that and then replied, "I certainly hope so, and I don't want him to think that I just left him there all alone."

"I'm sure that he won't."

Alice seemed to be satisfied by his answer when she got up to leave, Neville thought that she didn't want to visit him anymore but he was pleasantly surprised when she wheeled Frank in where they were sitting at earlier.

"Frank would like to hear about Neville too," Alice told her son.

"Well right now he's staying over at the Weasley's, and he's being well taken care of," Neville told his father.

"How is he doing over there? Are they treating him good?" Alice asked.

"As far as I know he is doing very well and he is being treated very well since Mrs. Weasley loves children very much,"

"Isn't that good, Frank that our little boy is being taken care of?" Alice asked her husband.

Frank reluctantly typed out, "Yes," in order to make his wife happy.

Neville thought about the next thing that he was going to tell his parents, based on information that his Great Uncle Algie and Enid had told him about what he was doing when he was almost two.

"Neville is still recovering from the injuries that he received from an attack, but Mrs. Weasley is taking real good care of him and making sure that he receives the treatment that he needs. I'm sure that he would love to be here right now with his own parents, instead of with strangers. His grandmother feels that she's needed here with you more than with him," Neville told him secretly hoping that somehow that his own mother would even think that he was her own son, even though sometimes he thought that his own father knew who he was.

When he went to visit with his Uncle Algie and Aunt Enid later on that evening, he looked discouraged.

"I just came back from visiting mum and she still doesn't know who I am, I'm starting to doubt that she'll even see me as her son. She'll probably get me a toy broomstick for my birthday or something babyish. I think dad knows who I am, and he's worse off than mum."

Algie and Enid tried to reassure him. "It's only been a couple of days; you'll need to give it some time. It took a couple of months for her to even get this far. She's doing better than what she was doing in England, you still have until the end of the summer anyway. How's your internship going by the way?"

Neville brightened up at that reassurance and being asked about the internship that he loved.

"I love it, being a part of Healing research, even if it's a small part makes me feel like I'm doing my part to improve lives in the wizarding world."

"I'm glad to hear that, it's important to enjoy your work; I know that your parents did when they were Aurors."

"They did, but did they have other interests outside of work? The way that Gran talks she makes it sound like all they did is work and have me," Neville asked who was interested in knowing more about his parents' lives.

"Yes, why you even got your green thumb from your mum. Every time in the spring and summer that we would come over to their house, she would be out working in her garden and after you were born she had you out there with her. She even started training to become a master gardener in her free time, which wasn't much but she enjoyed it."

"Why didn't anybody tell me this about them before, all I've heard is how powerful they were and that they were Aurors?"

"All of these years your grandmother wants to remember them as powerful wizards not like they've been for most of your life. She only wants to remember them just as Aurors, not that they had outside interests outside of work. We're all proud of them for all of the progress that they've made this past year. Even if your mother doesn't know who you are she has definitely improved this past year the same with your father."

"I know and I'm proud of the changes that they've made, but I still want mum to know me as her son."

"I know that you do and hopefully after spending some time with her this summer, she will. This will take time, it's only been a couple of days you would need to give it some more time,"

"But how much more time?"

"I wish that I could answer that one, but I don't know," Algie answered him as Augusta entered the flat.

"I've got to go, since I have to get up early in the morning," Neville told them so that he wouldn't have to face his grandmother.

Augusta looked disappointed that Neville didn't even stick around to let her know how his visit went.
