Stuff the Seventh: Trevor the Toad

Trevor is a toad. That is an undisputable fact. He is also the best friend of one Neville Longbottom, and as such he knows more about the boy than just about anyone else. He knows, for example, that Neville prefers carrots over peas, and that he was born at the end of July. He knows that the boy plays blocks with his mother, and that he possesses two very green thumbs. His grandfather's greenhouse can attest to that, as can professor Sprout.

There is one other thing that Trevor knows about Neville; something just as true as the boy's vegetable preferences. Trevor knows that the kind Gryffindor boy has, since the end of first year when Lavendar Brown and the Patil twins dragged him (and Trevor, who was snug in Neville's left pocket) to a Quidditch match (Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw), taken a fancy to one Cedric Diggory.

You could argue that Trevor is just a toad, and therefore lacks a basic knowledge of human emotions needed to make such assumptions. You, however, would be wrong. Trevor knows very well how his master feels about the older lad. It's sort of hard to miss when nearly every night a soft, near inaudible sigh that takes the form of Cedric's name escapes Neville's lips as he sleeps.

This will be the last thing I post for a while (a month at the very least), so I hope you enjoyed it.

Don't forget, it's nice to let me know what you think.

Hugs and Oreos!
