Neville Longbottom sat in the Quidditch stands next to Hermione and Ron watching Harry play in his first match. He wasn't a big fan of Quidditch to be honest but he wanted to support his team. He wasn't a big fan of flying either even before he broke his wrist.
He was actually enjoying the game until Draco Malfoy and his cronies Crabbe and Goyle strode over. He tried to be nice to them but they always bullied him.
"Leave us alone, Malfoy!" Ron yelled.
"Weasley," he sneered.
"I said leave us alone."
"You're so poor. You can't even afford new robes. Potter has no parents."
Ron's ears turned pink. Neville knew Ron was insecure about his family's wealth. He knew money didn't matter love did.
Ron squared his thin shoulders and went in for a punch. Draco punched back.
"If brains were galleons, you would be so poor,"
Neville also punched him. It wasn't his fault that he didn't have the proper wand and he had to use his dad's. He went in for another punch. He knocked down Crabbe and Goyle a few seconds later.
The fight was finished by the time Hermione had distracted Snape from jinxing Harry's broom. Ron had a black eye and a fat lip. He looked proud.
After the match they caught up with Harry.
"What happened to you?"
"We got into a fight with Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle," Ron explained touching his eye.
"You did?"
Ron nodded.
"Tell me all about!" Harry said.
"I will."
Harry nodded. They walked to the Great Hall and sat down.
"What are you two talking about?"
"Ron beat up Malfoy."
"I've always wanted to punch that git," Fred said sitting down.
"Neville helped too, he knocked out Crabbe and Goyle.
"You did?"
"I did."
Harry nodded as Ron continued telling him about the fight.
