In which The Longbottom heir slowly develops a back bone.
Aka, Neville gets angry when a bunch of mean new First years bully his new friend who was just trying to help his frog, Trevor.
Throughout the train ride, Luffy managed to run into Draco, surprising both Crabbe and Goyle because a random boy with a straw hat basically jumped on the Malfoy Heir.
The Malfoy Heir introduced the two to the shorter boy. And strangely enough, Luffy also gave them some pens.
(A/N Luffy saving everyone from the pain of writing with a feather 😂)
And now?
Luffy was holding a frog in a protective way, hiding it from the very much taller first years who were looking to squash the little guy.
"For the last time, no! I'm not going to give him to you!" Luffy frowned as they shook their head and chuckled, the tallest one of the group towered over him, invading his personal space but Luffy wasn't backing down.
''Trevor!?'' A voice called out, the slippery frog in the straw hat boy's hands jumping away and hopped towards the boy who could only be his owner.
He looks up to see 4 taller kids towering over a significantly smaller one, ''H-hey... What's happ- ppening...?'' He said nervously, his head lowering as his shoulders slump.
''Oh nothing~ It's just your frog, has eaten our food when we weren't looking.'' One of the kids frowned, but a fake polite smile playing on their lips.
''For the last time. I'll just pay you!'' Luffy was literally handing out 2 galleons to the large bully, that was more than enough, wasn't it?!
''I'm not talking to you, mudblood.'' The chubby boy who owned the frog's eyes snapped wide with anger, how dare this pathetic idi... Idiot, insult someone because they weren't 'pure blooded'?!
''That's it! You've said enough!'' Before Luffy could bite back an insult of his own, the boy tackled the bullies to the ground with one swift motion and pushed his weight on to them.
''Ugh!''
''Get off, you fat pig!''
''What Is the matter with you, Longbottom?!''
''Don't tell me you're a muggle lover too!"
All in all, Luffy was shocked yet again. After hearing the bullies complain and whine for 2 minutes straight, the straw hat-wearing boy grabbed him gently by the writ and made a run for it. The frog hot on their tails, wow. Never knew Trevor had the makings of becoming an Olympic.
He giggles quietly to himself as the boy, Longbottom? Was it? Voiced his surprise as they ran from the bullies who weren't really making a move to follow them because someone had called a 'Perfect' or 'Head boy' over.
Ace, Sabo... This world sounds like an adventure!
He is a nervous wreck, a brave man.
He is Neville Longbottom. At your command!
Yes! Luffy Is going to work with Neville's confidence! The boy deserve more recognition. Y'know?
