A/N: I always have to write about Neville. By the way, my friend Nell said it was "insightful" and "deep." I want whatever she's on.
Warnings: None.
Disclaimer: Don't own Nev, and don't own Sev. Haha, that rhymes.
Summary: hp100 challenge: spring. When necessity demands, he is the only one that can step forward.
Necessity
Even he could spring to action, when necessity demanded it. Maybe he wasn't the smartest, or the most powerful, but he was proud of what he was: the average boy in an extraordinary world, able to retain his own self amidst all the pressures placed upon him. However, when Severus Snape lay bleeding and broken on the ground at his feet with nobody but the least expected person with him, even Neville could find the courage and abilities hidden in the spring of his soul to save a hated life and be the hero he'd always wished he could be.
