Settling Down
The war had changed him. The war had changed everyone who had lived through it either directly or indirectly. The war had made everything both more difficult and also a lot easier.
Their success had been littered by failures, losses through the years not to mention the brief period of complete torture the year preceding the end of the war. Even as the entire population had become to heal there were still politics and the entire process of rebuilding that had to take place to get everything to vaguely the point it had been before it not better.
It had taken some time for them to finally settle down and stop being as jumpy towards everything as they had been during the war. It was difficult and they could never quite get rid of the instinct that they had learned the hard way through the years.
Neville had finally settled down as a Professor at Hogwarts. Teaching had somehow made a lasting impact on him and he was determined to be a similar influence on the newer students that attended Hogwarts in the future in an attempt to never allow another Dark Lord to grow within the walls of Hogwarts for as long as he was teaching there.
Neville could not argue against the amusement he held toward the students though as they remained in awe of the 'war heroes' who had remained at Hogwarts to teach the new generations. It was also admittedly odd seeing students that reminded him of both himself and some of his past year mates.
Neville had ended up as the Herbology Professor as had been expected by everyone, but everyone had congratulated him nonetheless. His office was close to the newly resurrected Greenhouses that were both a lot bigger and were basically planned a lot better than the last ones had been, especially when one of the greenhouses had been built near the shade for the plants that liked the light less than the others.
