Chapter 4

Nevilles handy work

Harry was very tired not just Harry but everyone they had spent weeks fixing the castle from the war. When they where finally finished everyone was saying goodbye to one another as the set tracks to go home for the time they had left of the summer holidays. Harry smiled over to Ginny who was hugging her best friend Luna goodbye as her father came to pick her up. Harry missed his friends Ron and Hermione had left a couple of days after the war to go to Australia to find Hermiones parents which Harry thought was a good idea not just in-case anything happened but also it meant that Harry got to spend a lot of alone time with Ginny but he couldn't be any more wrong there was far to much to do at the castle and the little time they did get to spend it was also with Neville and Mr and Mrs Weasley.

You could see that Ginny was getting annoyed that they where not getting the alone time they wanted but what kept harry going was that Harry was the only one that slept in his dorm because Neville is always falling a sleep on the sofa next to the fire and Seamus and Dean went home once the war was done. So Ginny would always sneak up to the boys dorms once everyone was sleeping and climb into bed with Harry and they would lay there for hours just looking into each others eyes not even having to say a word because they both know that all they needed now was each other.

Harry walked across the entrance hall to where Ginny and Luna where saying there goodbyes "i see your away Luna" Harry said to her, Luna was a very strange girl and always looked like she was day dreaming but this is what Harry loved about her the most she didn't care what people thought of her and she was always there for her friends. "Hello Harry I was going to come over and say bye to you but you looked deep in thought over there" replied Luna "Just wondering how Hermione and Ron are getting on" said Harry worriedly Ginny noticed this and took his hand and said playfully "Harry there probably lying on a beach some where snogging the face off one another". Harry just smiled and said "wish it was us" Ginny smiled at him and kissed him gently when Luna spoke it made Ginny and Harry jump a little as they nearly forgot she was there "I am so happy use to are finally together" "thanks Luna me to finally" said Ginny. Harry smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist and cuddled her and whispered in her ear "Forever Always". He kissed her once more and turned to Luna "you have a good holiday I will see you in the new term" Luna smiled at Harry who leaned in and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek "Well I better go I was suppose to help Hagrid and Neville with the grounds I will see you in a bit Ginny" as he said this he waved at her with a smile and started walking towards the front doors.

Harry walked down the stairs and across the grounds he couldn't see Neville or Hagrid anywhere so he started to walk towards Hagrids hut when all of a sudden he saw what could only be Hagrid and another figure in the distance which could only be Neville the two of them where looking at something it looked like a big rock. When Harry got close he was amazed of what he seen a beautiful marble stone it was huge it was almost the same height as Hagrid and it must have been about 12ft long but that wasn't what amazed Harry its what was on it...

Remembering the brave at the Battle of Hogwarts Harry's eyes where fixed on it it was amazing "Did use guys do this "said Harry as he touched the wall just where it had carved into the marble beautifully Remus Lupin not far under this there was Fred and Tonks even Dobbys name was on it this brought a tear to Harry's eye. "Na this was all Neville's idea this its great don't you think Arry" said Hagrid wiping the tears in his eyes " Its was nothing I mean I want them all to be remembered" said Neville like a small child staring at his shoes Harry looked down further this is where Harry's eyes really watered up Those who died fighting when no one else would Harry`s eyes fell on his parents names also Sirius, Dumbledore and Cedric Diggory`s names there where so many more but Harry just looked at Neville walked up and grabbed him in for a hug "this is amazing Neville you should be so proud I am so proud of you and so would your parents be" Harry whispered this last bit into Neville's ear so Hagrid didn't hear Harry was ready to pull away from Neville when they where botch scooped up by Hagrid and squeezed they couldn't catch there breath "Oh its wonderful" said Hagrid as he place the boys back down who where both trying to get there breath back but smiling.

With in a hour the whole school knew of what Neville had done and he had people from all over come up and thank him for making the remembrance monument. It was moved from the edge of the forbidden forest to beside the entrance to the castle "I am so proud of you Longbottom" smiled McGonagle "Not as much as I am Minerva" said a crackly old women it was Augusta Longbottom Neville's Grandmother "I am very proud of you Neville" his grandmother said Neville looked shocked as if this was the first time he had ever heard his grandmother compliment him."Thanks gran" smiled Neville.

Harry walked over to the monument and found exactly who he was looking for it was Ginny she was reading one name on with her hand upon it with a small tear running down her cheek it read Fred Weasley Harry walked upto her and pulled her into a cuddle he never said nothing he just held her he just wanted to let her know he was there for her no matter what happened.
