As Neville lay in St. Mungo's hospital, on the border between life and death, it seemed as if Professor Dumbledore came to talk to him.
"You're dead," Neville said, vaguely surprised.
"Yes, I am," Dumbledore said gravely. "And soon you will be as well."
"Who else?" Neville asked.
"Both your parents, and your Gran as well. Miss Granger. Miss Lovegood. Professor Lupin. Hagrid."
"Do I have to go now?" Neville asked.
"Yes," Dumbledore replied, holding out a hand. "Everyone has a time, and this is yours."
"Well," Neville replied, taking it, "I suppose this is only the next great adventure."
