~ooO Support : Neville Longbottom Ooo~
Neville Longbottom watched with an oddly thoughtful look. Salazar Slytherin was not such a bad bloke despite his reputation. Besides, most people used to talk down about Neville when he was younger, even when he was around and listening. They probably gossiped about Salazar Slytherin but not when he was around to defend himself. He was too powerful and confident to accept any slights to his face, but Neville knew it was nearly impossible to fight rumours and whispers. Harry and Hermione knew that and probably Slytherin as well.
Majority of wizarding society liked to hear bad things about those stronger and more able, to make themselves feel better about their petty ordinary lives. But witches and wizards like Harry, Hermione and Slytherin were not ordinary. They were a cut above the crowd. Their actions and choices shaped the future, for good or ill, but Neville was not worried. Hermione was a bright bird and she always researched her options and charted her course like a general. And Merlin knew Hermione always made the right choices, not the easy ones. Neville trusted her to do what was right. And if she married Salazar Slytherin it was because it was a right choice, not an easy one.
