PROMPTS: Crucio and (author's choice): wrapper

"Who are these people, Neville?" Hannah Abbot curiously asked, staring at a handicapped couple in St. Mungo's.

Neville sighed. "These, Hannah," he finally said, "are two Aurors, who were tortured into insanity by some vile Death Eaters. The damage done to them, is beyond any recovery. Frank and Alice Longbottom are unable to even recognise their own son."

Hannah gasped, "Neville, I'm so sorry," she whispered, her eyes filling with tears, "I didn't know."

"Well, at least I've got Gran. In the meantime, I always try to live up to my parents expectations, trying to things that they would have been proud of, like being brave and valiant," Neville explained.

"And you've done so well," Hannah told him, stroking his cheek.

At that moment Alice Longbottom came up with a bubblegum wrapper. "Proud," she muttered, handing Neville the wrapper. Neville looked at his mum, tears filling his own eyes and smiled, "Thanks," he said.
