AN: Still no. Not mine.
Enjoy!
Neville Longbottom watched from the outskirts of the Gryffindor common room as Harry, Hermione, and Ron laughed and joked together, their easy camaraderie a painful reminder of what he longed for but felt he could never attain.
As he observed their bond, envy stirred within Neville's heart like a dormant ember reigniting into flame. He couldn't help but feel a pang of longing for the kind of friendship they shared—a friendship forged in the fires of adversity and strengthened by unwavering loyalty.
For years, Neville had admired the Golden Trio from afar, marveling at their courage and resilience in the face of danger. Yet, despite their occasional interactions and shared experiences, he always felt like an outsider looking in—a mere spectator to their adventures.
As Harry, Hermione, and Ron continued to share stories and laughter, Neville's envy threatened to consume him, overshadowing the sense of belonging he yearned for. In that moment of vulnerability, he couldn't help but wonder if he would ever find his place among them or if he would forever remain on the periphery of their friendship.
But deep down, Neville knew that envy was not the answer. Instead of dwelling on what he lacked, he resolved to focus on the friendships he did have—the bonds he had forged with his fellow Gryffindors and the support they offered him in times of need.
With a renewed sense of purpose, Neville took a step back from the common room, determined to find his own path and create friendships that were uniquely his own. For while he may never be a part of the Golden Trio, he knew that true friendship was not defined by the number of people at your side, but by the depth of connection you shared with those who truly mattered.
