[waking up] - neville
queerditch_pub "when i woke up you were gone."

Neville had always been there, from the first trip on the Hogwarts Express to Harry's hurried alias on the Knight Bus. He was a fixture in the boys dormitory, part neither of SeamusandDean nor HarryandRon. He had even been there before it all began, hidden in the shadow of Harry (and assumption) in that long-ago prophecy. He had been there always, but no one had noticed. No one save Luna, because Luna noticed things that other people didn't. She drew him away, won him over, gave him the confidence to be whole.

When Harry finally woke up, Neville was gone.

fiber is overrated. it is all about teh coffee.
