on his name, being brought back out
...it's better than all the ones about snakes, I reckon.
This is more than you ever did with me before, though, and I have to wonder what you've got planned.
Nothing yet?
I-I don't know how to feel about that.

[His eyebrows knit together at her last statement.]
Yeah, that would get pretty...pretty annoying after a while. But hey! Now you know how Harry always felt, right? So he's not alone in that anymore!
no subject
[Yeah, Harry isn't alone. But she's had enough of her personal life being public knowledge.]
What about you? You're a hero!
no subject
What? That's...that's first-year reading! Besides, I'm sure I've learned most of it by now anyway. A-And my mun says I'll end up teaching there, so if I don't read it by then I guess...it'll probably be required reading. [OH NO BUT IT'S SO BORING WHYYYYY]
W-What? No I'm not! I'm not at all!
no subject
You want to be a teacher? Neville, that's great! I was thinking .. well, my mun maybe said that I should consider going for my Potion Master's license. If someone at Hogwarts will take me on, we can work together!
[She nodded at his reaction.]
That's how I feel whenever .. someone says something like that to me. I don't know about Ron and Harry but, it's kind of uncomfortable.
no subject
But whoa, Potion Master Hermione Granger? That's a force to be reckoned with. Hot damn.]
But...but I didn't do anything. Unless you've...you guys have told people, no one...no one knows about the dog--the-the one in that area before Harry beat...I didn't tell anyone. And when Dumbledore gave those points I thought, I mean...I thought maybe you guys told him, and it was his way of saying that it was okay what I'd done. I mean, giving points just for me telling you not to go doesn't make it sense! M-More like...giving me points for not telling anyone, for keeping it...a secret!
That's...that's not very heroic. What you guys did every year, that was heroic. You're...you're all more of heroes than I'll ever be. Just because...you guys did so much more, though!
no subject
Neville, everyone who fought in the Battle of Hogwarts is a hero! There was no way we all could have survived without working together! Besides, you did more than you think.
[She barks out a slight laugh.]
You mean what Harry did? I helped, but there was no way .. no way I could have done all the things he did. I would have been too frightened! I think ..
I think that being a hero is more than how much you do. It should be based on individual strengths.

He listens, shuffling his feet slightly and clearly unsure of what to say, though the uncertainty is really nothing new.]
Y-Yeah, but if you hadn't have been with Harry and Ron, he wouldn't have gotten as far as he did. You're...you're brilliant with spells and charms and—you even made that coin for Dumbledore's Army! We would've been lost without it in the end!
no subject
You were there, it's different for you. We all have our different strengths! I'm booksmart. But you - you're really brave and great at Herbology! We would have been lost without you, too!
no subject
You didn't have to be great at Herbology to know about Devil's Snare...and brave? I just...I just had to do something, Harry'd told me to kill it. I wasn't just going to not do it, that'd be like spitting on his grave! I-If he had really been dead, I mean.
