| Interesting perspective. I haven't thought much about Neville's reaction to all of this, and it was left off the pages of HBP. You did a fantastic job displaying the emotions of a character who is so brave and yet very vulnerable. You make me want to read more about him, and see what he has inside. Well done. |

Thanks. You are right in that he is mis-understood. I hope you read the next one. This in turn, explains why he was so upset. If you did, I hope you enjoyed it.

| I like that Neville had an outlet to place his memories of that night. Then the comments from his roommates gave him some confidence, that was great. Fantastic job! |

| Thanks for your review. And sorry for not getting back to you before. I had to give the poor chap something to look forward to. After that night, I thougt he needed it. |

| I'm so glad that Neville was able to extract a sense of pride pride and a nugget of hope and self-respect at the end of your chapter. He was marching down a very dark path there! It's understandable that a character like Neville, who seems to be awkward and the butt of jokes, would place a huge value on others' perceptions of him (Seamus and Dean, in your case). I like that point you made because it really highlights the differences between Harry (who could really give a flying leap what most other people think of him except his close friends) and Neville. Makes you wonder what really would've happened if Voldy had decided to visit the Longbottoms that October night, doesn't it? |

| I must say It always surprises me what readers find in my fic's,LOL. I was feeling abit down when I wrote this one,lol. (PS had just told me my first ever fic was rubbish and wouldn't get picked up.lol) After many rude words and spell checks I wrote this one. thinking "See if you like this one." The first draft was alot darker, after chopping and some pre-beta work the first two got picked up, I hope you like the last two as well. |

I enjoyed that. Neville has always been a solid character and it was nice to see his point of view on something.
Plus, it was well written to boot. |

Thanks alot, I always find it hard to accept when readers say it was well written. Thank you anyway. I hope you enjoy the rest. I'm sure nobody has written the next few chapters that I have written so it should be fun to see the reaction. I hope you like the rest of them. Once again thank you. |

Things will indeed turn out OK after all, Neville - I'm sure of
it. If not, I'm jumping on a plane to Edinburgh to strangle Jo -
or maybe not, you know what I mean. I can't see anything else
happening. Love must be "the force he knows not" and as we know,
love conquers all. Even the worst evil imaginable.
Wonderful chapter, I'm happy Neville managed to get out of his
self-depreciating tone and find the more confident one - even
compassion for Bellatrix. That says something about his heart and
his ability to love. Wonderful.
Thanks for sharing!

I'd jump on the plane with you, but the restraining order forbids me to. Apparently she didn't like all those banners of give Neville a break. And who could forget Voldie for Prime-Minester. ( No sense of Humour,lol.). Did I say thank you for reviewing? Yes I liked this one I was in a bad and sullen mood when I wrote this one. If it wasn't for Tante, I bet I wouldn't be getting this wonderfull review now, LOL. I hope you like the others. Hopefully you be surprised who I choose to write about, and their veiws. Once again thank you for reviewing. |

| Nice work. Its a welcome change to see Neville's personal
reaction to the fight in the Dept. of Mysteries. I can't wait to
see the others thoughts as well.

| I thought he was under-represented, LOL. So I thought I'd give him something to say. I hope you like the next one. Once again thank you for your review. |
