I think I've finally got this thing working. [Neville appears sideways on the screen. He's not holding it right, but give the kid some credit for figuring out this wacky muggle device.]

I've already been told the general gist of what's going on around here. And I've had the chance to experience it a bit for myself. And, well, I want to help if I can. It looks like there's still a lot of questions to be answered about what's happening and if I can do anything- not to mean that you lot haven't been working hard and all. I'm sure you have. It just, you know, an extra set of hands and all that.

[He's beginning to feel a little stupid for making the post, but he needs to feel useful. Being trapped in a new culture with nothing to work towards is testing his nerves.]

I'm Neville, by the way. Neville Longbottom. Anything I could do to help, if you'd let me, I'd be grateful for.

Wherever we go, we've got each other, even if we drive each other up the wall.

[Video]

[madethemproud]

Can you talk to each other?

[Video]

[harpbeat]

Sure.

[He taps his head on the side.] She's up here nagging me right now.

[Video]

[madethemproud]

About what?

[Video]

[harpbeat]

Everything. Scaring guys or something.

Re: [Video]

[madethemproud]

Scaring guys? What have you been doing?

[Video]

[harpbeat]

Mostly, scaring them by talking about my split personalities.

[Video]

[madethemproud]

I guess some guys would be a bit off-put by that.

[Video]

[harpbeat]

It's not like I'm crazy.

[Video]

[madethemproud]

I never said you were.

[Video]

[harpbeat]

I hear that a lot, though.

[Video]

[madethemproud]

You won't hear it from me. I've met people who other's called crazy. And they're some of the best people I know.

[Video]

[harpbeat]

I hear a story coming on.

[Video]

[madethemproud]

Well, er. I guess if you want to hear one.

[Video]

[harpbeat]

I'm a minstrel, I do stories. Go on.

Everyone calls one of the best people I know 'loony', just because she's a bit different. And she believes in some things we're not sure exist. But she's not crazy, she's very brave and intelligent. She's very kind and honest and nice. She helped me and Ginny head the resistance at the school, helped protect those first years. And she fought at the battle at the Ministry. People like that shoudln't be called crazy. She's more of a hero.

[harpbeat]

Do you like her?

Re: [Video]

[madethemproud]

I, uh, well. S-she's one of my best friends, so yeah I like her, but, um.

[Video]

[harpbeat]

Y'know that's not what I meant.

[Video]

[madethemproud]

[He shifts awkwardly.]

Yeah

[Video]

[harpbeat]

Should I hope she comes here and you hook up, or should I hope she stays away and doesn't get involved?

[Video]

[madethemproud]

No. Maybe? I don't know. It depends.

[Video]

[harpbeat]

Not too sure, huh.

[Video]

[madethemproud]

She was missing back home and we were in the middle of a war. So, I don't know if she'd be safer here, away from all that, or there, were she might be with someone who could protect her.

[harpbeat]

Why don't you protect her here?
