A LUPIN, A BLACK AND A POTTER
The funeral was short but sweet The funeral was short but sweet. There was a few small speeches and a muggle song was played, Neville could still hear it in his head You are my sunshine my only sunshine It fitted his cousin perfectly. She was always bright and cheerful, according to Xeno she always helped out in the aftermaths of battles in the war, handing out hot chocolate, blankets and cheery smiles. Her grave was covered in sunflowers, her favourite. The grave was a simple white marble the inscription read: Here lies Marianne Summer Lovegood 1959 – 1990 Beloved wife and friend May she always shine Neville practically lived in his greenhouse. Xeno in his office. It wasn’t until Mrs Weasley pulled them out and gave them a lecture. It didn’t work, so in the end she came in every day leaving meals out for them. They always ate in silence. The summer went quickly and so did the autumn, and the winter, and then the spring. Neville and Harry had turned eleven when the letters arrived. Remus and Dora decided to take Ron, Hermione, Harry Neville and Luna shopping. Luna only wanted to come because she’s been saving up for a book she’s been wanting. The shopping trip it self went without a problem, when they went to gringotts they bumped into Hagrid who was holding a grubby package, when they went to madam Malkins for robes they bumped into a vile boy called Draco Malfoy. When they got their wands Olivander said something about Harry’s wand being the brother of Voldemorts. Then he added something about Neville’s “Curious… how this one has a wand eerily similar to Mr Potters isn’t it?” Harry made a mental note about that. They got their books and parchment and quills when Remus and Dora stopped outside of a pet shop “I believe we have a promise to keep.” Remus said “an owl and a cat” Harry and Hermione flew in searching high and low for their new pets. Harry found a snowy owl with amber eyes that he promptly named Hedwig. Hermione found a large ginger cat with a squashed face that was already named crookshanks. Then September the first came. Mrs Weasley was attempting to wipe of the dirt mark on Ron’s nose, Ginny was crying, the Weasley twins’ friend set his tarantula on a girl and Percy was shouting himself hoarse. “Goodbye son” Xeno said giving Neville a one armed hug “send me an owl as soon as you can” “Will do Xeno” Neville promised “And don’t lose Trevor, your great uncle Algie would be heartbroken if you do” “goodbye Mione” Melanie said pulling the bushy haired girl into a hug “don’t let the snakes get you down, write if there’s any problems and keep Harry out of trouble” “I will” Hermione promised Sirius picked up Hermione and whirled her round “Listen up Padfoot junior the Weasley twins have given me and Moony the map last year, we want you and Harry to have it. So play lots of pranks, get great grades in transfiguration and do your mothers proud” “I promise” Hermione whispered “You too prongslet” Sirius said ruffling Harry’s hair Dora and Moony directed the four onto the train “Be good” “But not to good” “Make snivellus life hell for me” “Good luck” Luna blinked “be careful Harry….there’s something in Hogwarts that may cost you your life. Author’s note: the end. Thank you all that have reviewed, please do one more before I can even think of doing the sequel.
