| Lizzy sat up late into the night after her detention, looking through all the photo albums which she had borrowed. She noticed how the pictures in his first year and after he had defeated Voldemort were when he looked happiest. The other times Harry always looked like he had a huge weight on his shoulders.
The picture of the snowball fight was in the sixth year album and there was a continuation of the photo where Harry had fallen asleep in Neville�s lap and then of Neville carrying him back into the castle after the fight. The earlier photo were mainly of Harry with his friend Hermione and Ron while later ones included the members of a club which Harry and Hermione had started called DA as well as members of the Order of the Phoenix. However the photos from the end of Harry�s sixth year and the beginning of seventh were where he looked the happiest. The link between all these photos was that he was always in Neville�s arms or touching the other man in someway, holding his hand, arm around his shoulder. Harry seemed truly happy when he was with Neville and it was the same for Neville. She couldn�t understand why he would have wanted to give that up. Other then the photos there was also a collection of newspaper and magazine clippings in the back of each book from that year. Many of them were by a woman named Rita Skeeter who seemed to love just starting and spreading rumours to turn people against Harry and his friends. Lizzy spent hours reading through the different articles about Harry. Until she found one that was different from the others. It was a clipping from Witch Weekly, but instead of it being an interview about Harry it was about Neville. The article was titled; The strength behind the-boy-who-lived, most of the page was taken up by pictures of Harry and Neville together but the article was about Neville, the journalist, Katie Quinn, had obviously interviewed Neville as it was just a series of Questions and Answers rather the a proper feature article. Halfway through the article however, she found one question that caught her eye. Katie Quinn: What about children? Neville: Well yes, I would have loved children of my own and if there was a way for us to have them then I would take that chance, however I would rather have Harry then a child any day. It didn�t make sense, if he had wanted children so much then why did he abandon her father? |
