His Father's Wand

[readerravenclaw]

I wrote this a while back, all in one sitting, partly inspired by my essay on Neville's Mimbulus mimbletonia and partly just because I really like Neville as a character. Yesterday I took another look at it and did some rewriting, and I've decided to repost and link to a couple of appropriate fanfic communities

This is beautiful. I love Gran in this piece. Hard-nosed and strict but she loves Neville and is so proud to see what he's grown into. I love how Neville's magic manifests in his being invisible. I love all of this! Well done! :)

She reminds me of MY grandmother. *cries quietly*

Wow. That means a lot to me - that you think that Neville's Gran came across as "real". Thank you for the feedback. :)

Thanks. :) The invisible thing kinda just wrote itself; I had never actually had any theories about Neville's magic manifesting itself by making him invisible, whether in general or specifically when the LeStranges attacked. It just fit into the theme/flow of the story. But now that I've written it, I've become quite partial to the theory. :)

Ah, that makes it even better :). I love when stories take on a life of their own and reveal things you never really meant to write. Again, beautifully done!
