I loved the idea of Neville first standing up to his overbearing relatives on the subject of Trevor's name! I could easily see it all happening just this way, with them wanting something more special and Neville having to insist on what he wants. Also liked learning of his first impressions of Hermione, Harry, and Hagrid. :)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

That was very well written, and with the perfect tone for Neville's inner voice. One can only imagine how frustrating it is for Neville to be Neville, and this vignette really lets us see it face on.

I love writing Neville and what it's like to be him! He's one of my favorite characters. :)

This is lovely! I love that Trevor helps Neville feel brave, and I love the way you write Neville's perspective. Thank you so much for sharing!

I adore the title and the concept that Trevor is so symbolic of Neville's Gryffindor heart. This story squeezed my heartstrings, and made me love Neville even more.
