We had been practicing more often now, and frankly, we were stronger. Hagrid was back now and we found out he had been 'partying with the giants' under Dumbledore's orders. There was something coming and we all had to be well prepared.

Amnesty was quiet around everyone except the twins. She could be reading in the common room, quietly, but as soon as the twins came in she would try to converse with them and be touchy. I wondered why she transferred so late. She was a sixth year, meaning one year above me and one below the twins.

"Harry." called Seamus as we were walking to take our seat in the great hall. We all stopped and looked at him. "I wanted to apologize. Not even me mum says the Prophet's version of things don't add up. So, what i'm really trying to say is that I believe you.

"And y/n. I'm sorry for being rude." he said.

"It's alright." I said. "Water under the bridge."

"Are we meeting today?" I asked Harry as we sat and began having breakfast.

"Yeah. Today we'll be doing something different." he said. "It'll be fun."

"Fun?" asked Hermione. "We're not supposed to be having fun."

"I think he meant the spell was fun and just the action of it." I explained.

"Exactly." said Harry. "Thank you y/n."

"Good morning you lot of little fifth years." said George as he took a seat besides Ron.

"Yeah good morning losers." added Fred as he took a seat besides me.

"Good morning thick heads." I said earning a dramatic gasp from them both.

"I was going to give you a good morning kiss but I guess not." teased Fred.

"Shame." I said. He looked at me confused because he expected a different reaction. He then tilted my chin up towards him and placed a soft kiss on my lips. "Anyways, I really don't want to go to Umbridge's class."

"Me neither. That old toad blinds my eyes with all that pink." complained Ron.

"You should see her bloody office." I said.

"Why does someone have so many cats? And in plates?" asked Harry.

"Hey cats are adorable." I said. "But yeah she's an odd one."

"Mass breakout from Azkaban." read Ron. I took the paper from him and read.

"Of course they suspect Sirius." I said. "And there goes Percy."

"He's innocent. And we know that." said Hermione. "That's all that matters."

"You're right." I said.

I looked over at Neville who seemed to have an unreadable expression. I couldn't really tell, but maybe it seemed like he was worried. He stood up and walked out of the hall.

"I'll be right back." I said.

I rushed after him and followed him. He ended up in the Room of Requirements. I walked in and saw him standing by the mirror, looking at the picture of The Order.

"Neville?" I called out and walked to stand besides him.

"Fourteen years ago...a Death Eater named Bellatrix Lestrange...used  the Cruciatus Curse on my parents." he said softly. "She tortured them for information...but they never gave in.

"I'm quite proud to be their son." he said and looked over at me. "But i'm not sure i'm ready for everyone to know just yet."

"They were brave." I said. "And so are you. We're going to make them proud, Neville. That's a promise."
