"Harry! Neville! James! Dinner!" Lily called
Harry and Neville, who were upstairs playing wizards chess in their bedroom, were starving, and raced down the stairs into the cosy kitchen to find a delicious hot meal awaiting them. James Potter had been upstairs with Sirius working on a project for the order.
"JAMES! SIRIUS! GET DOWN HERE YOU TWO!"
Neville and Harry chuckled at their mother shouting like this. James and Sirius were lucky, because had they been any longer, Lily would come upstairs to find them, and they would be in trouble for not coming downstairs. Sirius walked past ruffling Harry's and Neville's hair.
"Hi, you two, played any tricks recently?"
"Yes! Yesterday we used our exploding snap cards to make mum jump every time she came near them! It was so funny! She poured soup all over herself." Harry answered enthusiastically.
"That's small! You need better bigger pranks guys."
Lily rolled her eyes at James and Sirius's antics and gave them each a bowl of fresh warm pasta.
"What were you working on anyways?" she whispered out of the corner of her mouth.
"Later Lily" James replied
"September the first is coming up! Hoo-gg-waar-tsss!" Lily sang.
"Oh yea! I can't wait to see what house I'll be sorted into!" Neville said.
"Well, we'll just have to wait and see won't we?"
"...Where dwell the brave at heart, their daring, nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart!"
"Guys, if you want to play two side quidditch tomorrow get ready for bed."
Neville and Harry trudged upstairs and pulled on their pyjamas. Harry was picking up his moving figure of Viktor Krum and placing it on his bedside table when he heard Neville say:
"I'm scared to get to Hogwarts, aren't you Harry?"
"Of course, I am Neville. It's scary doing new things."
Harry didn't convey all his feelings to Neville. He didn't say how he'd miss his bed, and his pillow. He didn't say how he'd miss His parents and Sirius. He didn't say how he'd miss the cat. He didn't say lots of things. He bottled all those feelings up and refused to tell anyone. The pair of them raced to the bathroom to brush their teeth and get ready to go to bed.
That night Harry didn't sleep at all. Why had Neville put that into his mind? Why?!
