I see you're back again. I can show you hundred and thousands of What if scenarios and yet you want to go ahead with this one?
I suppose I can narrate young Neville's first year if you're so wanting.
Here we go.
We left of when the young ones were getting their Hogwarts Letter and now we go on on the trip to Diagon Alley
It had been a few weeks before Neville's trip to Diagon Alley and Neville doesn't know why it took so long(don't ask me anything, I'm not giving away anything)
When Neville finally reached Diagon Alley with his Gran, Augusta Longbottom. As they walked down the streets, freshly coming back from Gringotts, the wizarding bank which no one tries or has succeeded to steal from.
Their, he saw Augusta taking a pouch which didn't belong to them, but Neville ignored it and when they made it outside, Neville was given his Hogwarts Items List and strictly told not to loose it and buy everything before Augusta had to go for an errand, saying she'd be back way before Neville was done shopping.
When Augusta left, Neville cheered to himself and jumped up and down and nearly lost the list of Hogwarts items.
. . .
When Neville's Hogwarts list was safely tucked in in his pocket, he began going to one of the shops. As he was going, he bumped into a girl and they both fell down. The girl had dirty blonde hair which was a bit frizzly. A rubber band lay next to her, Neville thought that she had tied her hair in a bun so it wouldn't show as frizzly.
She had gray eyes which reminded him dark cloudy days on the beach. It was the best at those times, no one was around and Neville liked being alone sometimes. She had slight freckles on her face which were barely visible if you weren't close to her.
Neville blinked and then remembered his list. Quickly he searched his pockets to find it and then found it. He sighed with relief and got up, helping the girl stand up.
The girl looked at her, "You're Neville Longbottom!" She exclaimed. Neville sighed and nodded. "I didn't see your scare, just wanted to mention." She said. She had a vague dreamy voice and yet was down to earth as well.
Neville looked at her curiously, this girl was getting weirder and weirder. Neville smiled at her. "What's your name?" Neville asked the girl. Before the girl could respond, a boy shouted his name.
Neville turned around to see Ron Weasley waving at him and gesturing Neville to come inside. Neville looked at the blonde girl who was making her hair into a bun . "Sorry, I have to..." Neville began and waved goodbye at the girl. The girl smiled and watched Neville walk away.
Before going inside the shop Neville looked back to see the girl sighing, then shrugging and jumping away happily. Who was this mysterious girl? Neville thought as he looked away and went inside the shop.
