Neville was completely and utterly confused but he couldn't refuse harry when he was already walking off with his trunk and sack, he grabbed Trevor "bye gran" he said before dashing after the boy. Augusta Longbottom sighed shaking her head as she turned around and wheeled the trolly to the entrance of the station, she could only hope this boy wouldn't be too cruel to Neville. Once he caught his breath and got on the train, Neville caught up with his trunk thief, staring dumbfounded as the boy put his trunk in the luggage rack without any apparent trouble. Harry turned with a smile, gently closing Neville's mouth "You'll catch flies like that, I'm Harry" Harry said "Neville " he said "Neville Longbottom?" Harry asked already knowing the answer "yes" Neville said taking a seat on the other bench "we're god brothers, your mum is my godmother and vice versa" harry explained "really?! I've always wanted a brother " Neville exclaimed.

Harry opened his mouth to speak when the compartment door opened revealing a girl with wild brown hair "Hermione!" Harry internally cheered "congratulations, my love" anubis congratulated. "Oh" Hermione said sadly "looking for a place to sit?" Harry asked mentally jumping for joy, "yes, all of the other compartments I've seen are full of upper years" She said biting her lip nervously "well, were both first years, you can sit with us" Neville said. "Let's get your trunk onto the rack" harry said standing up while Hermione grimaced  "It might be too heavy " she warned as she stepped inside, trunk sliding heavily behind her, harry shrugged and stood up straight "We'll manage" he said grabbing one of the handles.

Hermione looked uncertain but leaned down to grab the other handle, she was a bit surprised and in awe when the trunk her father could barely lift onto the boot went up with ease into the rack. "What are you?" She whispered, harry flushed 'ooops' he stuck out his hand with a massive grin "I'm harry and that's my brother Neville" he introduced causing a small smile to form on Neville's face "I'm Hermione Granger, the first witch in my family" she said,  pride could be heard in her voice "Neville Longbottom, Pureblood, one of the older families" Neville said before they both turned expectant on harry "Half-blood, Harry Potter" he offered, a sigh escaped his lips as Hermione's eyes widened and she looked at him like he was a puzzle for her to solve, Neville it seemed had already figured it out and remained normal.

  "Harry Potter!, I know all about you -" Hermione was cut off " you know nothing about me" harry snapped as the temperature in the compartment fell, "You've read fairy tales and books written by people who have never even seen me, Don't you dare claim to know anything about me" he said "I'm sorry " Hermione whispered with unshed tears in her eyes. Harry sighed, regaining control of his aura as the compartment warmed, he hadn't meant to lose his temper but he was sick if people that claimed to know him just from the deeds he had done especially after the mundane war started. "I'm sorry too, I didn't mean to lose my temper. I'm not a hero like people make me out to be, my mom defeated Voldemort not me, I'm just the baby that survived" he said looking at them, "Your mom defeated you-know-who?" Hermione asked moving forward "yes, when Voldemort came to kill me, he offered to let my mom live, all she had to do was move aside but she refused, when he cast the killing curse at me a sheild sprung up and the curse rebounded" he explained.

"You remember that night?" Neville asked,
"yes, I have a perfect recall of the event from the moment my mom barricaded the door in order to protect me" harry whispered "Those books and stories are wrong " he said before opening his book.
