@HarryPotter_DT โโso youโll just chew it up right before you go in..! Simple.โ
Neville struggled to choke out an explanation as they ran first through the castle, and then across the grounds to the lake.
He sounded less-than sure, almost like he was trying to convince himself as well as Harry.
@HarryPotter_DT brandishing the slimy clump once more.
โโand here it isโฆ Gillyweed!โ
He waited for applause, but Harry still looked confused, so he pivoted.
โNevermind, Iโll explain along the wayโฆ weโve got to get you down to the lake now!โ
@HarryPotter_DT Nevilleโs face fell slightly, but he gestured again to the clump in his hand.
โDonโt you seeโ? This is the solution! I overheard you lot last night, and I just thoughtโฆ but I didnโt want to get your hopes up unless I could find itโฆ but I could..!โ
He grinned again, ~~
@HarryPotter_DT much timeโฆโ
He was already half dragging Harry up before the boy who lived could fully understand.
โโthe second task is starting any second, but Iโve figured it out..!โ
Neville proudly displayed the slimy green glob in his palm, his eyes fixed expectantly on Harryโs.
@HarryPotter_DT Neville rounded the corner, finding Harry exactly where heโd been the night beforeโฆ oh dear.
โ๐จ๐๐๐โ H- Harry?โ
He didnโt stir. Neville straightened his shoulders, gathering his courage, then shook Harry slightly.
โ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐!โ He managed louder โWake up, we donโt have ~~
@Abbott_DT Neville smiled in genuine, remembering the ball. It seemed so far away now, looking back from this little corner of the partyโฆ
โYeah, loads of funโฆ canโt think of a time Iโve had more!โ He chuckled.
@Graham_HP yeahโ no thanks..!โ, she answered simply with a little shake of her head, then gave his bicep a firm little ๐๐๐ก ๐๐๐ก before he could respond.
โโฆMust run!โ
@Graham_HP Hattie swallowed the mouthful of amber liquid behind her lips, craning her neck slightly to take in the large man with narrowed eyes. She scanned from his face to this shoes, then back again, her expression pensive, as she seemingly mulled it over.
โhmmm๐๐๐โ
~~
@AshdownSpark_HP She shrugged, mentally already having moved on from the topic.
โNo matter, Iโm going either way... whereโs your sense of adventure, Fan?โ
Her eyes sparked with the promise of adventure. It was a somewhat public wedding reception, so there was no real harm in their attendance, ~~
@JackB_HP She laced her arm through his, releasing a scoff.
โYou act as if iโm not going to simply bite them directly off the vineโฆโ
Hattie gave him a sly smirk.
