Title: Acceptance Rating: PG Word Count: 200 Warnings: none Summary: Neville writes to Harry about a conversation they might have had, after Harry, Ron, and Hermione discovered the truth about Neville’s parents.
Harry,
I’ve been meaning to talk to you, and I just can’t make myself say the words. But I need to tell you how much it means to me… what we talked about earlier.
The truth is, that I used to be jealous of you, Harry. I mean, sure, everyone knows about your parents and I did all I could to keep mine a secret. But there are fates worse than death, believe me.
I used to wish I was you, because a clean end would have been better for them. I thought it would have been better for me, if they went as quickly as yours. If Gran had been proud of my defeat over You Know Who. If everyone spoke of my name in awe, rather than scepticism then I might have turned out differently.
But you were right. I do get to see them, and every time I do, I know they love me. I can’t imagine growing up, and not knowing what that feels like. I think I’m going to see them more often.
I wanted to thank you. In a way, you gave me my parents back. Because now I appreciate them. So… thanks.
Neville

I've said it before, the realtionship with Neville and his parents breaks my heart especially when I see it written down. This seemed so real, as if Neville himself wrote it, and it is understandable to wish your parents had died rather then what happened to his. Beautiful done, good job!
