To meet you again 16
Neville took the seat across from Harry: "You could have answered your owls," he said conversationally.
"How did you find me," Harry simply asked, playing with his folk. "Never expected to be found by you, where is Ron?" he muttered, not sure what to think about Neville's sudden appearance.
He had prepared for Ron to drop by, and he would then explain it in simple terms. They would argue, Ron would make a fuss, but in the end he would understand and still be his friend, from far away, but still his friend. Maybe they could even meet up some time.
But Neville?
He had no doubt who was behind Neville finding him, but he wondered about the purpose.
"Give Ron two more days, and he will be on your tail all the same. He just thinks you deserve a break," Neville explains light-heartedly.
"Welcome there," Camilla greeted Neville with a smile.
"I would like what he had, it looks delicious," Neville replied with ease.
"Give me a moment," Camilla smiled back at Neville and went to make the hot chocolate and the get a nice piece of cake.
For a moment Harry felt a jab of jealousy for Neville. In the end Neville had it all, while Harry just tried to not drown in misery.
"And you think I don't deserve a break?" Harry asked when Camilla was out of earshot again.
"I think you need to hear facts. I think you need to be pulled out of the world of pain you have created yourself for and are now drowning in, and I think that this time it has to be me to tell you what is going on, because only I have the truth you need," Neville stated very clearly and without a hint of doubt.
Harry raised his eyebrow: "Oh really, so first I have the hear from Nott what I am all doing wrong, and now you are going to tell me what lies I tell myself?" Harry's fingers balled around his rings again. "I value you as a friend, and I care deeply for you, Neville, but I believe you have no right to tell me anything," Harry replied is own voice dark and low.
"You act is if you are the only one hurt by this situation. Draco doesn't belong to you alone," Neville said in his honest way, graining on Harry's nerves.
"I am aware of that, but you all made it easy for yourself! Going on with your lives as if nothing happened, Nott most-"
"You have no clue do you? Theo drove himself into exhaustion. At first he tried to stop Draco from dying, then he tried to reverse the spell. He forgot to eat, he didn't sleep- I was the one who took him away. He was so frantic in his worry," Neville said sternly.
"Oh yes, so full of worry he-"
"Here you go dear, hot chocolate and a nice chocolate cake," Camille smiled and put the plates in front of Neville. "Anything else I can do for you?" she asked politely.
"No, thank you, we are fine for now," Neville said and Harry simply shook his head once. He just wanted to get out of here and away from Neville.
"Did Nott come to whine at you for the oh so harsh words I said?" Harry picked up his chocolate and took a sip. Why did he have to listen to this?
"As if," Neville chuckled, "Apparently I'm quite the nag, if need be. And with Theo there is always need, if I want to know anything," Neville explained further.
"Harry, Theo visited Draco four times a week, mostly when you were not there or late at night. Blaise and Pansy? They visited and played with him too. You were never alone in this, you simply turned them away, when they tried to help you," Neville stated once more calmly.
"What? I never did such a thing, you all just went on, left me behind with Draco gone. I was the odd one out," Harry disagreed.
"No, you weren't. You just wanted to be. Ron often enough tried to make you come to game dates. Blaise offered to set you up in his flat and there are many more examples. I can understand why you would think bad of Theodore, he never really offered to help you or showed you his concern, he simply is not the type for that, but he too tried to help, tried to balance the magic out," Neville spoke further.
Harry gulped. He remembered Blaise saying: "You don't have to live in that hovel, my flat is big enough for the two of us and it's even closer to St Mungos." Or Pansy telling him that he needs to spent time as an adult, and therefore he needs to come and have a fun night out with her, and Ron, even Luna, they all had tried. In fact they only had stopped once Draco had improved. It was just that he didn't want to spent time with them, he wanted to hate them and envy them their luck, because his was lost.
"At the moment Draco is in a stasis sleep, from which he can awake, if he wants too. Theo had reversed the obliviation since it was not part of the curses that the finite omnis would have ended. The ipse inclusum is however gone, and Draco's magic is flowing, though Theo managed to cast a spell that should help Draco to hold on to it. What no one can say as of yet, are the consequences of the time shifting curse. It depends on Draco," Neville told him, without Harry having to ask.
Harry nodded.
"There is still hope. Draco is strong, you know this," Neville went on.
"Nott told me, that the hope was only theoretically, and the spell hit him because I was under the influence of misearia maxima. Hope will not be enough," Harry mumbled, hiding his face in his hands. He was sick of hoping. "I don't want to go back. I simply can't care anymore. I don't know who or why Draco was cursed, but really it doesn't matter anymo-"
The slap was unexpected.
Neville didn't like to hit people.
"Really, you can be such a brat, wallowing in your self-pity. Who is this going to help? Yourself? It won't because in a few years you will always regret not taking that chance. You love him," Neville shouted at him.
Harry carefully touched his cheek, it still burned.
"I'm afraid," he whispered. "What if he never will remember me-us? How will I go on? What will happen to me? I feel so unimportant without him, and so alone," he confessed.
"But you aren't, Harry, neither of you are. We care about you and Draco. We all want you back, not just Draco but you too," Neville said and came around the table to hug Harry tightly.
Harry couldn't help himself, he started to cry against Neville's shoulder. He tried to stay strong, like a lone wolf, fighting for his own. But the fact was, that he was part of a pack, and he simply couldn't live without the other part. They were two wolves against all the odds, weak on their own, strong together. He missed Draco's strength and elegance and the love he brought to Harry's life.
"It's okay Harry, let it all go," Neville murmured that and many other useless phrases, while Harry cried on his shoulder and Camilla simply watched on but stayed put.

I like that there's layers to Theo that we don't really get to see. I gives the character the dimension that he didn't have in canon. :)

thanks so much for liking theo!
and yes neville is more level headed, but i also think that due to his distance it's easier for harry to listen and then think, while ron saying the same stuff might just be ignored!
