Neville took a shaky breath. He hated feeling helpless, like he couldn't do anything. It was why he joined Dumbledore's Army, why he took over in seventh year, why he'd been compelled to try and contact someone outside. He knew in a lot of way's it was a flaw, but he accepted that. "I wish I could. So much Ant."He rubbed the other's back. "I'd do anything to make you feel better."
He wasn't sure why he was so compelled to make Anthony feel better, to protect him, and keep him safe but he did, and while Anthony was the one on his mind, he knew that he wasn't the only one. He' do the same for any of his roommates, Luna, Ginny, Bill, and especially Demelza.
