Re: Neville and ?
"Except that most of us are here," he pointed out, laughing. "Usually people say 'fine, thank you, and what about you?', but you can go with losing your mind. That seems very appropriate considering the people in this room."
James looked over to where Severus was, an then back at Neville. "I'm not sure what's so wrong about that? I like Severus. He's... particular, but he's intelligent, and fun, too."
He shrugged. "Been there, done that, discussion already had. General consensus is you trust or you get out. I have no choice, not really, not when there are so many relatives." He still didn't like that Pettigrew and Selwynn were here, but they weren't getting a choice.
"Painting? What are you doing?" he asked, curious.
