Title: Heroism Question
Author: celandineb
Fandom: HP
Character: Neville
Rating: general
Length: 150 words
Summary: Neville is interviewed by the Daily Prophet the day after the Battle of Hogwarts.
Note: For pegkerr from aome, who suggested Neville, "proud/pride".
The aftermath of the battle and the next few days were a blur to Neville, but one moment stood out sharply from all the muddle.
The Daily Prophet reporter poised his quill and cocked his head at Neville. "How do you feel as one of yesterday's heroes?" he asked. "Happy? Proud? Relieved? All of the above? Our readers will be curious to know."
Neville shook his head slowly, unsure how to describe his roiling emotions. "Not proud. Relieved, I suppose."
The reporter gave a sympathetic nod and scribbled Neville's response before asking a few more questions.
Afterward Neville considered the matter again. Proud? Pride was the furthest thing from his mind. He had done what he had no choice but to do; it didn't seem right to take pride in that. He wondered if that was how Harry felt, too, and decided he would talk to Harry about it soon.
