That touch of panic that the figure might not let go was truly a strike of inspiration. Who wouldn't feel that way? And the though of going to a nurse like that... yikes!
Great idea for how Neville discovered his sexuality, too. Very enjoyable fic :-D
My bonus points go to the bit of dialogue at the end. That is a perfect example of how much you can say with a few sentences - and even without saying it outright.
