Title: Order of Merlin, First Class Author: pinkelephant42 Word Count: 100 Rating: PG Pairing: Neville/Harry Prompt: "I'd take you where nobody knows you And nobody gives a damn" - from I'll Believe in Anything, Wolf Parade Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, and this is just for fun.
Two medals hung in the study, both Order of Merlin, First Class. One, predictably, announced Harry Potter's name in bold letters (and in a regal voice to anyone who came near it) and the other proclaimed Neville Longbottom, the defender of the weak and defeater of one-seventh of Voldemort's soul, a war hero.
Most of the time, however, the medals sat forgotten in the little-used room. Neville didn't think of himself as a hero, and Harry still tried to be a normal wizard. When they were home, all that mattered was the warm kisses, comfortable conversation, and their life together.
