Anthony had sat confused for a minute after Neville had run out. But he couldn't just let him go like that. He had promised to come and be with him for a little bit. And, well, Anthony was a man of his word. He followed Neville out, shortly after he ran out.
It took a minute or so for Anthony to find him, not having seen which way Neville had gone. He had stood at the entrance to the Leaky, looking up and down the street until finally, he turned and looked down the alley, only just realizing it was there. He spotted Neville right away.
"Oh, Neville." Anthony sat down next to the other boy, in basically the same position, except that one arm was now drapped around Neville, his cheek resting on the other's shoulder. He wouldn't say anything until Neville was ready to talk on his own though.
