If he was honest with himself, Harry was somewhat relieved that Neville wished to speak to him. The other Gryffindor hadn't been wrong when he'd said Harry seemed to have a lot on his plate. He did. He was concerned about Teddy. He wasn't sure how best to handle the situation. Teddy seemed to think the entire thing was his fault and Harry knew that letting him believe so wouldn't benefit the younger man at all ... but that didn't mean Harry knew what to say to him to make the situation easier. Then there was Bellatrix. A deep burning anger flared at the thought of her before he was able to smother it. There was still a lingering grudge from years before, which did nothing to calm his nerves now.
Still, he'd promised Teddy he wasn't leaving the Island and he'd promised his mother he'd behave. Stewing over it was not going to help him keep either of those promises. This was why he was grateful for Neville's presence. He supposed that wasn't entirely fair of him since Neville seemed to be having some issues himself. Even though Harry would have happily helped his friend out regardless of what was going on in his own life, he still felt a bit guilty for seeing it as a benefit to himself.
Reaching the diner, Harry made his way inside. Spotting Neville at one of the booths, he headed in that direction before sliding into the spot across from him. "Hey," he greeted, eying the other bloke. He wasn't entirely certain what Neville wanted to speak about, but he didn't look any worse for wear so that was a good sign.
