WHO Nevvums and his mam Alice WHAT Random meeting WHEN February 1, 1979, late afternoon/early evening WHERE Honeydukes, Hogsmeade RATING/STATUS PG/Incomplete
It was Friday afternoon, and Neville had gotten out of his classes early. He knew that Frank would not be home then, and although he had a key, he didn't particularly care to be there by himself all that much. He loved Frank's place - something about being where his dad was was very comforting - but he had spent many an afternoon alone there in the past couple weeks since he'd moved there, and was tired of all the quiet. So he figured he'd spend the afternoon in Hogsmeade amoung the hustle-and-bustle. Not that there was much hustle or bustle when he trudged down to the village, as people were hardly even out of work yet, but it was still fairly busy.
The first place he visited was Zonko's, for reminiscing purposes, but he didn't buy anything there. He had limited funds until he got a job, which he'd do after hew took his N.E.W.T.s with the other 7th years in June, so he'd just pass on the joke supplies until later. One place he did want to go, though, was Honeydukes. Neville had always had a sweettooth, and he hadn't had any candy at all lately. It was time to stock up.
A gust of wind blew up, and he ducked his head to avoid it, which effectively blocked his view of where he was going. He knew the way, so the only thing he had to do was keep from running into anyone. Easier said than done, with Neville. He crashed into someone and automatically reached out to steady whoever it was. His eyes widened when he saw that it was none other than Alice, his soon-to-be mum.
"Oh, sorry, Alice," he apologized. It took him about two seconds to realize they hadn't met, so he shouldn't know who she was. Crap.
