Neville nodded, "I'll go there and do bit of reading," he said, even as he found himself feeling more comfortable, the notion Head of House running through his head, and he found his serious expression fading as a slight smirk replaced it.
"Oh? They can't be as bad as all that. I thought we left an indelible mark on things, that last year," he said, the smirk growing slightly, "And that was only because we had such large shoes to fill," and Neville knew, he just knew he was slightly baiting Severus Snape; he'd had a bit of practice at it back in the day. And it dawned on him that it might not be the very best way to befriend this older gruff man.
With a bit of a rush, Neville sat up from his leaning and added, "I'll review their cases. I'll become personally familiar with all of them so that they won't cause you much trouble. I can't promise that I'll be able to rein them in completely, but..," and Neville put out his hands, his palms flat, "I'll take care of it before they become too Weasleyish."
