Why this must be read: There isn't a whole lot I can say: it's about Neville and find yourself and Theodore and helping the people you care about become what you know they can. Just go, read it. It's worth it. The entire thing just sticks in your mind. A very well written fic about the characters we don't hear so much about.

Luna has an explanation for everything.

She says that Ron and Lavender are together because, "Ron's fear of commitment is no match for Lavender's feminine wiles."

They practice their hexes and jinxes together, and Luna brings him Muggle sweets when he works in the Greenhouses. She's the one who told him that Theodore Nott was watching him, too.

They had been sitting in the library, reading The Modern Wizard's Complete Guide to Hexing a Nose Off And Other Insults to Follow Through On, and Luna had leaned across the table and whispered quite loudly, "That boy in the Runes section fancies you the way that hippogriffs fancy ferrets."

Neville had flushed right to the tips of his ears. "Hippogriffs don't fancy ferrets," he'd said, rubbing the back of his neck and decidedly not looking over in the Runes section. "They eat them."

Luna had sat back in her seat and given him an enormous grin. "Exactly."

And then the knut dropped, and Neville's palms had started to sweat for an entirely new reason.
