Neville's POV
Members of the Ministry were questioning Y/n about everything that happened, she seems to be calm and I know she is doing her best to remember any details that would help the Ministry. When I was questioned I kept having breakdowns, my Gran kept telling me that I had no right to be upset about what happened to Y/n. I wasn't allowed to feel sad because if I knew how to use spells Y/n wouldn't have been distracted by protecting me. It hurt knowing that it was my fault.
Soon Y/n was finished answering the questions and the hospital let her leave, we went back to the Weasley's house where they were letting us stay until school started again.
We sat in the girls room and talked. Hermione was looking through books to see if she could find anything on the phase that Y/n heard before she woke up.
"Okay real talk, Neville got tall and hotter" She said grinning. Harry started laughing, Ron had juice shoot out his nose and I started coughing and making a fool of myself after taking a sip of water.
Your POV
I looked at my friends sheepishly.
"Sorry, was that too forward?" I asked softly as everyone recovered.
"Just a bit" Fred and George said simultaneously. I jumped up and hugged them both.
"We're glad you're okay" They both said. I smiled.
She's getting stronger we need her.
I turned around.
"What was that?" I asked. Everyone looked confused.
"What was what?" Hermione asked.
"Who's getting stronger?" I said. They all still looked discombobulated.
"No one said anything, Y/n are you feeling okay?" Ginny said.
"I'm grand" I said before seeing my owl out the window. I walked over and collected the letter that he had for me.
I opened it and started to read it. I gasped and ran to my bag searching through it rapidly.
"No no no no no" I chanted and poured all the contents of my bag onto the floor searching through the mess.
"What's wrong, what are you looking for?" Harry asked.
"I-Its something Dumbledore gave me before I came to Hogwarts, he said when the time is right it will prove itself useful to my heart. He wouldn't tell me what he meant but...I just need to get it back." I said and grabbed my skateboard. I turned to walk away but Neville pulled my arm to stop me. He was holding the letter.
"You are not going alone, I won't let you" He said.
"Sorry Neville but none of you are coming with me, having people with me won't keep them from hurting me and they certainly won't care about hurting my friends either. I'm going alone" I said
Everyone started to argue about me going back by myself and by the end Neville won.
"Fine but only 3 of you are coming and you have to stay outside" I said to Hermione. She nodded.
"Deal" she said and we left. Neville Harry and Hermione came with me to get the pendant Dumbledore gave me.
We took a bus to the nearest stop to my house then walked up the street. It was quite dark by the time we got to the front door.
"Wait here" I said going to open the door but Harry and Neville stayed next to me.
"Guys the deal was you stay here" I explained. Hermione shakes her head.
"You were looking at me when you said I had to stay outside" she smirked. I sighed and opened the door walking in with Harry and Neville.
"The bitch is back" my mother yelled so my father could hear from upstairs.
"And two boys on your arm, is that how you're making your money. How much does she charge?" She cackled.
"I-I just want m-my pendant" I stuttered hating that I sounded so weak and scared. My father came down the stairs.
"You come crawling back now that you need something, you ungrateful little slut." He yelled making me flinch. Neville looked unbelievably angry.
Neville's POV
It all happened so fast. Her father pinned her against the wall squeezing his hands around her neck.
"Don't...even think about trying to help, take one step and I'll crush her airway" he spat. I couldn't just stand there and do nothing.
"S-STOP". He just laughed.
"Look this loser is trying to stand up for you. You and your friend will leave if you know what's good for you" He hissed.
"LET HER GO" Harry yelled. He loosened his grip and she gasped for air falling to her knees.
"Aww isn't that sweet someone actually cares about the little freak" He laughed and her mother cackled.
"We all care about her, she doesn't deserve your abuse. She doesn't deserve the pain you cause her." I growled.
He laughed and stepped closer to me, I put my fists up prepared to fight him.
"Neville d-don't" Y/n choked out, she sounded so broken. He grabbed my collar going to punch me. Y/n stood up and tried to pull him away from me.
"Please don't hurt him" She cried. He slapped her across the face and punched me as Harry jumped on him. Soon Harry and I were on the floor, I had a broken nose and Harry had blood trickling from his lip and cheek.
"Y/n this all could have been avoided if you didn't bring your friends to help you" her father smirked and punched her a few more times before throwing her. Harry and I crawled over to her holding her close to us.
"Its my fault, I'm so sorry" she whimpered as we helped her up. Hermione managed to get Mr Weasley to come. He used magic on her parents then erased their memories. Harry got the pendant and we left.
Mr Weasley healed us the best he could but Y/n still had multiple bruises. Y/n blamed herself for what happened so we all tried not to talk about what happened when she was around.
We both had nightmares about what happened but we found that when we slept cuddling each other we could sleep peacefully. I was worried that when we got to Hogwarts we wouldn't continue comforting each other.
