Harry Potter stunned the last attacker, just as Neville Longbottom let out a cry and collapsed to ground. Harry whirled around white-faced, Neville had been along as a Herbology consultant, there wasn't have supposed to been a fight.

On the ground, Neville clutched at his charred leg.

"St Mungo's" Harry said urgently.

"No!" Neville said.

"Come on, you've got to."

"Can't I just see Madam Pomfrey?"

"One, you're not at school, two it's summer, so she's not there either."

Neville glared at Harry.

"Look," Harry said softly, meeting Neville's gaze. "I won't let them keep you, okay?"

Reluctantly, Neville nodded.

Yeah. I decided for this to lean into Neville having no good memories of St Mungo's.

Thanks for reading.

Poor Neville. :( Understandable it's not his favorite place.

Thank you! :)

Yeah, I've been relistening to OotP recently so "Christmas on the closed ward" was fresh in my memory.
