"I think you can't just take their word for it."
"You should know the whole story."
"for example."
"Ask Harry."
Professor McGonagall nodded, understanding what was going on. Knowing what happened was the most important thing.
"Professor McGonagall! Potter is his cousin and will definitely turn to him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received strong rebuttal.
Professor McGonagall: "So. Miss Granger!"
"Miss Beaver and that gorilla are a team!"
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall frowned unconsciously. The terms beaver and gorilla were not pleasant names at all.
However, the five-person team no longer cares about so much. Since the matter has become a big deal, they must get rid of Dursley even if they offend Professor McGonagall.
"I thought we might as well ask the others"
Snape spoke at this time, speaking slowly, and then his eyes fell on Neville, who was bringing Professor McGonagall over.
"For example, this Mr. Longbottom."
The next moment, everyone's eyes were on Neville.
Neville looked a little scared under so many eyes.
Hearing that the question was about Neville, many Gryffindors present breathed a sigh of relief. They were not afraid. Neville was a Gryffindor and one of theirs.
"me."
Timid, fearful, submissive to everyone and everything, and seemingly very easy to bully, this is the image Neville presents to others.
So he was not taken seriously in Gryffindor. Even his surname Longbottom meant "always at the bottom", so he was also nicknamed Mr. Bottom in Gryffindor, just like Miss Know-it-all. At first glance It sounds like nothing, but in fact it is full of irony.
Being able to take the initiative to find Professor McGonagall today was an unprecedented and brave moment.
"Quick! Tell Professor McGonagall and the others that it was that violent maniac Dursley who attacked us."
Seeing that Neville was reluctant to identify Dudley, the fivesome were a little anxious.
Dudley just looked at each other quietly.
Neville began to frown, his lips were trembling, and he seemed to be fighting a fierce battle in his heart.
"Tell me, Longbottom, what are you still thinking about?"
"Tell Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape that it was the gorilla that attacked us."
"How long are you going to wait, you coward?"
"Longbottom, you don't want to do it in the future either."
"."
Seeing that Neville didn't answer for a long time, the five people urged him again, guiding Neville and even threatening him in a low voice.
But the more they said this, the faster Neville's body shook and the tighter Neville's fists clenched.
'No. No, it shouldn't be like this! '
Neville's memory is not very good, and he usually forgets many things, even things he just learned in class, and only Hermione in Gryffindor can patiently teach him, although she often talks a lot. Off topic.
But it is also true that his homework did not take too much away.
It was Harry who gave him a set of experimental equipment and taught him step by step how to operate it, so that he was not scolded by Snape in the subsequent potions class, although he still couldn't do it well in the duo.
Moreover, Dudley would be greeted cordially every time he met him. Only he never called himself "little crybaby". Instead, he called himself Mr. Longbottom with great respect. To put it bluntly, this was the first time someone called him "Mr. Longbottom". Mr. Longbottom.
Neville remembered all these, and his heart was filled with gratitude.
Obviously they are all good people, but why do we treat good people like this?
Unsociable? Slytherin?
No, this is wrong!
Neville said nothing as they hid Hermione's shoes, because he was timid and scared.
When they stole Hermione's textbooks, Neville didn't say anything because he didn't want to cause trouble.
When they knocked Hermione down, Neville remained silent because he was a coward.
When they surrounded Dudley and Hermione, Neville finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he called Professor McGonagall.
But now, they still force themselves to lie
At this moment, the round-faced little boy named Neville Longbottom felt a fire burning in his heart, getting stronger and bigger until it exploded!
Neville kept breathing heavily from his nostrils, glaring at the students from the same college who wanted to conceal and distort the facts.
"It's you! You bullied Hermione!"
"You hid Hermione's shoes!"
"You hid Hermione's textbooks!"
"You were the ones who knocked Hermione down on purpose. I saw it! I saw it with my own eyes! With my eyes!"
Neville told him everything he knew.
And the above are the things that are done centered on this five-person group.
Quiet. Very quiet. Every little wizard present looked at Neville in shock.
Even Professor McGonagall and Snape are no exception.
They didn't expect that Neville, who usually seemed submissive, timid and easy to bully, would say such a thing.
Is Neville timid? Maybe
Is Neville submissive? Maybe
Maybe his memory is not good and he forgets many things, but he is more careful than anyone else and will remember everyone who has been good to him and everyone who has helped him.
In fact, Neville's heart is stronger than anyone else, and also gentler than anyone else.
Neville knew that after what he said today, he might be ostracized in Gryffindor in the future and receive the same treatment as Hermione.
But he still had to say it.
Courage is not about rushing forward in everything, courage is not about being fearless.
Courage is to stand up when it is time to stand up, courage is to face difficulties despite fear.
This is true courage, this is true Gryffindor.
Dudley looked at Neville with great admiration. When they first met, he felt that Neville should exercise with him. The first time he felt that Neville was very suitable to follow him, and now he felt so even more.
As for Neville's submissive character, it doesn't matter. People's characters can be changed, just like today.
Neville's courage proved it.
"Apologise. You all owe Hermione an apology. You all owe Mr. Dursley an apology."
Neville shouted loudly at the other Gryffindor wizards around him.
Since I have said so much, I don’t care about one or two more sentences.
Along with his description, the little wizard who was originally unaware lowered his head in shame. As for whether they were really ashamed or something else, only they knew, and they were just bowing their heads. Maybe there would be a trace of guilt in their hearts. , but it will pass soon.
Apologizing and admitting mistakes also requires courage.
It's a pity. Although we live in Gryffindor, where courage exists, many people obviously don't have such courage.
Dudley looked around at the little Gryffindor wizards. No one dared to make eye contact with him. They all lowered their heads and waited quietly for the two professors to deal with it.
Very boring and very disappointing
Fake Gryffindor, they don't deserve that name.
Neville is the real Gryffindor.
They owe me an apology, they owe Hermione an apology.
How many people in the original novel can really be considered Gryffindors?
