I was nervous and extremely worried about how Neville's gran would react to me. Not many people liked me, mostly because I was a Slytherin. They instantly, upon meeting me, would think I was evil and would try to stay as far away from me as possible, the Weasley's being the only family that welcomed me with open arms.

"Stop stressing, Gran will love you. Now she is really strict so, no cussing." Neville said as he took my hand in his.

"No cussing, anything else?" I asked holding my breath.

"No talking about pranks."

"Oh I'm doomed." I said as I grabbed a fist full of hair.

He let out a laugh and pulled my hands away.

"Stop worrying, just be yourself and she will love you. Now we should be arriving soon." He said softly.

I nodded my head and leaned back in my seat, as I stared out the window I felt my heart skip a beat.

I really want this woman to like me, mostly because Neville is one of my only friends, besides from the Weasley's, Harry, and Hermione.

Neville wasn't like them though, he had welcomed me almost instantly upon meeting me. He hadn't once been scared of my house or me.

Not to mention his gran had sent me a photo album with pictures of my mum in it, which was probably my favorite gift.

"We are here." Neville said as he stood up.

I grabbed Moondrop and quickly followed him off the train. As I looked around I spotted a familiar outfit, the same that Neville had imagined on Snape. The woman was tall and mostly very thin and bony. She had long grey hair up in a bun and a feathery hat on.

"Gran meet-"

"Ebony Potter, a pleasure to finally meet you." She said holding her hand out.

"Pleasure is all mine, ma'am." I said as I shook her hand.

"Let's get home, shall we?" She asked softly.

We both nodded our heads and followed her to her car. It wasn't a long ride, they loved maybe ten minutes from the train station. When we made it inside her house, I took my shoes off.

"Neville show her to your room. I hope it's okay that you are running with Neville." Mrs. Longbottom said softly.

"No problem at all. I trust Neville not to be a pervert." I said making Neville roll his eyes.

We carried our bags to his room and I set it down on the second bed.

"This is nice." I said as I plopped down.

"Sorry it is so small." Neville mumbled as he set down beside me.

"It's fine, seriously. I love it. It's cute." I said as I turned to look at him.

He sent me a smile and I jumped up and stretched.

"Want to go outside and ride on a broom?" I asked playfully.

The color from his face drained and I let out a laugh and covered my mouth.

"I'm just joking." I said hitting his shoulder.

"You're not funny." He mumbled.

After a couple seconds he laughed to and I plopped back down on the bed beside him.

Christmas morning came and I plopped down beside Neville. There was three gifts for me, one from my Grangran and one from SB and a final one from Snape.

"Here, I'd like you to open this one first. It's from me." Mrs. Longbottom said softly.

I thanked her and gently opened it to see an album.

"What's-"

"This was your mothers baby book. The one I gave you was from her years at Hogwarts. This one was the one Alice made for your mother. Has pictures of your mother and her family." She explained.

I opened it up and sure enough there was a picture of my mum holding baby me. I smiled as she kissed my cheek and then a man came into the picture. Instantly my eyes went wide as I saw that it was non other that Sirius Black.

"That's-"

"You're Step Father. He and your mother were married five months when your aunt and uncle were killed and he was sent to Azkaban. A shame, I thought he was a nice man." She said shaking her head.

"I never knew mum was married." I explained with a sigh.

"Not many did, it was a shotgun wedding. The war was nearing its end and your mum was scared that she wouldn't get another chance to marry him. So they got married at home with those they loved around them." She said with a small smile.

I looked back at the gift from SB and picked it up. I slowly opened it to see a journal, with my mothers name on it. Instantly my face light up and I opened it to see that it had detailed paragraphs of my mothers life, all the way from her first year to the day before my aunt and uncles' death.

"I can't believe this... this tells me everything I need to know about her." I said with a giant grin.

"That's great. I'm happy for you." Neville said as he sent me a smile.

My last present was from gran and it was clothing, along with Mrs Weasley's homemade sweater that they just sent in the same package.

"Alright, now we must head out. It's time to visit your mother, Neville."

"Could I come? My mum is in the hospital too." I said softly.

"Of course dear." She said with a small smile.

She wasn't as strict as I had imagined, she actually was a lot kinder. Though I do know she can be hard on Neville but I feel like that's because she loves him.

When we arrived Neville decided to go with me to meet my mum first.

"Hi mum, this is my friend Neville." I said as I set on the bed in front of her.

Her hair was shorter now, and it was clear it had been cut.

"He is Alice's son. You'd love him. He is really kind and funny, one of my best friends. Um school is great, well except for the fact Snape won't talk to me. Though I did tell him that I knew he was my dad."

"Snape is your dad?" Neville asked in shock.

"Yep, I know I was surprised too. Anyways, Um I'm no longer taking higher up classes, Dumbledore thought I should take normal classes again, so that I can be with my friends." I said softly.

I gently reached for my mom's hand and she froze up.

"I miss you, mum and I love you." I whispered before standing up and walking out of the room.

We went to see Neville's parents and I saw that his father was similar to my mum, while his mother walked around more. She would hand him wrappers, which I learned he kept with him and had a album full of them.

"She is beautiful." I said as we set down.

"Yea, I miss her. I know little about her. Other than she was an expert in Transfiguration." Neville said sadly.

"She's be proud of you."

"How do you know?" He asked as I turned to look at him.

"Because you are awesome and she would see it too." I said as I gently laid my head on his shoulder.
