 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Heath was prepared for the fallout from his answer. He expected to be wrong. He expected to be misunderstood, but having a good point was the last thing he expected! He blinked, surprised by the professor's response, but there wasn't much time to think about it before they were moving on to something else.
Wow, that was… a lot of information to process at once. Heath listened, taking notes as quickly as possible, but he had trouble keeping up. He was glad when the information appeared on the board. So what else did he know about Neville Longbottom?
Heath considered the question. He read that Neville struggled academically and fell short of his family's expectations, and that stuck with him. He knew how it felt to be an outsider in your own family! He raised his hand and said, "Neville's early signs of magic - like wrapping his baby blankets tighter around himself - weren't glaringly obvious, so his family initially thought he was a Squib."
