41. "Thestrals"
Neville watched the Thestrals swishing their tails, and eating the meat Hagrid had just laid down.
Hagrid, Neville thought, was a great teacher, but, unfortunately, he didn't agree with the lesson on Thestrals.
Remembering his Uncle dying was something that chilled him to the bone. After all, other than his grandmother, his uncle had been all that he had left. His parents were never going to regain the sanity; something Neville realised a few years ago, and they never got to say goodbye to his uncle.
Holding back tears as Hagrid asked the dreaded question.
"So, who can see 'em aye?"
Slowly Neville raised his hand... thinking, "why does bad luck always follow me"
