#24 Lumos


It was dark. Neville sat in the boys dormitories, sitting up in bed. The rest of the dorm was asleep, but Neville sat up in bed, clutching an aged photograph in his hand. He had been staring at it for so many hours that he hadn’t really noticed that it had grown dark. But now, with the wind beginning to howl outside and the moon covered by cloud, he realised that he couldn’t see the photograph any more.

He reached for his wand, which lay still on his dresser, and took a deep breath. He wanted to create light, without setting fire to the photograph first.

“Lumos,” he whispered, and light flared from his wand tip. He directed the beam at the photo and continued to gaze at it.

Frank and Alice Longbottom waved cheerily at him, a tiny baby Neville clutched in their arms. They would wave, and then bend over the baby and kiss it, looking lovingly at it all the time.

Neville’s face cracked into a smile. The rest of the night, he stared at the picture, and thought of his parents. But they were different now. They were still the same people, but they were absent.
