Private message to Hannah Abbott

[alt_neville]

Happy birthday, Hannah.

I'm just...

Wherever you are, I guess you must know why I did it, but I feel like I let you down. Let everybody down, but maybe you the most.

[alt_gredforge]

Hey, Nev. Saw the paper. Dad always says the Daily Prophet stinks.

You all right then?

[alt_neville]

I've had better days.

[alt_gredforge]

Probably. And you'll have better days in the future, too.

[alt_neville]

It's not that I wasn't sort of expecting it. I hoped...

but no, they really couldn't. I made it really easy for them to cut me from the programme.

[alt_gredforge]

Ron said you were doing great until you crashed your broom. Rotten luck, mate.

[alt_neville]

Luck had nothing to do with it.

[alt_gredforge]

So Ron was right? Dean really did deliberately ram into you?

[alt_neville]

Look, it was my choice. Okay? It was my choice.

But just because I chose it doesn't mean I have to like it.

Private message to Fred Weasley and George Weasley

[alt_neville]

And I don't like it. It stinks.

I've said enough. I don't want Ron feeling any worse for me. He should be glad he got in, and not feeling sorry for me.

Wait a minute...you threw the trials deliberately? That's not what I heard from people. They were saying that you--well--

uh

yeah. Didn't fly too hot.

[alt_neville]

Good. Let them go on thinking that.

[alt_lee]

But why, Nev?

[alt_neville]

With all due respect, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, it's none of your bloody business, Lee.

[alt_lee]

Oh.

Uh, okay then.

[alt_ron]

Aw, mate.

I'm sorry.
