emmagrant01: (Neville little)
[personal profile] emmagrant01
I have pimped this before, back when Rita ([livejournal.com profile] jedirita) was posting the first draft -- and now it's done! This is a gorgeous novel-length Neville-centric story, with adorable Harry/Neville scenes and a dash of Snape/Lupin. It's set during the summer after OOTP, when Neville finds himself staying at Grimmauld Place with Harry and Remus for the summer. I love Rita's vision of Neville here -- he's perfectly awkward and geeky in the beginning, but he grows quite a lot over the course of the summer. The Harry/Neville subplot is delightfully awkward, and the main plot is full of mystery and action. I laughed, I cried -- I love it so much!

She's posting two chapters a week (Mondays and Thursdays), but this isn't a WIP. It's completed; she's just doing a final edit on each chapter as she goes. :-)

Title: Becoming Neville
Author: Jedi Rita
Rating/warning: mild sexuality (boys experimenting), a bit of language, mild violence
Characters: Neville and the Longbottoms, Harry, Lupin, Snape, various Weasleys, Dean, Tonks, and a few original characters for good measure.
Summary: Neville's Gran breaks her hip just after his fifth year at Hogwarts, and he must spend the summer with Harry and Remus at No. 12 Grimmauld Place. He and Harry discover a hidden message in the candy wrappers Neville's mother has been giving him over the years, and they begin to uncover secrets about the past, even as they must confront dangers in the present. Along the way, Neville learns just how much he has in common with The Boy Who Lived, and how to be his own kind of hero.

Oh, I will definetly check out the fic! I love Harry/Neville.

Now that I'm here, I was wondering, would you like to be friends? :) You seem like a cool person and your fics are brilliant, of course.

Even your recs are spot-on!

Thank you! I love this fic so much, and I hope other people enjoy it as much as I do.

Writers block: :-P I'll get past it. Part of it has been feeling yucky because of RL stuff. Thanks for asking, though!
