All right.

My commander has talked to the Healer and Madam Pomfrey, and he's told me to take what time I need.

Fred's been round to cuff talk some sense into me. I'm sorry if I hurt you by staying away, but my thinking wasn't very clear, and I had to figure out some things.

There were all the times that Carrow terrorised and injured me when I was young and all I wanted was a mum or dad to put their arms around me. I'm not going to let that git live in my head by telling me mudbloods like you don't deserve a family when the fact is you picked me to be a Longbottom like the rest of you. I don't have to be without my mum and dad when I'm hurting so bad.

Neville didn't deserve this. But I didn't do this. Voledemort did. I didn't cause this just by being who I am. It sounds funny when you put it like that, but it took awhile to convince myself of that.

I know I'll never, ever replace him, but Mum and Dad, maybe it'd help you if your other son was back with you. Just a little bit. Even if he stays as the Professor a lot at first.

Evelyn and Kevin, I would've done anything to have taken his place, even though I'm not sure I would have been so clever and brave in the way he saved the Order. But at least I can still be a big brother to you, and if it's not the same and I'm not as good, anyway, I'll try. And you'll tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, yeah?

And Nev. I will do everything I can to help you rejoin your family. A family that includes me. I swear it.

So I guess what I'm saying is...can I come home?
