Don't you think that what happened might have been what Neville would have wanted?
Well, granted, I'm sure he couldn't have wanted what happened in the interrogation rooms. But he chose that, yeah?
I can guarantee you, as a Gryffindor, that if he could have understood what was happening, if he knew he had a chance to take Voldemort down versus being rescued, he would have chosen the first. Don't you think so?
It's right to miss him. It's right to be sad we couldn't rescue him. But he wouldn't have thought you're, I dunno, taking his place. He was happy when your family adopted you.
I know it's cold comfort at best, but I reckon that if you have to lose someone you love, it's better to know it's because he was being a hero for the Order.

We don't have even that.
And let me tell you, it sucks dragon eggs.
