Personality

Neville has low self esteem and is often too hard on himself. He's very timid and shy and is easily nervous. He doesn't have the best of memories and even a Rememberall doesn't help beyond just confirming what he already suspects. He's not the smartest man around, having only passed most of his OWLs with hours of studying and D.A. practice. He's also quite clumsy more often than not. However, despite his timid nature, and lack of academic achievement, he is quite dependable. He is brave when he needs to be, never running when others need him. When he has a goal, he is determined to reach it, no matter how much work it takes. He's an extremely loyal and caring friend and he's not afraid to ask for help when he needs it and offer it when he can. When something is truly important, he never forgets it. Though, it usually has to be important for others to count. He's rather hopeful for the future of others. He wants to believe others can succeed and be happy. However, when it comes to himself, he's a little less optimistic. He thinks he'll end up failing horribly and dishonoring his family and never get married and all that. He works hard for that to not happen, but he still expects it. Neville's true mental strength is plants. He can find out most anything on plants with magical properties. He can tell when the plant would be most potent, when it blooms and withers, and all sorts of facts. He enjoys learning about them and growing them. He hopes to become one of the best herbologists. He's chosen to work at Saint Mungo's because he's happy to know that the plants he helps grow and harvest are used to help those who are sick and injured. He's not much of a fighter, but to help healing is good enough for him. Most of his nervous habits, like stuttering, have died away, but sometimes they will return. Such as meeting with Snape again. However, the more common nervous habit he has now is fiddling with a chain of gum wrappers in his pocket that he made from the wrappers his parents gave him.

Psychology

Extrovert/Introvert:He's an introvert. He's very shy and timid. He was like that before he came to Hogwarts and when he arrived, the teasing from other students and the failures in many of his classes made him all the more nervous. In result, his clumsiness would happen more often. Though, after his fifth year, he did start to feel the bravery of being a Gryffindor more often and he's had a major boost from his Order of Merlin award. He's still usually quite timid though. Boggart Would Be: Neville's boggart has changed a few times. At first it was Snape, but threw the years, that fear faded and moved to his parents disowning him as the war approached and he feared disappointment. Then it changed to himself becoming what he hated most. That he would become a Death Eater. However, it has changed again to the one thing that has hurt him the most in his life. The thing that took away his parents mind and what he believes took them away finally. The person who just refused to stay away. His boggart is the thing he hates most, but also fears. His boggart is Bellatrix Lestrange. Patronus Would Be: His patronus is a hedgehog. A shy animal, but one that can and will fight if there is a need for it. They keep low and out of the way mostly and live among the plants. Truly, Neville is like a hedgehog.

Sexuality

He's had some small, school year crushes on Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley, but other than the one date to the Yule Ball with Ginny and the date for the bachelor auction, he hasn't had all that much dating experience. As far as he knows, he is heterosexual.

Lifestyle

Occupation: Resident Herbologist at Saint Mungo's Apothecary. Residence: A modest flat in London that's full of dozens of different plants. Trevor is also there. Financial Status: Like most of the pureblood families, there is wealth tied to the Longbottom name. He has access to the Longbottom vault, but he prefers to work and keep his life simple.

Family

Parents: Frank and Alice Longbottom. (Both deceased.) Siblings: none Neville lives with his grandma. Gran encourages Neville to exceed expectations, strive for improvement, to become one of the best wizards alive today. She will sometimes be a little bit too focused on this rather than on what Neville wants. Neville always tries to make her proud and gets down on himself when he fails, but beyond this, they do care about each other greatly. Though Neville isn't quite like the rest of his family in respects of magical talent, he still gets along with them most of the time and loves them all dearly.

History from student days at Hogwarts to the present time

When Neville first began school, he was seen as a bumbler. Many thought he wouldn't amount to much. After all, he was said to be almost a squib and he couldn't even keep tabs on his toad Trevor. However, through the years, he has shown to have bravery by always going to Potions despite the verbal abuse he suffered from Snape and the Slytherins, and standing up against his friends when he needed too. He would stand up when others wouldn't, even if he did mess up. He's made friends with his fellow Gryffindors despite his social awkwardness and is glad of it. He was a bumbler for years, never seeming to be good at much of anything other than Herbology and barely scraping by with passes in the other classes. Then year five came and he reached a mile stone in his life. Neville believed Harry about Voldemort. He saw Cedric dead and he knew Harry wouldn't lie about something like that. The papers talked bad about one of his friends and their headmaster who his Gran always spoke so highly of. Then Umbridge came and started teaching them things even Neville himself thought too simple. When he heard about the formation of a Defense Against the Dark Arts group Harry, Ron, and Hermione were making. The friends he had admired for years and they thought he was good enough to be invited. Of course he accepted. He wanted to learn to be able to fight. It was those lessons that was the first time ever Neville truly understood how to perform the spells. It took a lot of practice out of class, but he learned to disarm, stun, and so much more. He even started to make a Patronus, even if it was a wispy mist. He was actually of help when they went to the Department of Ministry. In fact, he was one of the last standing! An impressive feat even though it was quite scary at the time. He was proud of that time. He was able to do justice to the legacy his parents left him. He was able to save his friends. He actually felt like he could do what he needed to protect those he cared about. Even with the D.A. disbanded the next year, Neville kept practicing the spells, not wanting to lose anything he learned. When it came to the battle at the end of the school year, he actually caused some damage before he taken out of the battle. Neville joined in the war against Voldemort. He doesn't remember them very clearly as they just seem to blur together with ups and down, wins and losses, and eventually joining the Order of the Phoenix. One of the few clearly remembered battles is when he had helped with the capture of Bellatrix Lestrange. After Bellatrix was deemed insane and was transferred to Saint Mungo's, he was more frustrated than he had ever been. This woman who had tortured and murdered countless people, as well as driving his parents insane, was deemed not responsible for her actions! Then came the death of his parents so soon after her arrival and there was not even a real investigation. He supposed not knowing his parents as well as others was probably why it didn't hurt quite as much as he expected. Though, it still hurt and he disappeared for about a month, only mailing back letters to assure everyone he was still alive with short sentences of 'I'm fine' or something of the like. When he returned, it was almost like he never left, acting the same as he always had. After Voldemort was finally defeated, Saint Mungo's offered him a job as an apothecary. He took it for three reasons. One was because plants truly was his only real talent. The next was he could be a real help to people in this time of peace. Finally, he wanted to find out proof of whether or not Bellatrix had indeed killed his parents and make sure she did nothing else. Of course, that's harder now that she's free. He still works at Saint Mungo's for his other reasons. For his capture of Bellatrix, he has received an Order of Merlin and is quite proud of it. He was also elected one of Britains most eligible Bachelors and even participated in an auction where someone bought a date with him to his embarrassment. Though he continues his work with Saint Mungo's, he also has a side project with Snape concerning a hybrid of Mimbulus Mimbletonia and aloe. He's still going through the trial and error of making the sap suitable for potion making to help cure wounds for Lyncathropes. Though the meetings are quite awkward and Snape makes Neville feels like he's in school again, he's enjoying the project. The tips on business aren't so bad either if he could only remember them. Though much of his free time is going to perfecting his hybrid, he enjoys some free time watching the muggle television, listening to the radio on current events, and some bonding with Trevor, even though the frog isn't quite so perky as it once was.
