Neville kept in good contact with Harry,Ron and Haromine while they were away, trying to destroy all the dark lord's horcrux's. He missed them quite a bit...everyone did, after all he was the choosen one and was quite popular with everyone. Neville was always a noble and loyal friend to the trio and would do anything for them. Neville heard a bit of a buzz around the school about a muggle carnival comming to Hogsmeade, and it wouldn't be the same without his friends there to join the fun and hang out for the first time together this school year. It had been sometime since Neville and Harry exchanged owls to one another, and then Neville quickly got a thought in his head. He went over to his nightstand and grabbed a piece of parchment and his quill and started to write to Harry. Harry,
I hope all is well with you guys , and you are all greatly missed. I'm writing to let you know that there is an event comming to Hogsmeade, and I have a way for you to come and get away from the stess for awhile.
Meet me at the Hogsmeade gate in 3 days, and don't forget you cloak of invisibility Harry. I will be waiting there with a nice, good o'l batch of polyjuice potion, and I will choose the people myself...no one will ever know it's you guys.
I hope you can make it, and I look forward to seeing you
Your friend:
Neville LongbottomWhen Neville was finished, he folded the parchment into four folds, and then put it in an envelope and sealed it tightly. He called for an owl, so it could deliver his letter right away and once it came rather quickly the owl snatched it directly from Neville's fingertips, nipping him rather sharply and took off with the letter for Harry Attachments:

Ron had ready the letter over a number of times with Harry. At event and polyjuice potion. Both males wanted to go. But it was so risky. Ron was torn. He went between wanting to go and not wanting to. Could they really afford to go? There was so much to be done. But at the same time, they need to be able to have a little fun sometimes.
Ron continued to seesaw about it until the morning they were supposed to Alright," He said at breakfast. "We'll go, yes?" He looked at Harry. Ron only hoped the Neville knew what he was doing with this. Ron got dressed and ready to go and then when Harry was ready, they left the house under the invisibility cloak and appariated to Hogsmeade.

Harry was excited when he recived his letter from Neville, as it was sometime since they had talked. Harry read it over and over with Ron and couldn't figure out what this event was. He thought for a minuite that Neville could have been put under a spell to trick Harry to comming to Hogsmeade.
They pondered over it for a couple of days, just right before the day they had to leave. Harry kept looking over at ron in hopes that he would make the first move. It did sound quite exciting though they way Neville worded his letter.
"We'll go..yes?" Ron asked Harry. "Why not..we'll go...go get dressed and I will get the cloak" he ordered Ron. Harry was quite excited about going back around Hogsmeade because he knew that Ginny would be there, if Neville told her that he was comming.
Harry grabbed his wand and his cloak and turned around and looked up the stairs. "Today Ron would be nice", he joked at him. As a few moments went by they were ready to go and meet Neville. Harry wrapped his cloak around them both and looked at Ron, "Please whatever you do...try not to get splinched Ron..." Harry said to him as he took his hand and they apparated just outside of Hogsmeade.

Neville hadn't heard anything back from Harry about comming and making an appearance at the carnival, but he had a pretty good feeling that he was going to be comming anyways. Neville knew that he had some prepping that he needed to get done with these polyjuice potions.
Neville took the 2 bottles of potion and put it in his backpack, and headed for Hogsmeade. He wanted to pick two people that woulnd't make anyone suspicious about them being there. He didn't want anyone too old because that would look funny, two anciant old people on a roller coaster would cause some attraction, and he didn't want anyone that people would know so he had to be carefull...but this is Neville that we are talking about here...the king of mess up's.
Neville was walking behind these two men which seemed to be in their late 20's and he studied them thirley, and noticed that on both of their cloakes were strands of hair. "Perfect", Neville thought to himself as he looked around to make sure no one was looking before he took the strands of hairs off of their cloaks.
The coast was clear and Neville reached out quickly and grabbed the hair off of the two men, and then dashed to the alley way to put the hairs inside each bottle. Once there, Neville un corked each bottle and put one of the hairs seperate inside of each of the bottles. He put the corks back on the bottles and shook them vigorously and put them back inside his bag and started to head back to Hogwarts to get ready for the Carnival tonight.

"Please whatever you do...try not to get splinched Ron..." Harry had told him and though Ron had scoffed at his friends words. He did remember when he had gotten spinched. Painful...that... He was careful though he tried not to make it too noticeable to Harry.
When they arrived at Hogsmeade, Ron stood close to Harry. The cloak was just barely reaching the ground and it would not be good for a passerby to notice two sets of feet and nothing else. Ron motioned for them to move towards Hogsmeade gate as Neville had instructed. He had hoped that Neville would be here waiting for them but the other boy was nowhere to be seen. Ron worried that something may have happened.
'Where is he?" Ron whispered to Harry. Ron glanced around. He saw students that he knew from Hogwarts and some of the professors. Ron pulled Harry back to stand at the side of the gate to make sure they were not bumped into. The sun was setting and Ron could smell the scent of pop corn and meat cooking coming from the carnival. Food was the one thing he could never resit. Ron's stomach gave a grumble.
He turned his head to look down the street towards the attraction. "Perhaps?" Ron whispered now. "Perhaps we could wait for Neville there?" He knew it was a foolish idea. Neville would not know where to find them and there would be a lot of people. Too many for them to watch for Neville instead.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Harry seen the way Ron looked at him when he said his coment, but he just had to say it..it was his best friend after all. "Ready", he asked Ron as he threw the cloak completly around themselves and then harry grabbed a hold of Ron and they were gone.
When they arived at Hogmeade they noticed that Neville was no where in sight. "Ron..do you see him anywhere?" he asked him as they tried to make themselves no noticable at all. "Where is he?" Ron said as they both looked around together to find their friend. "That Neville...he wouldn't do this to us..I wonder if something happened?" Harry said to Ron.
As they hid waiting for Neville, Harry could smell the food and it was smelling wonderful, excpecially since they have been starving for days. "Do you smell that?" he asked Ron. Harry then heard Ron speak about an idea that he had. "Perhaps?.... "perhaps we could wait for Neville there?", Harry knew that was a foolish idea, but he could understand..he could hear Ron's stomache from a mile away.
Harry responded imediatly. "Neville won't know where to find us Ron, that wouldn't be a good idea at all..we would defently be spotted for sure", he said to Ron in all seriousness. Harry didn't have a very good feeling at all, until he noticed an all to familiar figure comming towards the gate. "Ron...I think that's him...that's Neville..isn't it?, he whispered at Ron, trying to keep their identity in check.

Ginny was actually looking forward to going to the muggle carnival. It definitely set a good vibe to the air after all the stuff the death eaters were making them do in lessons back at school; like torturing first years and stuff like that. The stuff Ginny did not agree with. She quickly changed out of her school robes and into a pair of jeans, sweater and sneakers before heading out to Hogsmeade.
Once she approached the gate of Hogsmeade, she noticed a familiar face...it was Neville. "Hey Neville, what are you doing out here...waiting for Luna? or anyone before going to the carnival," she asked not really sure why Neville was standing at the gate all alone at the moment, "Do you want me to wait with you or would you care to walk to the carnival with me?"

Neville was walking rather fast towards the gate where is was suposed to meet Harry and Ron. He was running quite late, and was hopeing that they hadn't been seen...if they were even there at all. He was almost to the gate when he heard Ginny's voice calling him.
"Hey Neville, what are you doing out here...waiting for Luna? or anyone before going to the carnival," she asked him, while he turned around to face her so they could quickly continue their conversation. "Do you want me to wait with you or would you care to walk to the carnival with me?" , she asked again.
Neville spoke to her now quietly, "Ginny...you have to remain calm when I tell you this", he began saying to her while looking around to make sure no one was listening. "Harry and Ron are suposed to be here..right now actually..and I have this polyjuice potion to give them so no one will notice them" he said to her pointing in his bag.
"I am very sorry for not telling you sooner...I'm sure you understand?" he said to her while putting his hand on her shoulder. Neville looked back and then back at Ginny,"you are more tham welcome to come with me of course..but don't make any obvious movements until it's safe" he said to her while he started walking over to the gate to meet Harry and Ron.

Ron turned to look when Harry said that he had seen Neville. It was in fact Neville hurrying down the road. Ron nodded and then froze as he saw the familiar red head. "Ginny..." He whispered. He had to stop himself from running towards his sister and wrapping his arms around her tightly. He had been so worried. He suddenly had so many questions running through his mind. He watched as Neville stopped to talk to Ginny.
Ron felt a bit of brotherly jealousy as he saw them exchange smiles and saw Neville touch her. Ron didn't like anyone touching Ginny. But at the same time, Ron knew that this was not the time or the place. When Neville approached, Ron shifted and then whispered "Neville, here..." He nudged Harry to slowly step closer to the other two. "Do you have the potion?" Ron wanted to get out from under this cloak. His eyes were on his sister.

Harry couldn't believe it when he had seen Ginny comming up behind Neville and then talking to him for a moment. It took everything that Harry had not to run over to her, but he knew that would probably make Ron mad and it wasn't the time or place for that to happen.
Harry looked at Ron when he whispered her name, and then looked back down the road at the two of them. "Come on Neville..." Harry whispered outload in desperation for him to hurry up. After a few moments, He started to see them walking up closer to them. When Neville was really close, Harry felt Ron shift to the side and whispered Neville's name to catch his attention.
Harry heard Ron ask Neville for the polyjuice potion as soon as he saw him as harry shifted where ever Ron went to make sure they weren't seen. "Neville...is there one for me?" he asked him as he then looked right over to Ginny, forgetting what he just asked neville.
"H-hhello...Ginny" he said, as he gulped and then smiled at her. He wanted to reach out and grab her tight, but knew that it wasn't possible. He looked over at Neville and took out his hand from underneath his cloak to shake his hand. "Great to see you Neville..and thanks for this" he said as he shook his hand awaiting to be transformed so they could enjoy this event that they were invited to.
