The Mirror of Erised;  ”It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. You, who have never known your family, see them standing around you…”

Dumbledore gave Neville them points because he saw a 11 year old boy who could do something he could not at a much older age: Dumbledore never had the courage to stand up to Grindelwald his friend, not until he really did have to anyway. I feel like Dumbledore saw this and the points were really for Neville NOT Gryffindor.

I will still love the series as if i was reading each book for the first time. i just wish it wasn’t over for me sometimes. But at the same time i’m glad because harry taught me that growing up is needed to face life.

My parent’s had been young once too, married I think even before they’d officially left high school at 18 and already pregnant with me.
