I really didn't want to be around all the festivities tonight. Ginny nodded, squeezing his hand tightly in comfort. I'm always here for you, Harry. However you need me. Harry smiled a little, giving the password to the portrait, and leading his girlfriend… wife… yeah, he should probably not think about her as his wife, in case he accidentally slipped up and said it out loud at some point. You know, before last year, I didn't really think about tonight being the night… you know… my parents died. The only thing my aunt and uncle ever told me was that they were drunks who died in a car crash. Ginny mentally growled at his former guardians, causing Harry's smile to widen a little, as they sat down on a sofa by the fire.

Neville asked quietly. Harry looked over at his friend, and nodded. "Yeah," he replied, just as softly. "I think today's always going to be tough, but… my parents gave their lives for me. They died defending what's right. I owe it to them, and to myself, to not let that sacrifice be in vain." Neville understood, not needing any more elaboration. After a moment, Harry turned the question back on the Longbottom heir. "What about you? You and Susan have seemed a little distant lately." Neville bit his lip, looking down at his lap for a moment. "We broke up," he admitted. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all turned towards them, hearing that statement. "What happened?" Hermione asked, closing her book. "You two seemed to be doing so well."
