Neville Longbottom was born on the 30th of July 1980 to parents Frank and Alice Longbottom. Due to his parents both being magical, he has the blood title of pure-blood. He has dark hair and light skin.His parents were Aurors, therefore defying Voldemort, to which the family were attacked by Death Eaters when Neville was very young. Frank and Alice were tortured by Bellatrix and Rudolphus Lestrange, by use of the Cruciatus Curse, leading them to insanity and unable to recognise Neville. He was from then on raised by his grandmother Augusta Longbottom, who was a stern and judgmental woman, whom was partly the reason for Neville's low confidence. His relatives feared that Neville might be a Squib, and tested this theory by dropping him out of windows and throwing him off Blackpool pier where he nearly drowned. Neville also witnessed the death of his grandfather at a young age.In 1991 Neville was accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Upon boarding the Hogwarts Express he loses his pet toad Trevor, when he asks Hermione Granger to help him look for it, he later meets Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley on the continuing search before finally meeting Rubeus Hagrid, whom returns Trevor to him. Once he reached Hogwarts, he was scared of Gryffindors bravery and argued with the sorting hat to be placed in Hufflepuff, but was placed in Gryffindor regardless of his low confidence. Neville was very clumsy, getting himself in numerous incidents in his first year, including breaking his wrist in a flying lesson on the second week. He was a particular target for Draco Malfoy who set his friends on Neville during a Quidditch match, where Neville stood up for himself for the first time and was inevitably knocked unconscious. The night Harry, Ron and Hermione attempted to leave Gryffindor tower, Neville attempted to stop them as he thought that they should not be breaking rules. Hermione apologised and struck Neville with a Full Body-Bind Curse so that they could leave. This was another early instance where Neville showed bravery, standing up to his only friends. He was later awarded 10 points by Professor Dumbledore for his bravery, thus making it possible for Gryffindor to win the house cup. In his exams, Neville scored particularly well in herbology, making up for poor scores in potions.In his second year, in a Defence Against the Dark Arts class, a pair of Cornish pixies picked Neville up by the ears and hung him, by his cloak, from a chandelier but was later saved by Harry, Ron and Hermione. Still believing he was a squib, Neville purchased an evil-smelling green onion and other items after the basilisk attack on muggle-born's, believing he would need them due to having poor magic skills. Neville was the one who told Harry that someone had been searching through his possessions.In his third year in a potions class, Neville managed to somehow turn his Shrinking Solution orange instead of green, therefore displeasing Professor Snape, which he was very much aware of. Later that day in a practical Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Neville was faced with his boggart that took the shape of Snape wearing his grandmothers clothes, due to the idea of Professor Remus Lupin. Lupin then awarded Neville ten points for being the first to face their boggart. Show less «
