Summary: Hot sun, cold beer, snapping tea roses and ridiculous hats. With danger and romance, for kicks.

[insanejournal.com profile] cjmarlowe wrote this for [insanejournal.com profile] reversathon last year, and it's a perfect read for a hot summer's day (it's 85 F where I am, and will likely reach above 90 F after noon). Competent!Neville is one of my great post-War loves, and this story is both subtle and wonderful in its details (including its nod to his friendship with Luna and a quiet toast to Snape).

An excerpt:

Neville pulled one of the vials out of his pocket and held it out. "You told me to have this ready by Friday," he said. "It's Friday."

Bill's look of confusion remained for a couple more breaths, then he grinned broadly. "And you managed?" he said finally. "That's brilliant, Neville! Come with me."

Bill grasped his wrist and pulled him back out of the room again, moving with a long-legged stride down a side corridor that Neville hadn't explored yet. "Why are you surprised?" he asked when he'd caught his breath again.

"Not surprised," said Bill. "Impressed. Nine out of ten witches or wizards would have told me they needed more time. You're the one who gets it done, Neville."
