This story is, of course, inspired by the 1939 short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber (<a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.all-story.com/issues.cgi?action=show_story&amp;story_id=100">[link]</a>), with a twist of Harry Potter and a serving of DiD. Mix thoroughly and serve with a slice of Mandrake.<br /><br />Neville's one of my favourite characters in the Harry Potter series, and after all the nonsense that came with the final book, definitely much more of a hero than the titular character himself. While Harry spent weeks on a useless camping trip, Neville was becoming the next Che in Hogwarts and Sticking It to The Man. Harry ended up becoming a robot who blindly followed the orders of a manipulative old man, while Neville blazed the trail and kicked some Death Eater ass. There's a reason why there are now Neville Longbottom jokes a la Chuck Norris out there...<br /><br />Anyways, hope you all enjoyed this little drabble. It's my first full-fledged DiD work, and I banged it off in about an hour's time, so any and all comments would be helpful. It's first in a series, so expect many of Neville's female peers to receive the same treatment.<br /><br />EDIT: <br /><br />Part Two - Ginny!: <a href="https://thephoenixking.deviantart.com/art/Secret-Life-of-Neville-2-109315640">[link]</a>
