He teaches Herbology at Hogwarts. His students were really fond of him because he was funny, because he never failed anyone and because it was said that he was one of the heroes of the Great Battle that had taken place in Hogwarts years ago.

So that afternoon Neville was visiting the ministry of Magic.
