<strong>Character</strong>: Neville Longbottom (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=181836.msg8726653#msg8726653)<br/><strong>Location</strong>: Safe house<br/><strong>Tagged</strong>: Ginny, Draco, Luna<br/><hr/><br/>Neville intervened before a fight could break out again. "Draco, stop instigating the Weasleys. At the moment, he is the oldest and most stable in our ranks." He looked to Arthur. "And yes, you're right. He was a Death Eater. He's also a Death Eater who took down at least three others, and the Carrows with me. He is no longer safe within their ranks. He openly rebelled against them. And I see no reason why we can't have him here when he was coerced into joining them in the first place by his family and couldn't kill Dumbledore." He looked sidelong at Draco. "Yeah... Harry told us about that." He cleared his throat. "He may have helped them a year ago to try to bring Hogwarts under Death Eater control. But he helped to defend us against them when they actually came to take over in force. Besides, we need someone who actually knows where You-know-who's bases are or at least some of them. I think the least we can do is wait until Harry shows up to decide his fate."<br/><br/>He settled back in his chair and looked to Tonks. "And if we need to keep an extra pair of eyes on him while he's here that's not a problem. I only guaranteed his safety. We're not locking him up though. He helped save us. He can be free at the very least."<br/><br/>Tonks sighed, again looking older, though her hair only went brunette. "Listen Neville. I don't feel comfortable with him around Teddy. And until we find out where all is safe to send the students back to, we need to be careful whom we let into our homes."<br/><br/>"Well technically this house would already be compromised, wouldn't it?" Lee mused aloud. "They all had to read notes from the Secret Keeper to get in in the first place. Besides.... in case you haven't noticed, our numbers have been halved. Draco might be a twat, but he's no murderer.... especially not of babies. I think Teddy is quite safe."
