Okay, I should have read the first chapter closer. I understand more now, and will still be looking forward to what this version of Neville will do with what looks to be a rekindled friendship with Harry.

Okay; I'm glad you are up to speed; and; in this verse; the Golden Trio is going to be Harry, Hermione and Neville, with Ron sort of taking canon Neville's place.
That's not to say that things will go exactly the way they did in canon. GRIN
