Happy Thanksgiving!
Which story? Did you finish Bright Lights? Cos Tempestuous has spoilers for Bright Lights, big ones
There's six chapters up, cos I updated yesterday. I keep thinking that my chapters are far too long and that I should put them up in the three parts that I split them into... but then they wouldn't make as much sense... I'm rambling. With Tempestuous there's a theme with the chapter titles that no-one has pointed out yet *wonders if Otts will spot it*

*Gives Otts a threaten glare* We've been over the Luna/Neville ship nonsense.

There were a fair few Death Eaters and while the students still outnumbered them the first years had no magic to speak of and were more of a hindrance than a help. Also, what kind of magical experience did the students have? Except for the members of Dumbledore’s Army most of the others hadn’t really practiced practical defense magic in over a year.
The Slytherins were all hiding or just not interfering in any meaningful way and the Death Eaters seemed to know what they were after targeting certain people. They were methodically searching for certain students and people.
“We’re never going to make it through all these cars, Luna!” Neville exclaimed. “The Death Eaters have taken that other car and they’re not letting anyone through.”
Oooh! Tense! What are they going to do?

“I’m going to help them,” Hannah said seeing some of her classmates.
Neville stopped her before she walked off.
“Hannah,” he blushed. “Please, just … be careful, okay?”
“I will Neville,” she replied. She took a few steps forward then stopped turned and walked back. “Neville, you take care too.” She did an odd thing then, taking his face in her hand she turned him to face her and she kissed him on the other cheek. He blushed.
That was sweet!
Otts you are too fab!

“How odd,” Luna said, “she didn’t kiss me.”
Neville just blushed even more.
That had me giggling like a loony!

“It’s times like these I wish I had a magic carpet,” Neville said.
“We could just climb out and walk over the top of the cars,” Luna suggested.
Neville turned to look at her as if she were insane and then realized Luna was not joking. He sighed. If Luna could suggest it the least he could do was try it. So, they walked out in between the train cars and took the ladder up to the roof of their car. Their actions however did not go unnoticed.
Yikes! Who noticed? Are they friend or foe? I think I'll just
till your next update!
