Summary
It is one year after the war and Neville's life has fallen apart.After the battle, Neville disappeared from the wizarding world. No one tried to find him, but that was alright. He didn't want to be found. It was him, his flower shop and Luna against the muggle world in which they had made their home.It is 2003. The war has been over for five years but he has still not returned to his former home. He is too scared to see what has changed, what has not and the questions that undoubtedly would have built up in his absence. It is still him and his flower shop against the world.Until, however, a certain raven haired man with a lightning bolt scar ducks through his shop door and the steel door behind which Neville has bolted all his memories of the wizarding world is flung open.*Updated every Friday*
Note
Hello, hello, hello! It has been *checks date* over six months since I last posted but I'm back so it doesn't matter! If you've found this from my other works, welcome back! And if you're new, welcome to this cesspit of misery, where I delight in torturing characters :). It'll be fun this time, I promise.I actually have some of this pre-written, so I'm going to try to update once a week, at least until the beginning of November and NaNoWriMo, where I will become a sleep deprived hermit.Last thing before the actual story! This fic deals with some heavy topics. Most of them are tagged but I will be doing individual trigger warning in each chapter that have a bit more detail. They'll be at the bottom of each chapter so please read if you feel like you need to and please take care of yourself! But there actually aren't any for this chapter so enjoy!
