AUTHOR'S NOTE

Book 2 in the "Neville Longbottom" series.
Sequel to "The Chosen One"

She has the same dark brown hair, the same brown eyes. She is the same height. Her feet tap on the floor when she is bored and her eyes dart everywhere as though expecting to be attacked.

Even in the world of magic, where ghosts roam around Hogwarts and everything seems to be as possible as lighting a match, Neville's heart thudded loudly as Professor McGonagall called the next student to be sorted. She is so much like Avaline that it hurts just to look at her. She was an apparition, come to destroy any semblance of peace that he had managed to create.

Will Neville be able to keep his promise to Avaline?
