Neville Black

Neville Black, born Neville Longbottom, is the adopted son of Sirius Black and biological son of Alice and Frank Longbottom. When Neville was nearly a year old, his parents were murdered by the Dark Lord just before he disappeared. Sirius Black had been appointed as his godfather when Neville was born, and fulfilled his duty to the Longbottoms by caring for Neville. He bore the name of Longbottom until he reached 17. Neville's first exercise of his rights as an adult was to change his surname to that of his adoptive father.

Neville began school at Hogwarts in his Fourth year, and was sorted into Hufflepuff. Shortly after her graduation, he and Luna Lovegood had twin sons Lorcan and Lysander. Several years later, he and Luna were married. Neville, his wife, and children currently reside in Hogwarts. He serves as the professor of Herbology as well as Head of Hufflepuff following Pomona Sprout's retirement. His wife is the Care of Magical Creatures teacher and Head of Ravenclaw. Their sons are First year Ravenclaws.
