Video, Monday: He never asked to be the Chosen One

[infourbooks]

[A very defeated looking Neville can be seen on the screen. Some people might notice a scar on his forehead when he moves the right way. It's rather... lightning bolt like.]

Guys, I've tried. I really have. But I'm not any closer to figuring out what's going on here than I was when we first started noticing something was wrong with some people. If it's magic, it's not any kind I've ever learned. If it's not... then I really don't know what it is.

[Magic's the only thing he can think of. There should be something. He's supposed to save everyone, right?]

I know people count on me but... I'm pretty stuck right now.

No one's ever given me a choice before.

[Which is probably why he's having such a hard time getting his head around the idea of having one.]

Prophecies don't really seem to.

I think I missed something, here.

There was a prophecy. About this really nasty wizard. But most of it happened when I was a baby.

I've never heard you mention this before.

You haven't?

[He doesn't exactly go around shouting it to the hills. But he hasn't tried to keep it a secret either.]

The short version is that I didn't die when I should have and that means I'm supposed to save everyone.

[Either Neville is sharing something that's never come up before, or...]

That's a lot of responsibility for one person. Especially because of a chance.
