This is so sweet -- what a very "Nevilly" adventure. Lots of really good lines, this especially made me giggle:

Probably not. That sort of thing only happened to Harry.

Also, McGonagall is fantastic in this one -- you really get the sense of how scary she would have been for a twelve-year-old Neville. (And her "Test tomorrow"... hee!)

This was totally delightful, I'm grinning now having finished reading it. :) Ah, Hogwarts!

I laughed out loud at this: And a bit about goblins. Quite a lot about goblins, actually. I think he jumps about, just to get more goblins in.

I really enjoyed Neville and Luna in this. It's such a lovely story that suits them both perfectly. :D

Wonderful! I love adventures that don't include Harry...not that I dislike Harry adventures, but I remember being in junior high and high school. I didn't go to a magical school and we still managed to get into a lot of adventures!

Very enjoyable. Strong characterizations for all of them, atmospheric magic, interesting canon connections, full of the sort of touches that help create a full world (Dumbledore's armchairs, McG's perfect "test tomorrow," the tower perspective of the "ants" below, the reassurance of Trevor, etc.) Great ending.
