Then, Neville hops into the Great Hall. Ron questions who put the leg-locker curse on Neville, which Harry assumes that it is Draco. When Neville reaches them, Ron tells him that he should learn to stand up to people. Neville tells him that he can’t even stand at all, prompting Seamus to offer to a counter curse.

He then storms off, inadvertently showing a bald spot. Harry tells Ron that he has found some information on Nicolas Flamel on Dumbledore’s Chocolate Frog card.
