Bill's anti-lycanthropy potion had an unforeseen side effect - lowered sperm count - and it was wreaking havoc on their experimentation with Neville's male pregnancy potion. They'd decided it was time to test the potion, and that since Neville was the younger of them, he should be the one to become pregnant - besides, Bill had enough mood swings without adding the hormonal fluctuations of pregnancy to the mix.
Since Neville was more apt to spend time in the greenhouse than the library, he'd asked Hermione to research alternative therapies for him. In her usual efficient manner, she'd come up with the ancient practices of yoga and meditation.
"You really must do both for meditation to be effective, Neville. Yoga develops strength and flexibility so that a yogi can remain in meditation for extended periods of time. A yogi in deep meditation can actually lower his heart rate well below the normal resting rate, and even slows down metabolic functions."
As Hermione had suspected, neither Bill nor Neville knew the first thing about yoga, so she'd also tracked down a Wizarding yoga manual with step-by-step instructions on how to do the postures.
Neville had decided that they could both benefit from not only the calmness produced by meditation, but being more flexible, too - especially in the bedroom - which was how they found themselves wound up like pretzels in a complicated balance pose called "the eagle".
Bill grunted and swore as he lost his balance. "That's it... enough." As he stumbled towards a chair, Neville stopped him.
"But the book says we need to do the balance poses on each side - otherwise, we'll be off-balance. We can stop after doing the eagle on the left, I promise."
Bill growled, low in his belly, but followed Neville's instructions once more.
"Okay, stretch your arms out wide, then cross, with the right under the left. Bring up the right hand, and wrap the left around, palm-to-palm."
After they'd gotten the hand positioning correct, they moved on to the balance.
"Shift your weight to your left leg. Lift the right leg slightly, and curl it around so the top of your right foot touches your calf. When you feel balanced, bring your elbow to your knee."
Unfortunately, Bill lost his balance before he could complete the pose, tumbling to the floor. Agility never being a big problem, though, he was able to bring Neville down with him, and declared, "Enough yoga for today." and brought his lips to Neville's for a kiss.
