Erm ... does anyone have any advice for dealing with a ... a bloke who has taken a sudden fancy to you? I mean, I don't swing that way, and I guess he'd be a top-looking bloke if they were top-looking ... but he hates me. At least, he's supposed to.

[Neville is working his shift at the Breath of Life floral shop. today is going kind of slow, and while no one is in the shop he has his journal out on the counter, doodling diagrams of the different plants around the shop, and talking idly to himself]

It looks like people are getting their memories back. I'm--well I'm glad really, seeing all those ( Read more... )

[and so it is that, two weeks after being ran through with a sword and reduced to giblets, Neville Longbottom wakes up in his bed. it's like drifting back up to the surface after being underwater for an eternity. he lies very still for some time, blinking slowly up at the ceiling as he regains his bearings. he remembers death, fear and paranoia but ( Read more... )

[wakes up like he normally does--rolling over and snorting and mumbling--but comes full awake when he realizes there's someone else in his bed]
