RP: Pumpkin Carving
Date: October 20, 2005
Characters: Neville Longbottom, others
Location: Longbottom Nursery
Status: Public
Summary: Time to carve some pumpkins!
Completion: Incomplete
After spending the morning making the pumpkin themed snacks and drinks for the children and their escorts--and having small fits of anxiety over whether any of them would show up or not--Neville went into town and picked up the toads and pygmy puffs he'd ordered from the familiar shop. Charming the boxes to stay closed and allow sufficient airflow, he returned to the greenhouse and stacked them off to the side until he was ready to present them to the winners of the carving contest.
Going out into the pumpkin patch, he selected several nice-sized, ripe pumkpins for the children to carve and toted them back to the greenhouse and settled them at regular intervals along a work table. If more children showed up, he'd be able to make room for them at a separate table, but this way he didn't have too many pumpkins off the vine at once.
Now all that was left to do was bring the snacks and drinks from the house and wait on the children to show up. He felt himself beginning to fret once more and stomped the feeling down by submersing himself in more busy work.
