Uh... Neville? Quick question, mate.

The plants that you keep... Are they supposed to be doing that... Rise-into-choas sort of thing?

I swear, one of them just tried to shove me over the balcony...

[attempting to free one of his wrists from a vine] I...well, they've never done this before!

It must be some sort of defense mechanism...You haven't been taunting them, have you, Ron?!

[the_wheezy]

Taunting them...? Taunting them?
Of course I haven't been taunting them! They're plants!

[snake_slayer]

They're quite sensitive! If you don't-Wait, hold on-..

[starts strugging against the plant, raising his wand and trying to coax it to free him]

Well, they don't seem very happy!

[the_wheezy]

No, really. You think so?

Dammit! What the bloody-- Fuck! One just bit me! Hasn't even got teeth!

[snake_slayer]

Would you be careful with them?! [fires off a spell at the plant holding Ron, forcing it to recoil before turning to the one creeping up his arm]

There's got to be a reason for all this..

[the_wheezy]

Well, they aren't exactly being careful with me, are they!?

No foolin'. Reason would be lovely, right about now.

[snake_slayer]

They're delicate, Ron! You're scaring them...

I'll take care of the ones in here! Just...would you try not to go near them? They don't seem to like you very much

[the_wheezy]

Oh, for fuck's sake! [He finally escapes, ruffled, and retreats to a safer distance.]

Even the bloody plants dislike me. What the hell is this mess?

[snake_slayer]

[finally frees his own arm, aside from a ripped sleeve or two]

Go get professor Dumbledore, then-! I can take care of these..

[the_wheezy]

Right... Ughm... Don't get eaten, then. I'll be right back.

[snake_slayer]

[turns to face his houseplants, rolling up his sleeves, looking surprisingly competant]

Oh, I'll be all right.

[the_wheezy]

[He rushes off, only to return after a brief moment.]

Right, um... Forgot. Dumbledore's not here right now, Nev.
