Second Seed; [Action]

[nearlychosen]

[If anyone's traveling in the vicinity of House 26, they might take notice of the little garden that's steadily been popping up outside over the past few weeks. Even if it's just another garden at first glance, today one of the residents is kneeling outside in the dirt attempting to change that. In the midst of a patch of what looks like mundane

[because I clearly don't bother you enough...>>;...snerk. Bored Draco-troll is bored and feels like trolling, so soon there will be a coyote pup patronus wandering away from house 25 and stalking through the garden-in-progress. After all, Padfoot likes to pretend he's a wild beast sometimes.

And Draco? Well he's just going to stay inside his house, in his bedroom, and watch from his window because it's fun terrorizing Gryffindors.]

[nearlychosen]

[GOD Ty, GTFO. Well there's a very obvious and corporeal patronus that doesn't belong to any DA member he knows. Did Harry start up a new branch here? Why hadn't he mentioned?? He gives it an oddly bemused look and smiles gently.] Well, hello. You're a new face, aren't you? [Though he's surreptitiously glancing around for the caster.]

[hisdarkmark]

[...SOB. Padfoot stops as soon as Neville starts speaking to him, sitting on the ground and staring up at him. He gives him a thorough once-over before yipping as an answer. NEW FACE. This is obviously important to Padfoot the derp-tronus. Draco's just going to make sure he's far out of the way of being seen, observing this. Because. PAdfoot always gets along with the Gryffindorks, what the hell.

Meanwhile Padfoot's going to do a barrelroll through the garden.]

[That's because Padfoot's got got some sense and knows where the right side is. Poor thing, to be saddled with Draco as a master. But, not knowing that the patronus was tainted with icky Slytherin germs, Neville ventures closer to the excited pup, laughing softly at its adorable excitement.] Well it's nice to meet you too.

[Having gotten an insane case of cabin fever while she was shut up at home, Hermione's taken to walking outside. She spots Neville pretty easily and walks nearer to admire his work.]

You and Luna are really putting a lot into this garden, aren't you?

[nearlychosen]

[Neville beams proudly at the sound of Hermione's voice.] Thanks, Hermione! I know there's not a lot else I can do to help out the way things are... Figured I could at least make sure we have a good store of supplies.

[loyalotter]

[She smiles in return and then squats down to examine what he's got going on in this garden.]

So, what do you have already? [As she tries to identify a couple of things.]

[nearlychosen]

[And he'll be pleased to take her on the grand tour.] Well-- none of it's really ready yet. All we could find here are Muggle plants, but I thought some of their genuses might be close to some of ours. [He gestures to the daisies immediately in front of him] I'm trying to work some healing charms into these, and maybe crossbreed them with something woodier, so in a couple of weeks we should have something close to dittany. In case someone else comes back a little messy. [And before he continues on, there's an obvious pause wherein his eyes probe her face for approval or help on his methodology.]

Harry's life has never made sense, what are you talking about.

[cruxofapotter]

[Harry is fascinated by the plants growing around the house, and while things are weird with Neville right now, Harry would at least like to see it.]

How are they coming along?

Harry's always made ALL KINDS OF SENSE before this!

[nearlychosen]

They'll be fully grown in a month or so, I'd wager. [Neville murmurs absently before turning his head to meet Harry properly] Best I can do with the resources here. [This is Neville deliberately not touching any of the more sensitive subjects.]

But his life is completely insane.

[cruxofapotter]

[Harry nods. He's not big on Herbology, but there's something nice about having magical plants around the house.] What kind of plants are they? [Good Neville! Harry doesn't want to talk about them either.]

WONDERFULLY insane. The kind of insane people tell stories about.

[nearlychosen]

[It makes the patch of earth feel like home. Home is desperately needed.] I'm not clear on all the Muggle names for what I'm using, but if all goes well we should have some knotgrass and dittany first and foremost. Maybe spiky bushes to help the house's defenses. I tried transfiguring some mandrake bulbs earlier, but that didn't really go so well...
