"How is it an antidote? Is it drunk or mixed with other things?" She grinned at him, "Sorry about the interrogation, I'm just a curious person."

SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG I GOT DISTRACTED BY SHARPIE PENS AND VOLDEMORT'S DICK

Neville Longbottom November 14th 2010, 8:54 pm

UMM. I am just not going to ask.....

He smiled at her. "It's fine." He said and smiled. "I'm not really sure how the antidote part works, I am pretty sure it is just the general presence of the plant that is supposed to help." He said nodding. "Not the actual Stinksap."

Audrey Stevenson November 14th 2010, 9:01 pm

Good choices.

"Right well that makes sense," She stretched her legs out in front of her and crossed her ankles, "So how are you? What have you been doing?"

Neville Longbottom November 14th 2010, 9:04 pm

"I've been good." He said nodding. "I've just been studying, and taking care of my garden. The usual." He said and smiled at her. "What about you?"

Audrey Stevenson November 14th 2010, 9:06 pm

"I've actually been working in the potions lab mostly lately and this is the first time I've really been outside in days." She looked up at the sky and smiled, "Pity it's not warmer out, hopefully the sun'll be out later."

Neville Longbottom November 14th 2010, 9:08 pm

He smiled at her and nodded. "Yeah....It's nicer when the sun comes out." He said and looked over at her. "It's easier to get some plants from the great lake when its warm out, otherwise you'll freeze." He said with a light laugh.

Audrey Stevenson November 14th 2010, 9:12 pm

She laughed, "Indeed, it must be pretty chilly in there. What sort of things grow around here? I've never actually gone supply collecting on the grounds here aside from some in the forest with the professor. So what did you plan on doing today and if you don't mind me asking why did you bring the Mimbulus Mimbletonia out with you?"

Neville Longbottom November 14th 2010, 9:16 pm

He sighed and thought for a moment. "There is just too many plants to count in the lake." He said and smiled at her. "There are so many plants I find that I don't even know what they are called." He said nodding. "Well, I don't really have plans. I figured I'd go down to my garden to check on it today. It's weed pulling day, so I've got to do that." he said nodding, even though he took such good care of his garden that it never really grew weeds. "I just figured I'd bring her out to get some sunlight. Doesn't get much when she's in my dorm so I bring her out every once and a while."

Audrey Stevenson November 14th 2010, 9:24 pm

Audrey leaned back against the wall behind her, "So you have your own garden here? Where is it? Does Professor Sprout help you with it as part of a project or what?" She liked how he referred to the plant as though it was a person. He was obviously passionate about herbology, when he talked about it he came alive, and it was wonderful for her to meet someone else who was that interested in their field of study and had that much invested in it.

Neville Longbottom November 14th 2010, 9:29 pm

Neville shifted a bit and got comfortable on the bench so he could look at her as he spoke. "Yeah, It's far out on the grounds, if you follow the lake you'll be able to find it." He said and nodded. "It's just me who works on it." He said nodding. "I talked to Professor Sprout and Dumbledore back in 2nd year and asked if I could start one and they were fine with it so I've had it for a while now." He said and smiled at her. "Not many people know about it though. Just Professor Sprout, Dumbledore and then a few close friends, and now you." He said and blushed a bit because he's never really told anyone about it after only just meeting them once before.

Audrey Stevenson November 14th 2010, 9:47 pm

"Well I feel privilaged. What sort of plants do you grow there?" She decided that at some point she would head down there to check it out, maybe while he was working there this afternoon. She couldn't help but enjoy spending time with Neville, he was incredibly sweet and he wasn't like all the other guys around here.

Neville Longbottom November 14th 2010, 9:50 pm

"I grow lots of stuff!" He said grinning at her. "A lot of fruits and veggies though. I love fresh fruit and vegetables." He said and blushed a bit because he felt kind of like a freak for liking fruits and veggies so much. "Pineapples, Cucumbers, Strawberries, Tomatoes, Cabbage, lettuce!" He said and grinned. "Lots of stuff!"

Audrey Stevenson November 14th 2010, 9:52 pm

"I love fruits! And that's amazing that you can get all of those to grow up here, do you have charms and things that you use? And do you take your crops to the kitchens or do you use them yourself?" She had turned now to better face him so that she could look at him.

Neville Longbottom November 14th 2010, 9:56 pm

"Yeah." he said nodding. "I use some charms for some to make them grow, and then Professor Sprout has this potion that she has a bunch of, I'm not sure what it is, but some plants if you use it to water them, you can grow them better in different areas." He said grinning at her. "Some, I give to friends, Like Viktor Krum I gave him one of my pineapples the other week, because I know how much he likes them." He said nodding. "So, What I do is just give them to some friends, save some for me, and then the rest I usually give to the kitchens." He said and smiled at her.

Audrey Stevenson November 14th 2010, 10:08 pm

"Hmm I'll have to ask her about it after next class, sounds interesting. If you don't mind can I come down to the garden with you to see it today? I'm really curious now." At home she helped her mother in their flower garden but they had never really grown produce before.

Neville Longbottom November 14th 2010, 10:11 pm

Neville smiled at her and nodded. "Sure!" He said excitedly. "It's a bit of a hike down there but I have a little swing thing that I built...So...once you get there you can sit and relax and then you'll gain that energy you lost back and you can look around the garden but it doesn't take much energy if you are just looking around the garden only if you are actually planting or doing garden work...so yeahh." He said and then stopped talking because he realized he was rambling, which he tended to do often when he got nervous.

Audrey Stevenson November 14th 2010, 10:19 pm

Audrey smiled at him and stood up, "That all sounds amazing, shall we head down there now?" She picked up her bag that she had put by the bench and waited as he got up holding the plant. "So you're just weeding today?"

DO YOU WANNA GO POST THERE NOW?

Neville Longbottom November 14th 2010, 10:21 pm

"Yeah! Today is weeding day!" He said grinning and then picked up Mimbly and stood up. "Just follow me." He said and then they walked to his garden.

YEAH! I'LL POST! Very Happy

**Molly Prewett** November 18th 2010, 5:04 am

Molly is here. She is knitting. I have no idea what mood she's in. Cue Ted.

**Ted Tonks** November 18th 2010, 5:08 am

Ted is walking up from the grounds after chilling with Luna and sees Molly knitting. Walking over he sits down next to her, "Well that looks amazing, what are you making?"

**Molly Prewett** November 18th 2010, 5:11 am

Molly pauses long enough to gream up at Ted and then her hands continue working the knitting needles. "Oh hey Ted! Thanks, it's a Christmas gift for mum- it's going to be a bag when I'm done. How you going?"

**Ted Tonks** November 18th 2010, 5:17 am

"I'm great. Finished that pie which was a shame but everyone was really jealous of me when they smelt it. Oh and I was teaching Viktor how to play football the other day." He relaxed back against the wall and listened to the click clack of her needles.

**Molly Prewett** November 18th 2010, 5:23 am

"You ate the whole thing yourself?" Molly giggles. "I guess it was kinda too awesome to share, wasn't it?" She perks up with curiosity when he mentions football. "Real football? Not, like, rugby or whatever?"

**Ted Tonks** November 18th 2010, 5:26 am

Ted grinned, "There was no way I was sharing that gem. And yes real football football. Oh and I met one Caradoc Dearborn and he challenged me to a rugby match. It should be prime entertainment if you're interested."

**Molly Prewett** November 18th 2010, 5:36 am

Molly blinks at the mention of her brother's boyfriend, not that she knows IC that Carabian has started yet. "Oh right, he's in your house, isn't he? I forgot. So when is this celebrity death match going down? I'm really not that into sports but I'll, like, totally make an exception to see this one," she promises.
