Me again.

Recipient: shouldknobetter
Prompt: Neville finding something exciting to him.
Word count: 100
Rating: G

“Dare I ask what you’re doing in the dirt?” the shadow that has suddenly fallen over Neville’s head asks.

Such is Neville’s absorption that he answers Gran rather than apologizing for the state of his robes. “Look! Phoenixblossom!” He points excitedly at the small, shimmering flowers. “They’re not native to Britain. I wonder how they got here?”

“I imagine your father planted them,” says Gran, unimpressed. “Sometimes, he gardened to relax. Now, come inside and get ready for your Great-Uncle Algie’s visit.”

Neville reaches out to stroke one of the petals. A soothing heat radiates from it. “In a moment.”

Oh, that's wonderful! A tie to his father...lovely!

Thanks! (And can I just say how impressed I am that you're leaving comments for everyone?)

Often, folks get very little to show for their efforts. Well, this weekend, I thought I'd leave everyone something positive. Besides, all these different prompts mean I have to read outside my slash pairings, and really, I'm very impressed by the imaginations out there!

Nice! Depending on how old Neville is, maybe that flower gave him the spark to bounce. Thank you so much for writing something so thought-provoking!

love, lore

Re: For shouldknobetter miramiraficfic July 28 2009, 02:07:49 UTC

Why...yes! Yes, that is exactly what I had intended!

"But Mira, I thought you had me in third year here."

Quiet, you. Oh, characters. Never know when to leave well enough alone, do they?

Seriously, I'm glad you liked it.

This is so incredibly sweet! I love Neville so much, and he's always so sad in those earlier books especially, so it's wonderful to see what it is that could light a spark in him.
