[Good evening, Luceti. It's just past sunset, and neighbors around House 26 might have noticed Neville outdoors a bit later than usual, fussing with an overgrown potted ivy. A wave of a wand and a cheated mumbled incantation later, the plant has grown to twice its size. From there, it's a bit of a boring magic show while he works with ineffective spells, some of them providing mobility to the little vines; mostly, though, there's nothing. Fully engrossed in his work, he doesn't notice some of the vines loosely coiling around him until they begin contracting against his forearms. He yelps in surprise and sets to work stunning the wispy strands, which might have been easier if he'd work on mobilizing it before it was the size of a rather large cat.

Little help?]

[Creep, creep, creep. Naoya's been creeping around. But this makes him stop and look.

And laugh.

Yet he stays because he's never seen a plant like this before. He or may not help.]

[Guybrush happens to be walking by when he sees Neville struggling with the vines. Like any good hero, he decides to wave politely and offer a friendly greeting.]

Hey! Whatcha doing?

[Oh you jerk. :|

Left to his own devices, Neville manages to singe most of the offending vines. The problem is his hesitation with regards to the base of the plant: he won't kill it, which continually provides it with the opportunity to continue being a nuisance. Neville himself isn't sure if he's winning or not.

He doesn't notice the creeper, though. Kind of busy and all.]

[Greeting received and duly returned. He manages a smile in spite of the bit of green snaking around his waist.]

Just some Herbology!

[Well hello there, Mysterious Voice! Where did you come from? Neville turns toward the new voice as best he can with his hands full.] Are you familiar with this genus?

Herbology... [He repeats the word, slowly, watching the vines entwine Neville.]

Is that some sort of human-plant intimacy thing? 'Cause I can give you some privacy...

I'm sorry, I don't quite follow... [He follows Guybrush's accusative stare.] Oh--this--No it's not like that at all! I'm studying the behavior of some of plantlife. [Which he demonstrates by zapping a vine until it twitchily drops to the ground.]

[Aaaaaaaaand guess who's leaning out the dining room window, blinking at the plants in the fading light.]

Are you playing with them? They like to be petted, you know.

Hedera. [That being the genus of all ivy plants.] But you modified it. [He walks over curiously, not bothering to help yet.]

[It's probably a good thing that you live down the road from this scythe user, Neville, because that thing can double as a massive lawnmower in a pinch. However, for the moment he's just going to stand back and watch this little display to see what comes of it.]

Only some breeds do, Luna... [Though he gives a funny little wiggle as he says that. Some plantlife might have just traveled someplace inappropriate.] I could use a hand getting it off, if you don't mind...

You know your stuff. [Though he's not quite as enthusiastic about it as he normally would be.] Don't come much closer than that, though. Do they have Devil's Snare where you're from? It's not entirely safe.

Now's not really the time... I don't suppose you've got a dragon's fang handy?

No... no dragon's fangs. Why do need a dragon's fang?

[YES PLEASE a scythe would be IDEAL for such an occasion! But Neville hasn't been big on meeting the neighbors and has no idea such convenient folk exist closeby. By now he's given up on stunning something with debatable consciousness and moved on to attempting to float the vines away, giving it something of a windswept look.]

If you ground it into a powder it could be used to immobilize it more quickly. ..It's gotten a bit away from me a bit at the moment.

[Earthlings really are pathetic sometimes. But at the same time, he has a vague recollection that this is one of the dragon brat's companions, and thus Draco would likely complain if he were to be devoured by a ravenous plant. He'll just be strolling on over now, laser scythe held ready to strike in one hand.]

Oh, of course. [She doesn't rush getting out her wand, though, so Neville might be entirely too familiar with this plant by the time she says] Stupefy!

[Naoya just smirks in response. He pulls out what looks like a gameboy and presses a few buttons on it.]

I've never heard of a Devil's Snare. [ He finishes the input into the COMP, and something akin to electricity will be casted on the ivy-- which may or may not paralyze it, he's never tried it on a plant before.

It's a show of compassion for the plant, because he could have easily burned it.]

Hey! This sounds like just the sort of thing I'm good at. Where can I get a dragon's fang?
