Fourth Seed; [Action]

[nearlychosen]

[This morning isn't terribly different from any other morning near House 26. The lawn there is a little bit greener than the neighboring homes, and the multicolored plantlife is as healthy as ever, fed a steady diet of the best quality dung Neville can get his hands on. The gardener is even mostly the same, a boy of average height spending far too much time on his hands and knees in the mud getting filthy in the care of things that can't talk back. It's not even very strange to hear him chatting with the vines and petals surrounding him, though this particular morning he seems to be hissing at his garden rather than rambling on in English. For those who recognize it, the language is Parseltongue.]

...And I haven't found a single lead anywhere in this place. I think there just aren't any Horcruxes to be found here. I should talk to Harry or Luna about this, shouldn't I? ...No, you're probably right. It's supposed to be a secret. What's that? Your leaves are getting dry? Well don't worry, I'll fix that.


[Later in the afternoon, after he's had a shower at least, he'll venture into town, rifling pointedly through the rebuilt item shop for something very specific and emerging empty-handed. It's okay to miss him as he moves among the people in mid-town, though; he avoids eye contact like the plague. Still, he won't be unfriendly if approached. Feel free to gape at the lightningbolt scar just barely visible under his fringe. He's used to it.]

[OOC: AU Cheatsheat is here.]

I heard the Carrows took up teaching positions at Hogwarts... Harry mentioned that Hermione was working on organizing some kind of student resistance before she went into hiding. Is that what happened with us in your version of events?

[Action] Well I didn't see!

Oh yes, mostly. Only it was you, Ginny, and me, and I was kidnapped from the Hogwarts train on my way home for Christmas. [And though Neville might panic at that, she's very calm about it.] I was brought here, though, so that was all right. And they told me that Ginny had to leave at Easter, so after that you went into hiding yourself and kept working against them. Which is very brave of you, you know.
