Um. Hullo.

Since the weather's started to change, I find it necessary to ask about what's normally done to care for the plantlife here in colder seasons? I've noticed a handful of gardens around the village -- is there a spell to seal the temperature around them? I've been growing a few things that I'd rather not lose...

If not, then this place could probably use a greenhouse before the ground gets too cold to sustain anything.

And, um. I guess that's all. Thanks.

Well normally with a garden the size of ours, we'd have to work on transplanting it to the greenhouse around this time of year. I don't think you lot would really appreciate it if I brought everything inside, so I thought it might be best to see what everyone else is doing for the colder months. [Even though, in the greater scheme of things, the stuff he's growing is of a much higher priority than the grumblings from his housemates. But he is trying to get around inviting the Devil's Snare indoors if he can help it.]

[Yeah, the Devil's Snare has to stay well away from people after what happened in St. Mungo's with it being used to kill people.]

Right. We might be able to use enchantments to stabilize their temperature or set aside a corner of the house for the more important ones.

[He'd be sure to lock it away where nobody could stumble upon it! Except maybe Malfoy.]

There seems to be a lot of people who've been thinking about the same things. There's some talk about making an official greenhouse available for everyone here.

I think that would be a good idea. We could all take turns caring for plants and learning about the ones we're not familiar with.

[And you know Hermione and her learning.]

[VERY helpful.]

I think so too! And with them all together, there's sure to be some cross-pollination that happens, and maybe something will sprout up that's potent enough to find us a way home from here!

[Neville can't judge. They'd be knee-deep in his most favorite thing int he world. Learn away, friend.]

Exactly. You never know what might happen here. And besides, plants might help with medicine, as well. I wonder if we could build or magic something up.

[Whoo-hoo! Good company is good!]
