[Good morning, Luceti! If you happen to be out around the center of town this morning, you might notice some new... growths decorating the square grouping of shops. Vines spill out from the cracks of the Flower Shop's door by the dozen, twirling and twisting into cursive lettering that begins climbing up the shop's wall and accidentally spills over to the storefront of the empty shop next door:

DUMBLEDORE'S ARMY: NOW RECRUITING

It's a bit brash, and probably a bit premature considering he hadn't really checked in with Hermione about beginning to advertise so soon after opening up membership or with the other shop regulars about creating the gaudy message, but it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission anyway.

Feel free to stop inside the shop today to inquire about the living, writhing advertisement. Or, if you're up early enough, you might spot Neville as he's producing the message with his wand out, focusing intently on guiding the long vines in a way that he hopes is legible and desperately hoping he doesn't mess it up.]

[His lips purse thoughtfully.] If you're looking for something that can handle cold weather, you may want to try a snow plant. [There's some rummaging before he produces a potted plant with bulging red flowers within, like a blushing cactus. It's not the prettiest thing to look at, but sturdier plants rarely are.]

Waah, that's really pretty! I like it! But will it be okay when Summer comes?

[And then he laughs a bit.]

I want many flowers, to decorate my home, they make it all more lively and pretty. I want one for my bedroom and for Hakkai's bedroom and the living room...

[Ignore that it's probably not a good idea to have plants in the same room as a person sleeping.]

[Hermione chooses to follow this school of thinking, thanks.]

I don't know. I suppose we'll have to see how it goes when we have our next meeting. [She's excited, Neville. Very excited.] I never thought the DA might have so many people interested in it.

[ and in la, admittedly, a couple odd people in robes are barely a drop in the bucket. ] I'd be going back to Scotland, but point taken. [ oh, neville. :( ]

[He nods supportively.]

There are elemental spirits here, and there seems to be a way to harness their magic for ourselves. I'm a little fuzzy on the details of it, but my friends are amazing teachers.

It's only natural for people to be interested in self-defense! [Excitement works! He's just glad to have someone to be excited with, to be honest.] I'll be proud if we can get even half the roster we've got at home.

[Well that's a name he doesn't hear often around here.] You've got business in Scotland? I attend a boarding school there.

It's a... homebase. Ish. I was at college, but things were. [ ...well, how do you explain getting turned into a giant? ] They got complicated, and I went back to Scotland for a while.

Because of the wings? And if they've learned to do all that here--wow.

I'm curious what makes you think open advertising won't draw unwanted attention though.

I suppose we'll have to see who turns up! [She'll just... grin over here.] I'm so glad it looks like people might be interested. I just thought if more people are dedicated to using everything they can to help people, maybe we can actually really help people if things like the earthquake happen again or if people like Voldemort turn up. None of the Death Eaters would expect magic like this.

Not entirely, I'm just more cautious about who I let know certain information.

If you suspect the people here, you ought to mention names. [Because it's not like there were any known murderers at the last DA meetings or anything.]

I'm terribly sorry about your complications, but Scotland does seem to be the sort of place where you can straighten things out. The best chocolate frogs come out of Scotland.

I've never had those. [ just imagined having them. over and over. right, we're working on not flailing. ] Mostly it was just full of superpowered teenage girls who never asked before eating my food.

I don't have names yet. I'm just saying in general. Aren't I allowed to make generalized statements?

Huuuh. You guys focus solely on magic. [Sanji probably counts as one of those "kick first, magic later" types, and so his tone makes her smirk]

Pretty interesting. What types of magic?
