Seventh Seed; [Action] (Forward-dated to later this morning)

[nearlychosen]

[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.]

[Well that's just all the charms at work! The wizards might have overdone some of the memory charms in places, but nobody really seemed to mind?] It's natural to miss home... With any luck, we'll be back there before very much longer! [If the optomism sounds a bit forced, that's because it is. Neville's Lucetiversary is coming up.]

[ 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. :( ]

[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.

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.
