Second Seed; [Action]

[nearlychosen]

[If anyone's traveling in the vicinity of House 26, they might take notice of the little garden that's steadily been popping up outside over the past few weeks. Even if it's just another garden at first glance, today one of the residents is kneeling outside in the dirt attempting to change that. In the midst of a patch of what looks like mundane dasies, the round-faced, slightly dirty Neville is settled, brow furrowed in concentration, as he prods at the flowers with his newly-found wand. He's mumbling fiercely under his breath, presumably to the flowers themselves. Feel free to interrupt, Luceti. He won't bite.]

[He grins at the prospect of getting help from Hermione.] I'd love all the help I could get! I'm not too clear on Muggle plants really. I chose these flowers because of their appearance more than any magical properties they might have. [Addressing the rest of the small garden now, he points] I'm thinking of putting some work into the soil for knotgrass, and maybe grow out hedges we could transfigure into spiky bushes... [He trails off uncertainly though, because if transfiguration is involved, there would be less "we" and more "I watch from a safe distance while you maybe show me how it's done and if we're lucky I find a way to not mess things up."]

[She understands the whole Transfiguration thing and she's totally willing. Hermione is always willing to help. Wouldn't be Hermione if she wasn't. So she nods.]

That sounds like a good start. I can try to find a book on Muggle plants at the library if you'd like. It might help you figure out which plants would work best to turn into wizarding ones.

[And failing that, she'll write one up herself!]
