    Summary

    "I might have told him I was bringing someone on Saturday, and since you’ve saddled me with this stupid dying thing, it’s only fair that you should make it up to me.”

    The logic in Pansy's argument is all but nonexistent, yet Neville finds himself agreeing anyway.

    Summary

    Gardening is not a discipline for the easily discouraged. The earth can be recalcitrant towards humans, perhaps in resentment for all that they have destroyed, and will often turn even a wizard’s hard labor into dross – leaving him with naught but the cold, barren ground, or the rot of heartless blight, or the bloody prick of tangled thorns.

    But Neville Longbottom is a patient man.

    He sees what he wants – what he has long wanted – in a Dorset cottage rose garden, and he will wait as long as he needs for her to bloom.

    [In which Pansy Parkinson, against her better judgment, falls in love.]

    Summary

    Pansy Parkinson is assigned as an orderly to the Janus Thickey Ward, where she meets a kind old woman obsessed with flowers and toffee wrappers.

    ~

    “Parkinson.”

    Pansy Parkinson is dressed in a bright purple Orderly uniform—and that shocks him more than the box of candy in her hands.

    “Alice is your mother,” is all Pansy says.

    “Sweet Flower. So good,” Alice says, patting Neville on the cheek. She steps around him and pulls Pansy into a hug. “So good to us.”

    Summary

    “Ouch.” He yelps involuntarily when the sharp bristles of her brush stab into the raw flesh of his cut.
    “Sorry,” she murmurs, smiling slightly. “Usually my clients don’t feel a thing.”
    The powder transforms the white bandage into something closer to skin color. Intrigued by the juxtaposition between her expertise and the distinct lack of care she takes not to aggravate the wound, Neville clears his throat.
    “You do this for a living?” he asks.
    “Mm,” she nods, scrutinizing his hand from close enough to her face that he can feel her cool breath. “Finished.”
    Releasing him, she drops the makeup back into her bag but doesn’t move away. They’re crouching face-to-face and it’s either the adorable upturn of her nose or the lack of oxygen making it to Neville’s brain, but he wants to kiss her.
    “Pansy,” he says. “How do you feel about geriatric dinner parties?”

    Summary

    Prompt 56. Panville. Voldemort Wins AU.

    Four years after the 'dark day', Pansy is busy decorating her house and being the perfect wife. Neville's gaze is soft, patient and filled with so much love.

    Everything is real.

    “Gaze into the fire, into the clouds, and as soon as the inner voices begin to speak... surrender to them. Don't ask first whether it's permitted, or would please your teachers or father or some god. You will ruin yourself if you do that.”
    ― Hermann Hesse, Demian. Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend
