Gift for: bluemermaidFrom: rivertempestTitle: Poisoned Truth
Pairing: Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns it all. She would never approve of what I do to her beloved characters.
Warnings: Disturbing imagery, horror.
Summary: Wizarding society thinks Neville Longbottom is an innocuous, brilliant herbologist. He cultivates this notion as he does his beloved plants.
Notes: Dear
bluemermaid - I hope you like the direction I went with this. I also want to thank you for listing 'horror' as one of the things you wanted to see in your gift! It may be a stretch, but you could consider the prompt of 'monster' as well. And if that wasn't enough, there is visual confirmation that a particular fungus exists:
