Who: Andrew Kirke and Neville Longbottom.
What: Andrew needs a giant pumpkin.
Where: Dogweed and Deathcap, Hogsmeade.
When: Thursday 27th October, morning.
Instead of spending his morning being nervous about meeting Byron – who apparently didn’t talk and who Andrew was convinced already thought he was a terrible brother – Andrew decided to go out and do something. He’d mostly forgotten about Ken’s request for a giant pumpkin, but when he’d mentioned it to Evan in the hopes that Merlin College might have a magical horticultural society, Evan had pointed out that Neville worked with plants and might be more inclined to help than relative strangers from university. Andrew remembered Neville from school, of course, they’d only been a year apart and Neville had always seemed like a decent chap.
The walk from Panquake House to Dogweed and Deathcap was short and, on this occasion, blustery. The shop, however, was warm and welcoming – at least, if you liked plants, which Andrew had never really considered whether he did or not. Having not planned this excursion in advance, he was pleased to see that Neville was already there. For all Andrew had known, he didn’t work Thursdays, or mornings, or didn’t come into the shop front at all but rather did things in some mysterious back room (or back greenhouse).
“Neville!” Andrew greeted, smiling. “Are you busy?”
