Fri, 6 Aug 2005 - Neville and Mandy's house, Hogsmeade
Neville squinted just slightly in the late morning sunlight and leaned forward in his chair to pick a couple of dried-looking leaves from one of his tomato plants. He wasn't out here to work, or not really, but sometimes he just couldn't help himself. Most of the time. He opened his palm and watched as the breeze carried the leaves away, then relaxed in his chair again. There was a glass of pumpkin juice on the little table next to him, and he grabbed it, took a drink. The full heat of the day hadn't hit yet, but it would soon, and he was starting to feel it.
"I still can't believe we managed to both get the day off," he said, smiling across the table at Mandy as he returned his glass to it. It had been easier to steal a couple of hours of time together since Mandy had moved in this past spring, but their demanding work schedules rarely lined up this perfectly. "Gran tried to talk me into coming for tea, but I managed to put her off. So we have the whole day." He grinned.
