Eddie had been all sorts of excited when his father said that he could bring his plants that he had gotten that summer from Gran's house. Neville had never let him bring stuff before, as he claimed that Eddie would get too caught up with life at school that he would forget about his plants and his duties to them. But he was tired of going back to Gran's house every christmas and summer to find all of his things dead. After a bit of begging on his part, Eddie knew all the right places to hit with Neville to get what he wanted, he was allowed for the first time to store his things in one of the greenhouses.
Neville had cleared out the whole back wall for Eddie to take over, which he was happily doing now. There hadn't been much time for him to spend down in the greenhouses the past couple of days, except to run down and water and feed the plants. Today, he planned on spending a bit of time with them, nurturing them like the babies he treated them as.
Eddie was the type of person who cooed at his plants, talking to them, which he really believed helped them to grow big and strong. Today, he had taken down his Transfiguration book so that he could start on the readings, which he was sure his plants would appreciate. Not long after he opened the book and started reading outloud, he heard footsteps behind him. Eddie hadn't even heard the door open.
