Oh Merlin, it's tomorrow. It feels like it's come so soon.

If someone takes the potion, ... I have no idea what will happen. I'd almost forgotten about this whole thing until I walked past the apothecary. What if my soulmate was one of those ~~weird~~ people queuing up?

I think I'm going to just stay at home and do some gardening. Or reading. Something. But definitely I'm staying at home.

Hi.

~~You should know this stuff, right?~~ I'm wondering... Do you know what's going to happen to me if my... soulmate, or whatever, takes the potion tomorrow? Will I feel anything or...? Am I going to know? ~~I'm so confused. And scared~~ Could you let me know what I might expect to possibly happen?

The garden ~~probably~~ definitely needs some looking after, what with all the snow and rain we've been having lately. It looks nice all covered in snow, it's just that some of the bushes and trees can get all bent out of shape and if frost sets in, it can really damage the tender plants. I think I'm just going to book the rest of the week off, if I can. ~~Get away from anyone~~ Have a few quiet days at home.

	Is it true you can't walk on snow covered grass because it makes it die? I think I remember hearing someone mention that but I don't know if I made it up or not. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, you're right. Not only can the grass get damaged just from walking on it, but underneath the compacted snow a fungus can develop. Snow just being on the grass is fine, it protects it from the frost actually, but stepping on it isn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. I think I might have killed the grass on our roof. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, that's a shame. I have some Grow Green Grass potion if you want to have a bit. Also, why were you on the roof? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would you mind Neville? It'd be absolutely darling of you. Oh! Well the flat I have has a little roof garden and I sort of tried my hand at growing some herbs and .. yes. My fingers aren't quite green. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah of course, want me to owl it and send you some instructions?

Roof gardens are quite wonderful, that's good that you have one. I had to move out of London because I really wanted a larger garden, but I used to grow things on the balcony our flat had. And Professor Sprout always said Herbology was something that you grew into, you'll get better at it the more you try. And talking to the plants really helps.

That would be lovely. So generous, thank you. I have gloves from an ill advised hair spell that would be perfect for using with the potion.

Talking to the plants? But what do plants like to talk about ? Do they care much about the goings on of Witch Weekly or is there a Herbology magazine I should consider getting?

I love the roof garden; its tranquil with the rooflines of the city in the background.

	If you need some help, let me know. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_longbottom 2013-02-13 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	That'd be really helpful actually, thanks. Want to come over tomorrow? Or Friday might be better for you, of course, whenever's best for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course, I'd be happy to help. Tomorrow is good. I don't have much to do but look after father. And he's been shooing me out of the house lately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Brilliant. Want to come over around 10am? We can get an early start and then maybe have some lunch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	10 sounds all right by me. I'll be there! (Reply to this) (Parent)

You should know very well that I am no longer a part of this Project. However, while you should have been paying attention to additional reporting on the results of testing among the First 100, I will digress as I clearly remember your incompetence from school.

From the results among the First 100 and test runs, you will be aware of your Soul Mate the moment that they take their potion, no matter which potion they take. They, however, will be limited to the specific brew they ingest. You will feel a pull toward them in their general direction, and they will be recognized through a colored aura. I hope you have, at least, paid attention to the Auras having been reported and their meanings.

Do you require further information regarding the effects of the Potion?
