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.

	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.
