A/N: I do not own Harry Potter.

It was cold, so cold. Hannah wrapped a blanket around herself to try and keep warm. It had been cold ever since the dementors left Azkaban.

Cold and dark, she didn't know if she could take it anymore. It felt like it had been ages since she had seen the sun. She glanced at the plants in her window.

Most of them had wilted under the lack of light and heat. One however, seemed the be thriving. It had new green leaves the color of uncut emeralds and was starting to shoot up tiny stalks which appeared to be buds.

She didn't remember purchasing this particular plant, but there had been a sale a month or so ago. She'd bought all the plants she could carry. She had planned to put them in the common room and watch them grow.

Shaking her head she frowned. That had changed. Even the magic warmth of the Hufflepuff common room wouldn't help them now. She picked up her unusual plant. She would bring this one.

Maybe Professor Sprout would know what it was? An idea popped into her head. Neville. They shared a herbology class, he knew a lot about plants, and he was cute!

Maybe she'd find him on the train and show it to him first. Yes, that would work. With a smile on her face, Hannah grabbed the rest of her school things and headed to the station.
