A/N: I only own Vivi.
Fun fact of the day: Vivi's favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz. However, she's not a huge fan of the sequel, Return to Oz.
Plant them a particularly sensitive Mimbulus Mimbletonia
Petunia and Vernon went back inside while Dudley went to the park to meet some friends. Vivi and Harry, however, stayed outside.
"What's a Mimbulus Mimbletonia?" Vivi asked Harry while she read the list.
"A plant." Harry replied. "Remember Neville Longbottom? He's bringing it here."
"Right." Vivi said while she nodded. "He's my partner in Herbology and a good friend."
Harry smiled and said, "He's coming in a few hours. It will take a while for him to find the house. Ok?"
Vivi gave Harry the thumbs up sign and said, "Got it." Vivi opened the picnic basket and took out some chips. "We shouldn't let this food go to waste should we?"
"Certainly not." Harry agreed.
"We should save something for Neville."
"Of course we will."
"He will probably be hungry. You know what?"
"What?"
"We should probably go wait out front so he can find us."
"I agree with you on that."
Vivi and Harry moved the basket and blanket out front.
"Harry, what's your favorite movie?" Vivi asked.
"I really like Grease." Harry replied. (A/N: I made this up)
"Wizard of Oz and Footloose are two of my favorites. I really like the song 'Let's hear it for the boy.'"
"That is a nice song."
Vivi closed her eyes and lied down on the blanket. "Please wake me when Neville gets here." Vivi asked Harry.
"Will do." Harry replied.
Vivi dreamt that she was back in the time of cowboys and farmers. Much like the movie/musical Oklahoma! everyone was square dancing. The girls did some ballet.
"Vivi, wake up." A voice said.
"Neville's here." Another voice said.
Vivi sat up sleepily. "Hello Neville." Vivi greeted happily. She hugged her friend. "What goes on these days?"
Neville returned the hug and replied, "Not too much."
"So, what is a Mimbulus Mimbletonia?" Vivi asked.
Neville held up a plant. It looked like a cactus. It had a ton on spikes. There were boils all over the plant.
"That looks gross." Vivi couldn't help but say.
"I agree." Harry said. "It does have a unique way of defending itself."
"Dare I ask what that may be?"
"Neville, care to explain?"
"It makes a weird noise when touched." Neville explained. "Then it squirts it predator with Stinksap. That's a dark green liquid and smells like manure."
"Ok, let's do this." Vivi said.
"Where are we putting this?" Neville asked.
Vivi turned to Harry and asked, "Is there any room in the garden?"
Harry shook his head. "I'm afraid not." He said.
"Darn." Vivi said. She thought for a moment. "How about we take this inside and say it's a gift?" She suggested. "Neville, do you need this back anytime soon?"
"No, you can keep it as long as you want." Neville offered.
"Thanks Neville."
"You're welcome. I have to go. My gram will be looking for me."
"Bye." Vivi and Harry chorused.
Neville hugged his friends before he got on his broom and flew away. Harry picked up the plant and followed Vivi, who grabbed the blanket and basket. Vivi opened the back door. Vernon barely looked up as the two teens came in. Petunia looked at the Mimbulus Mimbletonia.
"What's that?" Petunia asked.
"A gift." Harry replied. "We wanted to say sorry about the gnomes." Harry put the plant down onto the table.
"We hope you enjoy this plant." Vivi said. "We're going upstairs now."
Dudley, who was watching Ahhh! Real Monsters, looked away from the TV. He took in the plant's appearance.
"It's called a Mimbulus Mimbletonia." Vivi added. She went upstairs with Harry.
"That thing is ugly." Dudley commented.
"It sure is Dudley." Petunia agreed. She leaned in closer to the plant. "Are those boils?"
"I don't know dear." Vernon replied. He poked a boil.
The plant let out a weird noise. The plant squirted the Dursleys.
"Vivi!" Vernon shouted. "Potter!"
