Pokemon Trading Card Collection Challenge: Panpour - Bronze - (action) Someone is watering plants.


Hermione watched Draco water the plants in their own personal greenhouse from the patio. While in school, she would have never believed Draco to have any sort of green thumb—he never seemed that keen on Herbology—but Draco spent at least a couple of hours each day with his plants. Some days, he spent even more time. Those days with the longer hours were usually following an exceptionally bad night of sleep.

Arms wrapped around her from behind, and a kiss was pressed to her cheek.

"I don't get the thing with Draco and plants," Harry softly mused in her ear.

Hermione rolled her eyes. Boys didn't understand things that were as complicated as emotions. "It's like you and flying. It relaxes him, brings him peace."

"He still has nightmares about Voldemort," Harry remarked.

"I know. That' why gardening is so important for Draco. It makes him smile," Hermione replied.

She wanted to go to Draco, but she and Harry both knew better than to disturb him in the greenhouse. The first and only time they did it, Draco got so angry that he brandished his wand as if he was going to hex them.

They never stepped foot in the greenhouse again, unless they were invited.

Harry shifted behind her, and Hermione finally tore her eyes away from the greenhouse scene. "We should get lunch ready. You know how hungry Draco gets after spending a whole morning in the greenhouse."

Harry chuckled, grabbed her hand, and pulled her towards the back door. "Come on."

An hour later, Harry and Hermione were setting the plates on the table when Draco ambled in, lightness in his step and a smile on his face. He kissed both Harry and Hermione on the lips.

There was no darkness in his eyes when he asked, "So, what are we going to do the rest of the day?"

Harry and Hermione shared a look.

"What do you have in mind?" Harry asked.
