    Summary

    Pansy Parkinson was the last person Neville expected to find in the underbelly of the ministry archives. Neville Longbottom is the absolute last thing Pansy needs disrupting the secluded life she's carefully carved out for herself.

    Too bad for both of them, he's never been one to walk away from a flower in need.

    “Hello?” he called out, before knocking on the tightly shut door. The space was so eerily quiet and empty, that for a moment he wondered if anyone had remembered that they were supposed to meet him here. “Erm…I’ve got an appointment? Longbottom? Here to see ah… the… well, I suppose the archivist?”

    There was the sound of a chair scraping against the floor and several objects being moved around. Then the door opened just a fraction.

    “You’re here about the Malfoy property records?” Asked a prim little voice from behind the barrier.

    “I am.”

    A pale, delicate hand slipped through the crack in the door and handed him a too-slim folder.

    He took note of the slender fingers that held the folder before the hand disappeared once more; they ended in pearlescent pink-tipped nails.

    Merlin, he really was a fool for pretty hands.

    Summary

    Pansy Parkinson isn't used to acts of kindness, least of all from Gryffindors. So when Neville Longbottom catches her off-guard with something startlingly close to genuine care, she doesn't quite know how to handle it and soon finds herself drawn into the mud-spattered humidity of the greenhouse, elbows-deep in a pair of truly abhorred gardening gloves.
    But under storm clouds and soil-soaked truths, something unexpected takes root; something soft, strange, and maybe worth holding onto.

    Summary

    Neville Longbottom has spent the majority of his life trying to live up to the legacy set by his parents. To do what they would have done, to make them proud. So when he discovers what is about to happen to one of his former classmates, agreeing to help her is an easy promise to make.

    Even if it means marrying Pansy Parkinson.

    As her secrets unfold, however, and he begins to see beyond her manipulations to the person she truly is, he begins to question how he will ever be able to keep his promise to free her in the end.
