Living with Neville Longbottom…
inspired by a request wanting mundane moments w Neville !! <3 this is a bit messy but oh well!
Drinking tea (or coffee) and having breakfast every morning together.
Whether you get up early or sleep in until noon, Neville loves to have breakfast together.
He’ll be in the kitchen humming to himself, towel hung over his shoulder. Sometimes he’ll be so lost in his thoughts he’ll sway to his own humming - you have a picture tucked away somewhere.
Plants galore. They are everywhere. It’s okay if you don’t have a green thumb, Neville more than makes up for it. On your two year anniversary, he gifted you a plant that seemed rather dowdy at first…
“I got you this as well.” Neville revealed the plant that had been hidden until now.
It was a dark green with spiky leaves, several shoots sprouting off with hidden leaves not uncurled yet.
“Oh, thank you, Neville.” You examine it with a smile.
It might not have been a bouquet of flowers, but it fit Neville and your’s relationship far better.
“All it needs is some water once every two weeks, and lots of sunshine,” Neville says, “I was thinking that spot on the windowsill, next to your books, would be ideal.”
“What should I name it?” You twist it around by the base, trying to think of the perfect name.
“Well, maybe give it a few days and something will come to you.” Neville smiles.
“I love you, Neville.”
“I love you.”
. . .
The plant stood in the spot that Neville had advised, indeed looking perfect with the light coming down. It’s leaf color turning from dark green into a olive green with specks.
You blew it a kiss, cringing at the corniness but it reminded you of Neville when he wasn’t around.
With a laugh and a light step, you turned away busy with cleaning the rest of the house. It was small and didn’t take long, but still, an hour passed. And then, two, before you were done.
Satisfied with the cleanliness, you flourished your wand to get the kettle boiling. A teabag floating out of the cupboards into your favorite mug, the kettle following with the perfect temperature of hot water.
You let the magic weave itself into the air, finishing your tea with the extras you enjoyed. Turning to the windowsill you freeze.
The plant is practically glowing in the afternoon light. Leaves vibrant and almost translucent. The sprouts that had been dormant for weeks had flourished open, revealing gorgeous purple flowers. They twinkled with a soft melody with the breeze that came through the open window.
You waited impatiently for Neville to arrive home.
But, really, you read a book and had cups of tea. Always glancing at the plant and its beautiful blossoms.
Dinner was already in the process of being almost ready, when Neville finally stepped through the front door.
You sprung up, book falling with a thump.
“Neville!” You embraced him tightly, clutching the back of his woolen sweater.
“Hello, love.” Neville grinned at your over the top reaction, holding you just as closely. “Missed me that much?”
“Always, darling, always.” You say, voice muffled against his chest.
“I love you so much, you know that right? You’re so good to me.”
Neville looks confused at your sudden confession, but his cheeks flush pink.
“Of course, I do. I love you so so much.”
“The plant has flowers!” You point to the plant that has lost some of its luster with the setting sun, but it still looks brilliant. “It’s so gorgeous. Not that it wasn’t before, but it’s so wonderful now.”
“I wanted it to be a surprise.” Neville says, walking over to the plant to inspect it. “Have you thought of a name?”
“Penelope.”
“Penelope? That’s rather fitting.”
Neville will want to match clothes, even though he pretends he doesn’t.
Neville secretly matches clothes with you, thinking he’s being discreet. If you wear something blue, he’s wearing something blue. Green? Green. Pink? Pink.
You love it, acting oblivious to it.
In fact, you buy him pieces that complement your own.
Your favorite is matching socks with him, especially the green ones that have plants on them. He has multiple pairs that he wears almost exclusively to work, but you like to steal a pair on occasion to see if he notices.
Going to the farmer’s market together!!
“There’s that farmer’s market open today, we should go.” You tap Neville’s leg under the table with your foot.
“I heard that Mrs. Agnes is going to be there and I’ve been meaning to talk about her plant’s health-“ Neville lights up, talking about the local plant nursery’s owner. A very kind and sweet older woman.
“Great, we’ll be there all day.” You tease.
“You can enjoy the ice cream shop, love.”
“I always do.”
Neville does in fact spend over an hour exchanging tips and tricks, leaving you to wander the aisles of booths before going to the ice cream shop on the corner of the street.
You order a second bowl of ice cream, and a few minutes later, Neville walks in straight to you.
“My favorite.” He says, touched that you remember every time.
“For dinner, I was thinking we could make soup.”
“Soup!? It’s august!”
“I’m craving soup!”
After bickering for a few more minutes, you both leave hand-in-hand.
And, you do have soup that night.
Sitting outside with him while he tends to the garden/yard.
Neville will be outside, garden gloves on, pulling weeds and what not — notebook beside him as he takes notes on whatever is changing.
You have a designated spot in the back garden, by the tree with shade. Neville had installed a hammock swing chair when you first moved in, and it’s perfect for reading or simply relaxing.
He’ll go inside for a break, and come back with a fresh drink and snack for you. Listening as you tell him what’s going on with your book.
When it’s too cold for the garden, you’ll be curled up on the couch with a blanket and a book while Neville tends to the plants inside.
You rarely speak during these moments, but it’s comforting to have his presence there.

that’s all for now!! I might reblog with more if I think of anything, hope you all enjoy!! especially @planetary-dream thank u for the request 🫶

PJSK ships i like!! (wonder how many of these would get me tracked down and murdered on Twitter but it's like half 3 as i'm typing this so anxiety has clocked out for the night since i'm too tired to care and i have no fear right now)
Anhane!!! the only ship i 100% definitely ship romantically the rest here i see in a QPR type of way
Mizuenaaaaa i ADORE their dynamic with the banter, yet also clear trust they have in each other it's just. such a good pairing and their voices are amazing together too
most Rui relationships cause he deserves all the besties ever but mainly i love Emurui, Mizurui, Ruinene and lately been. extremely normal about Shizurui. yes. a very very rare pair. i am so very normal about themmmmmm. Pandemonium Chapter 6 i love
Shizuairi is cute i've been liking both characters much much more lately so have payed more attention to themmm
i feel like pretty much all ships within L/n like?? work??? they're all just SO cute, underrated unit fr. polyneed shippers i get you
i started liking Emunene after Close Game Offline event
Kohane and Toya are very sweet to me, wish they had more interactions beyond the main story but Sega just seems to hate the M/F friendships in VBS
Shizukasa is really cute with the childhood friends thing, especially that one chapter in Pandemonium
White Day Trio are the FUNNIEST dynamic ever. especially Mizuki and Akito. besties-frenemies fr
Mizuruian. another Kamikou trio i love. also another one with comedic potential- a hall monitor having to deal with her bestie who's skipping 90% of the time and her bestie's bestie who causes chaos for her on the daily
i don't like. ship them cause i haven't ever seen them interact but i CLEARLY want them to since i've mentioned them in like three posts before. Sega i am begging pretty pretty please let Ena and Rui meeeeeet please this is purely because they're my two faves i am unashamedly biased. i need to see what Shinonome #1 thinks of Rui- has she heard gossip from Mizuki and her brother?? does she have a preconceived idea of Mr Kamishiro in her head?? will that be completely confirmed or thrown out the window upon actually meeting him??? i (Leo/)NEED to know
