Has anyone else have people show up in Mayfield from... really far before them? All these people keep showing up that are about my parents' age, but here they're barely older than I am. I'm... really not sure what to do about it.

[Neville really is just trying to go about his business, but it seems the drones just won't leave him be today.]

Happy birthday, Neville!

Uh... thanks?

[Person I don't actually know...]

[And how is Neville spending his birthday? Tending his garden, of course.]

[Phone B]

So, uh... could someone explain to me why all the drones keep asking me if I'm going to get my license now?

I'm Neville. Pleased to meet you. I've always had a bit of a knack with plants, so I figure this is a way I can help here.

You're rather like a friend of mine - he's very good at making his plants grow. [ He smiles softly. ] Your garden is looking particularly beautiful. I've never really had the knack for plants and flowers.

It's the only thing I'm actually good at in school.

I'm sure that's not true. [ He smiles. ] Every person has an abundance of hidden qualities they learn about as time goes on.

Well, there's some I'm alright at, good enough to go onto NEWTS with. But nothing quite like Herbology.

Herbology - I am assuming that is the study of plantlife. What sort of things do you learn?

Re: action (kramden)

Magical properties, mostly. And how to raise plants properly, of course. Most of what I have planted is for healing.
