"Goodmorning Zoe!"Neville had followed Proffessure Sprout into the hospital Wing.He had overheard that nearly headless Nick was also petrified.The idea scared him.How could a ghost,an already dead human being,get petrified?

"We are-I mean mainly Proffessure Sprout.I have no main reason for being there other than taking care of mandrakes."He chuckled sheepishly,taking notice of Snape barging into the place"She is working with Proffessure Snape on a potion for all of you."

"Hermione,She got petrified too.I am surprised I wasn't as well..I am clumsy and all."He had to deal with Snape's odd stares,along with Proffessure Sprout's.

"So......wait you won't answer but can you hear me?"

He was confused.Does it work like that?

"Okay okay...I'll just go.I hope you....Gosh I don't know how to speak."The boy facepalmed silently,heading out of the door.

Neville does not like snooping.

And that's exactly what Raven and Draco were doing in the greenhouse.

"Are you guys alright?"

Draco rolled his eyes in response,"Pfsh,yeah.We thought it would be a great idea to get tangeled in plant veins.Get us the merlin out of this,Longbottom!"

"Hey don't shout at him,Idiot!"Both of them were laying on the floor in an awkward position.Green veins were internwined around their ankles and abdomens.Neville quickly untangled them-trying his best not to cut the plants.

"What are you doing here?"Neville folded his arms,running his hand in his blonde locks.Raven pointed at Draco,"Well,Mr.Malfoy over here could tell you.I am leaving.I have homework to catch up to."

They saw Raven dissappear from view.From the greenhouse and into the castle."What do you want?"Neville thought it was too rude to say that,but he had already said it."I wanted to ask if you found a cure already."Draco huffed impatiently.

"No.Not yet.Although,Proffessure Snape and Proffessure Sprout are looking for a cure.They are collecting ingredients."He informed him,getting off his robes and watering certain plants.Draco hummed,folding his arms on his chest.

"You want Zoe back don't you?"Neville asked,huffing slightly when he added a couple more drops of water."To some extend.We have you for insecurities and such,we have Raven for..a human walking sunray,and we have Zoe for death,destruction,and sarcasem."

"...What are you here for then?"

"I am just medeled in this mess.I obviously didn't want to be here."Draco rolled his grey eyes sarcastically.

They spend a few minutes in silence.Neville watering the plants while Draco snoopes around curiously.

"Are you and Raven trying to find something that might've petrified them?"Neville asked,a bit curious what the two slytherins do."Yes.It can't be a person.A potion or a spell would be temporary.Raven believes it's an animal.I am not sure how."

"What kind of animal could link to Salazar Slytherin?"
"A snake."

"Bingo.Just look for some kind of snake that would petrify and used to resident in Hogwarts."

Draco stayed silent for a few moments,before turning to walk out."Thanks,Neville."

"Anytime."
