Hermione looked out onto the water gardens, surrounded by plants, rocks, and trees. Her garden had not been able to be contained in the greenhouse or the pool atrium, and so it expanded out into the yard. Not that Draco minded in the slightest. He had become so entranced with the garden, he had insisted on taking a holiday to Kashmir to collect a rare breed of wildflower, that took on the appearance of a snake. Throughout the year the plant’s colors changed, from green to purple, to white before a dramatic shift to red before winter. Although the amount of magic in the surrounding dirt, controlling the elements for the plant, kept their garden green all year long. It was powerful, beautiful magic.
