Neville was working late in his personal greenhouse – his gigantic Mimbulus mimbletonia was getting ready to reproduce. Unlike other plants, who produced flowers or spores, his Mimbulus was quite unique – for a grey plant covered in boils full of stink sap, that is. His pet plant was about to give birth.

“I didn't know there were any viviparous plants – if that's even the correct term for it,” Bill commented as he entered the greenhouse. Since Neville had missed dinner, Bill had brought along a covered tray of food, which was currently floating behind him.

“What do you expect from a grey plant?” Neville laughed. “It's not like it's a typical plant in any other way, is it?”

“That's for sure,” Bill agreed. “Here, you should eat something. It looks like it could be a long night, and you'll need your strength for later.”

Neville munched on the sandwich Bill had brought, and perched on a nearby stool. He chatted with Bill about how the day had gone – the Slytherins were still pants at Herbology and Bill swore there was someone worse at Potions than Neville had been – and before long, it was nearly midnight.

The Mimbulus' pulsating motions increased, as the bulge in its side grew even larger. It looked a bit like one of its defensive boils, but it appeared there was more than just Stinksap inside it.

Suddenly, the bulge burst, and amidst the goo that came out, was a small, grey plant about the size of a human baby – after all, Neville's Mimbulus did take up most of the greenhouse. Neville, the proud papa, had a new pot ready for it, and promptly planted the newest member of his family.
