Tending to the gardens., Saturday morning. Open.

[Severus Snape]

Severus kneeled in small patch of dirt behind his house. The occupants of the house before him had taken the plot and used it as a mere vegetable patch. He couldn't understand the fool's reasons. The land was perfect for growing plants. Magical Plants. Being a skilled Potions Master one was forced to keep a well-kept garden.

So there he was, on his knees patting the dark earth bellow him. He had just planted a sprig of Monk's Hood. Sirius depended on him to make those bloody Wolf's Bane potions. The Dog got out of hand if he didn't have his potions. It was funny to see Sirius Black grovelling for such a simple thing as the potion.

He was dressed rather unorthodox from his usual style. He had searched through all of his wardrobe and the wardrobe left behind at the house, and he had only found one set of gardening robes. They were a dispicable yellow color with orange polka dots. He cringed when he put on. But he had no mind to get his other robes dirty. They were expensive.

If anybody saw him, he would be even more embarrassed than that day when Potter hung him up to dry.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Lucius came by he needed to borrow another official stamp for an Owl he had to send to Voldemort he came up to the patio and said "Hello Severus-could you..-"... he raised his eyebrow "Are you gardening"?! (His face: O.o..) Lucius leaned on his cane almost slipping in the soft ground. He looked at Severus's robes shocked That is very..very strange

[Severus Snape]

Severus was about to get up and go inside. He would have to check his ingrediants cabinet before planting anything. He knew that he needed to plant bubotuber, but other than that, he had no clue. But as he turned around, Lucius was standing in his way, with that infernal twig. "Yes. Where else do you think I would get my...things." Fool. "One word of this and by Dum....er...Phineus I'll have you dead so fast."

He had nearly slipped. Of course Dumbledor was a better wizard than Phineus, but bloody hell, he couldn't let Lucius hear that. He had almost ruined the whole operation. "What do you want?" He snapped. The robes were not pleasant looking or pleasant feeling, and he wanted to get done as soon as possible.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Did he almost say "Dumbledore"? Thought Lucius his mind whirling Maby it was a mistake he stared at Snape uneasily for some reason he felt the knot that had been there sense the party tangle up in his stomache again an aura of distrust fell of the garden Your being paranoid..stop thinking about it..It was a slip of the tongue he thought nervously calming himself "I need our official seal in order to send my letters to Him but I have run out could I borrow one? Its very important" Was his mind playing tricks on him? He leaned on his cane and looked away

[Severus Snape]

Severus noted Lucius' awkwerd silence. He had almost ruined the operation, and to top it off, fizzle-britches was starting to catch on. As the Death Eater asked for stamps, Severus nodded, and walked towards his house. As soon as he got to the door, he removed a large skeleton key, and unlocked the front door. He entered and quickly shut it. After a few moments, he returned with what Malfoy asked for and a small box. "Please, give this to Narcissa. It'll help her with the pains." Inside the box was a small bottle filled with a purple liquid. A heavy cork was stopping the top of the bottle.

[Lucius Malfoy]

He took them with a nod of thanks he made a whistling sound and called a large barn owl he used a trees stump and took out his self inking quill writing something undistinguishable on a peice of parchment he had keapt in his robes and patted his owl whistling and tying the letter to it's foot he whistled again and the owl took off without making a sound He blinked watching it dissapear then said "I must be off thankyou for the stamps and the pills" he took off down the street his eyes were blank and staring indicating he was somewhere entirley different in his thoughts. He diddn't bother Dissaperating as if he was in a hurry to get back to the Manor? Narcissa was gone during the day..no ministry work, he knew that if he went back he would prowl the hallways untill he slowly went mad.
