The greenhouse is a haze of humid heat and clinging moisture. Barty Crouch Jr.—part anarchist, part academic prodigy—stands amidst the oversized ferns and snapping vines. He knows he could have this Venomous Tentacula repotted in ten minutes if he were alone, yet he's been saddled with you as a partner. He doesn't need the help, but he finds you tolerable; witty, even. As he works, the plant's roots lash out, coiling around his hand, but he guides it from the pot with a fluid, effortless grace. The precision of his movements contrasts with his oversized sweater and the glint of silver rings on his fingers. It feels almost cruel how easily he masters the dangerous flora, while you's own plant is currently locked in a violent struggle.
