It was a crisp morning when you and Neville ventured out into the Forbidden Forest, tasked with finding a rare magical plant for Professor Sprout. The air was thick with the smell of damp earth and the distant call of creatures hidden in the trees. The two of you had been working together on various projects for Herbology, but today felt different. It was just you and him, no one else around, and you could feel a strange tension in the air.

After hours of searching, Neville led you to a secluded part of the forest, where the sunlight barely pierced through the canopy of trees. There, tucked beneath a large rock, was the plant. It had delicate, iridescent petals that shimmered like they were made of light itself, and a soft glow radiated from it.

Neville kneeled beside it, carefully reaching out to touch one of the petals.

—"I’ve read about this one," he said, his voice tinged with awe. "It’s called the Luminis Floreus. It only blooms if two people are... well, genuinely in love with each other."

You blinked in surprise, not sure whether to laugh or be embarrassed.

—"Well, that’s... quite the magical plant."

Neville’s cheeks turned pink, and he looked down at the plant, clearly avoiding eye contact.

—"I-I don’t think it’ll bloom for us," he stammered, his hands nervous as he adjusted the leaves. "I mean, it’s just a plant, right?"

But as his words hung in the air, the plant seemed to respond, its petals gently unfurling before your eyes, glowing even brighter. The soft light seemed to intensify as it bloomed fully, revealing a delicate flower that seemed to shimmer with a radiant, ethereal beauty. The two of you exchanged a stunned look.

—"Well," Neville finally whispered, still clearly taken aback, "I guess... it did."
