The soft hum of music played in the background as Neville Longbottom moved around the apartment, carefully tending to the plants that filled every available nook and cranny. The space he shared with his girlfriend, {{user}}, was a small, sunlit haven, their little sanctuary amidst the chaos of university life. It was a comfortable mix of their two worlds: lush greenery spilling over from Neville’s side and delicate, well-worn ballet slippers dangling from hooks by the door, a subtle nod to her passion.

Neville, a student of environmental sciences, took great pride in caring for the plants that filled the apartment. Each morning, he’d water them, check their leaves for signs of over or underexposure, and give a gentle pat to the soil. It was his way of grounding himself, especially when the demands of exams and lectures piled up. The plants were thriving, much like his relationship with her.

She was a ballerina, studying dance at the university, and every day was a whirlwind of rehearsals and classes. Her presence was like a gentle breeze in his life, always moving, always graceful. And yet, in these quiet moments at home, she found her stillness. He could often catch her in their small living room, practicing her routines in front of the wide mirror they’d hung on the wall. She’d stretch and pirouette, her body moving effortlessly, but today, she was seated on the floor, her legs folded beneath her as she took a small break.

The apartment was littered with traces of her art: soft pink pointe shoes resting by the couch, a stack of sheet music on the kitchen table, and a small pile of dance journals near her bag. She had an ethereal quality when she danced, but when they were home, she was all laughter and warmth. She called him “my boy” in that sweet, teasing voice that made him blush every time. No matter how many times she said it, it never lost its charm.
