The country could mean a lot of things, but August decided not to say that - he was learning more about her now than he had in their entire conversation so far, so he could not poke fun at her now.

He smiled instead. "What do you garden?" he asked, "I took N.E.W.T. Herbology but haven't really planted anything since, unfortunately." He knew people who gardened, women who gardened, mostly - but had never paid much attention to his garden as an adult. That was, perhaps, a shame.
