Date: 2010-07-26 05:13 am (UTC)This reminds me of Fleur because while she might come off as soft and charming, she's actually quite stalwart and hearty. She's made it through difficult conditions such as hiding out, but always offers strength to those around her. She is beautiful, but uncommonly so, given her Veela heritage.
I'm not a botanist here, so perhaps there's a flower that could fit her better, it's the first thing that came to mind.

Thistles are known for being prickly, harmful, and not the prettiest flowers in the world. I think this is a good representation of Percy. Percy was always seen as being really harsh to everyone around him and rubbing people the wrong way. Even in the flowery kingdom, thistles aren't really included because unlike many other flowers, they are not considered gorgeous or for bouquets, so they are overlooked. Percy was overlooked in his family because he was the quiet, studious one, and the rest of his family were so loud and boisterous he had to stand out the only way he knew how. He didn't always go about it the right way (by being proud of being standoffish) but he had no other choice. He was who he was and he couldn't change it. Also, the spiky, hazardous bits on the thistle are there for protecting the plant against animals and those who want to do it harm, much like Percy's outward personality. Everyone picked on him, so he acted standoffish in order to keep people away. Finally, although thistles aren't normally considered beautiful, they are incredibly colorful and interesting as does Percy.

Date: 2010-07-26 02:50 pm (UTC)It might be a stretch, but that made me think of Neville.
Neville is beyond strong. He is capable of adapting to his surroundings. He's tolerate of harsh conditions. He's not graceful… and that's what I thought about when the leaves are described as "opposite". Deep down, though, he's exceptionally sweet. It takes a lot to anger him, but you'd better watch out once you've managed it.

I especially agree with that part.

Date: 2010-07-26 02:58 pm (UTC)It's not exactly the easiest thing in a world to open a pineapple and eat it, just as it isn't that easy to get into the Slug Club. But, once you get in (both to the pineapple and Slughorn's elite circle) the rewards are as sweet as imaginable!
I don't know that I would want to to be a part of the Slug Club, but I'm fairly average.

Date: 2010-07-26 10:36 pm (UTC)The name derives from the Greek word narkào that means narcotic, refering to the pungent and intoxicating smell of its flowers. I assimilate that to Narcissa's beauty, being intoxicating to everybody.
