Cirsium altissimum / Tall Thistle at the North Carolina Botanical Gardens at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, NC

Unlike some other thistles, the cobweb thistle is not invasive and makes a wonderful addition to a dry landscape. It occurs in California and other western states in the U.S.

Hide and Seek
Author: Cirsium
Description: Severus and Hermione have both been confined to Grimmauld Place for months - Hermione since finishing her N.E.W.T.s and Severus since the Dark Lord discovered his true allegiance. When the Fidelius Charm is breached by a group of Death Eaters, the Order members run for a series of hiding places built into Headquarters. But when Severus and Hermione end up having to squeeze into the same one, fear is the last thing on their minds.
Review: This was a really great quick fic to get back into reading this pairing. I've been on a bit of a hiatus and this was the perfect oneshot to get me back into the spirit of Sevmione <3
