Board Meetings and Bows

Those who fail him, they claim, are consumed by his gardens. They are unaware, though, that I have been talking to plants my whole life—and now the fate of the kingdom hinges on their response. I wanted no attention at all. Enough risk is involved growing illegal miraculous blossoms in my small rural garden. However, I find the reason the king's gardens are withering and why all five gardeners before me have vanished when royal guards transport me to the palace. The gardens provide more than only aesthetic purposes. They're the kingdom's last defense. Constant observation by Crown Prince Thorne, his silver eyes frigid as the winter gradually kills his territory. The court mumbles he killed the past gardeners for failing, but I detect despair in his eyes. Each day I coax life from the wilting magical plants, I feel the protective wards strengthening. Each night, I sense the shadowy creatures straining our bounds, getting stronger, hungrier. Should I fail, I should detest the haughty prince threatening punishment. Instead, I find myself pulled to the man beneath the thorny crown—a monarch willing to become the villain in whispered legends if it means saving his people. As my power develops with odd new blossoms no one has seen before, so does the threat. The prince's foes conspire within the royal walls, the magical barriers decrease with each passing day, and my heart treacherously softens toward the man who cannot afford to love me back. They believe his gardens eat those who disappoint him. What they don't know is what happens when a wild magic like mine begins to overwhelm me.

This is a repost of the story I publish on Wattpad :D As the title says this is a Hermione x Male reader kind of book, this is going to be my own take on the harry potter story as i will change some things, not a lot of them, but i'll add some plot to it, all the characters (except mine) and writing you recognize belong to J.K Rowling. I've been inspired by a lot of authors in this app, reading through their books gave me the inspiration to write one of my own. This story is being made by two people, me (Ivan), and my wife (Emy), usually I come up with the ideas and write, she helps me organize them, as i tend to be pretty disorganized with my ideas, she also helps me make the conversations feel natural, or at least try to.
