Author's Notes: The title is a crude parody of Mario Vargas Llosa's brilliant book "Pantaleon y las Visitadoras." Even if Vargas Llosa stooped so low as to read this fic, I'm sure he wouldn't take exception – the idea is roughly the same.

And many thanks to my wonderful beta, Minnow, who rose to the occasion.

Like Poison

Title: Make Our Garden Grow
Characters: Percy/Penelope
Rating: PG-13
Warning(s): Dark at times, with bits of nastiness by Death Eaters.
Length: 3,758
Summary: To make a garden grow together is a work of love. To reconstruct a life is even more so.

The title, Make Our Garden Grow, is from Leonard Bernstein's Candide.
Author's Notes: The timing is a bit off – this should be at most late May/early June, but the story starts right after Percy finished school, as he's starting to work for Barty Crouch Sr., which is supposedly July timeframe. So I guess this is slightly AU. And, of course, this ignores the Epilogue and/or Audrey's existence.
