As he started preparing the tea leaves while waiting for the kettle to boil, he looked to his right and opened his mouth to answer the Gryffindor but she'd bounced to the left. He turned to the left to find that she was back on his right. There was just no way of making eye contact. The girl could not stay still. The times her mood changed in this short previous of time was ... something.

She was asking many questions and he was not prepared for social interaction. "There are tea leaves here, yes," he nodded mechanically because that was just the way he was. He didn't know how else to talk to strangers. He could only be at ease with very few people. "Yes. I went to school here, I am very familiar with the house elves," he told her setting two cup of teas on a small table. Waving his wand he extinguished the fire under the kettle and waited for the leaves to simmer.

Better start thinking of another chore for the fifth-year to get busy with after tea. Or during tea, too.

"OH yeah? That's cool. I think you're doing it right. We really should grow some BIG OLE PUMPKINS out here, too you know. And tomatoes. I didn't like tomatoes when I was little, but they're growing on me now. Is it true that chocolate grows on trees? I'm not trying to tell you what to do, you're the boss, but a chocolate tree would be a BIG hit, Professor W." JUST SAYING.

Tea time! Z was happily waiting on hers to cool a little, looking around the greenhouse, helping Professor Walton SEE what ALL they could grow to EAT! She took her seat. "THis is a GREAT place to have tea! I bet you really like being back? Were you a Ravenclaw?"
