The contents of one of the greenhouses have been, well, for the most part, removed. There are still plants scattered against the walls, and trees, and other things, but Paul wanted a big space for his Hufflepuffs to have their WELCOME party!

The ground is covered in canvas drop cloths that Paul thought were probably necessary so that his greenhouse wasn’t a total mess after this fun fun FUUUUUN activity. Also, canvas was MUCH more environmentally friendly than plastic or tarp. So there. All ready for the mess! There were no tables except for one off to the side that held the food that Henric had supposedly provided. Paul hadn’t inspected it yet. He hoped he could trust the boy not to poison everyone, right? There were cupcakes, chocolate chip muffins, pumpkin pies, apple pies, peach pies, finger sandwiches and a chocolate fountain with marshmallows and fruits to go along with all that. Paul had ALSO included pumpkin juice, tea, hot chocolate, water, and a MIGHTILY SPECIAL juicer so that the students could literally make any fruit juice they wanted from the fruits provided! His need to cater for everyone’s needs was definitely showing. He told Henric to bring along anything else he could think of.

They were not lacking in food at all.

He had told the students to wear old clothes because for this activity...they were PAINTING pots! However, next to the door of the greenhouse was a box of smocks that Paul thought were absolutely darling for the students to wear while painting. He was sporting a blue one himself because he thought they were just so darn cute.

Let the students arrive and the party begin!
