Smiling wistfully because she had really loved her first job, Juniper thought way back to before her kids. "I worked for a herbology researcher in the Amazon right after I graduated," she said. That had been so much fun. She missed the brainpower that job required. "Then later, I ran my own small greenhouse that supplied the local apothecary and a few potions-makers. The greenhouse didn't have any dangerous plants, though. Just the basic flutterby bushes, some vegetables, not too many mandrakes." After all, there was always the chance her kids would wander in and try to play with a pretty plotted plant. She couldn't have any Devil's snare sitting around with those risks.

A youth Quidditch tournament? That was something her sons and daughter would absolutely love. If it had been Gobstones, maybe not, but those kids loved the action of Quidditch. And maybe they would want to make some local friends who also liked Quidditch. Maybe even Gabriel would come. "That sounds like quite an undertaking! I'll try to bring my family, I'm sure they'd love to support the Ministry and see some sports." Oh, Mariel had children, too! Juniper hadn't thought to ask. "Yes, I have three boys and one daughter," Juniper said. "Isabella's about to start at Hogwarts, actually. She's very excited about it."

"How long until your kids go to Hogwarts?" Juniper asked. She was assuming it would be a few years, since she was a bit older than Mariel.

Mariel turned slightly towards Juniper as she ate, listening as she spoke. "Oh, the Amazon? I actually have a vacation home in Brazil. I got married there." She didn't know exactly which part of South America Juniper had worked in or how close it would have been to her house, but it seemed enough like a small world coincidence to her. She did wonder where her greenhouse would have been, whether it was local or not. Not that she held much interest in plants, but she did brew many of her own potions and would find it interesting if she had purchased something Juni had grown herself.

She laughed lightly. "It has really kept us on our toes these past few months, but I know it will be worth it. It will be a great time for the community and it will be the next step in hosting the World Cup." That was what her goal was and she knew if she could pull this off it would look so good in her favor. Oh good, she would love it if she brought her children. Four? Mariel wasn't sure she could handle that many. "Oh, really? Mine are still pretty young yet. Regina is four and Alejandro is two." It seemed like most people she knew from school either had children quite a bit older than hers or none at all. Funny. "I'm not sure that they'll be going to Hogwarts though." Not after what she experienced or knew about the school since, but she wouldn't judge someone else for that decision.
