The feeling that, rather be in a place that tended to structure itself around academia, she was in a place that was a reflection of another's passions.
Walking along, her hand gently running itself over the leaves and petals of the flora as she went, the Hufflepuff knelt down in one area and dipped her fingers into the soil and smiled. The ground was well loved here...although there was a sense of something intruding...which cause her blue eyes to glance around the area until they fell upon a small patch of intrusive green that she was sure Professor Myers had not intended to be a part of his garden.
Removing her fingers from the ground, dirt caught under her finger nails, Paige scooted closer and began using both hands to lift the weeds out of the ground, roots and all.
Mason had not been sure at first if he could enter this garden. After all, the sign said 'Professor Myer's garden' and not 'free for all garden' and if he wasn't allowed inside he'd simply say that he thought he could enter and would apologise. No harm in doing that. However, it was at that moment that a girl with a Hufflepuff badge walked past him and began to take care of the flowers.
Either she had not seen him or he had been ignored.
He watched her for a moment as she walked around and tested the dirt with her fingers. Whatever she was doing, she seemed to be smiling so that was a good thing right?
"It would go much faster if you used magic" he said as he gotten closer and stood next to her.
