 mentions galore Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia
Luke was here, though he wasn't entirely sure he wanted to be. But it was better than staying at the house by himself. Solitude wasn't normally a problem for him, but being alone there...it just wasn't appealing.
So since he'd decided to come here with his mom, he was going to help with the planting. It seemed like a better use of his time, and it was...it would be something good to do. Even if it wasn't much, it was something he could do in his dad's memory.
He selected a sapling and noticed a couple other blokes (Curtis and Phillip) participating in planting too. Probably...best to give them some space and find another spot for this sapling. He wandered around the garden, searching for the best spot.

There was no way Regina was going to miss the official opening ceremony. Even if it was somber and heavy, she had to be here for her family. All of them, even the one who was no longer with them.
She'd seen her mom meandering thoughtfully around the garden, but decided to take a seat beside her sister Kimmie for now. She looked at her for a moment, then turned her eyes to focus on the rotating plinth. So many names...
"It's still so strange that it's been over a year already."

Lucy, maybe, should've made sitting with Kimmie and Regina her first priority, but her restless energy kept her from being able to sit still. And besides, she had a mission of sorts. And she wanted it done before she searched for her dad's name under the phoenix statue.
Once Regina had pointed her in the right direction, she was off. Time to put some of her Quodpot money to good use.
And maybe she didn't need her sister's direction after all, since an older blonde woman had announced herself (Vivi) and the "glowering male" (Kaiser) as the ones to talk to. The clipboards were a good indicator too.
So Lucy approached them. "I want to sponsor a stone."

Her mum was around here somewhere, patrolling for her job, and her dad and Sage were having a go at the Zap-a-Snitch station, but Ivy wanted to visit the memorial garden herself. It was... Well, it seemed like something she ought to do. Like the right thing to do. Even if there were a lot of memories surrounding the events that led to this that she usually tried not to think about, she felt it was important to participate and honor the sacrifices so many people had made.
The design of the phoenix was very striking, and she was drawn immediately towards it to get a closer look. And that was when she spotted Ashley nearby. Was she crying?
Ivy immediately wanted to give the girl a hug, but she also wasn't sure whether her fellow Ravenclaw would be okay with her suddenly invading her personal space like that. So Ivy settled for reaching a hand out to gently rest on Ashley's shoulder. "Hey, Ash," she said softly. "You okay?"
