She had work to be done and it didn't matter to her if she worked with someone or alone. As long as she had a partner in name, she wouldn't get in trouble, she thought. Glancing over at her again, she decided there was something familiar about this girl. She smirked as she stifled a laugh. Something familiar, indeed.

Turning back to her planter, she was startled to feel someone tapping her on her shoulder. "Oh, hey, Sarah." Mariel grinned at her. "I'm doing alright I guess, not that I'm thrilled about all the dirt. A bit ridiculous we can't use our gloves. I see you found yourself a partner..." Mariel shot a pointed glance in the direction of the Gryffindor girl Sarah had met.
