bench outside of Mr. Cantwell's Hut

[DuckyLinJi]

A stone bench had been set up outside the hut of Mr.Cantwell. Anyone who wishes to speak to him must knock on the door first and take a seat. It might take a few moments for the Groundskeeper to let you in so please be patient. It is possible he’s away and somewhere on the Grounds.

OOC: please post here first, the Groundskeeper will give you permission to come in the hut.

A stone bench. This was looking TERRIBLE already.

It didn't discourage her, and quite frankly, she didn't remember if the former groundskeeper had a stone bench as well. Little details that didn't truly matter... until now.

Okay, so, she was still doing this, and she kept going towards the door and knocked... and now she'll wait... sitting on the stone bench. Honestly, was this thing in here before? She had no recollection. But she wasn't going to comment on it for future reasons. *shifty* She should've told Lex about this, in case she never made it back.

Nick had not been in his hut for he hadn't expected anyone would come see him on the very first day. Students were probably exploring the grounds first or the castle for whatever reason. The Groundskeeper had not been in his hut but instead came walking back from a visit to the Duck Pond, filling the container with some bread for the students to feed to the creatures.

He was therefore a little bit surprised to see a student, sitting on the stone bench that he had placed outside his home during school years. "Can i help you?" he asked the moment he arrived at the hut.

You know, she was still thinking about this bench when this person showed up. Still thinking about it. Because she was certain this bench was a hazard. It was all STONE, and she wasn't liking stones at the moment.

But then the person spoke up and Lottie looked up and smiled, all sweetly may be add, "You must be the Groundskeeper," he had the look. They all had that in common. ALL, except the one from her first term, he'd seemed... rather fragile, actually. Didn't he also got eaten or something? Lottie stood up rather quickly, though. "I'm...," she thought about giving a false name, but... whatever, she promised Vinteren, "...Lotus Wisteria, Sir." How can the groundskeeper be of your assistance, Lottie? "I was close to the former groundskeeper, you see," now would be a good time to erase that smile and appear saddened by the pygmy puff stealer Firth's fate, so... cue sad expression, "So I thought I could stop by to welcome you and wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors," THIS was actually true, shocking. Nod, nod.

Also, if you had tea, we'd really appreciate a cup.

"That i am" Nick answered, a hint of a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the girl who stood up from the stone bench rather quickly. Noticing the sudden silence, Nick raised an eyebrow at the girl, wondering what she was thinking. She...had not forgotten her name right? "It's nice to meet you Miss Wisteria" he said as he gave her a nod with his head.

Okay, so that was a look of sadness and it made the man frown now. Hopefully she wasn't going to cry or anything. Not that he couldn't deal with crying kids, it was just uncomfortable. But then he got why she had the expression and the Groundskeeper let out a small sigh. She had been close with the previous Groundskeeper, of course. "Yes, really horrible what happened to Mr.Firth" He had not known the man personally but he had read the Daily Prophet about the incident. Merlin, even his own name had been mentioned in the paper.

And this was the second person, funnily enough both of them Hufflepuff's who had said good luck to him. Was that because of the "Groundskeepers at Hogwarts are cursed" thing that was featured in the article or just being nice? "Thank you Miss Wisteria, i will do my best" Did he believe in the so-called curse? no..no he did not.

He turned around to walk up to his front door and took out his wand, he waved it so that the spells that locked his hut unlocked itself and he turned back around. "I was just about to make some tea, do you want some as well?" he asked.

ooc: you can post in the hut now

Tiberius Huffed the one bag of over 40 rolls of Toilet Paper down to to Stick's Hut he stopped briefly before coming into full view just in case Sticks was in there. If anyone asked the Groundskeeper was having an Off day, and Good old buddies Dursley, and Flamsteed were there to save him from his grief.

He peered behind his shoulder to see his best mate just behind him. "I've got one more Idea, but let's get off to the side of Stick's Hut before we start." Tiberius has a brilliant smirk on his face, and couldn't wait to decorate the Hut.

Airey was wearing the perfect suit for their shifty evening excursion. Considering that the sun would soon be down, he had worn one of his darker suits and had even put a bit of camouflage facepaint on using his wand as they had made their way down from the boys' bathroom to the hut.

"You stand out like a star in the night sky," he hissed to Tiberius. "Do something with your face."

The astronomer would have army crawled under the window to the side of the hut, but that would have ruined his suit. So instead he squatted down and sort of hopped like a frog under the window as he made his way to one side of the hut. Captain was following, right?

"What do you have in mind?"

Having an off day felt good. The ducks at the pond had food, he checked the forbidden forest if any students had entered it and had done his other daily jobs on the Grounds of Hogwarts. Right now, he was sitting on the comfortable lounge chair near the window. Since it was getting colder, he had put on the fireplace and had a cup of strawberry tea in his hand.

Taking a sip, he leaned back in the chair and tried to relax. Unaware of the commotion out side of his hut, the ex-Gryffindor stood up from his lounge chair to walk to his exercise room. Maybe he could do some push ups before dinner started? He had just entered the room when he heard a noise outside.

Standing still, Nick listened carefully, his eyes slightly narrowed. Well, it was before dinner time so students were allowed out of the castle and on the grounds. So with this thought, he shrugged his shoulders and entered the exercise room.
