Sitting directly in the back of the castle on the first floor is the large conservatory. As you enter the room you are greeted with the warmth that the room keeps all year round. Looking up you will see the room's ceiling is all glass to allow the sunlight to come directly in. A brick floor leads you to the different sections of the conservatory. The first section consists of mundane plants and herbs. This is where you can research and work with more of the no-maj plants and learn the different herbs you can use for ingredients in potions as well as cooking. A section is designed for students to be able to plant flowers or help with the school's garden. The pukwudgies use many of the vegetables and fruits that are grown in this section for their ingredients in the kitchen. As you continue to move through the conservatory you will find the tamer magical plants and then a seating area for lessons. As you walk in the beauty of the plants of Ilvermorny, you would never know that you are walking in a circle and headed back towards the front of the room. The last section is roped off and charmed to keep all the dangerous plants out and you in, unless you have permission. Caution is needed for these plants and you aren't supposed to cross the rope. Nicely keep following the brick around the area to the front of the room once more to exit the conservatory.

Now the conservatory was one of Irene's favorite places to visit. It was quiet and there were plenty of greenery surrounding her- both magical and no Maj. Seeing that the conservatory was practically empty, Irene tok out her ukulele and began strumming random chords. It still felt strange to be back at Illvermorny after a whirlwind of a year over in Scotland at the wonderful Hogwarts. She missed that castle and the friends that she had made. It was as if she was living a wonderful dream and then all of a sudden someone had poured cold, cold water over her head and she had been brought back to harsh reality.
"Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look into the wa-ah-ater. And I think of all those things, what you're doing and in my head I paint a picture...." sang Irene as she sat next to some No-maj plants, losing herself as she played one of Amy Winehouse's notorious tunes.

So much for the notion of working in peace and quiet.
Valerie, for one, was grateful to be back on American soil. Although for the Canadian born it hardly seemed as though they had ever left despite the year abroad. The bitter taste of not taking full advantage of the opportunity presented to them while in Scotland lingered in her mouth, but it was hard to lament missed opportunities when she had made the conscious decision to devote all her time and energy to the competition. Which had not provided the desired results, although she was genuinely happy for Kyle - one of the few (read two) fellow competitors she could stomach a loss to.
She did not even need to see Irene to know it was here. There were very few who insisted upon playing the ukulele at the more inopportune times at Ilvermorny. While the usual path would have brought her along behind the other girl, Valerie opted to go the long was around to prolong any obligatory social interaction. She had a Sopophorous plant to tend to with her humble bucket of mooncalf dung.

Eleven year old Hunter Dawson gaped at the vastness, the beauty and the great glass ceiling the moment he stepped into the Conservatory. With the Dawson family being enormous, there had been many a tale little Hunter had heard about Ilvermorny. Tales about adventures from his mommy and daddy, aunties, uncles and numerous cousins - the most famous being about the IMPS Competition. But not even his wild imagination had done justice to picture what his experience would be like in this majestic School.
Once he was done {somewhat} gaping at the immediate surroundings, Hunter tried to focus on determining his next course of action. Then it hit him: obviously he would explore everything! The brick floor reminded him of the yellow brick road from the Wizard of Oz movies - the original still remained his favourite. Hunter’s feet decidedly began taking him along on the journey.

There had been so so much that young Zion had heard about Ilvermorny from his family. Not only his parents and one older brother but his aunts, uncles and cousins too! The knowledge was great when it came to what he thought he could expect. And yet.. that wasn't at all the case. From the moment he had arrived, he was lost. The grounds outside were huge, the school itself was huge and everything inside of it surpassed everything he had envisioned inside his own head. There weren't really words to describe it all.
One thing he could describe was how he was feeling in this very moment. Overwhelmed and more than a little lost. Zi had no clue where he was meant to go next, what he was meant to do but he kinda wanted to see and do everything! How could he not, in a place like this?!
Having already lost sight of his brother Zach ages ago, it looked like he was officially on his own. So it was with very unsure steps that he let himself walk around, trying to familiarize himself with things. How he ended up where he did, he had no idea. Not that it mattered much when his blue eyes that always seemed to stand out against his slightly darker skin and very dark hair, fell upon a face he knew well. His cousin that was also a first year this term. "Hunter.." he called out to let the other boy know of his presence without shouting or running towards him.

Hunter’s feet came to a halt immediately after he stumbled upon his first sub-adventure {exploring the Conservatory being the main one}. Plants! Plants, plants, plants! There were an abundance of them! Hunter was in awe. He liked plants even though his papa did not; his mama seemed to like them well enough. Now came another dilemma: to check out all the greenery or to continue the exploration of the Conservatory?
Um…
Hunter hadn’t weighed all of the pros of the two options long enough before he heard his name being called. The little guy turned to see his cousin - one of his many - and immediately his face broke into a smile. Hunter waved to Zion then beckoned him over. Maybe Z would help him make up his mind.

It hadn't immediately occurred to Zion where he had come across his cousin. The conservatory being a place his older brother hadn't mentioned to him (then again Zach hadn't told him much of anything about Ilvermorny) but their parents had. He didn't know everything about plants but he knew quite a bit from all the time he spent outdoors with his other siblings and parents. Being an outdoorsy family, meant he was taught a decent amount about things like plants and how to keep himself safe around them.
Effectively having managed to capture Hunter's attention, Zi grinned a bit. Being with someone he knew and trusted always made him feel more comfortable, especially now when he was away from home and from his one sister Samantha whom he was closest with. Without giving it much thought, he wandered over towards his cousin when he was beckoned to do so. "Whatcha doing?" Was Hunt looking at all the plants or.. simply passing through this area onto somewhere else???

The boys were not the only ones who were still getting used to the school. From the moment she arrived at Ilvermorny and had been sorted into Pukwudgie, Willow Twelvetrees made it a goal to explore every inch of the castle before the school year ended. Given the size of the castle, it was quite a task; however, she was quite confident in her skills. Mind you, at the turtle-speed pace she was going, it might take her much, much longer!
In fact, she had been sidetracked by all the flora present in the conservatory. Each one got a moment of appreciation from her: deep breaths in to take in their unique scent, a little caress with her stringy fingers, some were even serenaded with a little dreamy humming. But the sound of other voices did result in her abandoning her latest plant friend.
"Are you here to see the Flutterby bushes?" the first year's soft voice sounded out of the blue. She then revealed herself, pushing her way between two rather tall plants. A strand of her knotty dirty blonde hair stuck onto one of the large leaves. "They're quite beautiful. And they smell good too."
Oh. Pay no attention to her feet. Today was a no-socks-and-shoes day. Being able to wiggle her toes freely was quite a satisfying feeling.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Hunter was quite happy to have Z with him. He didn’t see Z as being adopted, but rather saw him as a full fledged member of the huge family they shared. And they even got along so well which was a bonus. The other bonus? They were the same age. “Trying to decide if I should explore the plants.” He gestured at the abundance of greenery he had stumbled across. “Or if I should continue following the brick road until I explore everywhere.” Hunter paused, smiling slightly. “I’m going to be Dorothy. You can be Toto.” Z would know what he meant, since Hunter was always keen on sharing his passion with his family.
There was another sound - a voice - which made the usually timid Hunter jump violently despite the softly spoken words. He spun around to confront the girl. “You shouldn’t sneak up on anyone like that.” He gave her a hard stare as he tried to cover up the fact that he was trying desperately to show his pounding heart. Hunter didn’t even notice her feet at the moment.

Zion was calmer when Hunter was around. Having someone else that was his age, family and that understood him made things easier for the young boy. He didn't feel so alone and the ache of being away from his sister wasn't as strong. "You can do both, study all the plants while exploring." True it might take even longer this way buuuuuut it was a win, win situation if they did it this way. Together.
Now some kids might get upset over being told to be a 'dog'. Not Zion. He knew exactly whom Toto was and it was a very easy part for him to play. All he really had to do.. was pretend to be a small dog. Simple as that. "Okay, I can do that." He nodded his head several times as he spoke. This was going to be interesting.
Zion was very comfortable in what part he had been asked to play. What he wasn't comfortable with? Having someone speak to them that he didn't know and he hadn't known had even been there! Exactly like his cousin, he jumped as well, bumping into Hunter surely and stumbling over his own feet. Luckily he hadn't toppled over and managed to remain upright, his heart racing in his chest as he stared at the not-so-new-comer. Trying to calm himself down, he never did well when being surprised like that, he only nodded in agreement with Hunter's words.

The sight of the two boys jumping at her seemingly unannounced appearance caused Willow to be of two minds. She did feel a little guilty for startling them, but, at the same time, she thought the boys should have been more vigilant. This was a conservatory in a magical school after all. People were bound to be wandering about the place.
"Sorry," the dirty blonde-haired girl did reply apologetically. "I didn't mean to frighten you." She really hadn't. Willow, the gentle little being that she was, wouldn't purposefully do such a thing. She wouldn't even go as far as to hurt a lacewing fly.
She paused for a moment, waiting to hear if either of the boys had an answer to her question about the Flutterby bushes. If they hadn't seen them, she knew exactly where they were. Though something about the way they were looking at her made her assume that they weren't going to give her an answer about that. In the awkward silence, she just rocked back on her heels and forth on her toes, her pale blue eyes shifting from one boy to the other.
"I'm Willow by the way. Willow Twelvetrees," she told them, breaking the silence with a smile.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
“That’s another option.” One that Hunter liked a lot better than the two he had come up with. This was another reason why he liked having Z around; Z usually came up with better ideas than he did. Another reason was that his cousin just got him. Like, really understood him, and not just the countless Wizard of Oz references. “You’re literally the best cousin ever!’’ Hunter was perceptive, and had already come to recognise how much Zion put up with him.
When Zion stumbled, Hunter automatically and protectively held a hand to his shoulder to steady him. Hunter studied the girl silently for a moment. She did seem genuinely sorry. He also was sure he recognised her from when they were getting Sorted. Maybe seeing her around Ilvermorny during their {currently} short occupation of the School. “Hunter Dawson. And this is my cousin, Zion.” He thought Willow had a funny surname but said nothing about this. The fact that her name was all plant related was not lost on him. “Why are you barefoot, Willow?”
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
"One that could work too, right?" Zi asked quietly, rocking slightly on his heels as he looked over at his cousin. The fact that he had someone else he could be close to was really helpful now that he was here at school. It really helped him get through the hours, yes, hours. Each one taken as it came. "Thanks, Hunt, that really means a lot." A lot, a lot.
The hand on his shoulder not only steadied him but had him instinctively taking a step closer to Hunter. Blue eyes looked over the girl that he thought he may have seen at least once before. He was able to take in her tangled her hair and bare feet without saying a word, thanks for that Hunter. A nod of his head in greeting was given however, he wasn't rude.

Despite the silence that filled the space, Willow thought nothing of how awkward the situation may or may not have been. She just carried on with rocking back and forth, though she had to admit that it was slightly uncomfortable doing so on brick. But it was nothing that she couldn't handle. If anything, it would make her a stronger person and toughen up her soles.
When one of the boys responded, the smile grew and her little toes wiggled with delight. It always was nice making new friends, whether they were human, a beast, or even a plant. She was always pleased when they talked back to her, responding in their own unique way.
"Pleased to meet you both," she replied dreamily. Her pale eyes momentarily examined Hunter, who seemed to be the talker out of the two, and then over to Zion. Some friendly toe wiggling was directed at him.
Speaking of her being barefoot, Hunter's question made her giggle. "It's no-socks-and-shoes day. It's a special thing that happens at least once a week," Willow informed them as if it were a common fact. In reality, she just didn't feel like wearing anything on her feet. "It's quite freeing really, feeling the world around you beneath your bare feet. You two should give it a try sometime."
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
“Right,’’ Hunter agreed. Zion rocking on his heels concerned Hunter. Was the cousin nervous about something? Was anxiety the issue? “You’re welcome. But it’s all true, you know.” Hunter wasn’t just saying that Zion was the best because he was trying to be nice. Hunter found himself glancing from Zion to Willow and back. Did either of them register the fact that they were rocking?
The girl didn’t seem put off by the cousins’ respective demeanor which was something. Though, if you asked Hunter, Willow could hardly be the last person to judge given the fact that she was barefoot. And wiggling toes at them in greeting as opposed to wiggling her fingers. The girl was strange but she seemed okay. “Nice to meet you as well, Willow.”
He shot Zion a quizzical gaze. “Not at Ilvermorny,’’ Hunter remarked, quite sure of his words. There was no way he missed that weird memo. Back to Willow. “Um, thanks? I’ll pass. So. What variety of plants does this School have, anyway? Z and I would like to check them out. Care to show us since you seem to be familiar with them already.”
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
While Zion came from a large family, he wasn't currently in his most outgoing of moods. His deep attachment to his one younger sister Samantha was being severed with him being here now and her being back at home. It wasn't something he was used to. Nor did he like it at all. Yes, he had his brother and his cousin Hunter here with him but it wasn't entirely the same. He was however, doing the best that he could.
He was going to ignore that she was wiggling her toes at him and nod his head at her greeting instead. That made much more sense him. As for it being a 'No shoes and socks day'.. well.. he shrugged his shoulders at Hunter. Not a clue, cousin. Not. A. Clue. Was that safe to be doing around here? Who knew all the things that could be stepped on..
Huh?! Zi blinked at Hunter when he invited Willow to show them around. Having an escort that seemed to know all the plants a little better than they did wasn't the worst idea ever.. buuuuut.. was he sure he wanted it to be her?!

Was Willow even capable of judging people? That was still up for debate. All her life, she always thought the best of people, regardless of how some of them treated her because of her quirkiness. As for the boys standing in front of her, she had decided moments ago that they were friends. Hunter was talking to her, and Zion was, at least in her mind, rocking back and forth with her. See? They were already besties!
If only they would take off their shoes and socks and join her in the exhilarating feeling that she was enjoying. She, of course, wasn't going to force them into joining her in that regard; there would be plenty of opportunities for that in the future. "Suit yourself," she replied, the tone in her voice cool as a cucumber. "But don't knock it 'til you try it."
Talk about no-socks-and-shoes day was soon forgotten, and her blue eyes widened with delight when Hunter asked about the plants that were in the conservatory. A large smile grew on her face when he asked to show them around.
"Oh, yes! I'd be happy to show you around! There's lots of plants to see here," Willow told the boys enthusiastically. Without any warning, her bare feet pattered on the floor and she pushed herself through the same two plants from earlier. Her head poked through again just to make sure that Hunter and Zion were keeping up. "Come on, slowpokes! Our tour will begin with the Flutterby bushes."
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
It was easy to see that Z too was baffled by the socks and shoes thing. It was also easy to deduce that the cousin had no intention of removing either from his feet. At least Hunter would not be alone in this. More than being uncomfortable with it, he was also keeping his hooves shoed because there was no way that he was going to leave being the odd one out.
Hunter didn’t see the harm with having Willow show them around. In any case, Hunter was much more interested in observing the plants. He gave his cousin a reassuring smile. “I’m not knocking it. Not fully at least?” That counted as something… it had to, right? Never mind though; it seemed Willow was completely distracted about being asked to be he and Z’s tour guide. Wait… where did she go? One second she was here then the next she was gone.
“Come on, Z. Let’s go exploring!” Zion need not worry, Hunter would be by his side at all times. “We’re not slowpokes,’’ he replied somewhat grumpily, having heard Willow and saw her head. Flutterby Bushes! Hunter loved those! Excuse him as he was practically jogging over to Willow, Z!
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Zion had been perfectly content in following his cousin around. that had been alright, he knew he would be in good safe hands that way. Now his being was being entrusted up some young girl with wild hair and bare feet whom he did not know. This was not how he saw his day going. And frankly he wasn't too sure he was ready for it.
Will not panic when Hunter jogs ahead of him towards Willow leaving him a few paces behind causing him to hurry himself along. As if he didn't have enough anxiety being here in this huge school with so many new things and tons of people he didn't know. Not to worry, he was good.. everything was good. No panicking here. Just quick even steps until he was right behind Hunter.. never mind he had no real idea where it was he was following them both to right now.

If the boys had said anything to each other, it had gone unheard by the barefooted girl. She was indeed quite preoccupied with being a tour guide, being quite familiar with the conservatory from what she had already explored in her short amount of time at the school. There were of course some areas she hadn't been to yet, but she had plenty to show Hunter and Zion.
Satisfied with the fact that they were following her, she started darting and weaving her way through groups of plants until she was standing in front of a group of blue flowers that were quivering and shaking. She took in a deep, deep breath.
It was then that she realized that the boys were just now catching up to her. She offered them a smile and made a grandiose gesture. "The Flutterby bushes. Take in a nice long breath. They smell delicious! And it is said that their scent adapts once a century!"
As their tour guide, she gave them a moment to take in the flower's beauty. "What d'you think?" She always was curious about people's take on all things nature. "There's also some honking daffodils and Mimbulus mimbletonia nearby if you want to look at those next."
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Hunter could have smacked himself right there and then in that moment when he registered that he had left Zion some paces behind. It was his eagerness to see all the plants that had gotten him so eager and excited. He came right up beside Willow and turned to ensure that Z was with him but this was not the case.
“Hang on a minute,’’ he told Willow distractedly. Hunter was concerned about Zion because he knew all too well how the cousin could be plagued by anxiety. “You doing okay, Z?” A whisper was added, “I’m sorry for leaving you behind.’’ He patted Z’s shoulder. “Focusing on the plants and their smells will help.” Did Zion need to grip his hand in order to help keep himself calm? Because Hunter was always a willing party.
Willow’s suggestion about breathing in the Flutterby Bushes’ scent really came in handy. Quick thinking had him nodding. He inhaled slowly and deeply before exhaling just as slowly. “You try it, Z. Those Bushes smell heavenly.” Also, this was a cue to Z to do some breathing to keep himself grounded. “Not really big on Honking Daffodils.’’ This comment was directed at Willow. “They’re so loud and… honky.”
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Zion wasn't upset at all that Hunter had gone off ahead of him a little. Excitement did that to a person. He understood that. The level of appreciation he had for his cousin when he turned around and waited for him was a lot. "Yeah, I'm good." His voice was on the quieter side but he did nod his head at his cousins apology. "It's okay." He would focus on the plants like Hunter was telling him to and maybe just hold onto the hem of his shirt for a little bit, if that was okay? Unless Hunter preferred to hold hands cause Z could do that.
Taking deep breaths wasn't something he needed to be told twice about doing right now. Stepping up beside Hunter, Zion inhaled slowly and deeply the sweet scent of the flutterby bushes. Inhale. Exhale. And repeat. This was working, all he had to do was focus on the scent until he was calm and everything was okay. He was okay.
Zion turned his blue eyes onto Hunter and Willow only when he was sure he was completely calm. Now what was it they were talking about?

Willow count feel the eagerness of Hunter, which certainly gave off good vibes. If he liked plants just as much as she did, then they would surely be good friends soon enough. As for Zion, well, she was still trying to figure him out, which was likely due to the fact the boy hadn't said much around her. There, of course, was no judgment from her. She was positive that he would warm up to her soon enough.
While Hunter and Zion had their little side conversation, the Pukwudgie carried on with giving their butterfly-winged petals a gentle caress, smelling the Flutterby bushes, and even whispering compliments to the plant as if it could understand English. Her pale blue eyes then cast a glance at the boys, who seemed to be enjoying the scent as well. What a pleasant way to spend a day!
Those eyes of hers might have widened just a little when Hunter mentioned that he wasn't a big fan of honking daffodils. She, of course, thought they were rather lovely, especially when you could get them to collectively honk a little song. But she understood that not everyone was going to enjoy the same things she did, so she shrugged off the comment. "Then maybe the Mimbulus mimbletonia next? Or I think there's Bouncing Bulbs, Bubotubers, and Puffapods we can look at too. And I swear I saw Niffler's Fancy somewhere around here."
A big, bright smile was given to the boys and her toes wiggled as she resisted the urge to run off again. She would let them decide their next stop in the conservatory before leading the way.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
The guilt he had felt ebbed away for he believed Zion’s words about being okay. He then offered Willow a small smile for two reasons. One: for being patient with him and moreso, Zion; two: because of the fact that she was talking to the plants. It was something that he did with the ones at home.
Hunter shrugged at Willow, his eyes checking to ensure that Z was doing those breathing exercises. “Maybe the Honking Daffodils I’ve come across have not created the proper melody?’’ he reasoned and was then hopelessly distracted by a plant mentioned. Not the regular ones anyone could come across, mind you. “Niffler’s Fancy! That’s one I haven’t seen in a bit! We should look for it, Willow! I mean, it shouldn’t be hard to spot with those shiny leaves!’’ Yes, Hunter was incredibly excited now. Z would want to join in on this but Hunter would not be rushing him to complete the breathing exercise, even if he wanted the cousin to have fun with this as well.
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Plants. Yes. They were still talking about plants. Right. He was paying attention now. Sorta. That deep breathing that Hunter had him doing had seemed to do the trick for the most part, even if his fingers were still mostly tangled up in the hem of his cousins shirt. This simply being because he didn't want to lose the other boy on their further ventures of plant searching. Mhmm. Yeah, that's the reasoning he was going to go with.
"Niffler's Fancy.. is that the one you want to go look for, Hunt?" If it was then that's what they would look for. He was ready to help with the 'expedition' now. He likely wouldn't be straying to far from his cousins side start away, if at all but he was going to follow along and even help them look.
