As the wind blows the sound of wind chimes can be heard coming from the nearby hut. As you get closer you see that it is surrounded by flowers of every kind. The smell of vanilla and lavender fill the air and it becomes difficult to not take in the sweet smells.

Along side of the brick hut can be seen a small garden that seems to be bursting with every kind of vegetable imaginable. Reaching the window alongside the entrance one can see a fully furnished living quarters. Light colors and floral patterns engulf the walls and tapestries.

The quaint yet inviting hut is occupied by Hogwarts newest Groundskeeper. A lovely young woman with jet black hair now calls this hut home. She is quite eager to meet all of the students who call Hogwarts home and perhaps enlighten them on the benefits of Yoga.

Stepping forward you see the following plaque hanging from the door:

Beneath the plaque is a piece of parchment that has been nailed to the door:

Quote:

Dear Students,

If for some reason I do not come to the door after three knocks; do not be alarmed. I am most likely not here for I am probably off tending to the grounds. Feel free to leave me a note or come back at a later date.

Thank you and have a pleasant day!

Maddison Calixta Daaé

Hearing Sana’s request for a note Maddison let out a small giggle, “Well if you’d like. As soon as we finish here I’ll write you up a note.”

Once they finished to plant the Sapplings Sana was looked very satisfied. This Sappling may be taken some years to grow as a tree to give some benefit to people but the satisfaction was the immediate result.

Sana gathered up the gardening tools and moving towards the Hut with Deeps followed by Miss Daa. She wanted a note from her.

When they reached the hut Sana said, "I'm very glad about this project Miss Daa. Thanks for the Co-operation and help. And I wanted to plant some more. Can I comeback here to do the same after sometime?" She waited for Miss Daa's hand note to see Prof. Erikson.

Making their way back to the hut, Maddison had completely forgotten about the odd noises she had been hearing. Which was probably a good thing seeing how she didn’t feel like supervising the rebirth of her dead plants.

“Yes Sana you may return when you like.” Once they reached the hut she placed the gardening tools down and proceeded to the front. Pulling out her wand she conjured up a note for Sana. “Feel free to bring a friend as well. Planting is always much more enjoyable when you do it with people whose company you enjoy.”

“Here is that note you wanted for Professor Erickson. Although I don’t think it’s entirely necessary. He’d help you regardless if you had a note or not.” She let out a small giggle as she removed her gloves and dusted off her robe.

“Was there anything else I could help you ladies in?” she asked looking from one to the other.

Tag twisted around in Kemma's hold but it only served to tighten her grip. And she had sharp little fingernails to boot. In Tag's opinion, it wasn't boys who hurt girls. It was the other way around.

Tag finally gave up and sat back on his knees to ease the pressure from behind. He paused, panting, to catch his breath. There was dirt smeared on his cheek, mixing with the trickles of sweat coming down his brow, and a fine layer of soil collected all over his robes. He looked up at Jamie, who didn't appear much better off. The other boy's legs were paddling the air furiously, flinging sprays of dirt everywhere. Tag wished Juno would let him go and let him take a real swing. He would rather take an aimed punch to the nose than hear Jamie call him a dirty-rotten-backstabbing-friendthief. And mean it.

For the second time that week Tag was seized with doubt. Maybe Jamie is right. Maybe she's better off with him and not me. Maybe I should tell him I'm sorry and that I'll go tell her I don't like her anymore.

He tightened his grip on the still wiggling, kicking, squirming Jamie. "And you!" he jiggled Jamie around. "I mean it! I'll let Kemma jinx you with the body bind! She could use the practice!"

"Wanted to be stolen my bloody bum!" Jamie retorted, ignoring Juno, though ceasing his drastic leg swings. His eyes still glared at Tag though, feeling no remorse from what he was putting the boy through. He should have known better, in Jamie's opinion, than to steal his friend.

"She was my friend and then you came in and... and you seduced her to your side! I bet you convinced her I had no time for her, huh? You were always around her when I couldn't be. You took advantage of her! And as a result, stole my best friend. Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot for being such a jerk!"

There was little that needed to be said after Jamie spat out his harsh words and instead, he looked at the ground, fuming. At least he'd patched things up with Bucky, but he couldn't be certain that it meant he and Tag would patch up.

Em's the Game · 05-10-2007, 01:08 AM

"Oh for Merlin's sake, Jamie, get a grip!" Kemma twisted Tag's ear further and pulled him over to Juno and the suddenly listless Jamie. If only I had a stump to stand on... "Alright, now listen here and listen good!"

Kemma glared through her tiny, rectangular glasses. "You two are gonna make up and you're not going to fight about this again. Or else....or else...." Kemma grappled with finding a suitable 'or else.' She cast her eyes on the muddy mess of the garden. Ah ha! "Or else me and Juno will bind you up and plant you up to the neck in the garden! Next to each other! And...and....little bugs will come and crawl all over you...and you won't be able to eat or anything. And I bet then you won't think all this fighting was worth it!"

"Now shake hands like good little Ravenclaws." Kemma huffed. And she had thought the Slytherins had the most convoluted relationship problems!

Sana and deeps placed the Garden tools in the appropriate place and turned to Miss Daa, " Thank you so much for the note Miss Daa. You made us to come here again and agiain" Sana said as she smiled and held out a hand to her.

"Sure, I'll be back with my friend very soon. And he's also looking forward to do that. And thanks for spending time with us Madam" she said and walking towards the door of the Hut.

Tag crouched on the ground, stung by Jamie's words. In actuality, he and Bucky had never discussed Jamie at all. He hadn't wanted to. Initially of course they'd bantered about him as their mutual friend, wondering what he was up to, retelling stories of the three of them romping around Hogwarts together or on that resort trip from several years ago. But as time passed, Jamie had become an awkward topic. And Tag had purposefully avoided it. He was awkward enough without bringing up the person she was closer to and the conflict he represented.

This whole thing was dawning on Tag as much bigger than he'd anticipated. Juno had assumed he was spying on Ravenclaw for the tournament and feeding the information to Bucky so she'd win; Jamie was accusing Tag of sabotaging their friendship and lying to Bucky about him; either way, he was a backstabber. Lies, betrayal and espionage.

When did I become so evil?

In silence, Tag made no protest when Kemma wrenched his ear towards his ex-friend. He didn't look Jamie in the eye, although he could tell he'd stopped kicking and flinging dirt. Tag was utterly depleted and he didn't know what else to say. He opened his mouth a little. "I'm sorry," he croaked. Tag pawed at Kemma's hand, gently this time. Let me go.

With that, Jamie felt exhausted suddenly, as if it just knocked into him. Anger deflated, leaving him feeling empty and hollow and he limply sank back, as if in defeat.

This was stupid. He knew that. But he hated how he looked at Tag and it made his stomach churn. Or how the idea of Tag and Bucky alone together made him feel sick. He hated the fear that Tag would hurt Bucky. It didn't mean it'd be purposeful. Unfortunately, Jamie's life goal was keeping Bucky happy.

Suddenly, he wanted to be anywhere from here. He didn't want to hate Tag and be angry at him, but he also didn't want to have to see him. He didn't want to combat the feelings that were burning in his chest, the hurt of Tag's betrayal. He didn't want to try to come to terms with anything.

He wanted things to be normal. When Tag and Bucky were both his best friends and he didn't have to worry about losing anyone or anything.

"It's alright," Jamie mumbled, trying to shrink into Juno.

Seeker_Seven · 05-12-2007, 07:16 PM

Liar. Tag finally looked up. He knew Jamie was just saying that, that it wasn't okay, that it never would be. He hates me now. Can't we still be all friends, all of us? Can't I like Bucky and everything is okay and things are how they always are? The answer was no, Tag knew. Things would be different and had already become different whether he wanted them to or not.

Ickle Taggy's growing up!, his sister Fae's voice rang in his head. It struck him what she meant by that. Maybe I don't want to grow up then. Maybe I want things to stay the same, always. Bucky's face flickered before his eyes just then. His feelings for her had certainly changed, and he'd liked that. He'd never felt such good feelings for anyone before. Do I want to give that up?

No.

Never. Tag struggled to his feet, his knees caked with dirt. "I have to go," the words spilled out of his mouth. "I have--Quidditch practice."

Juno stumbled back a little but kept his arms around Jamie. Things had gone from all hell breaking loose to - well Juno didn't know what this moment was classified as. He loosened his grip on Jamie thinking At least I didn't have to threaten them with forcing them to kiss and make up - or to hold hands for an hour like mum always threatens to do with me and Adi. He glanced around Jamie's curls - a feat that was very very hard to do since they were everywhere, and caught a glimpse of Kemma, and Tag. Tag looked like he was going to get sick. He was suddenly grateful he couldn't really see Jamie's face.

"Tag," Juno started to say something hand patting Jamie's back a little, but he stopped suddenly unsure what to do about anything. This - this is why having friends is a bad things. Things like this happen...someone eventually starts hating the others. It's inevitable. He tried giving Kemma a 'go along with Tag to the pitch' look but he wasn't really sure if she got it or not.

Em's the Game · 05-12-2007, 10:37 PM

Seeing as the boys had grudgingly made up - very grudgingly by the looks of things, Kemma released Tag's ear. "Well, then." She smacked her hands together as if trying to brush dust from them. Juno was giving her the oddest look. What? she mouthed, confused. Why couldn't people just say what they meant? Why the looks? She never understood the looks. Maybe he wanted her to make sure they'd finished making up?

"So....uh....Well, when me and Tony fight and make up, we spit on our palms and shake on it. So...well...now, go on - spit and make up for good and then we'll all know you mean it!" Kemma urged the two boys. "And then, um, after quidditch practice maybe we can sneaks some ice cream from the kitchens?"

Seeker_Seven · 05-16-2007, 04:20 AM

Kemma was painfully unaware of the ways of men, but Tag didn't have time to sit down and explain things to her. And he was certainly not going to exchange spit with Jamie. Still. . . she was standing there expectantly, and Juno was just looking at both of them in silence. The tension was palpable. I just want to get out of here.

After what seemed like an eternity, Tag slowly extended his hand. He raised his eyes to meet Jamie's, which were no longer burning in anger, but seemed to have transformed into a kind of disturbed stillness. Their fingers touched for a half-second. As if he'd been burned, Tag jerked his hand away and shoved it in his pocket, looking away.

"I'll see you all later," he mumbled. "Juno I'll. . .I'll help you later." His eyes flickered briefly to the spiky-haired boy. Then he collected his trodden-on messenger bag from the soil and slung it over his shoulder, sending a cascade of granules down the back of his untucked shirt. Tag walked away in a stiff, controlled gait. As soon as he was clear of all line of vision, his form broke into a dead run towards the castle.

Em's the Game · 05-16-2007, 04:38 AM

Kemma watched Tag walk away. It hadn't quite worked out the way she'd hoped. Still...they were boys. They'd figure it out. Probably spit on each other or something. Having never had a fight of this magnitude, Kemma had no idea what she was dealing with.

Dusting off her hands, Kemma noticed Jamie's feet still swinging above the ground. "Um, Juno? Maybe you could let Jamie down now? We really ought to finish this for Miss Day-O before she comes out and....well...." Just comes out. For some reason Kemma was worried about getting caught not working.

Hawken Terrell · 05-16-2007, 03:15 PM

“Yeah,” He put Jamie down so his feet were touching the ground. “Perhaps that’s a good idea.” He patted Jamie on the back, watching Tag storm off and wondered if he or Kemma should go after him to make sure he’s ok. Naw, he’s probably off to find Badger girl and get some consoling or something. He scratched a rather dirty spot on his cheek. It seemed it was impossible for him to stay clean lately and the house elves were probably starting to hate watching his clothes.

“Right – work.” He walked around Jamie towards Kemma. “Common.” He took a step forward but then noticed Kemma was still looking at Jamie. He turned around to look at the curly boy. “You can help if you want – or you can go. Kemma and I can handle this.”

Not waiting for a response, Juno patted Kemma on the shoulder and got her to follow him back over to the plot with the purple flowers.
