Chris Potter walked down the little lighted path to the wonderful area that Bunbury had set up for the little part/lesson thingy she had planned. He walked up to her and smiled. "Good evening Professor Bunbury, you did a great job decorating. It looks very nice around here." he said nodded apreciatively.

Varius had never been to a garden party before. Probably due to the lack of garden his apartment had at home and because such things always seemed too formal for a twelve year old. However, this was a party held in a school - it was made for students, yes?

He made his way down the pretty path, admiring the pink candles. When he reached the end of the path where the pond was situated, he noticed the Herbology Professor. Smiling, he greeted her having decided to forgive her for the gillyweed maze stunt. "Hello Professor Bunbury, pretty plants."

Torin walked down the lighted path and was amazed by how pretty everything looked. When he reached the pond he said, "hello, Professor Bunbury. You did a great job of decorating everything." He looked around him and spotted the same boy who had been with him in the greenhouses that time.

Reese brushed her fingers through her long, blonde hair as she headed down to the student garden. Stupid chutes! Going down the giant slides messed up her perfect hair. Grrrr. She continued trying to brush her hair with her fingers as the path to the garden started to lighten up. Whoo! She must be getting closer. Giving up on fixing her hair, she quickened her pace to the gardens.

She finally made it to the gardens and she made her way around some hedges and that's when she noticed the swirly path lightened up with pink candles. Rolling her eyes at the pinkness, she headed down the pathways. As she walked, she went back to fixing her hair. STUPID CHUTES! That's all she could say right now. She wished she had gotten down the chutes that fast. She stopped walking down the pathways and just stood there brushing her hair with her fingers until it felt like her hair was more reasonable than it was a minute ago.

Patting her head with her hands, she smiled to herself. Yes. That was much better. It felt like her hair wasn't messed up anymore. If she had a little mirror, she would have checked to make sure her hair was truly fixed, but she didn't have a mirror.

Sigh.

Finally, Reese continued down the pathways once more. She finally came up to the pond that was covered by some kind of lilies. Victoria amazonica lilies? That's what they looked like. Her face bightened up when her eyes landed on the long, white food table.

FOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!

She wanted to run over there and start stuffing her face with food, but she fought the urge to do that. Slowly walking over to the white table with chairs, she kept eying the food table. FoodFoodFoodFoodFoooood. Midnight eating was always a good thing. She sat down at one of the white tables that no one was sitting at. Taking her eyes off the food table, she looked over at Bunbury who was sitting on a pink bench. "Good...night Professor," she said. Okay. That sounded like she was going to go to bed. "Uh, hello, Professor," she corrected herself. That sounded better.

Spotting Torin, she waved her hand at him. "Yooo hooo. Torin!" She called out. "Come sit with me." She pointed towards the seat next to her. Even though she sat at an empty table, didn't mean she wanted to sit by herself forever. Psssh. It would be nonsense to sit at an empty table during a garden party!

Aaah, there was Reese calling him. He headed over to her. "Hello, gorgeous," he said to her with a wink as he took a seat beside her. "How amazing is this? Being out here so late." It was such a beautiful night.

How in the world did he end up here?

Putting his finger up his nostril to pick his nose, Willie wondered of how he ended up here in this garden. It was dark for one thing. Did someone turn off the sun? Could the sun be actually turned off? Questions such as this echoed through the head of this child. Yes, echoed.

Taking out his finger, he managed to get out a big booger. Statisfied, Willie examined it for a few moments before he flicked it, wickedly grinning as it landed one of Bunbury's plants. Turning his head, his curls following him, he stared at the people around him.

"Oiii, anyone be knowin' what'th goin on?"

William was afraid of the dark. There just wasn't any stopping it really; the creepiness of the shadows dancing over the trees and the weird noises casted from the unknown. But he was curious as to where everyone was headed and so here he was waking along the pathway, his back still sore from that long winded slide chute thingy that was their means of getting out of the castle. Seriously, couldn't Mastersen cushion the slide so it would be much easier on them all.

Like seriously.

Ow.

Stumbling over a rock, root whatever he sighed before continuing to walk along the path, sighing in relief as he saw the pink candles. smiling slightly he wale a little further towards wherever he was going and soon spotted the pond where he had hopped across, than swam across in class. Professor Bunbury was waiting for them all and he grinned, his eyes bright.

"Evening Professor!" he said happily as he walked up to where others were and crossed his arms taking a deep breath. He looked at the tables full of food his stomach automatically emptying and soon he was starving. Mouth watering he turned back to Bunbury and tilted his head.

"Not a clue," he responded as if his body was an answering machine.

Cordova scanned the environment over and over again trying to comprehend how Professor Bunbury made the area so magnificent. Without glancing away from the floating objects, he strolled down outlined path as if his body was on a rope that automatically pulled him closer and closer towards the front of the space.

While wandering aimlessly, Sabrina stumbled upon this little gathering. Or, as many would call it, a garden party. Garden paarteh! They were Sabrina's favourite kind. Due to their own beautifully kept and rather large garden at home, Sabrina recently was able to attend many of these during her holidays. The pinkness of it, with the pink candles and the pink dress professor Bunbury was in did not really appeal to Sabrina. She preferred blue, and not just because she was a Ravenclaw. She loved green too, and she was no Slytherin.

When her eyes fell on this boy picking in nose, Sabrina's head came out of her memories and back into reality.

EW! Hufflepuffs were not only irritating, but gross too. Yuck.

Sabrina, in all her five and a half years at Hogwarts, was yet to meet a nice Hufflepuff.

Ignoring the disgusting boy, she'll have to make sure to stay away from him and eat nothing he touched, Sabrina walked towards the Professor, a little excited. "Professor, is this a ... party?" A PARTEH!

Reese went back to staring at the food table. She would probably be the first person at the table once Bunbury gave them permission to eat. She took her eyes off the table when Torin started walking towards her. Gorgeous? GORGEOUS?! Dude, that meant her hair was perfect again! She would be ugly if her hair was messed up. Smiling towards Torin, said said, "Thanks."

"It's...pretty amazing," she told him. She leaned back in her chair and glanced up at the sky towards the stars and the moon.

He rolled his eyes at the way she was eyeing the food. He had a feeling that he would have to make sure she didn't eat everything. "No need to thank me. And it really is." He looked up at the stars. "What you getting me for my Birthday, Reese?"

Then he heard a girl he never met before ask Bunbury if this was a party. "I'd say it is," he called out her her with a laugh.

Ugh. Another Hufflepuff.

What was it with Hufflepuffs? It was like they switched personalities with the Slytherins. Yes, even Slytheirns weren't as bad as Hufflepuffs. And she was not just saying it because these Huffies were invading the Ravenclaw common room. They were a mean bunch. She'd be glad when they fix this leaking problem and send them back to their own common room she then they wouldn't take over the Ravenclaw one and do things like, oh, take over a WHOLE couch when it was obvious others needed it too.

Although that was no reason for Sabrina to get annoyed. After all, this one was only telling her that it was a garden party, even though she hadn't actually asked him. But then he laughed at her.

Hmph.

The tiiiiiny sixteen year old nodded at the boy and turned back to Professor Bunbury.

Noticing the look the girl gave him, he shrugged at her and said, "I was only being friendly." Well, sorta. He was in a good mood after all.

Oh yea...his bowtie was huge! And, multi-coloured. But, when was he going to get the chance to wear it again, really. He was at least in part, a little dishevled, with a suit that had been tailored at his wifes' insistance, but that nonetheless for the way he whipped himself into it, had a crookedish sort of look to it. No matter. He'd straighten it out in a bit. Right now, he did not care to be late to Professor Bunbury's garden gala. He walked slowly through the darkness until the light from the tealights was good enough to see his hand in front of him, and he picked up a joyous sort of step, carrying a gift of fine elf made '47 for the lovely Herbology Professor.

"Professor Bunbury!" He called covivially to the redhead sitting upon a rosey bench beyond the ginormous lily pads. "Don't you look lovely, m'dear." And it would be correct. "What's the occassion?", he asked wondering out loud.

Birthday?

BIRTHDAY?!

Reese knew she was suppose to know about Torin's birthday, but...oh, no! She forgot her best friend's birthday. This was not good. She didn't say anything for a few minutes as she thought about when Torin's birthday was. It was in May, right? Of course it was. He wouldn't be asking her if it wasn't in May. Ohh, when was his birthday!

The 13th...no.

The 19th...no.

The 23rd...YES! That was it. May 23rd.

Go, Reese. Go, Reese. You got his birthday! You got his birthday! She did a little mental dance inside her head as she figured out when exactly his birthday was. "No, I don't know what I'm going to get you, yet. But, no worries! I'll figure something out," she told him with a smile. She kept quiet when Torin started talking to another girl she didn't know. Her attention went back to the food table as she waited for Bunbury to start this party/lesson. Actually, she was waiting for Bunbury to say: 'Okay, class! LET'S EAT!'.

The chocolates he had ordered from Paris, had finally arrived and Marcus couldn't contain his excitement. It took all his self control not to dig and stuff his face with them but he had heard Annie, was holding a garden party and he didn't want to go in there on a sugar high.

He made his way down to the party trying to appear casual but kept fidgeting in his suit. It wasn't often that he dressed up like this but he knew Annie, liked to dress up and so he thought he would make the effort.

Marcus entered the tent with a box of her favorite chocolates under his arm and weaved his way through the tables in search for her. He waved and smiled to the kids that were already there. Wow she had done a really good job decorating the place, but she was always good like that. Hmm...where was she?

Herminny was exstatic she was getting the chance to be out after hours without getting in trouble. As she approached the garden she was surprised to see this was a bit more formal of a gathering then she thought and her in just her school robes. Whatever she thiught as she entered the garden knowing she was gonna have a good time regardless of dress just being out late.

He raised his brow and wondering why it was taking her so long to answer. Then he nodded. "You better figure it out soon." He looked over to where Bunbury was and sighed. He wanted to go over to her. Maybe he would with the excuse of talking to the girl with her.

Ah, at last! It was midnight and the first guests were arriving - finally.

"Why thank you, Prefect Potter," Bunbury greeted the Gryffindor with a smile. She had put some time into it, so it was nice to be appreciated.

Varius "Hand Biter" Tipps was here, was he? Hmm. "Thank you for noticing, Tipps," she nodded at the boy. Hopefully he wouldn't try anything with any of her plants.....

EEEEEKSTALKER!Kane! Where was Marcus to hide behind when Annie needed him?!

"Erm, thanks, Mr. Kane," the professor muttered in reply to the boy. Hopefully someone else would come along to distract the boy...

"Good morning, I suppose you could say, Miss Upstead," she turned to the Slytherin with relief. AHA. Good, she was going to talk to Torin and keep him away from Bunz.

Anastasia blinked as a somewhat lost-looking, booger-picking boy appeared suddenly in the gardens.

"It's... well it's a garden party, dear," she answered him with her head tilted. And he looked like he wasn't the only lost one if that Ravenclaw was any indication.

Anastasia leaned forward off her bench to squint at the boy a bit more closely... he kind of looked too tiny to go to Hogwarts. *GASP* What if he WAS lost? Maybe he was one of the villager's children from Hogsmeade!

"Do you go to Hogwarts, m'boy?" Bunbunz wondered out loud, still staring at the booger-picker curiously. Surely he didn't because no REAL student would DARE to flick a boogie at her plants....

"Ello William," she greeted the Ravenclaw by still staring at Booger Boy.

Noticing another (lost-looking) student wander up, Anastasia nodded at the girl's excitement.

"Yes, it IS a party! A plant party, you see. We'll wait for some more guests before the festivities really begin."

Hehhehe by "festivities" she meant a mini-lesson, of course, but there was food so maybe the kids would pay attention for once.

"Professor Kapoor!" the redhead cheerfully returned her coworker's greeting, ridiculously pleased to see another adult here. "Thank you, thank you... and what a.... ah..." she had to find the right word, "what a unique bowtie you have there! Lovely. What is in the bottle, may I ask?"

She quirked a brow and then repeated her purpose. "It's a GARDEN PARTY! To celebrate some special plants, you see." Or he would see, soon enough.

Wow she had done a really good job decorating the place, but she was always good like that. Hmm...where was she?

Spotting a rather dashingly dressed figure from afar - and the BLUEBOXOFCHOCOLATESQUEEE in his hand - Anastasia started beaming again.

"Maa---ahhh, Professor Lawson, come join us by the pond!" she called out with a little wave toward her pink bench.

Maybe she should have set out more chairs - but they were going to look at the blooming water lilies, after all, and then she could always find more seats.

"A garden party," he muttered to himself and shrugged his shoulders.

Cordova strolled quietly through the party smiling at familiar faces and nodding at others who for the first time were making eye contact with his. He settled himself in seat close enough to the food and also where he could get a good sight of what was going on around him. "Professor Lawson," he muttered to himself chuckling at the site of seeing his Professor all dressed up and looking.... rather nice. Not that Professor didn't happen to dress nice, but you could tell there was some effort.

"Oh," he said slightly frowning and pressing his lips together. That bow tie is ... A LOT, he thought to himself, his eyes wide on Professor Kapoor. Before being caught staring, he looked once again at the food table waiting for someone to eat something before he did.

With that, Torin decided to head back over to the pond where Bunbury the Ravenclaw was.

He headed over to the little gathering. "Professor Bunbury, when are we starting? And what are we doing for the lesson?"

He then turned to the Ravenclaw girl. "Hey, I'm Torin."

Willie's green egg like eyes were surveying the garden. Everything was so... so green. Of course, it was a garden and everything in a garden was supposed to be green. Willie furrowed his brows, sticking up another finger up his other nostril.

Yeaahhh, he was on a booger hunt!

He had heard the Ravenclaw boy, but Willie didn't bother replying to him as he was too busy with his booger hunt.


Once he heard her voice, he looked up and blinked at the lady. Who was t--Ohhh, she was the professor! The crazy professor he'd been hearing of. Willie blinked at her like an owl. Actually, it would be cool if he were an owl. "Ahhhh--"

Waiiit a second. She thought he wasn't attending this school?! That lady was going to get a piece of his mind she will! How dare she---

WAIIIIIIT.

What are you thinking Willie Crocker?! You can manipulate this woman to your every need!

Instantaneously, his eyes teared up and his lower lip quivered. "I--I--I'm at 'Ogwartth? Rea---Reallllyy?! I--I--I jutht wath walkin' 'round, mitth! I'm really thorrry, I am! REALLY!"

Iris walked into the Student Garden nervously with Aaron and Fallon (?). The notice board had said everyone... but there wasn't that many people there, and her, Aaron and Fallon seemed to be the youngest people there... surely the other firstie's don't go to bed this, OK - not so early. She looked around at all the pink and grinned, one thing that she had leaned about the professors this year was that Professor Bunbury loved the colour pink.

Iris looked at the sky, wondering why Professor Bunbury had chose to hold the tea party at midnight... The stars did help create some kind of mood though, one that would make and eleven year old laugh at the thought of.

"Hello Professor Bunbury. The student Garden looks very lovely tonight, you must have spent ages getting it sorted." she said, smiling at the Teacher, "You look very pretty tonight too, miss." she added, a bit of flattery never killed anyone after all.

She turned around to face her two friends, "so... what now?" you could see that exitement was just ready to burst out of her, but then again... it's what you would expect of most eleven year olds.

Good morning? Yeah. That was a good way to say it. Goodnight was just a rubbish way to say hello.

"Good morning," Reese greeted the Professor once again. She looked back to the chair Torin was sitting in, well, the chair he was sitting in. Where did he go? She looked around the area and when she spotted Torin heading towards Ravenclaw girl Bunbury, she rolled her eyes. She watched him for a few more seconds, then leaned back in her chair and looked back up at the stars.
