Your wonderful Professor Bunbury has been extremely careful and tedious in preserving this garden started by Professor Caraccio. She hasn't moved a single plant around nor made any other changes, with the exception of the puffapods and flutterbies the class planted in Term 21 in the southwestern corner of the garden. Oh, and don't overlook that bright, shiny, new pink shed in that contains tools, buckets and watering cans for the students to use.

Feel free to tend to a plant you or a friend may have created in class, or just admire the handiwork of your fellow Hogwartians.

Lining the student gardens are the cherry trees which were grafted in Term 15 and the Northern Planters are occupied by the student hybrids created at the end of Term 16.

A pond borders the western edge of the garden and newly painted pink benches have been renovated so hardworking students may take a rest after pulling weeds.

North-Eastern Planter
Excelsior's White Lily x Tiger Lily (unnamed): a lily which looks much like the tiger lily, though a light yellow color

Rapunzel's Honking Daffodil x Narcicuss (The Bright Badger): a petite narcicuss which squeak

Central North Planter
Jasmine's plumeria rubra acutifolia x catharanthus roseus (unnamed): a deep-blue colored Frangipani

Sho's Silver Rose x Yellow Carnation (Sunrise Carnation): large-petaled carnations which look like a metallic yellow

Ariana's Pink Rose x Blue Rose (unnamed): roses with red petals that fade to purple

North-Western Planter
Hermy's Sword Leaf Iris x Winter Love Lily (unnamed): slender spread petals, shimmering in purple, blue, and gold

Ryan's Royal Iris x Easter Lily (Rowena's Knight): lily with frilled petals in blue and purple

Bess's Dark Mauve Iris x Light Pink Lily (unnamed): dark pink lily with specks of deep violet adorning the center

SPOILER!!: Basic Map of the Student Garden

"Well... yeah. You should," Plymouth nodded to the shoe comment. He didn't HAVE to acknowledge that things were complicated. He KNEW complicated. "But.... here." Plymouth pulled the jacket out from under his rear and reached for one Daphne's wet feet. "Don't want to ruin your shoes." So... he started to dry her feet with his pinstriped jacket. There was PROBABLY a good charm to use for such thing, but Plymouth ... didn't know one. Didn't care to know one, at the moment.

Ama · 07-29-2009, 04:34 AM

Just when she thought she was done blushing around Plymouth Morgan he'd have to put his hands on her ankles. Holding her breath, she nodded slowly at him, not trusting herself to speak. Her feet had been inside the water so long they were colder than the rest of her body; so that Morgan's hands felt hotter than they would normally on her sensitive skin. Laughing nervously, Daphne wiggled her toes at Plymouth. "This must be the first time someone besides Davis dries my feet."

And Davis hadn't done that since she was four!

Mad Eye Touz · 07-29-2009, 04:56 AM

Plymouth grinned his little crooked grin. He patted down one foot completely before moving to the other. "Maybe you should take your shoes off and get your feet more often then, Daphadil." Plymouth pinched her toes lightly when he was done drying her feet off. He reached for her shoes and lightly took them from her hand. "Besides, you've got that... dress on." She couldn't very well bend over and such things in that.

After a curious inspection of her shoes (girl shoes were so... much more interesting than boy shoes), Plymouth lifted one little dry foot at a time and slid her shoes back on. "Perfect." He grinned at her shoes, then finally up at her. "Ready, Daphadil?" Was she ready to go? Hmm. Plymouth couldn't tell much of ANYTHING from Daphne Hopton.

Ama · 07-29-2009, 05:02 AM

Oh. Oh! The dress. Self-conscious, Daphne was definitely going to give up on the not blushing goal she had set for herself mentally three seconds ago. Nodding, she wiggled her toes happily inside her shoes, away from prying!Plymouth eyes. "Yes. Where are we going now?" inquired the blond and glanced down at his hand.

He...Cough. Blush.

"Uh...hopping, right?" mumbled the blond distractedly, fingers reaching out tentatively for his thumb.

Caught! It was hers. "I don't want to fall."

Mad Eye Touz · 07-29-2009, 05:17 AM

"Unless you would prefer to swim?" Plymouth KNEW better than that though. "Hehe." He pulled his knees up and CAREFULLY got up on the lily pad. Of course, he did not wish to have his thumb back, so he remained stooping, but balanced.

"Stand up real careful, Daphadil. And, get your balance. Then, we'll hop." Funny how when sitting the lily pad had seemed so much larger. Standing... he felt crowded, like he was breathing down on Daphne. It says a lot for a situation when Plymouth Morgan acknowledges an issue with closeness. He wrapped his fingers around her fingers and then offered his other hand to help her up. "Real easy."

Ama · 07-29-2009, 05:24 AM

Even if he fell into the water, got dangled in some kind of vines and was attacked by Grindylows, Daphne Hopton was not going to release Plymouth Morgan's thumb willingly. Not even their close proximity was persuading otherwise. However, to calm her racing mind and churning stomach, she kept her gaze down on their shoes. The size difference was enough to keep her wondering.

Taking a deep breath, she first brought herself up on one knee and sloooowly eased hersel up, wobbling slightly as the lily pad rocked for a brief moment until she could lock her legs well enough to keep both of them balanced.

"I'm okay! I'm okay!" she reassured him, even though she spoke out loud mostly for her own nerves. Steady.

STEADY LEGS! "Alright! Let's hop? Which way?" The way you came from, silly. "That way?" finished Daphne and nodded in the direction they came from.

Mad Eye Touz · 07-29-2009, 02:30 PM

"You're okay," Plymouth agreed, though certainly with a bit more confidence. He pulled her hands up high and held them both until she got balanced on the giant lily pad. Only once he was sure that she was okay did Plymouth drop one of her hands.

The other would remain in Daphne's possession until she let go.

Then, Plymouth stepped back from Daphne (as best he could on the lily pad) and turned around with a little stoop, twisting his arm around so that she could keep that thumb.

Really, he was going to great lengths for his thumb's happiness.

"I'll ride you across? I know the little path by heart Hop on, Miss Hopton?"

Ama · 07-29-2009, 09:55 PM

Thumb still in her possession, Daphne blinked at Plymouth and his back before tilting her head to better make eye contact. "I--Well, let's see," she drawled and paused to chew on her bottom lip. "You want me--to hop on your back and..."

Yes. "You want me to hop on your back?" Letting go of his thumb she took a step forward, and placed both hands on Plymouth's back.

How did this even work? Back hopping?

Mad Eye Touz · 07-29-2009, 10:07 PM

"You jump... or.. just sort of hop." Plymouth was a grinning fool at Daphne clearly not ever having had a piggy back ride. Really, what had she done before Plymouth came along? "And, I'll grab your legs," Plymouth reached behind him to pat the back of Daphne's knee," and you'll hold on to my neck. Think you can do that?" Plymouth crouched a little lower for ickle Daphne.

Ama · 07-29-2009, 10:23 PM

Following Plymouth's instructions, Daphne nodded once before placing her hands around his shoulders. Pushing up against him, she hopped slightly unto his back. Before she could fall, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

This...was interesting.

Good thing Morgan had good arms; she wouldn't have to worry about him dropping her and instead could focus on breathing properly and figuring out what was wrong with her body's cooling system. "Okay! I'm ready. I think. Yes."

Mad Eye Touz · 07-30-2009, 01:52 PM

Plymouth's grin faltered once Daphne was on his back. It was a whole LOT of responsibility all of a sudden to get himself and his back ornament safely across. Right. Focused. Plymouth Morgan was focused. "Hold on, Daphadil." Plymouth scooted her up as high as he could and then mapped out the route back to the mainland quickly.

Big step... Hop... Big step... Readjust Daphne... Hop...

"Hehe..." It seemed his worrying was for nothing though, and Plymouth Morgan delivered his oh so so so so so special cargo to the other side. BIG HOP. Plymouth shrugged up higher again and then made no move to put her down. He liked her right where she was. "We'll come back later and see if they liked their food. Bring them some more. If you want." Plymouth started on the little path out of the student garden.

Ama · 07-30-2009, 10:00 PM

Daphne did her best to keep quiet while on Plymouth's back but every once in a while, a small startled noise escaped her; especially at the big hops. However, Morgan's feet were soon on steady ground and she breathed out in relief, sort of collapsing atop him. Laying her chin on one of his shoulder, Daphne blew away at a strand of golden hair, annoyingly flying at her face.

She blew again. And again before it decided to tuck itself somewhere away from her eyes. Ooh! Gardening talk. "I'd love that," she replied happily. "I want to see the lilies again."

Where were they going? Blinking slowly, she turned her face, her cheek now on Morgan's shoulder. "Where are you taking me now?"

Mad Eye Touz · 07-30-2009, 10:17 PM

"I was thinking we could go ... well I have one idea. If you aren't tired of me yet?" Plymouth titled his head back, bringing his face awful close to Miss Hopton's. He trudged on up the path, occasionally swaying on purpose so Daphne could go near some of the flowers.

Ama · 07-30-2009, 10:23 PM

Considering her feet had been in his hands not too long ago, Daphne only felt slightly uncomfortable at the proximity of his face to hers. Thankful that her blushing had gone down to a minimum she grinned at Plymouth, looking at him through her lashes. "I could never get tired of you," she answered then wrinkled her nose. "You're silly. Let's go!" she finished with a happy voice and pointed her finger at a random direction over his shoulder. "That way! Is it that way?"

Plants plaaaaants PLANTS.

Cam had barely been at the student garden. Nature double-slapped him for that and smacked him in the head and wrestled him down and threatened to kidnap his poking finger unless he observed the garden more. Mean... but hokaaaay! He was nature's hostage but did heee complain about it? Nope!

Because Cam was officially an embracer of nature.

CHYEAH.

He sniiifffedd the fresh air, OHHH he could smell the dragon poop, it... smelled oddly... weird but he'd gotten used to it. "PLANTS PLANTS PLANTS ARE THE FUUUTURE!" he hummed, skipping to and fro, glancing at the pretty little flowers and plants every now and then.

Hayley was strolling through the gardens looking at all the pretty plants. Yay plants!
Ahhh ... the fresh springy air of airness and..ahhh. The birds were all chirpy and the butterflies all fluttery and the flutterbies all buttery...
It was skippin time! So she started skipping through the gardens.
Skippity dippity *THUD* She'd run into...something. "Owwww..."

highjinx · 08-10-2009, 12:10 AM

Cam stopped skipping.

Observe.

Observe.

He looked at the pretty hybrids and the flowers, and ... stared at them. And then he gave a wave to prove that he came in complete peace, and the nature in his head had started speaking the language of plants, complete gibberish to him but ... yes. Yes the nature in his head was speaking its own native little language.

"Hiiiiiii pretty plants, well--EEEEEP."

THUD!

And in a moment, he was on a floor, feeling... SOMETHING on top of him. WHAT WAS THAT?! He couldn't see, his face was facing down the floor. IT MUST HAVE BEEN A HUMANOID ALIEEEEEEEN. "GEDDITT OFFF'AA MEEEEEE! NOW NOW GEDDITTT OFFF!" He said, wondering if there was anyone left in the gardens.

Were those his last words before his brain was going to be sucked out from his ears?!

Hayley lay still for a few more moments before she registered the wriggling and screaming...so she had run into a person. "Sorrysorrysorry" she mumbled, rolling off the person's back. "Sorry." She got up to her knees and examined the person she'd fallen upon. A boy...and he had quit moving and screaming.

OH NOES! I KEELED HIM!

Hayley crawled closer to him, and slowly moved her extended index finger towards his side *poke* "Uhm...are you dead?"

highjinx · 08-10-2009, 12:25 AM

A girl? GIRL?

HOOOOLLYY--That was waaaay more worse than a humanoid alien. Like. Like. PANIC. A girl had been on top of him for about 5.8 seconds.

OMG. EWWWW?!?!

He went silent but she'd gotten off, but... he was poked! POKED! Oh so this girl knew his language did she? Squirming for a few minutes while still on the ground, he lifted himself up and gave the girl an IIIIICCCCYYYYY glare before... poking her back. "I have a poken' fingah and I'm NOT afraid to use it!" Hm? Was she scared?

Oh psshh she SHOULD have been scared.

"Now... say sorry, ooooorrr I poke you 'till death," he threatened.

Eeek! He wasn't dead! And he looked maaaaaaad. "So, you-" *poke*.

"Well MY FINGER CAN POKE TO!" she exclaimed, poking him back..back? "And you can't KEEL someone with POKES! So HA!"

Who did this boy think he was? Poking her meanly. She'd only poked him to make sure he wasn't DEAD! "You're not very nice," she said, glaring at him.

highjinx · 08-10-2009, 12:35 AM

Poked? AGAIN?

THIS GURL WAS GUUUUD. Cam continued his glare as she'd, poked him agaaaaain and he brought out his finger. Right. HMPH. He gave her a poke while she spoke and stepped back immediaaately, ready to defend his body from the pokes!

HUH?!

Can't... kill someone with pokes? This girl was DEEELUUUSSIOONAL. Of COURSE you could kill someone with pokes. Poking someone on the forehead until they finally lose enough brain cells and go in a coma--SURE that didn't mean dead but... but it was POSSIBLE. Right? Right. "Well, I can," he stated and then reached out to poke, and then took twoooo more steps back.

Not nice? MEAN? "Well--well YOU'RE a meaniebobeanie too, you--you," he couldn't think up of anymore insults but, "For scaring me to DEATH like that!"
...girls.

"Quit POKING ME!" Hayley wailed. "It's very mean and uncomfortable! And I'm not a meanybobeanie! I was just making sure you weren't DEADED!"

How dare this boy be so..so...so...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

"And it's not POSSIBLE TO KILL SOMEONE WITH FINGER POKES! Unless you poked them in the head til they lost all their brain cells! And who has the patience for THAT?!"

This boy was INFURIATING!

"Who do you think you are, anyway!?"

highjinx · 08-10-2009, 12:55 AM

Girls were... SOOOOOOOOO sensitive.

Annoying. Sensitive. Little. Brats. HMPPPH.

Cam gasped when she stated that his pokes were MEAN and UNCOMFORTABLE and how she said she wasn't mean at all! SHE LIED. Girls were liars, she knew that she liked his pokes (awkweeeird) and she knew that she was mean! To check if he was dead or not? OHHHH so this girl was good at excuses, too eh? EEHHHH?

This girl... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

"Well, I DO." And to show he did, he quickly took a step forward and poked her on the forehead 7 times to be exact and smirked. Oh yeah. Kill someone with pokes. Totally. Could. Happen.

Who he was? The girl didn't know who he was?! "I'M YOUR DOOOOOOOOOOM, obviously! Now... now say your SORRIES, or else misseh!"

"My DOOM!? You are so FULL of yourself! I already SAID I was sorry for running into you! I was only POKING YOU CUZ I WAS AFRAID YOU WERE DEAD!!!!!" Was that SO hard for his small brain to comprehend?

highjinx · 08-10-2009, 01:38 AM

Incorribleh?! WHAT? WHAAAATTT???!!!?!

"DUN USE WORDS I DUN UNDERSTAND, PERSON!" he warned, bringing out his poking finger back up in the air. OMG. He was poked, no, not once or twice but several times to the stomach. EEEEEP. His stomach. It hurt. The food was probably being tortured by this... meaaan girl. "How--how DAAAARE you!" he said, and then poked her... mmm about 10 times to the forehead!

OMGWUT? Full of himself? "I am NOT full of myselffffff, LAAADDY!" he said, wanting to call his plants and make them attack her, "Well SAAAY SORRY again, misseeeeh, and NO excuses."

Afraid he was dead? OH PSHHH he couldn't die. No, he had powerzz.

"Now... saaay your sorries. I haz powerzz. I can unleash all of these plants on you and you'd die and never fullfill your life-long dreams, eaten and attacked by plants until all you have left is yo' liver and everything else eaten. Gory death. GORY death."
