Well, technically she was hoping she could have gone for a quiet walk since the last time that happened, it turned into a disaster. But of course, nothing ever went right and her attention had been taken by someone carrying a small tree towards Bunz's office. And it looked like Josh. Why he would be carrying a tree, she was about to find out.

"Hey Josh." she said happily, after watching him knock on the door to the Herbology Professor's office. Bunz...eh. "What's with the tree? Trying to get on Bunz's good side?"

"I love tea parties," Tobias commented, quickly backtracking, "Specifically, I love tea. But that's not the point." Chaucer, with his ranting personality, seemed bursting to talk, so Tobias let him steam ahead.



Tobias nodded. Chaucer knew just how to say things. "I'm Tobias Rivers, a second year, but also quite interested in Herbology. I did have some things to discuss with you, but if you're busy, I of course can come back at a better time." Tobias smiled pleasantly at the professor. Talking to this woman was imperative to his happiness; Tobias would do anything to keep her from banning him from her presence.



The professor seeming on the verge of an emotional breakdown, and Tobias realized it was time to retreat. "Come on, Chaucer," he said, tugging a bit on the older Slytherin's sleeve. "Let's just come back later."

"We're sorry to bother you, Professor," he said to Bunbury, "and we appreciate the gesture - " he pointed to the coupon. "But it really is quite unnecessary."


"Professor, perhaps you are in more need of this coupon than ourselves," Tobias said kindly, now starting to become worried about the Herbology professor. "Or, maybe you really should have a tea party. Socializing can be quite fun, especially with Chaucer around."

AH yes. This was obviously the real Bunbun. Her reaction proved it. She was all RAAAWR I will eat you. And she probably could. Redheads did that.

Dolt? Did...she just call him a dolt? Wasn't that like agaisnt the LAW? He was a student she wasn't allowed to call him stupid! Weellll if she wanted to call him that then the game was on! She was going to suffer.

"Which flower.....where?" Legend tapped his index finger to his cheek pretending to look stumped. "Honestly Professor I really have no clue. I'm such a dolt that I can't even remember!" Mwaha! This was fun!

Legend was actually enjoying himself until Bun slumped back down in her chair. She was....sad again? They DID say you should never poke a lion when it was doownn.....but he was a Gryffindor so he guessed that was okay.

*Knock-knock* and Rose's voice *Cough-cough*. How ironical it was that he happened to see her the first time after the horrible struggling incident right before Bunz's door, his professor crush. Well...not really a crush. It was hard to explain and a boy's emotional intelligence was not enough to compherend or explain it, at least Josh's was not. ''Hey, hun!'' he exclaimed right after her greeting and looked down at the little tree he was holding when she uttered her question. ''Well...right. I know it is hopeless but i want to see my chances anyway''

In the back of her mind, she remembered him saying something about attending Herbology class because of the professor. The professor that he was giving a tree to. Narrowing her eyes slightly, a small smile appearing on her lips, she leaned against the wall next to the door and just...stood there in silence for a moment or two. Aw, jealousy...

"Would it be alright if I hung around then?" she asked, placing her hands behind her back and waiting for the Professor to open the door. Maybe she should get on the Professor's good side too. Though it seemed a lot easier to plan in her mind than to actually do it.

Chaucer looked over at his fellow Slytherin with a put out look that suggested a reluctant acceptance of the situation. It was a pity that he had ventured all throughout the school to find the Greenhouse only to leave prematurely, but with the professor in such a state it was likely anything he could have wanted would have been provided in a muddled mess of fragmented sentences.
"Very well Tobias, we shall take leave. Let us get some dinner instead, it feels like I have been traveling around this labyrinth for days and I'm positively famished!"

He grinned widely when his eyes spotted Rose's meaningful narrowed ones combined with that sarcastic or cunning or both smile. And as she just stared at him he wanted to lean against the wall right opposite to her, too but ''Ow!'' jumped away from the wall with pain caused by the wound of Doxy bites when it was pressed against the solid surface. This, of course, also broke the precious eye contact between them.

''Yep'' he nodded checking the wound for a split moment and turning back to her ''I'd be glad but i cannot tell if Bunz would feel the same, umm, for both of us'' That was true maybe she would kick them out the office. Who knew? ''I can tell that this tree is our gift, instead of mine. If you'd like me to.''

Evelyn stood up suddenly, wide eyed when Josh seemed to be in pain. Was there something on the wall that poked him? Examining it, there didn't seem to be anything sticking out of it that may have hurt him, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw him looking at his arm. There were, scratches? Scars? "What happened?" she asked, taking his arm and looking at the, what looked to be...holes? Teeth marks?

Well that was true. Josh may have given permission for her to stay around but it was a whole different story with Bunz. 'Our gift?' she repeated in her mind, glancing up and staring into his eyes. Our. That had a nice ring to it...which made her completely forget why she had been jealous before."Only if you want. You're the one that got it for her."

OOC: I know you all know this, but try to give me a chance to respond instead of carrying on conversations when I can't get online. It just makes it that much more difficult to reply quickly. THANKOO! <3

"Puhh-professsor..." he said quietly, still chewing on his lip as he stared at the woman. "I'm ssuhh-suh-sorry... I duhh-don't thhhink you sh-should bbbe... alone..."
But he wouldn't stick around if she didn't want him there.

"Muhh-maybe... at llleast... Where's juhh-gingerssssnapple?"

Okay, maybe that sounded like he was going to take the cat again.

He couldn't leave her alone, even if he risked the yes to the climbing.

Of course Annie shouldn't be alone just now. She just didn't want to be alone with children. Children. Psh. How could they possibly relate to her? Why, when she'd been their age..... the world was such a wonderful place....

"Gingersnapple?" the redheaded professor repeated her cat's name but shook her head. "No no he's at home. Mum's sick. Needs the cat." Even if he did give Robbie a hard time, Gingersnapple practically had magical healing powers, or at least he did in her mind.

Show some spirit, old bean, there's a lass!"
Noticing something had fluttered to his well-polished feet, Chaucer made a dramatic sweep of his hands and in one fluid circular motion, which he likely wouldn't be able to replicate in the future, picked up what appeared to be a coupon.
"There miss. This appears to be for chocolates... women like that sort of thing yes? Calms the nerves, releases the good vibes, yes. You may keep the kerchief I have several better ones at home, though that one isn't my worst persay. But if you insist I can return another time I wager. I'm not frightfully busy, not really."

She almost started tearing up again until the LITTLE BOY who spoke like he walked straight out of a Victorian novel handed her a hanky AND CALLED HER OLD BEAN.

"Ooolllddd??" she stole the lacey kerchief and quickly rubbed at her upturned nose. "I'm not OLLLLD!!! and and I DON'T NEED ANY MORE CHOCOLATES!!" OH EM GEE that had to be why Ethan left. HE THOUGHT SHE WAS FAAAAAAAT.

"I INSIST that you take the coupon!" Bunz did not take it back from the boy. "It is YOURS NOW."

"SO NOW YOU'RE LEEEEEAVING because you think I'm FAAAAAAAT," she burst out again, just burying her whole face in the hankerchief now. SOBSOBSOBSOBSOB.

"Waaaahahahahhaheehkilledmyffflowerssssssssssssssb bbbadbbboy," the professor continued her blubbering into the hanky. Sad, sad day.

"Very well Tobias, we shall take leave. Let us get some dinner instead, it feels like I have been traveling around this labyrinth for days and I'm positively famished!"

In a way, she wanted the children to go, and in another way, she did not. But if they sounded like they had made up their minds....

"FINE! If you're so famished then take these with you! ALL OF YOU!"

Holding onto the hanky with one hand, Bunz pushed more coupons off her desk and at each of the boys in her office. Chaucer had a frog one, Tobias got shoved a tea party one, Legend got a pile of papers containing who knew which one, and she even nudged one to Jake too.

Now at least her desk was cleaner for whoever would come wandering in next.

Jake had kept quiet after Bunbury told him about the cat, and chose to observe as the woman got more and more upset. Sure, he wasn't the best company for upset people... but until he found out who Bunz would rather have around... who was accessible, anyway... he'd stay. The show the woman was putting on, with the epic temper-tantrum, showed she wanted some kind of attention.

When a coupon came his way, Jake picked the scrap of paper up and looked at it. Wasn't this three now? As much as he wanted to return the coupon, Jake tucked it safely into his breast pocket and took another step forwards, the fear of the woman he previously felt no longer an issue.

Well... no longer a visible issue.

"Professor," the boy said quietly to the crying woman. Crying adults... were just... like an oxymoron. "I am... not lllluh-... luh-... not llleaving. I came here... fffor your cccc... company anyway," he pointed out, settling himself in the seat and staring straight at the woman.

He definitely had no desire to leave the woman alone, that was definite. Plus, he felt he'd caused this... so he'd fix it.

"Thhhank you fuh-for the... coupon," he said as an afterthought, setlling in his seat and looking pretty much determined to stay. If she didn't want him here, he'd go find someone she wouldn't mind.

Legend blinked and gave a confused look from Bunz and the boy. He...didn't call her fat. If the other boy had called her fat that would have been well....stupid! She was a teacher. But he hadn't and now....

She was crying.

CRRRYINNGGG. Legend backed away a bit. Now he felt bad! She was having a mental break down or something and crying LOUDLY in the hanky. It was just flowers!! And that other dude...T-something didn't even call her fat!

Women were insane.

"Professor- I...I didn't really I mean- I didn't... you know kill anything. I-" Taking out his wand the third year waved it as he muttered "Orchideous" under his breath. A small bouquet of red roses appeared. "Here!" He said thrusting the flowers toward the Professor. "You can have theses but I didn't even kill your other one! I swear."

He barley had time to think before she threw papers at him! The nerve! Looking down at the papers that had fallen he noticed that there was one of those coupon things that she was giving the other boys. Uh....great? "Professor...why do I need this?"

Jake... wasn't leaving?

The redhead stopped her overdramatic sniffling and blinked at the little Puff across her desk. Well. She clearly couldn't leave either. She'd.... just wait him out or something... and not say anything.... er...

"Tea. I really should make tea," Annie mumbled in a small voice. "Tea will help."

She smoothed out her robes and turned around in her chair to start fidgeting with the teapot, tapping with her wand to get it started heating.

AhhhhHAAAA but see, LEGEND HADN'T EVEN KILLED A REAL FLOWER! AHA! And he was giving her roses?

She accepted the bouquet and cradled it like it was her firstborn son. "For meee?"

Crying got you places. Hehehehh. And now the boy wasn't going to be a pain.

"I never said you needed the coupon, Chosen, I just said I didn't need it." She blinked her puffy eyes and then went and put the flowers in the vase on the mantelpiece, trying her very hardest not to look at any of the photo frames there. "Do you not WANT to go shopping?"

Silly boys. Everyone like, loved shopping. Duh. Annie just didn't shop in those low-end Hogsmeade stores.

"Mhmm," Jake made a small noise of agreement and nodded slowly, glancing around the office he visited (or attempted to visit) every year. It seemed... different. Like there was something missing.

Odd.

Meh.

Immensely glad that the woman had kind of calmed down a little, Jake immediately clung onto the change of subject. He knew that when he was upset, he wanted to rant and rave about it, but honestly? He didn't think he could handle more of Bunz's anger... he'd seen a snippet of that last year.

"Pppprofessor," the boy found he was having to force the words out; since he was tense, the stutter grew worse. "Thuhh-these cuhh-coupons... Whhhuh-what's up wwwitth them? I mmmust have about thuhh-three now..."

And he'd use them all. BWAHAHAHA! YAYYYY FREE STUFF!

"Is Huhhh-hogsmeade in ttttrouble?" the boy asked, not knowing how he'd feel about that. Jake rarely went to the village, but if it was losing money and closing down... well... there was something sad about that.

And OOOOH! FLOWERS! That reminded Jake of something. The boy pulled out his wand quickly, before he lost his sudden confidence. "Or-KID-ee-us!" the boy exclaimed, and there was his signature daisy. It wasn't two-headed, but nor was it wilted. It had the pink things at the edges, but... Jake thought it was more beautiful than any flower he'd ever seen. Mainly because HE'D done it.

Smiling proudly, Jake held the little flower up to the Professor, offering it to her.

He was so PLEASED with himself!

Hiding his arm from Evelyn, for right now he did not want to talk about this, he opened the door to step inside. Well, he knocked it right? He did so he could step inside. So he walked inside carrying the little tree holding it from the pot with a huge grin on his face.

''Professsor!!!!! Helloo! I have got something for you!!'' he did not yell too much this time but it might be enough to annoy the people inside.

It took some time of his to comprehend that the herbology professor was not alone inside. There was also Legend and...and JAKE!! *hmphpffthmph*

Ah, the tea was ready. Good. Annie started pouring out little pink cups full of the stuff, one for everyone who was still in the room. She nudged one little cup toward Jake and made some sort of face when he asked about Hogsmeade.

"Trouble? Isn't that little town always in some sort of trouble or another? I wouldn't know. I don't really shop there." The professor rolled her eyes and took a deep sip of the tea. Ah. Ah. That was better. She'd have to make a compress for her eyes with the leftover tea leaves later.

Her brows raised in surprise at the sudden little flower Jake produced before her very eyes. What was this, he could do magic now? HE REALLY WASN'T A SQUIB???

Trying not to let her shock show, Bunz carefully reached her free hand out and touched the delicate daisy with one red fingernail. "Thank you, Jake?" She did sound surprised. "Would you like to put it in the vase for me?"

Annie's hand went back to cradling her teacup and just in time, too, as a typically loud Gryffindor burst through the door. MERLIN. The nerve of children these days.

"Joshua Carter!" Well well wasn't he cheerful. She could use that. "Are you carrying a tree?" Or were her eyes really that messed up from sobbing?

That colour pink was surely going to haunt Jake for the rest of his life. However, the boy accepted the tea nudged towards him and smiled, shifting it to one side of the desk whilst he waited for it to cool off.

"Dunno," the boy responded, shrugging one shoulder at the comment about Hogsmeade. Neglecting to notice that his question had been, intentionally or otherwise, ignored, Jake beamed at the professor. She liked the flower he'd created! Awesome; he was well on the way to being a first-rate wizard.

"Sure!" Still standing tall and proud, Jake moved and put the daisy in the vase, having to use careful manouvering to make sure it got its nourishment. He was... worried about the poor little thing.

Jake had just gone to sit back down to drink his tea, when the door burst open... and there he was. Josh Carter.

Not realising he was doing so, Jake gripped at the seat of the chair with an intense hold, any relaxing mood he'd acquired in the last few minutes LONGGGGG gone.

He didn't like Josh Carter. Not one bit. Evil Gryffindor.

Deciding to stay very VERY quiet for the while, Jake grabbed his tea and sipped it...

Oh man. Scary time. SCARY TIME.

Was he pale? He felt very pale...

HEEEE... HUUUUU... HEEEEEE...HUUUUUU...HEEEE!

''Right professor!'' Josh said happily slamming the pot before the Herbology professor and as he did so, some of the soil inside fell off on the table ''Oops sorry! That was too much.'' What to do? What to do? Ah, right! With another happy grin the Gryffindor boy shoke the dirt off down to the floor with his hand. ''That's fine now. I guess...ehem...this is a baby fig tree professor. Nothing magical but last year i got the impression that you did not have any fruit trees...right?'' 'Do not laugh, do not laugh!! Hold it!'

Right after placing the pot on the table he took a few steps back to look around the room. He had to learn fully what this professor liked after all
...
...
...
''This place is...'' *shiver* ''...pink''. He was not sure about uttering this comment but it escaped his mouth anyway so to make another comment and hide his displeasure about the colour, he moved his gaze somewhere else that was not pink which ended up being Jake again. Hah! How ironical! Was not he pink too last year? Pinkie. Yes, he was angry with the pinkie tinkie Jakie boy. It was because of him that he suffered that horrible detention in that filthy dungeon. So what could he say? Nothing yet. He knew a glare that said 'You are sooo lucky that there's a professor here' would be enough for him to get the message so he did glare at him.

Evelyn snickered when she saw some of the soil fall onto the table, and the Professor's reaction to Josh's loud entrance. That was...before she really got a good look at the Professor. What happened to her? She...nevermind. It wasn't any of her business anyways and she'd rather not know.

Looking around the, real PINK, office, Evelyn's eyes landed right on someone she'd rather not see, be around, or be close into range where they were breathing the same air. Jake. Or better yet, like she called him, Mr. Stutters. Now that was just wouldn't do...being in the same room with him. Leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, she glared at the older Hufflepuff, noticing that his pink hair was gone. 'He looks better with the pink.' she thought, still scowling. Ehhhhhh....

"Hey Josh. If you want to hang out after your visit, I'm going down to the lake." To get away from the weird acting Bunz, from the PINKness, and from the crazy students infesting the weird acting Bunz's office. With one last look around the place, she started towards escaping leaving towards the lake. "See you around, Mr. Stutters." Evelyn called out, snickering as she became out of hearing range.

Bunbury quite honestly hardly even noticed Jake's heavy breathing once Josh had entered the room. Jake had given her a delicate little flower; Josh, on the other hand, came with a tree.

"A BABY FIG TREE!" the redhead totally geeked out for a moment and even managed to forgive the amount of dirt now on her floor. There was a cute little baby fig tree ALL OVER HER DESK! YAAAAAAY!

"I do have a collection of cherry trees in the student garden, you know," she corrected the boy. "And duh it's pink. Pink is my favorite color."

Rolling her eyes briefly for a moment, Bunz proceeded to inspect the sapling. "What kind of ficus is this, Josh? Where did you get it?" It looked to be in okay condition.... then again... this was a Gryffindork who had brought it to her.....

Annie looked up from the tree just for a moment as she heard someone address Josh. "Who's that? Is that Evelyn?"

She cocked her head toward the door and then shrugged. Back to the tree. The tree was more important than anyone in her office at the moment, herself excluded.

Alright this lady was offically insane.

Legend didn't know if he should feel sorry and pity her. Or....insult and make fun of her.

Gah. Life gave you so many hard choices.

"Obviously." He muttered under his breath. Who did she think it was for? Jeesh.

Oh that made sense....he guessed. A bit. But...he wasn't a girl. So...it didn't."Not really. Shopping is for girls, ladies, and crazy people who think it's a sport." Bunbun fit the last two.

Legend noticed that some other people had entered but that...stuttering dude left. Maybe he should too? He had come in here to make Bunbury PAAAAY. But instead.

He got a coupon. And gave her flowers.

Life did suck.

Josh, getting surprised at the professor unexpected exclamation took a step back from the desk, then relieved gradually when he figured it was not something bad and she was not angry at all. Good, good. ''You do really?'' he asked trying to sound as if he was scientifically interested in them hoping this question could be regarded as scientific : ''Can i eat them professor? I like cherries a lot. Not as much as strawberries though.'' And pink definitely was not the colour of a scientific person, as Josh believed so. Since he found it icky but did not want to upset her with remarks on that, the Gryffindor boy simply avoided further comments on the colour. Just think of the taste of cherries

Mmmmm....mmmmm...mmmm
Which turned into..
Hmmmmmm..hmmm..hmmm the next moment when he heard the question.

''To be honest professor'' he shrugged carelessly ''I have no idea. Just picked it from my mum's garden. She has many other baby trees there''

He was watching Bunbury carefully as she inspected the tree wondering what else would she figure out. He did not know what was his mum doing with these in the garden anyway. She was a weird, overly hardworking Ravenclaw witch who always seemed to work on some kind of experiments. Probably she was going to kill him for taking a...in a sudden he snapped out of those thoughts when he heard Rose's voice calling him. ''To the lake. Okay.'' he responded blinking at her ''Are you...'' going to be alone? 'Phew, realise where you are' hopefully he did immediately and silenced himself plus luckiley there was no need to complete the question since Evelyn was already gone.

Well...

...

... that was sad.

A pretty upset look overcame Jake's face as he was totally brushed aside... for a bully and a tree. The boy stared down into his lap and bit his lip, having TOTALLY HEARD that little nickname from Evelyn (good hearing). Feeling his bottom lip go, Jake realised that now HE was the person that needed to be alone and he pulled out some parchment and a self-inking quill from his pocket.

Feeling very much un-needed and unwanted, Jake wrote something untidily on the parchment and sighed, chucking it onto the desk and turning to leave.

And then... he left.

Sad Jake.

Sad, lonely, unnoticed Jake.

Satine was sooooo excited to have learned a new spell in Transfiguration and a spell that she was sure her favorite Professor would love. She headed straight out of class and down to the Professor's office. She really hoped that the stylish professor was back to her normal self and not the half way scary version she had ran into in the first weeks of the term.

Satine finally made it to the Professor door and with a flick of her wand hand, her wand shot out from it's hidden holster and into her right hand. She concentrated very hard on the flowers she wanted to leave for Bunbury. With a swish and a nonverbal "Orchideous", her hand was filled with dark pink blooms. Satine swished and said the incantation nonverbally a few more times to create a bouquet of flowers in various shades of pink.

She pulled out a vase and tied a lovely pink bow around it. She then placed the bouquet of pink flowers in a vase and placed a card in front of it.

The card was light pink and Satine had used dark pink ink to write the following greeting...

She smiled and placed the flowers by the door as to not interrupt the Professor but also so no one would knock them over as they walked by.

"Well it could be a sport." Bunz raised a brow at the boy, who was still here for some reason. Hmm. He must secretly have wanted to go shopping. Yep. That was it.

"You could make is a sport, Legend, you could make it a legendary sport. YOU COULD." The professor sat up in her chair a little straighter and nodded emphatically to him. "You could make.... popcorn-shopping...." or whatever annoying little boys did for fun, "a sport, even. I think you should. I think you should get a group of friends and go shopping this weekend and tell me how it works out, mmmkay?"

Anything to spread the love of shopping.

"And you.... well you could eat them...." Bunz turned her attention back to Josh and narrowed her eyes as if thinking. "They're rather small and extremely sour, but don't take my word for it. Try baking a pie or something first."

Heheheh this was her style of teaching.

"So your mother fancies herself a bit of a gardener then? Hmm." She made almost a tsking sound and touched a few more fig leaves before carefully setting the tree back toward the edge of the desk. "Were you planning on planting this tree, by the way, since you brought it to my attention that the student gardens need more fruit?"

Snort. Bring that one up to the groundskeeper.

Bunz craned her neck around Josh and his tree when she heard the door click shut.... and then she noticed that Jake was no longer in the room.

Oh. Well... what had he wanted again? To climb the Whomping Willow? They'd get to that, surely... surely.....

Meanwhile....

"Josh, since you're still here," HA, "go fetch me whatever is outside my door, will you? I swear somebody just came by and dropped something."

Or two somethings, now that she looked down at the desk and saw Jake's scribble of a note. Interesting that he didn't like the Gryffindor.

Okay Bunz was officially creeping him out. She was being all nice. And not getting angry when she talked about popcorn. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TEACHER THAT HE DISLIKED?!?!? It was like the real her had went poof.

She just needed some sleep....yeah.

"Sure...Professor...I'll just you know be going now. Uh. Bye." With that he rolled his eyes and left the office. Let those other kids deal with crazy Bun.
