| | |  The Whomping Willow
 Since 1971, this infamous plant has kept it's reputation for not favouring visitors. The Whomping Willow is an extremely violent tree that will attack anything and anyone that comes within range of its branches. A deciduous plant, its limbs function as arms and any damage to them must be treated in the same way and more. So unless you want to spend most of your time in the Hospital Wing being treated, it's best to keep your distance.

Hadley was bit miffed. A rose bush leaf! She'd walked around for days with a rose bush leaf in her mouth. And here she thought Paul Myers was a trustworthy guy! She was going to give him a piece of her mind.
A very loud piece of her mind. Yessireebob!
Wait...wasn't that Myers? Over next to the Whomping Willow? What was he doing there?
It didn't matter, honestly. It saved Hads the full walk to the Greenhouses. "MYERS!!" She stormed her way directly to the man, anger clear on her face. "YOU GAVE ME ROSE BUSH LEAVES!"

He hadn't spent a lot of time on the grounds since the nearly getting frozen incident had happened, and it was even rarer that he was out alone. But he had seen Haddie go by first, and people were out on the grounds more often now... so he was sure it was okay. He just wanted to get down to the greenhouses and tend to his plant patch. It had only been getting the bare minimum of his attention, and some of his plants were likely being threatened by plant death.
His poor plants.
The small boy had been trying to fix his hair again, and today it was again the soft, dusty rose pink it had been several times in the intervening months. He had grown used to it now, at least. He followed after Haddie, not close enough for her to notice him but close enough that she would hear him if he called out. She seemed on a mission though, so he wouldn't bother her unless-
Unless she started screaming and took off, like she just had. Jaemin blinked in surprise and followed after her, because she was yelling at Myers and he needed the man to be in near proximity if he was in the greenhouses anyway. Just in case.
Rose bush leaves? | |

Dora HAD been minding her own business. Totally just wandering around aimlessly and all, but shouting caught her attention. Hmmmm. As a Gryffindor she was a total supporter of shouting in general.
The little blonde took a bit of a detour and made her way ALMOST over to the little group that was forming. The one that seemed to be headed by Professor Myers. Dora mostly liked him, even if she no longer trusted him following the shrinking lesson. Bah!
There were others around and Dora gave a small smile their way... was she welcome? Could she join them? Recent events and mean people made her less inclined to Gryffindor her way over...

He was about to send the spell to the knot located in a very precise place on the Willow when he heard his name.
Apparently, he'd ticked someone off, and that person was the very smallllllll Haddie Denaker. And it seemed she'd finally caught on to his trick on her. Paul merely raised an eyebrow in her direction. "Oh? Did I?" he feigned surprise, even though he knew, full well, what he had done. "Did it mess anything up? Oh Miss Denaker...I am SO sorry..." He sighed fake mournfully. "But I'm about to give the Ole' Willow a little pruning...maybe check out its trunk a bit." He nodded. "If you'd like to help? Then maybe we can talk about those mandrakes leaves...."
He saw little Jaemin, too, and sent the Slytherin a wave. "You're welcome to join, too, m'boy! I need all the help I can get!" Oh! And little Dora! He waved her over as well. "Hello, Dora!"

The sinister creak had come from none other than the menacing tree located near the small group gathering in its midst; the tree was not happy. Its branches began to move ever so slightly.
Did they want a knock to the head? A hit to the gut? The Whomping Willow weighed its options.
Those who dared disturbed its peace would soon pay the price if not careful.

What was that commotion about?
Turning her attention towards the Whomping Willow, Esme could see an angry Haddie confronting Professor Myers. A couple other students were there as well, but she was more interested in what was going on about rose bush leaves??? Weird...
Curiously she made her way over towards them while keeping a cautious eye on the tree. "It looks like it's going to start attacking..." Just saying. She was going to be staying out of reach because those branches had to hurt and she didn't want to spend time in the Hospital Ward if she didn't need to. "Why are we here anyway? Does the tree need looking after?" Honestly she didn't see any other reason why Myers would be paying so much attention to it. | |

Erm.
This would be hard alone .___. He should have asked Justin or...James for help. Granted, James would have probably let the Willow hit Paul around like he was a bludge in a Quidditch match. At least he would have gotten out of doing THIS. But the tree had really gone far too long and needed a good pruning and maybe even....some bark examination....
UGH.
"Well, Willow. You're looking quite lovely today," he said, shoving his hand in his pocket to grab his wand. Harriet had just been having a walk around the castle grounds. She liked doing this a lot. There were so many pretty things around the grounds, and as an artist, Hattie loved it. She was making lots of mental notes of what she wanted to draw or paint next. Her mother had already put two of her paintings into them ministry election raffle, so she was happy.
As she headed down to the whomping willow, to have a look, she noticed a small group of people around it, including Professor Myers. She smiled, heading over. "Hey guys..." She murmured, as she looked around, then she smiled up at the professor. "What are you doing sir?" Because she didn't like the look of that tree. It was pretty, something she'd draw, but she didn't know if she'd want to get any closer to it.

Well, the Willow was getting fidgety, and Haddie didn't speak up soon, she'd have to air her grievances in a little while. She could stew the entire time for all Paul cared; he had to get this done! And look, helpers had arrived!
"Well, all of you--" Dora, Jaemin, Hattie, Esme...and even Haddie, "I'm here to give the Willow some good ole' pruning. He doesn't much like it, though. Probably try to kill us--all in good fun!" Ahem. He was trying to talk this up so that they'd help, yes? "Anyone who heeeeelps me will get a surpriiiiiiiiiiise," a surprise he'd figure out......after this, yes.
Mhmm.
