Finally a Saturday where she had a decent amount of time to have a chat with her HoH. Hopefully the women was in her office and not to busy so they could talk for a bit. It wasn't anything that couldn't wait but she would rather not if she could help it. The sooner she was able to figure out what lessons she truly needed to continue taking... the better.

Rylee made her way to the smallest greenhouse that she knew to also be, Professor Sutton's office. Reaching the greenhouse she lifted her hand and knocked on the door. And now she waited.

Kassie had just finished pouring a cup of tea when she heard a knock on the door. "Yes? Please come in." She called out from the back as she grabbed a second teacup from the cabinet and placed it on the tray. It wasn't every day she had a visitor at tea time and she hoped that her guest would be able to stay for a cup and some cookies. Once the cups and cookies were securely on the tray, she headed towards the front door.

A gentle smile pulled at her lips as she heard Professor Sutton's voice calling out for whoever it was to come in. Rylee opened the door and stepped inside, closing it softly behind herself. While she waited right there where she was she took a moment to look around taking note of all the different herbs and plants.

"Hello, Professor," Rylee greeted warmly. "I hope I'm not interrupting you at all... but I was hoping I could speak with you for a few minutes? About my career goals and what would be the necessary steps I have to take in order to achieve them." Might as well get straight down to the point in case Sutton was indeed busy and didn't have the proper time to discuss such a topic at this very moment.

It was a lovely surprise to see Rylee enter her office. "Oh, goodness, don't be silly. You are not interrupting anything." Kassie slid out a chair at the table, then stepped around and pulled out one for herself. "Please, take a seat and join me for some tea and cookies. If you would like, that is, and you can tell me all about your goals. I'd love to hear what you have in mind." Rylee was proving to be an excellent herbology student and showed a lot of promise in all of her classes. She had never received a poor report about the 5th year from any of the other professors.

"May I pour you a cup of tea while we chat?"

Rylee smiled nodding her head as she walked over towards the chair that was pulled out for her. Knowing she wasn't interrupting anything was really nice as was the offer of joining the women for tea and cookies. "I would love a cup of tea, thank you," she replied happily accepting the offer as she settled herself down on the chair.

With all the different activities she was into one might find it difficult to pinpoint what her true passion really was. Rylee adored creatures and could be found out in the barn often, dancing was another love of hers that ran in her family from the moment she could stand. There was a deep appreciation for music as well which led to her taking violin lessons as well. And Quidditch. She had and still is a part of the Gryffindor team since her first year. Those that really knew her well though, would know that her heart lay with plants, trees and flowers. Especially flowers and creating flower crowns which she still sported on her head a fairly often.

"Well I enjoy many different things but what I really want... my true hearts goal is to become a Herbologist. I would love to have my own shop someday... that is if I don't share a shop with my older sister.." That idea was still in the forefront of her mind because flowers and perfumes went hand in hand. "What I really love is creating flower crowns, I make them all the time and I've been working at creating my own flower crown bushes. I want to create my own hybrid flowers and plants as well." If she could use her flowers for potions and herbal medicines and other things that would be great as well.

As Rylee spoke, Kassie poured her a cup of tea and placed it on the table next to the plate of cookies. "You are quite welcome. It's nice to have company for tea time." It had been a bit of hard transition for her to move out on the grounds after spending the previous year in the castle. There was far more interaction with the students when she lived closer.

She listened and nodded along as Rylee spoke of herbology and owning a shop. She could already picture the young lady busying about, tending to the flowers and creating beautiful crowns. "That sounds lovely and like you have put a lot of thought into it." She took a sip of tea and gently placed her cup down. "Becoming a herbologist is hard work. There are many years of study, but you have the skills to excel in this field. I've seen you in class and you have great promise." She looked right at Rylee and gave her a grin. "More importantly, you must listen to what your heart is telling you. You must always follow your heart. If this is what you want to work towards, I would love to help you achieve your goals."

Knowing the tea would be very hot yet, Rylee left the cup on the table for the time being, opting to taste a cookie first. "Do you normally have tea in here each day?" Perhaps whenever she wasn't busy she could stop in and they could enjoy a cup together while talking about plants. Carefully breaking the cookie in half she took a bite making sure to chew and swallow before speaking. "These are really yummy, did you bake them yourself?" Nice and soft just how a cookie should be.

Rylee smiled brightly nodding her head. "I have. I've always loved tending to flowers and plants. And creating flower crowns was something my sister had shown me to do when I was really small and it turned into a passion of mine." So many types of flowers could be used and all the colors and ways flowers could be placed together. It was a beautiful type of artwork. "Thank you, Professor. I have no problem putting in the amount of work that will be needed. The only trouble I'm currently having... besides getting a few of my newer ideas to work", she paused giggling a little, "is that I'm not entirely sure which lessons I should continue with after taking my OWLs. As much as I love taking certain lessons I really don't want to continue putting all my time into ones that I may not need... when I could be really focusing on the ones that I do."
