Default Badger Burrow: Common Room


(Graphics credit to Charely Potter)

Once past the barrels that guard the entrance and hopefully not smelling of vinegar, Hufflepuff students are immediately welcomed into the bee coloured room adorned with shades of yellow and black and resemblant of a cosy little Badger sett.

The common room still maintains the curved doors and carved mantelpiece of years gone by, a toast to the history of the house in the form of Helga Hufflepuff’s portrait hung above the large fireplace and greeting the students who enter. Plush sofas and honey coloured leather seats lay dotted around the room, sprinkled amongst the light-coloured wooden desks and chairs perfect for studying or completing homework. The occasional copper plant pot hung from the ceiling, a trail of hardy plants spilling over the sides although the responsibility for keeping these alive would fall upon green-fingered students and keen House Elves rather than the new Head of House.

Despite being mostly underground, the room feels to be one of the brightest and sunniest in the castle thanks to the bold colour palette. That wasn’t to say that the common room was absent from any external light for along the top of the lowered ceilings were small arched windows that afforded the students with a view across the grass at the base of the castle, as if the students were a small burrowing animal peeking out from their hiding place.

To one side of the common room, where a former garden used to be, is now a cosy corner. This side of the room also contains the noticeboard where important information pertaining to lessons, extra-curricular activities, and school-wide events will be posted. To the other side are a pair of round doors, one leading to the boys' dormitories and the other to the girls' dormitories. A charm has been cast upon the two badger carvings guarding the doors to ensure that no one shall be entering the wrong side.

Settle in for an evening and get to know your fellow Badgers better.

OOC: This thread is for Hufflepuff students ONLY.

Felicity was lying on her stomach on one of the common room couches, her feet kicking in the air. She had rented a couple books from the library—there was a wealth of knowledge in there, you know? So much history, so many fish. Those were the two kind of books she'd picked out. Right now she was reading one about the history of merpeople, a particularly enticing intersection of her interests.

The pages on this book were remarkably thin, though. She had gotten a paper cut on her pointer finger, put a plaster on it, then got one on her thumb, put a plaster on that. And she somehow got one on her pinky, which she didn't even know how that happen. And soon enough she had one on all of her fingers, two of them just in a preemptive attempt to keep them uncut. And now she was running into a new problem. As she flipped one of the pages she accidentally pulled too hard, tearing it. A drawback of not being able to feel it under her fingers. She whipped out her wand and did a quick "Reparo," mending the page. Until about six pages later, when it happened again.

Nyle trudged back to the common room, his clothes streaked with dirt from his foraging around the grounds and a trail of earth left in his wake. His pouch was full of various plants and samples, and there was a lightness in his step despite the grime on his hands and cheeks. He could feel the pull of the warmth from the common room’s hearth and maybe a quick break in front of it was in order before he sorted through his findings of the day. As he stepped through the door, the smells and warmth of the common room enveloping him like a warm blanket, only to stumble down the steps while he was busy blinking at the sight before him. Felicity, one of the a morning dew on a wildflower older students who had shown him grace at the start of term feast and whenever he passed them in the corridors, was sprawled out on one of the couches, utterly absorbed in a book.

Less so the topic of which she found herself so engrossed in - he had to squint a fair bit from where he stood to make out the merpeople on the cover - but rather seemingly endless battle she seemed to be having with the book itself was what properly caught his attention. "Uh, do you need... help?" he asked, a bit hesitant as he didn’t want to interrupt too much, but he couldn’t ignore all the plasters on her fingers nor the mild annoyance her features wore. "I can... help with paper cuts... if you want?" He held out a few of his plants - most of which were presently in an unrecognizable bouquet and squished. "I found some stuff on the grounds... could help with healing, I think. Alleviate some of the sting... at least."

"Reparo," Felicity cast again, fixing the book page back up. She glanced up to the second year as he stumbled. "Hello, Nyle," she said with a smile (ooh, a rhyme!). He was a tad dirty though, wasn't he? He should really be more careful while he was playing outside—but that's something she would scold her sister about, not a classmate.

She blinked at his question, not sure exactly what he meant, but then looked down at her fingers when he clarified. "Ah..." She looked to the plants he was holding out in his hand. She couldn't quite make out what they were. "You think? What are they?" she asked, rather absently, actually. She wasn't wary, per se, but she was wondering. She was the wondering sort, after all.

Nyle’s eyes lit up as he caught the scent of Felicity’s curiosity, and he couldn’t help but launch into his usual rambling excitement when it came to the plants he’d collected. His fingers instinctively fanned out to show off the offerings in his palms better and began twisting his pinky fingers and thumbs around to push each specimen forward as he addressed them.

"Well, uh, this first one here," Nyle said, his pinky pointing to a slender leaf from his pile, "is mistletoe. You probably recognize it as the kind you find near the holidays, but this one’s different. It only grows on certain trees in the highlands, especially oak, and it has this unique healing property in its berries. They’re really good for skin irritation - like if you, you know, get cut by something- paper or...something - and, uh, you can make a poultice with the berries and it helps soothe, um, any inflammation, or so I’ve read in books and heard from mum and dad." He flushed slightly, not-at-all realizing how much he’d said in a single breath, and quickly pointed to another slightly shriveled plant in his palm. "This is a kind of highland thistle. It’s more useful than it looks but its pointy bits hurt about as much as you'd reckon they would! The root can be used to speed up tissue regeneration. I actually think I read that you can use the juice to, well, heal small wounds...like a natural version of salve but with a little more sting in the mix, you know? You don’t want to use too much or it might make the area feel... tingly...too tingly and not in the good tickly sort of way. I think I could mix a little with some of the mistletoe berries and create a solid combo for... minor cuts, bruises, or, uh, paper cuts,” Nyle finished with a small laugh - which sounded a whole lot more like a gasp for air - and glanced down at Felicity’s fingers.

"But, um, this one’s a bit rarer. It’s called glenwood fern, grows only in the damp, shadowy areas of the hills near the lochs," he explained, apparently still not done in spite of a clear lack of oxygen and bright flush to his features. "The leaves, if you squish them, actually emit a sort of... calming, almost numbing sort fragrance. They’re great for healing aches and pains. My mum swears by them, though I’m not sure how much of that’s just family tradition or actual evidence...but she does like to combine the leaves with fresh lavender in the evenings as we are all winding down for bed and especially when any of us are feeling sick or had a particularly tough day," he added with a sheepish shrug and wheeze of a breath. Nyle shifted slightly and finally looked up from the pile in his hands to meet Felicity's pretty features. "And this one - golden moss - it’s actually one of my favorites because it has this really cool property that activates when the sun hits it just right and —" He stopped himself mid-sentence, heaving a breath and his face rivarling a ripe tomato in color. "I think... I think ... it’s all very theoretical, really, and I'm not anything close to a professional...” Nyle finished with a sheepish chuckle and now most certainly avoiding eye contact.

Felicity looked between Nyle and his plants as she listened to his explanation. He was—wow, very passionate. A little too eager? She noticed that he wasn't really...breathing? She was a little concerned, truthfully, but it was also a little funny. He was an endearing little guy, and she admired the love he had for plants—it's the same way she could gush about the details of the First Wizarding War. "You can breathe, Nyle. No need to get everything out in one go, you've gone red," she said with a goodnatured giggle once he finished up.

"If you think that you can whip something up, I'd appreciate it." Felicity wasn't expecting anything impressive, but she wanted to humor him. She knew he'd have fun doing it. "But maybe you should wash up a bit first? At least your hands?" she suggested with a glance over him. "You're a little muddy, pet." She picked that up from her dad—pet—it's what he'd call her, especially when she was younger, and still sometimes to this day. Very common in Ireland, apparently, and she liked the ring it had. It felt like you were talking to a little puppy, which is kind of how she thought of Nyle. Just a sweet little one. Was that bad? She just wanted to give him a little pat on the head.

Nyle blinked, the last remnants of his breathless rambling still caught somewhere between his lungs and his throat. His fingers curled instinctively around the plants in his palm as Felicity giggled at him, the warmth in her tone making his already-red face somehow even warmer. His mouth opened - possibly to insist he was totally breathing - but then she called him pet, and his thoughts splinched completely. “W-what?” he blurted before he could stop himself, blinking rapidly. Pet? That was… well, it was a word. A word he wasn’t sure he’d ever been called before, at least not directly or to his knowledge. He had been called sprout and mothling by mum, bud and mossy by dad, and beebee by his aunties - but never pet. He scrambled to figure out if it was an insult or a joke or something? Was he supposed to respond to that? Pretend like he had a tail to wag? It didn’t seem like she’d meant it in a bad way… but was he supposed to say something back? Would it be weird if he didn’t? “Erm. Thanks, uh… you.” Oh, Circe’s saplings, that was nothing, that was actually worse than saying nothing at all.

He realized he had sort of just been standing there, agape, for an uncomfortably long time - a realization that did not help the urge to ramble, for the record. His hands, still lightly dirt-smudged from his earlier foraging, clenched and unclenched awkwardly around the greenery in his hands as his brain caught up with the rest of her words. Sort of. “Oh! Right! Um, yes, I should-wash up, definitely, that would be… best...uh...house elves likely won' appreciate the dirt trail I trekked in either so I ought to tidy that up too," he stammered, nodding rapidly, as if trying to physically will himself into a composed state. “Uh, and - I can, uh, make something for you, yeah! Of course! It’s—shouldn’t be too hard! Just a little, uh - just a moment and I'll do just that. After I've washed up, of course, so there aren't any contaminants in the cream...”

His words, unfortunately, came out in the same hurried tumble as before, though now distinctly more flustered. And still, his mind kept circling back to pet. Nyle made an abrupt, retreating gesture toward the stairs to his dormitory before he could embarrass himself further. “I’ll—I’ll just—be right back!” he squeaked, practically tripping over his own feet as he made his temporary retreat, pet still ringing in his ears but at least now with a task to focus on that would hopefully recenter him and lower his body temperature back down to something reasonable.

Had he not known that he was muddy? He seemed pretty shocked when she let him know—but there was no way he couldn't have known. I mean, it was all over his hands and face and shoes. Unless he was muddy a lot, so he didn't notice? Well, he did like plants and all, and Felicity had seen him dirtied up after some of his outdoors excursions before...so maybe when he was at home they just...let him be? Since he would get dirty so often? And he's not used to anyone telling him anything about it? What an interesting thing to do. He must have a fairly healthy immune system if that was the case, coming into contact with all the dirty nasty germs so often. To each their own...but maybe it would be good for him to keep himself clean here at school, just so other students wouldn't think badly of him. But Felicity wouldn't let that happen—if anyone complained about it, she'd tell them off and let them know that was his lifestyle choice. And that was alright! Let the lad live the life he wants to lead!

Oh, but the lad was doing that thing where he rambles on and doesn't breathe again. That was really something he should get better about, she wouldn't want to see him passing out in the middle of a conversation. And he was only getting redder, the poor thing. Maybe it was some sort of medical condition? Where you can't breathe while you're talking? Oh, that poor boy. Felicity looked at him with a great deal of sympathy in this moment, fully convinced of this fact that she'd come up with. She was going to respond, saying he probably didn't have to worry much about cleaning up the floor, but he rushed off before she could even say a thing. She looked after him as he scurried into the boys dormitories. "Ah...alright." He must be embarrassed about his condition to hurry off like that! Felicity was going to do everything in her power to make him feel comfortable from here on out. No breathing condition should make someone feel less than!

Nyle practically bolted up the stairs, nearly tripping over his own feet in his haste to escape whatever just happened. Merlin's roots, what was wrong with him? His face was still burning, and he could feel the heat creeping down his neck as he rubbed at his forehead in exasperation - oh, more dirt smudges. Alright. Breathe. Just breathe. It’s fine. Nothing’s weird. You’re overthinking.

…but also, what to the what to the what what what?

Letting out a muffled groan, he threw himself onto his bed, his fingers pressing against his temples in an effort to physically force his brain to settle down. It didn’t work, obviously. He sat up again, raking his fingers through his hair, which - oh, dirt. Right. She was right. He was a walking compost heap. Had he not noticed? He glanced down at his hands, the smudges of earth caked beneath his nails and dusting his knuckles. Okay, well, that’s not all that unusual for himself, but now that she’d said something, it suddenly felt embarrassingly obvious. What if he smelled like a compost heap too?

Muttering to himself, the second year yanked open his trunk and rummaged around for a handkerchief and scampered off to the loo once he found it. Hastily wiping at his face and hands with a bit of water from the sink wasn't enough to entirely erase the feeling of just being plucked from the greenhouse floor, but there were more important things to focus on - Felicity's paper cuts. Afterall, he’d told her he’d make something for them and that meant he had to make something - and that was a far more manageable thought.

With newfound purpose, he grabbed his pouch of plant samples and set to work at his little desk. A tiny bowl, a few murmured incantations, and a quick, practiced movement of his hands had the mistletoe berries crushed into a smooth paste. He pinched off a bit of highland thistle root, careful not to overdo it - he didn’t want her fingers too tingly - and added just a few drops of water until the mixture reached the right consistency. Satisfied with his work, the blond took a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath and exhaled slowly, his hands bracing against the edge of the desk. "Alright. Crisis averted. Just bring her the paste. Act normal. Do not spiral into another rambling mess about botanical properties. Just -"

…just go before you think too much about it again.

Scooping the paste into one of the small tins he kept for salves, Nyle dusted himself off one last time - definitely, probably, cleaner now - and, with only one more deep breath, made his way back down to the common room with Nyle’s Not-So-Tingly, Paper-Cut-Healing, Finger-Soothing Tincture balanced on his palms like a sacred relic. "H-h-hey! So, this...yeah...well...just a little dab of it on your papercuts should...uh...do the trick...mum always applies salves with her pinky but..uh...you don't have to do that but ...um...yeah...anyway! Here you go..." He hesitated, then held the tin out toward Felicity with great reverence.

Felicity had started reading her book again, waiting for Nyle to get back. When he did, she was happy to see he had cleaned himself up a bit. Not completely, but it was the thought that counts! She sat up delightedly and looked at the salve she'd been brought. "Oh, thank you, Nyle," she said with a smile. She took off the bandages around her fingers and dipped her pinky into the salve, then rubbed it together on her fingertips. It tingled a little at first, but it actually did greatly help to soothe her paper cuts. "Wow, Nyle, this salve is wonderful!" she said as she started wrapping the bandages around her fingers again. "I really appreciate it. You could make some good money selling this stuff. You learned all this from your parents?" Felicity thought that was wonderful. Her parents supported her quidditch obsession, but neither of them were big quidditch players themselves. She thought it was great that Nyle had that in common with his parents. Maybe his parents were also constantly rooting around in the dirt, which is why he didn't mind being dirty so much either. Which was a great way to do family bonding!

Nyle practically glowed at her praise, rocking back on his heels in quiet delight - a sapling bathing in ethereal sunlight. His fingers flexed at his sides like they wanted to fidget with something, but instead, he clasped them behind his back to keep from fussing. "Oh! Well - really? I mean, I hoped it would work, but you never quite know until... well, you just don’t know, do you? I mean... I'm a long ways off from being a licensed professional..." He let out a nervous chuckle, watching as she reapplied her bandages with a quiet sort of awe, like he still couldn’t believe something he made was actually helping someone - even if it hadn't been the first time. It was the quiet wonderment that came with seeing orchestrated miracles in action. "I-It’s not perfect, though! I think I could tweak the ratio, maybe add a touch more glenwood fern next time to balance out the - oh, well, never mind, I suppose. Considerations for another time and another set of scratches... but I’m so glad it’s helping!"

The not-so-modest flush continue to creep up his neck and tickle his cheeks, though he hardly noticed now since he was rambling... for better or worst. "Yeah, my mum and dad ... mostly mum, though ... she taught me loads about herbology. She always says plants have personalities, and if you listen long enough, they'll tell you exactly what they need. And, um, sometimes what we need too... She’s a physiatrist at St. Mungo's and works mostly with people who’ve been hurt by Dark magic - like, long-term injuries, lingering curses, that sort of thing. And, well, I know there’s a connection to my grandfather somehow, but no one’s really explained it to me. Just that when he was editor-in-chief at The Daily Prophet, there was some kind of scandal. I don’t know if it’s got anything to do with mum’s work, but it seems…connected, in a way." He thought about doing some of his own research, but he was a little more than a tad afraid of what he might uncover if he went down that rabbit hole - and Nyle was not a fan of small, tight spaces. "Dad's a healer too, but he’s more about, er, fixing people in the moment or dire situations - trauma stuff, emergency cases, lots of quick decisions... he was a front lines healer during the war ...right here at Hogwarts." He paused, thoughts and wonderings causing him to hesitate his explanation - but only because he wasn't the best at chewing gum and walking at the same time. Had that time, battling in the war, been when it had happened? When dad had been...touched? He and Iris hadn't really received any sort of explanation for why...how it had happened in spite of their family bond and combined Sight being what brought him back. Collecting himself on a deep breath, Nyle continued on with another sheepish smile in place. "But, um, yeah, mum's always been the herbologist in the family. She, uh…she knows everything about plants and how they help with healing and taught me floriography. I mostly just absorb what she talks about when she’s brewing or tending to the garden." He rubbed at the back of his neck, smiling shyly. "I suppose I just…kind of picked it up over time."

Realizing he was most certainly rambling again, Nyle coughed lightly and refocused on the tin still in Felicity’s hands. "But, um! Anyway...I’m really glad it helps." He beamed, visibly pleased that his salve was actually doing its job. "And um...what about your parents? Do they..." His mind went positively blank on what to ask, thus standing there with his mouth agape for an uncomfortably long pause. "...read too?"
