There are benches and cozy nooks scattered about to rest and spend time with friends. The flowers were all grown with love by the Herbology Club, with help from a few local nymphs (under Professor Aza's guidance!) Everything was set up to provide the most color and enjoyment for everyone that walks through the greenery.

Mea was waiting eagerly in the midst of the flowers. He had been working tirelessly on setting everything up for the past couple days, and now it was time to see it all blossom. He had already made a flower crown for himself and one for Aina, who he was waiting on. He was excited have one more big event with his girlfriend before he graduated. It made it extra special that it was his and Mika's dedicated ideas. From her desire for a fancy tea party to his excitement to show off flowers and cooking, the two spent a lot of time designing the event. Thankfully, the prefects and various Heulwen-Abrams family members were eager to help too. As he waited for is girlfriend to arrive, Mea watched a butterfly circle around as it looked for the perfect flower.

 Jo felt weird. It had nothing to do with the party; it just happened to be the thing that gave her all sorts of realizations. She was graduating, what seemed like, any day now. The worst part was, she didn't really know what she was doing. Of course, Arcana Mysticka had grand plans, but the idea of playing quidditch was still in her mind. In fact, after the last game, she may or may not have spoken to a recruiter of a certain team. If she could figure out how to manage both, she'd do it in a heartbeat. Of course, then there was the chance that nothing would come from either option and she'd be jobless and poor. Sure, she could probably get a job with the Ministry easy enough, but the idea of working at a desk for the rest of her life was depressing to say the least. There was always the option of magical law enforcement, but that was depressing in its own way.
Jo did her best to put the thoughts from her mind. It wouldn't get her anywhere right now, and besides, she was at a party. She may as well enjoy it. It was a lovely day, and all the flowers were beautiful. She'd deal with being an adult later. Right now, she was going to sit in the gardens and take it all in. Make memories of Hogwarts before she left.

xxxx☀ Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Garden Tea Party
xxxxx☼ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? Everything is beautiful
Aina was looking forward to the spring tea party event because it sounded quite fun, but also she wasn't because it would be the last event that she got to attend with her boyfriend when they were both students. Next year, she'd be here alone and most of the people who understood BSL would be gone. She was looking forward to a very quiet year with little communication. But for now she was going to enjoy the time with her boyfriend and not focus on her very sad outlook for next year. Aina had asked her cousin for tips about how to dress, since she wanted to look pretty around all the flowers. Alice had said that her normal style was pretty, but after some insistence from Aina, Alice had helped her pick out a nice dress and accompanying shawl. She also wore sensible flats and a butterfly necklace she borrowed from her mum. Aina felt out of place in a dress, but at least she thought she looked pretty and she hoped that Meallan also thought so. He'd put a lot of effort into this party and she wanted to make sure he enjoyed it. Walking down the Garden's Flower Path, she spotted him waiting. Smile on her face, she walked up to him and wrapped him in a tight hug, placing a soft kiss up his cheek. "Hello, my prince," she signed, a rosy blush coloring her cheeks.

xxxxxꕥ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? Everything turned out so well! Waiting for Aina to show, Mea was able to look around and see everyone else exploring the gardens. It was really cool to see everyone enjoying the fruits of their labor. He bounced on his toes, ever excited to see his girlfriend. Especially after how much he'd told her about their plans, he was eager to see her reaction. He grinned brightly when Aina walked over with a big smile on her face. He happily reciprocated her hug, his cheeks blushing a bit when she kissed his cheek. "Good afternoon, my flower," he signed back, kissing her nose. "And speaking of flowers, I made you something." He pulled out a handmade flower crown, one he'd made just for her. He gently set it atop her head, smiling happily once it was in place. "I thought the color would make your beautiful eyes sparkle." Then again, he figured Aina was the most beautiful girl every day, not just with flowers.

Every time that Meallan called her his flower, it brought another blush to her cheeks, same as it had the first time he'd called her that. She liked the pet name, even though she wasn't as interested in flowers as her boyfriend. That's what made it that much better, since he was calling her his flower. And speaking of flowers, he produced a beautifully made flower crown and placed it atop her head. He said he thought it would make her beautiful eyes sparkle and another wave of blush colored her cheeks. She leaned in and kissed him softly upon the lips. "You make me feel like a princess," she signed, the blush lingering on her cheeks. Until Mea had asked her to be his girlfriend, Aina hadn't thought too much about love and she never thought she'd experience true romantic love like this. He had been the one to show her what true romantic love felt like. "Come on my beloved, show me around everything you set up," she signed, holding out her hand for him to take.

Once he'd presented Aina with the flower crown, Meallan was delighted when she seemed happy to have it. They shared a gentle kiss before she said that he made her feel like a princess. His freckled cheeks blushed, the teen very happy in that moment. "You deserve everything that makes you feel like royalty." He placed another gentle kiss on her lips, glad that she was able to feel like a princess around him. He hoped he was able to always make her feel like a perfect princess. After a moment, she signed again, this time asking him to show her everything he'd set up/ That caused him to light up with excitement. "Yes! Absolutely! Come along with me!" His hands were a bit shaky with excitement, the teen looking every bit as eager as he felt. He took her hand, placing a gentle kiss on her knuckles. He walked along the path and pointed out various flowers, before getting to a specific section. One section of flowers were buttercups, in a deep purple and soft pink, formed a heart in shape. Inside the heart were the letters "A+M" in a vivid yellow of the same flowers. Green eyes looked over at Aina, the boy practically vibrating with excitement about his surprise.

 Isolde 'Izzy' Crowe
Slytherin │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Single
The grounds behind the castle had been transformed into something almost dreamlike.
The Herbology Club, working alongside a handful of local nymphs, had turned the wide lawn into a living tapestry of colour. Soft banks of flowers spilled over the edges of the winding paths in cascading waves — deep violet delphiniums standing tall beside frothy white peonies, sunny yellow buttercups scattered through the grass, and clusters of pale pink roses that climbed the temporary wooden arches.
Low-growing bluebells carpeted the ground in places, while fragrant stocks and sweet peas sent soft clouds of perfume into the warm late-afternoon air. Floating lanterns drifted lazily overhead, casting gentle golden light even though the sun was still up, and soft music floated from somewhere near the big willow tree.
Izzy hovered at the quieter edge of it all, trying to make herself as unobtrusive as possible.
She wore her usual clothes: the midi-length pleated grey school skirt, her white blouse with the top button undone, and the oversized boy’s black jumper with the silver raven painted on the front. Her mid-back dark brown hair was tied back in a messy braid.
Compared to the other girls drifting past in pretty summer dresses, embroidered robes, and delicate jewelry from proper Wizard families, she felt hopelessly plain.
She caught sight of one of the Head Students, Rey’s brother, or so she’d been told, and somebody she was sure she had no business ever addressing directly. His date was wearing a dress Izzy reckoned was worth more than everything she had in the world, and she immediately felt as though she had turned up at a wedding wearing her pyjamas.
‘I helped set half of this up,’ she thought, watching a group of older students laugh near a cascade of white blossoms. ‘Art Club banners, Culinary Club treats … and I still feel like I don’t belong here.’
She had spent the better part of yesterday afternoon in the Student Kitchens with Rey, helping make trays of delicate little cakes, shortbread, and tiny fruit tarts for the party.
Rey had looked properly knackered — dark circles under her eyes, hair pulled back in a messy bun, moving a bit slower than usual. Between helping Mea and Ami get everything ready for the tea party, her own classes, and drowning in NEWT revision, the Irish seventh-year looked like she hadn’t slept properly in days.
‘Poor Rey,’ Izzy thought, a familiar knot of worry twisting in her chest. ‘She’s always looking after everyone else; suppose that’s what Prefects do. Hope she’s managed a bit of rest today … though I doubt it.’
Izzy drifted slowly along the flower beds, pretending to study the blooms while her eyes scanned the crowd for familiar faces. She knew there were treats somewhere — she’d helped make them, after all — but she hadn’t spotted the table yet. The party was bigger than she’d expected, full of floating lanterns, soft music, and clusters of students chatting and laughing.
‘Where’ve they put the food table?’ she wondered, glancing around. ‘I could do with a bit of that shortbread we made. Something to do with me hands while I look for Cici or Rey …’
A soft breeze stirred the blossoms, sending a few petals drifting down around her. Izzy caught one without thinking and turned it between her fingers, the pale pink of a rose petal soft against her skin.
‘It’s a beautiful day,’ she admitted to herself. ‘Warm. Pretty. At least it’s an excuse to get out of the castle for a bit. Better than sitting in the dorm listening to everyone talk about their summer plans.’
The thought of summer made her stomach twist sharply, and final exams were only a week or two away. Exams she wasn’t so concerned about; she reckoned she was clever enough to do well on them. She wasn’t worried she’d do so poorly that they’d reconsider having her in classes; no, it was the day of the Leaving Feast, when exams were finished. After that, the castle would empty out; even teachers and House Elves had other places to be. They wouldn’t let her stay here — there’d be no one left. She’d have to go back to Wool’s.
‘And what if no one collects me at King’s Cross?’ the old fear rose cold and familiar: that she would be forgotten about and have to make her own way. ‘What if I get dumped on the platform and have to walk all the way back to the orphanage on me own? What if everyone’s been adopted out while I’ve been here and I’m the only one left? Just me and the empty beds and that long, quiet summer with no one to talk to…’
She swallowed hard and forced herself to keep walking, fingers still absently turning the petal. Izzy knew the truth: after a while they’d stop keeping up the fiction of bothering to look for anyone to take her off their hands. After three foster homes, after the Hendersons, she was damaged goods, unwanted and unneeded.
‘Don’t start crying in the middle of a garden party, you muppet. You’re supposed to be enjoying yourself. Look at the flowers. Pretend you know what they’re called. Keep your head down and try not to look like a complete outsider.’
Izzy paused beside a cluster of tall white flowers that smelled faintly of vanilla and something sweeter she couldn’t name. She glanced around again, hoping — really hoping — to spot one of her friends. The party felt too bright, too full of people who seemed to know exactly where they belonged.
‘Just for a little while,’ she told herself quietly. ‘Just let me find someone so I don’t have to stand here looking like a spare part. And when summer comes … well. I’ll figure it out. I always do. Even if it’s lonely, even if it hurts.’
She tucked the fallen petal carefully into the pocket of her jumper, next to the warm silver weight of her mother’s repaired locket and kept moving slowly along the edge of the garden, still searching for a familiar face — and the treats table.
OOC: Open for Interaction  "The horses on the cobbled stones go by, think I'll get one, one fine day
And ride into the countryside and very far away
But now as the daylight disappears, I best find a place to sleep
Think I'll slip into the bell tower, In the church just down the street
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home
Maybe I can find a home I can call my own"

Aina grinned widely when he said that she deserved to feel like royalty, then happily kissed him back when he leaning in. He treated her so well and she was forever thankful to have a boyfriend like him. When they were ready to walk around, Meallan was practically vibrating with excitement. She was happy that he was so excited, but she was also quite curious about why he was that excited. Another soft grin crossed her lips when he took her hand and kissed it. She was quite happy to walk the path and see all the displays that the Herbology club had cooked up. He seemed quite excited when he got to a specific display, and Aina quickly figured out why. They were her favorite flowers, and they were in the shape of a heart with their initials in the middle. A sound escaped from her and she smiled widely. Her hands came up to her mouth and then she threw her arms around him. "I love you," she said out loud. Then she signed, "This is such a beautiful display Mea. I don't know what else to say."

xxꕥ Wʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I? The Gardens - Flower Path
xxxꕥ Wʜᴏ Is Wɪᴛʜ Mᴇ? Aina!
xxxxꕥ Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Garden Tea Party Event
xxxxxꕥ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? I'm so glad it all worked!
As they walked along the flower-covered paths, Mea was very excited to show all the flowers to Aina. He signed the names for the lesser known blooms, occasionally pausing to explain how they grew and what care they had to take to let them bloom. It wasn't until they got to his special centerpiece that he turned to face her in full. He was very, very excited to see her reaction. When she wrapped him in a hug, he squeezed back, his heart skipping a beat when she said she loved him... out loud! It wasn't often she spoke, but every time it did, it made him feel so happy. "I love you too, my flower." He watched her sign that it was a beautiful display, and that she didn't know what else to say. "You don't have to say anything," he signed, a smile on his lips that caused his dimples to show. "I'm just happy to see you smile. And also that everything grew perfectly! I was really nervous that I mixed up some of those seedlings!" He laughed at that, having had to keep track of about a million seeds for today. He gently lifted her hands, placing a soft kiss on each of them before offering a loving grin.
