But the tears hadn't lasted too long: the memory and the feelings it had evoked hadn't been sad, really. It kind of felt like her Grandma's spirit was there amongst the branches, whispering the names of animals and plants both new and familiar to the fourth year. And so the garden had become a comfort to her as the term drew on, leaving her feeling both excited to see what new things it would bring and feeling as though she were right at home.

It had been difficult to navigate at first. Each turning provided a new distraction, and Betony felt she could spend hours in each place. Eventually she'd scratched a crude map out onto parchment, indicating just where she would find each type of garden within the complex. Today she'd followed that to the culinary garden - here were her favourite kinds of plants, those that could be harvested and utilised in recipes and remedies, potions and spells. They were the most exciting kind of plants.

She pulled her hat lower over her braids and turned to a fresh page in her notebook, where she began sketching the plants that were there, copying down the information the labels provided and adding her own notes when she thought of things.

No matter what the temperature was outside, hot or cold, sometimes Ezra just could not handle another minute inside the walls of a house or even a castle. Sometimes he just had too much energy that he needed to get out, and reading a book or doing homework just would not cut it. And running around the corridors was frowned upon. Not that that always stopped him, but still. He'd prefer to do that outside.

And outside he was. The discovery garden was one of the areas he liked best, especially since it was newer. Lots of things to discover and lots of space to walk about and do whatever.

The woodland area was his favorite, but today he had decided to take a different route. A pathway he'd probably taken once or twice before in his wanderings, but there were so many of them he'd forgotten exactly which place it took him.

The Culinary Garden, as it turned out. Cool!

The fourth year wasn't much of a cook, outside of something easy like toast, but it was still interesting to actually see some of the plants that people could use in a meal. And it was even more interesting when he had someone to look at them with.

He'd spotted a familiar someone scribbling in a notebook, and as he approached, he grinned as he realized it was who he thought it was. "Betony, hey!"
