He’d tried placing them on the windowsill, but with one of his dormmates insisting on keeping the curtains drawn anytime he was in, the little saplings were getting moody. Understandably so since, well, plants needed sun. Or at least the illusion of it. But if the saplings did not perk up here then the next obvious location was the greenhouses ― maybe he would have some real upper body strength by the end of the term simply from carrying potter plants all over the place!

The third year padded softly through the Hufflepuff common room, potted plants bundled carefully in his arms and slung in a sling-like sack across his chest and longer, gangly limbs causing him a bit of difficulty in not tripping over his own two feet. A sprig of something temperamental (still unidentified, but awfully reactive to fluctuations in light) kept tickling his chin as he took long, calculated strides across the space. Finally reaching his destination, Nyle gently shouldered open the door to the indoor garden and smiled as he was greeted by the soft chime of enchanted bluebells and the soothing scent of lavender. Nyle breathed in slowly and let the peace envelope him like a warm embrace.

He passed a planter of forget-me-nots in riotous bloom and made his way to an empty workbench, setting down his collection of mismatched pots. One by one, he angled them toward the charmed light fixtures in the glass wall, already watching some of the saplings perk up like sleepy children recognizing their favorite lullaby.

He paused to check on the Skeleton Flower he’d brought back at the end of last term on his way to setting down the pots, taking a moment to smile and whisper a quick encouragement under his breath to the translucent beauty. "Sorry about the dorm," he whispered down to the little notes of green. "I really didn't mean to cause you distress and ought to have just brought you here right after the feast. You’ve got room. You’ve got light. You’ve got plenty of floral company." One of the nearby ferns swayed gently in response. He didn’t question whether it was the breeze or something more.

Enchanted lighting was starting to thread color through some of the stained glass decorations (including a windchime he had made last term), the colors bening through in a soft rainbow, dappling across the pots and soil and the backs of Nyle’s hands. It was peaceful here, so much that (considering just how early it still was) he was tempted to curl up and take a nap over by the lavender and mint. So, er, upon depositing his potted friends, Nyle removed his outer robe to use as a makeshift blanket and lay down on his back with his arms folded across his chest and eyes closed. Not exactly napping but also not not on the verge of napping.

Floral meditation, maybe.

Maybe it was the excitement over being at a new school, but Rory was finding it impossible to sleep. She also was really curious about the indoor garden in the Hufflepuff common room. Would it be similar to what they had at Beauxbatons? Or completely different? Only one way to find out!

Immediately after stepping inside she was hit with the smell of flowers. It was lovely. Lavender and bluebells among other things. Enjoying the aroma, she made her way along all the plants. Until her foot bumped into something.

Blinking, she looked down. There was a boy lying down on the ground. She had completely missed him, but then again she hadn't expected there to be someone lying on the ground.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Were you taking a nap?" Fortunately she didn't get him hard with her foot, but still she did feel a little bad.
