Default The Domes


A little way off the path between the castle and the lake stand several half-sphere outdoor shelters, known as the domes. Made from a sturdy and clear, charmed material that keeps the temperature inside relatively comfortable, and the air fresh, the main purpose of the domes is a location to hang out, alone or with a few friends. They also serve as impromptu shelters during sudden downpours, cool relief from the summer heat, or a place to warm benumbed fingers and toes during bitingly cold winters. Each is accessible by a simple door made of the same material.

The domes are near to each other, but not clustered too close together. They are completely transparent; those outside can see in, and those inside can see out. Occupied domes will light up - though the light has no obvious source - useful and downright cosy on overcast or gloomy days. The groundskeeper, and any staff member looking out of the windows on this side of the castle, will be able to see the domes if they're lit up after dark, so unless you want to light the 'hey, look at me, I'm out after curfew' beacon, don't even bother coming this way. Better yet, don't break curfew at all.

Each dome contains five comfortable chairs, and can comfortably hold as many students, maybe a couple more if you don't mind a tight squeeze. Try to refrain from seeing how many students can fit inside one of these things at once. Getting a score of kids hopelessly stuck will not have a good outcome for anyone, but it's up to you if you want to test that theory out for yourself.

The pair of Board members that followed the group out the domes made sure to keep a good distance behind, allowing the Transfiguration and Creatures Professors to lead the planting instead. The one nodded at the creatures professor in agreement. "Yes, for now just focus on the grounds." Leave it to a Hufflepuff to want more plants for their dormitory.

The board member did frown in consideration at his cohort when he overheard the whisper from the young Hufflepuff (Daniel) about them helping. "This is your school." Meaning, their job was not to tell them where specifically they should plant them only that they do get planted. Perhaps once specific locations were decided upon, they would help but for now, just oversight of the project.

She couldn’t help but feeling a bit left out when her friend brought up the celebration. She felt her face drop a bit and hoped Remy didn’t notice. “That sounds like a lot of fun. But, no I didn’t get to go.” But She shouldn’t be surprised. Ollie explained everything in her letters about the fight with her dad. Then she was distracted by the mention of curly fries. She heard her stomach growl and her eyes widened. “Oh my.. I’m so sorry.” She felt a tad embarrassed. “Those curly fries just looked so good in my mind.” She chuckled.

Ahh. So had Remy just admitted that they were just friends? She thought from their letters perhaps they were something more. But from Remy’s blush and emphasis on the word friend she figured they weren’t. Ollie leaned over and nudged her with her shoulder. “Lots of hanging out, huh?” She taunted and laughed.
Unfortunately, Remy did not notice Ollie’s face drop when she discussed her summer adventures. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to hang out with Ollie, because she had made many suggestions, but her friend just wasn’t around. “That’s a shame… was it on account of your dad?” Remy was all too familiar with what he was like, and she liked to think they were close enough for Ollie to disclose things with her.

Remy giggled when Ollie’s stomach rumbled. “Did you not have any breakfast?” She patted her robes pockets because she usually had snacks stashed somewhere, but today wasn’t the case. “We should go by the kitchen soon… if you wanna, I could eat.” In a little bit anyway.

Talking about her crushes with anyone was SO EMBARRASSING. Even with her closest friends, she absolutely hated it. If Ollie had a crush herself then she wouldn’t feel so bad. She nudged her right back and blushed some more. “Yeah. I guess.” She moved closer to Ollie to whisper. ”We held hands in DADA the other day.”

She wouldn’t mention that she was completely in love with Atlas. She was also quite partial to an Evan Nam but there was only so much she could discuss in one sitting.

Truthfully, Javier really enjoyed gardening. It was keeping the things ALIVE that he always struggled with. That and gnomes always seemed to get the better of him. Even though he enjoyed planting things and caring for them, it wasn't an ideal use of his time - but he was forcing himself to get down there and help out, even just for a bit. He knew he'd enjoy the greenery once he got down there, and he WAS genuinely curious as to how the grounds looked after his years at school. One thing in life was certain - the Hogwarts grounds would ALWAYS be changing.

"'ello Mia,"
he greeted his colleague with a smile. "Where are we at in the planting process?" he asked, glancing around and trying to assess what else needed to be done. He still wasn't sure he bought the whole 'planting new plants will brighten up your school and your spirits' thing the Board was going for, but he wasn't a bright person to begin with, so perhaps he was just wrong.

Planting around the entrances did seem like a good idea. Ivy was already picturing it in her head, especially how it might all look once the flowers were in full bloom, and it definitely had potential! The domes were already pretty nice, but a few extra flowers here would make them look even more welcoming.

It was still weird that the board members had followed just to hang around and do nothing helpful, but she was trying not focus on them. Just...just focus on the flowers. On how nice it was outside. Anything besides them.

"I'll get started on this one over here." In case anyone wanted to join? Once she'd reached the dome she'd chosen, she set the plants she was levitating down. Yeah, these would look nice around the entrance to this one!

Mia tried not to look at the board members there, just...following, watching, not helping. She wasn't sure if this was normal, this...having people looking over your shoulder, but it was certainly not what she'd grown accustomed to in her line of work. If would take hours to care for creatures if there was someone second-guessing your every move. Kneeling down next to the entrance of one of the domes, she began digging with a trowel. Oh, good, Javier had arrived, too. She smiled at the man, gesturing to the students at work and the domes in general. "We're in the getting it done part of the process," she said with a small chuckle. The students seemed eager to dig and get the plants in the ground, and her fellow professors too!

As she finished digging and settled some of the plants in the hole, she glanced around some more. "Looks good over there, Miss Grimm!" she called encouragingly.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Daniel turned his head to look over at Professor Paszek before nodding his head. Fine, no plant for his nightstand for now. But she didn't say anything about later which meant he still had a chance.

'This is your school'

Daniel frowned at these words because they were wrong. This was not his school he simply studied at it. "Isn't it your idea, though?" he questioned as he noticed Professor Hernandez enter the domes as well. He looked at him for a moment before turning his gaze back at the Board Members and then turned to walk after an older Ravenclaw student (Ivy) he was certain was called....well she had a plant name, didn't she? Very fitting.

"I can help" he announced as he pointed a finger at the plants she had been levitating earlier. "with those. If you want"

It sure got hot when you were just standing around, watching students and professors plant seedlings around the grounds. Glancing at the other, one of the board members rubbed his now sunburned neck before clearing his throat.

"Alright children! I think that's good for now. Well done," he said, trying to give them a nod of encouragement. How many had they planted? Surely enough to brighten up these...dome...things...whatever they were. "You're free to leave now. Thank you for your assistance," he added to the kids before giving a curt nod of thanks to the professors nearby as well.

Dahlia being the wandering explorer that she was had come across the domes very shortly after the term had started. This had quickly became an interest of hers and a nice hideaway despite the simple fact that she was very easy to find. It was a nice comfy, quiet place to relax and read when she was outside but not wanting to be OUTSIDE.

Like this afternoon. Having already helped out with the creatures in the barn and checked on all of her own plants, as well as went for a run.. it was now time for a bit of downtime. Settling down in one of the chairs inside the middle dome, Lia got herself comfortable. She had a few books to choose from and nail polish and all of her bracelet making materials. This was going to be a nice day.

... It was probably going to be remarkably obvious to her how much Evan had zero idea what he was doing. He had been trying to think of the date as a 'no pressure' type of thing, considering they were friends and it didn't seem obvious for either if they were really all that attached, but... the fact remained it was still a date. And it was his first date at that. So nerves were still a thing, and he truly wondered if he could hang out with someone for longer than 45 minutes without feeling like he was boring them to tears.

But he did try to come prepped. He'd spent some time in the kitchens with the elves to make pork buns and korean dumplings, rice cakes, korean sausages and chicken skewers and some twisted donuts for dessert. He'd only realized after packing it all into a picnic basket the elves had helped him charm to keep the food warm - that he wasn't sure if she even liked this type of food. But it was his comfort level of cooking with all the time his halmeoni had spent teaching him and the others how to cook it, and because he'd gone with street food he knew it was things that would be easy to eat in a picnic type setting. So... hopefully that was alright for her.

He'd also brought down some music and borrowed a stereo, knowing she liked to dance so if he was that boring perhaps they could have just filled the time with that. He certainly hoped it was all enough, because no matter what his confusion he still did want Val to have a good time.

Leaving the door open so she could enter when she came down, he set about putting a table cloth and all the foods out on a table, with an origami flower arrangement in the center. He had to pause every so often to cut some of the vines away, but all in all... it looked to be coming together fairly nicely.

Valentina headed down to the domes, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Mostly nervousness, to be honest. She was dressed neatly - pairing her floral dress with a jacket, her hair pulled up in a neat bun ( which was very unusual for her ) and a pair of her favourite sneakers. The blonde wasn't sure how she felt about him yet but she'll find out on this date, hopefully.

Pausing outside the domes, she adjusted her hair a bit before entering. ... um, wowow. She stared for a long moment, amazed at all the effort he had taken. The origami flowers, the food, stereo.. val finally met his gaze, turning slightly pink.

"Hi."

He had JUST managed to lay out the last of the food on the table in neat arrangement, when something caused him to turn his head and he could see Val enter. She looked really pretty, which she often did. It was odd seeing her hair up, but he rather liked the way it was pulled back and showing more of her face. He went to tell her how nice she looked, but he got nervous by the silence.

... Did she not like it? Maybe she was allergic to something he'd put out? He really should have checked with her before. If it was all inedible for her, he certainly had no problem running back to the castle for sandwiches or something.

But then her attention turned to him and she smiled, so he tried to force himself to stop overreacting and smiled back. "Hi. You look really nice. I hope you're hungry?" Because he might have gone overboard in amount...

Of course she liked it!! Valentina was simply shocked that Evan went to so trouble just for her. Well, yes. It was a date but still! And the stereo.. she did wonder if they were going to dance, which only made her feel even more excited.

"Yes, I am. Super hungry." She thought about planting a tiny kiss on his cheek but was suddenly feeling shy - not sure WHY so she decided to take a seat instead, looking at all the food. It was a feast, really. "You look really nice too." She glanced up to meet his gaze with a little smile.

The fact she was hungry was a huge relief for the 15 year old Nam, and he smiled a bit in relief. He was planning on trying to pull out the chair for her to sit so they could get started, but she beat him to it so he just... awkwardly tried to pretend that's not why he had moved to the opposite side of the table from where his seat was. Moving to his own, a bit red, he sat down as well. "I'm glad to hear that! I forgot to ask you before, but I hope you like Korean street food?" And just in case she wasn't familiar with it, he had put out little cards by each dish so she could see exactly what was what.

"Thank you!" He responded to her compliment, having to stop himself from mentioning the fact he'd had his cousins send it to him so he could try to dress at least differently than normal. He hadn't trusted their judgement at first but... he supposed the outcome was fine, and that she didn't seem to think he looked odd helped as well. "Do you want something to drink? I brought down some butterbeer and water and pop." A soft chuckle escaped too, "And I made sure to bring them unopened - so no spiking for any of these." The only way he would be drinking at Hogwarts from now on.

The only way he would be drinking at Hogwarts from now on.
She took off her jacket because it was a little warm inside the domes and dropped it on the back of her seat. She smiled at his question, nodding her head. "Yeah! But, I think I haven't tried a lot of the food you have here.." She read the cards curiously. "Did you actually make all of this?" The blonde glanced up at him with her eyebrows raised.

"I think I'll have a butterbeer, yes." She couldn't help but grin a little at his spiking comment. "I know, yeah.. Evan." She looked down at her hands as she spoke. "I hope you don't feel like you have to do this, you know?? Like.. you feel obligated to because of the great hall incident."

The fact she at least liked this food style was a huge weight off his shoulder, though he certainly hoped she would like the types she'd get to have a chance to try. "Hopefully some of it is to your liking." At the question of if he made it all, his hand came to the back of his neck and he scratched a bit at the skin there. "The elves did a lot of helping me with the prep", which was nice of them too and he'd left them a plate of cookies he'd made alone as well, "but otherwise yes. My grandmother in Korea likes to give us all cooking lessons when we visit her in the summers." A skill he was actually very thankful for.

Hearing she'd like a butterbeer, he handed her one. Her next comment though had him looking down at his lap for a moment too, because maybe in the beginning he did think he needed to but... truthfully, as he'd started all the prep he'd started to really look forward to today. And he did like Val, at least to the extent where he knew he really enjoyed her company. When it came to the idea of relationships, he was beginning to realize that his attraction came from knowing a person - that was exactly what had happened with Dahlia. So spending more time with people was the only way he could ever really know how he felt. So he looked up, and he reached across the table to give her hand a small squeeze.

"I'm here because I want to be. I hope you don't feel like you had any obligation either though." Either from coming, or whatever came after. If they didn't have feelings or any desire to explore something, no hard feelings from his end at all.

WOW, that was so COOL! Val didn't know even a little bit of cooking - and she should learn, to be honest. But, dancing was the only thing she loved to do in her free time. It just made her feel good AND helped her relax when she was stressed with school things. "I'm sure I'll love all of it." She gave him a reassuring smile. The blonde wasn't good at reading other people's emotions but she could tell that he was nervous.. she was too.

Taking a sip of her butterbeer, she finally looked up at Evan. The whole situation was just.. new and different. To go on a date with someone she'd always considered a friend was a little weird but?? She kind of wanted to explore the possibility. Besides, now that she was here, it didn't feel weird in any way at all.

"No of course not. I -" Loooong pause. "Have you ever dated before?"

Truthfully the only reason Evan knew how to do much of anything outside of studying was having taken up interests based on what his family liked to do. He thought it amazing how Valentina had something she was passionate about, that she did because she loved and it was for herself. "I hope, but I won't feel bad if you don't either!" Meaning, he hoped she wouldn't force herself to eat anything she didn't actually want out of politeness or anything like that. The smile was appreciated though, and he returned it as well.

The long pause was noticed and he gave a small chuckle, though he wasn't laughing at her. It was just.. clear this was new in at least different ways for both of them. The question had him flushing a bit, as he shook his head. "Uhh. No. This is my first. I liked someone for a bit but... she had a boyfriend." And he liked him, so that was easy to force himself to back off of. "What about you?" He picked up one of the sets of tongs from the table and offered it to her across the table, so she could grab whatever looked good, before taking a small sip of his water.

Val wasn't the type to eat something just out of politeness - if she didn't want it, she would just say it but honestly?? everything on the table looked great. And the fact that he had spent time making all of it just made her heart feel warm. "Nah, I'm sure I would." She accepted the tongs and grabbed a rice cake for herself. She took a little bite, hoping not to spill any crumbs on her dress - her eyes immediately widening in surprise. "This is so good! I really like it."

"Oh! That must have been tough for you." What about her?? Valentina paused for another few moments. "Um.. I have dated someone but we were second years and I just liked the idea of having a boyfriend, you know?? He was nice but it wasn't anything serious." She decided not to mention the crush on henry because it was embarrassing to say the least.

That certainly would have been a relief to him to know. He was very much the type to force a few bites in social situations where it was necessary to do so. The last thing he'd want to do was offend someone. When she grabbed a rice cake and tried a bite, he couldn't help but grin at her reaction to it, very pleased. "I'm glad you do! It's one of my favorites." He grabbed a different set of tongs, using it to dish himself a pork bun as well before taking a bite.

Chewing his bite gave him time to think, had it been tough? He gave his head a small shake, "It wasn't actually too bad. She's my friend and I was mainly just glad she was happy." A crush he could get over, even if it had taken longer than he would have liked. "That makes sense. Were you and he able to stay friends after you decided to not date?" He took another small bite of his food, only then realizing that he'd made the assumption they had been friends to begin with.

"Yeah?" Valentina looked at him curiously as she took another bite. She swallowed before speaking again, a little smile on her face. "Yeah? What else do you like?" She actually wanted to know more about him. That's what dating is about, right?

"You took it really well. It must have been a little frustrating to have a crush on someone who was with someone else." She considered his question for a moment, setting her rice cake down to adjust her hair. Ugh. How did people even like having their hair up?? Anyway. "Um... yeah, we are still friends. It's Benjee. You know him, yeah? He's ridiculously tall."
