Default Memorial Garden



Space has been made - or has it always been there? - for a brand new garden: a memorial dedicated to those who fell in the Third Wizarding War. The garden is surprisingly quiet, given its location in a busy wizarding London street. It's calm here. Peaceful.

Most likely to immediately draw the eye is a statue in the middle of the garden, at the centre of a small pond. A tall, titanium sculpture of a phoenix stands atop a round plinth; almost two hundred names are engraved here, the names of those who fell during the length of the war, listed in columns and slowly revolving, though the plinth itself is stationary. The sculpture seems to bathe the garden around it in a warm glow, and does so year-round. There are some flashes of colour on the titanium phoenix; many of its feathers are detailed in red and gold, and the astute observer will notice that the number of coloured feathers exactly matches the number of names listed below.

Every year, on the anniversary of the 2104 battle, the phoenix can be seen to cry, shedding tears from sunset on 9th May to sunset on 10th May.

A mosaic-like path winds its way through the grass and under arches, made up of bricks and paving stones of different colours. Spaced around the garden, roughly in each of its corners, are four benches. According to the inscriptions on these benches, each has been provided by a different institution or significant area of wizarding Britain: Hogwarts, St Mungo's, the Ministry of Magic, and Diagon Alley itself. Throughout the garden, a variety of brightly coloured and aromatic flowers, shrubs, young trees, and other plants can be found, with plenty of space still left to be filled.

A good balancing act was definitely what they were. The idea of yin and yang was not something that Drake subscribed to often, and yet when it came to him and his twin he thought perhaps there was some truth to the idea of it. Her structure certainly came in handy for him at times, and he hoped that his fluid nature did vice versa.

She was probably correct that in the long term, the permission part first would go a long way for them. But still, that 1% chance they didn't convince their mother gave him a little bit of anxiety because now that they'd discussed the idea, he really wanted a pet. Would probably fixate on it for days to come. But then again, that obsessive mindset of his could also come in handy while he channeled it to take his sister's route and research enough to have solid arguments for his mother of why they should have a pet. So even if it was a slightly resigned sigh that asked with his acceptance of her plan, it still was acceptance. "I guess you're probably right. We should come up with a solid list of arguments then if we're asking permission first. Maybe we can brainstorm all of the reasons we think Mum might say no and then come up with 1-2 solid arguments for those points?"

Talking about the type was far more fun topic of conversation. And perhaps helpful too if research was going to be done. It'd be better to know exactly what they were asking for before they approached their Mum. "I'm okay with a kneazle then! Especially if we can take it school with us. Having to leave a cruppy at home would be sad... also if we had a pet we had to leave at home, that's just asking Mum to take on more responsibility than us having it." Which sounded like a solid enough reason to immediately veto if one was to ask him.

Gilly was willing to bet galleons on her being more than 'probably correct' about asking for permission. She was quite certain that their mother would give them the green light for a pet (there really was no rationale that the girl could think of for their mother to not be in favour of the idea). And, in the event that she was wrong... well, she wouldn't admit that. It just meant that Plan A wasn't foolproof and that they would need to resort to Plan B. Either way, they'd have a pet at some point.

"Yes, I think that would be the best course of action for us," she agreed, liking the way her brother's brain was working right now. Thinking of reasons why their mother would say no (which she was confident that the woman wouldn't, but she'd play along for fun) and being ready with counterarguments was exactly what she anticipated doing. "Any ideas?" She of course had her own, but she'd open the floor to Drake. This was a group effort, after all, and she could always add on to whatever he said and fill in gaps if necessary.

Internally, the girl was starting to get quite excited about the possibility that they would have a four-legged creature roaming about their home in no time at all. Of course, those emotions were not present on her face. She'd save that for the moment their desire became a reality. "That's definitely one thing we can bring up: we will be responsible and take care of our pet. ... Speaking of, should we go and scout out the kneazles now?"

Plan B was still something that he thought would be a lot worse than if that wasn't just Plan A but.. Gilly WAS usually the more thoughtful one so in this instance, he'd have to just trust in his sister. Which was an easy enough task, considering that was often his default. Besides as long as they got a pet at the end of it, he supposed he wasn't really bothered by what the process ended up being. Normally the saying was it was the journey, not the destination that mattered but that was not his thinking for this example.

Hmm.. Why would their mom say no? "She might try to say that we aren't responsible enough. So I bet if we do extra chores and stay on top of our stuff for like.. a WEEK first she might be more open to easily dismissing that point." And by that, he might have been more so talking to himself. It wasn't his fault making his bed was the most boring of all tasks in existence. "She might also try to say an animal will be destructive because we won't exercise it enough but maybe we could find a list of the best budget friendly toys that could show we'd already thought of how to meet that need?" That did seem more like a cruppy issue than a kneazle but... both still needed attention and play time, right?

At the suggestion of going and looking at the animals, he beamed and nodded, dusting off his hands from touching the dirt earlier and looping his arm through hers. "Let's pick out our pet! Maybe if we also have a list of everything we need, it'll be easy to just show Mum, get the stamp of approval and then go back and get it!" Wasn't that also a show of responsibility? Knowing what was needed?
