| | |  Beehives Behind the Hut
 Set up outside Mr.Kirby's hut directly behind it is a small fenced in area. On the fence hangs a LARGE white suit, and netted hat. Beside it is a small canister that shoots out smoke when the trigger is pulled, and a pair of long tongs. What are these for? Well, Kirby keeps more than grounds. Inside the fence are 2 rows of 4 beekeeping hives.
It turns out the bee population at Hogwarts did not just mysteriously double in number. In here Mr.Kirby will spend his leisure time (when he's not using it to exercise) collecting honey, and tending to many bees. If you wish to help him, you need only ask. Just put on some spare protective gear he's got conveniently lying around, and make sure you're not allergic to bees.
Ooc: You are welcome to RP around the fence and observe the bees. You may NOT enter past the fence unless given permission to, or if the Groundskeeper invites you in. Bees bee serious bees knees yo!

That was the Muggle Studies Professor! "Phina! PHINA! get yer butt over to my Window before you scare the bees any further!" Or at least put on some of the gear he provides. "What has you poking around my Bees?" Because still, she may be stealing his Honey. Did he not hear her?! WHY was he counting down still?! Finally, in what seemed like ages - he recognized her as a colleague not a student! Pocketing her wand, she moved closer to the window so she was in hearing range of the groundskeeper cause apparently the facial hair was crawling into his ears, impairing his hearing. or it was just wax?
"I actually just wanted to see you. I haven't seen you in awhile .... and well, you keep bees?!?" That was curious. OH MERLIN. Her eyes bulged slightly as she got closer to the window and took in his appearance even more clearly. "Are you.... you're ... not okay, are you?" she asked nervously. Perhaps the groundskeeper position WAS cursed even moreso than the runes position.

Perhaps the groundskeeper position WAS cursed even moreso than the runes position. That comment on wanting to see him put a big ol' doofy smile on his face, which instantly turned upside down on his appearance. "I do keep Bees, yes. Have for a few years now. It's a great Hobby. You want a jar? I'll get you a jar."
Phina just had to be direct about his appearence hadn't she? No way to avoid it now. He had been doing so well at it too. "I could be better. My legs are in no shape to move long distances, and I Can barely lift my average 400 pounds. I've been reduced to 250 pounds!..." So no he was not okay, this sudden and rapid aging has ruined his workout routine!..."I'm a Total Wreck!" |

So no he was not okay, this sudden and rapid aging has ruined his workout routine!..."I'm a Total Wreck!" Great hobby? Beekeeping? Well this conversation was proving quite awkward, considering she'd never met anyone interested in keeping an insect that STUNG people. And some people were even allergic to those stings. Not her; well she didn't think so. But still. Dangerous hobby to have around teenagers. "A jar of bees?" she raised an eyebrow skeptically. "No thanks. I'll pass."
Moving on to more pressing matters, however, she frowned at his complaints. Wait - since when was lifting 250 pounds a BAD thing? That was still extraordinary, in her mind. "A wreck? You're acting like you're pregnant or something. And considering your genetics, I believe the possibilities of that are highly unlikely. But if it happens to be true, then I'm fairly sure you could make way more galleons than working here." But that was besides the point. "Anyway, who cares that you can't lift 400 pounds anymore? You are still a wizard, so with magic, you could lift that. And 250 pounds is exceptionally strong. As far as the moving your legs, well, perhaps if you left your hut, you'd not have issues. So pretty please, start now? come for a walk?" She wouldn't laugh. She was sweeter than honey he harvested.

We collect Honey...Do...you...want a Jar...of Honey." Merlin he carried a whole crate of it at the beginning of the year.
FAT! She was calling him Fat now too! "Just because I've put on weight does not give you the right to insult me." He half expected that to come from Cece. "I very well care. There's an Ancient Hawaiian Saying about Hard Work, but I'm to aggravated right now to remember it. Just because we have the use of Magic should not make us lazy. We'd all be Fat if we relied only on that Talent."
Phina would need to change up her game if she felt it was safe enough for him to go outside and put all of his weight onto his aching legs. She had proven to be rather rude, no matter how sweet she claims to be, his Honey was sweeter. So he ignored her offer of a walk and just stared her down. | |
