Sitting and Reading by Sally
Sally didn't know what to do. That jerk, whatever his name was, had seriously struck a cord with her. She hated people liek that, people who were so obvious with there emotions.She sat down on a bench in a random passageway. She had gotten an extra potions book on medical magic from the library, and it really had all sorts of interesting stuff in it. Things like bringing someone in, and getting someone out of a coma. It was weird, in places, but oddly relaxing.
Then she heard footsteps, and a cracking branch. She started, and looked up, almost afraid of who, or what, she might see.\n\n

It's just me! by Flora
Flora had been having a rather aggravating day. First, she'd gone to breakfast late, only to find that there was no food left. Since when had House Elves not been able to make more food?! It wasn't her fault that she'd slept in! ...Well, maybe it was, but still! They should've waited for her.Then, when she'd thought that things were going to turn up, she'd crashed her broom. Fantastic, now wasn't it? So now it was broken. She had to get it fixed... somehow. Oh, it was all so frustrating!
So she was looking for something to make her day better, when she'd decided to take a walk through the Gardens. And who else had she seen but Sally Porter? Grinning, Flora took a seat next to her. "Rough day?" She said with a comforting smile, brushing her own hair out of her eyes and taking off her outer robe. It had been mighty hot recently, and she needed to relax a bit. "I hope it's been better than mine."\n\n

Re: It's just me! by Sally
Sally looked bemused. "They made us fly, when there is nothing I hate worse than heights. I can't even climb bleachers, it's so bad. Than, I got into a fight with some pureblood guy, which brings my total number of enemies up to three." Then she saw that Flora looked worse than she did."Are you okay, or did you have a day like mine?" She asked kindly.\n\n

Not so good, no... by Flora
Flora felt a bit of sympathy for her friend, offering her a heartfelt smile. "Sorry, that sounds terrible," she said rather angrily as she thought of the 'fight with some pureblood guy.' "I'm sure there's people out there that hate me now for my clumsiness." She said this with a laugh, trying to lighten the mood."My day was... iffy," Flora decided, shrugging. "I'm starved for food because I woke up late, and... I kind of crashed my broom. My dad's going to hate me for that."
Their family was of Muggle descent as well, so Flora's father had only guessed what sort of broomstick to get the girl for her birthday, which had been only the previous month. Oh, and she'd only gotten to fly with it a mere four times! "But it's okay. What started the fight?"\n\n

Re: Not so good, no... by Sally
Sally winced as she heard her friend's tale. That must have been painful, both to self and confidence."Well, he was doing the whole superiority thing, and I went and told him that he shouldn't. He didn't like that. That was all.
"So, what do you think of our beautiful gardens?" she swept out a hand along the hedges. "I think that they're great, except for taht warning about animals."\n\n

That's an entrance cue if ever I heard one by Simon
Just then, presupposing of course that they weren't deaf or lost completely in their own little world, the two girls heard the sound of something large and heavy moving slowly among the hedges. Some birds took off chirping in warning to their flockmates, and the hedge beside them began to rustle ominously.The large heavy thing sounded to have stopped moving, but shaking of the hedge only intensified, finally culminating in a loud crashing sound, some hedge leaves fluttering to the ground, what looked to be a small wheel rolling out of the hedge, and a disembodied voice cursing.
"Stupid bloody defective wagon!" the same male voice finished. Then a hand appeared through the hedge and started feeling around on the ground not five inches from one of the girls. "Get back here, you cheap rotten piece of rubber."\n\n

Um... by Sally
Sally shrieked. She wasn't used to disembodied hands, or disembodied anythings, really.Then she figured that it must be the groundskeeper, or an elf, or someone like that. "Excuse me, Sir," she began. "Do you need some help?"

need some wheels by Simon
The hand jumped at the same time that the hedge shook again and the voice exclaimed, "Shi-ot!" There was some more muttering, neither loud nor enunciated enough to really make out. Then the hand disappeared back into the hedge.A few seconds passed, then the hedge above where the hand had been began to turn into a . . . door. When the transformation was complete, it opened to reveal a man of twenty-five years with sandy blond hair that fell to halfway between his chin and his shoulder. He wore a torn and grass-stained t-shirt that proclaimed, "Trix are for Kids, Silly Rabbit" and both his face and arms were dotted with small scratches as if he had recently fallen into a hedge. Which he had. Twice.
Beyond him, through the door in the hedge, the girls would be able to see a red wagon of the sort muggle children used half-filled with dark soil. More of the soil was spilled all over the path on the other side of the hedge and by the unnatural tilt of the wagon, it was clearly missing a wheel.
The man looked around on the ground, missed seeing the wheel that had rolled passed the two girls earlier, and said, "Sorry for the swearing, didn't realize you girls were over here. Did you see a wheel about this big," he held his hands in a circle to approximate the size, "black fake rubber outside, cheap red plastic hubcap?"\n\n

Re: need some wheels by Sally
Sally bent down, and picked up the wheel that had landed by her feet. "Here you go." she replied, handing it to the man.He looked unusual for a professor, and didn't look like a elf, so he had to be the groundskeeper. But something about his appearance struck Sally as familiar. Not him, daresay, but an aura of sorts.
"Wait," she suddenly said. She recognized it. "Were you ever involved in theatrical stuff? You almost look like a theatre geek."\n\n
