“Hi Sage! Sage is a neat name!”Brookline smiled at the two Hufflepuffs, as one of the Hufflepuffs rose up with a snail in her hand. “Ooh, he’s cute!” She remarked, grinning at Emily as warm air filled her body.


Soon Brookline was brought back to conversation with Sage’s question. “Oh, well, I used to be-what’s the word?-scared? Yeah, scared of rain. Wouldn’t even go outside when it was raining. So, uh-huh, all that info Emily dropped on us, was all new,” She smiled again, her hair sticking to her face. She reached a hand up, and tucked her soaked hair under her ear.

Then Emily sprinted her way to some mushrooms. Oooh, mushrooms! Brookline thought, her stomach growling, she might had ran as well to the mushrooms, if she was 2. Loving mushrooms at the ripe age of two, her taste for mushrooms had slowly fallen since she was 8.

Sage had called out to the Hufflepuff, telling her they might be poisonous. Brookline wrinkled her nose, seeing if she could get a whiff of the white plant. As Emily held out the mushroom, Brookline nodded. “Oh, yes, these are safe. One of the most common ones, if I’m correct? ” Brookline took a short glance at Emily. Knowing about mushrooms, Emily could be a muggleborn or half-blood. The way Brooke knew about mushrooms was her father who eat them like it was meat. Even though the Welsh girl was sorted in Ravenclaw did not mean she was as smart as Emily with muggle herbs and plants!

Grocery stores?.. What the heck is that? Brookline listened to Emily’s vast and large knowledge of mushrooms.

As soon as Emily mentioned how mushrooms were edible, Brookline was gonna nod and say Yeah! They’re good! But Sage made her swallow her words. Crying “EDIBLE?” Sage lost her balance, landing hard on the wet grass. Noticing for the first time, Sage had a prosthetic leg. Brookline gasped.

“Oh! Sage, you alright?” Brookline would of had the same reaction even if Sage didn’t have a prosthetic leg. Reaching a hand out to her, Sage had asked her another question. She brought her hand back to her body, also nervous to answer the question. She didn’t want to work Sage up even more. “Um, well, yes. My father fed them to me when I was younger. I used to love ‘em, but now the mushrooms are just a healthy snack, like a few times a month at home...!”

As she spoke, a large and loud clap of thunder echoed in her ears, ending her words in a gasp. As a new fan she was with rain now, thunder and lighting was not her cup of tear. She sprang backward in a panic and her back collided with a tree. “Oh, damn it!” She muttered.

sorry abt a such late reply, plate’s been full of replies to be done!

ooc note: I had a great time roleplaying with you!

Sage couldn't help but be intrigued by the girls. Eating mushrooms and liking snails was interesting, something Sage would normally run away screaming from. Plus they hadn't made any horrible comments which was amazing.

It's- it's not like I don't like them. It's just that I've never heard of someone eating mushrooms before," she explained in response to Emily's question.

Back home in Kent, Cassie had Sage and Kora eating natural things from the planet. But mushrooms had not been one of those things. Maybe when she was home- and could ever get over the shock that people would eat mushrooms- she could make them in a recipe with Cassie.

A raindrop fell onto Sage's nose. She looked up at the sky which was now a dark gray. She needed to get inside before the storm came.

Brookline went to help her up. Sage grabbed her hand. "Thanks, yeah, I'm good. Grass is just a bit slick." She paused to listen to Brookline's reply to her question. "Oh, that's pretty cool! My step-mum likes for me to eat healthy things, but mushrooms is not one of them!" She laughed, although nothing was really funny.

More raindrops fell. Sage really needed to get inside- her leg wasn't exactly waterproof. Any water damage could ruin her foot or the joints. But she wasn't exactly sure how to tell Emily and Brookline why she needed to get in.

"Um, I'm sorry to do this, but I really need to get in. The rain..." She motioned at her prosthetic. "It'll damage my leg. Maybe we could all meet up again before summer?" she offered, glancing up at the sky. "I'm heading back to the common room so I don't have to worry about my leg! I'll see you two soon, yeah? It was lovely meeting you!"

Sage turned after offering a quick wave. She raced back to the castle, trying not to slip on the grass like she had before.

Sage has left the thread.

The Impending Rainstorm with @Sage Willows and @Brookline Quinn

Emily may not have won Sage over with her mushroom musings but at least she still kept Brookline's attention who examined the mushrooms in Emily's grip. It felt reassuring after seeing Sage's utter disgust at the notion of eating something that's in an abundance of food for vitamins - something that Brookline fondly shared when talking about her own experiences with the unexpectedly controversial plants. And that was all before Emily could rant about the beneficial uses of mushrooms in medicine.

She watched as Brookline helped Sage up after she fell to the ground, beating her to it. Another bout of thunder rumbled above them and the patter of rain upon them slowly began to get heavier. The thunder had sent Brookline colliding with a tree in shock.

"My, my... The weather is really picking up, huh..." Emily mused out loud. While the weather was the least of her concern, it was clear to Sage that she was having none of it. So with a hasty exit, Sage took herself inside away from the grass and the into the shelter of the school building, out of the impending downpour. Though the reason for that was more than understandable as Emily glanced intriguingly at Sage's leg before smiling sweetly.

"Of course... We'll catch up again soon! Now hurry out of the rain before it catches you!" She waved as Sage vanished out of sight. Meanwhile the darkening clouds were edging closer to Brookline and Emily.

"Those are certainly some angry looking clouds..."

Brookline nodded as she helped Sage up and the Hufflepuff started speaking again. “Oh, aw, nice to meet you, too! Bye Sage!” The Welsh Pure-blood raised her hand in a quick wave as Sage quickly set off in pursuit of the warm, dry Castle. Maybe she should go too, the rain still wasn’t her best friend. Maybe it never was, just she just got acquainted with water. Maybe the

Brookline slowly stood up to her full height, rubbing her back. Burns and aches ran up her spine, as she walked back to the spot she was at. She would wake up, feeling that the next morning, and find a bruise on her back. Oh, the wonders of life. Ouch. That hurt like hell, Brookline thought, as she ran a hand through her hair, embarrassed. Why did she have to get so scared? Stupidity, she shook her head and sighed.

Tilting her head back, Brookline looked up to Emily’s description. Those were some angry clouds, alright. Rain pelted down, dripping down the Hogwarts’ students’ backs, and down their robes. Frowning, she plucked a pretty interesting flower, that she thought Peter would like to have, to study and other things Peter hasn’t why. She turned it over, taking it the pretty colors and the weird interesting shape. Turning that frown upside down, Brookline turned to Emily, “That’s for sure, Emily. Should we seek refuge as well? The thunder ’s rolling in pretty quickly. Lighting strikes soon.” The Ravenclaw’d pull her cloak over her poor, soaked hair, hoping the Hufflepuff would get her words.

Retreating Inside with @Sage Willows and @Brookline Quinn

Sage certainly made the right move to head back inside now rather than later. As soon as she left to retreat inside the warm and dry walls of the castle, the rain began to pick up as the clouds got nastily darker. Yet despite it all, Brookline managed to find a small but magnificently beautiful flower at her feet. Even the smallest light can outshine any darkness. Though unfortunately that didn't stop the rain from easing off any time soon. Quite the contrary in fact - it got even heavier.

"Good lord... You're probably right...! Let's skedaddle before we becoming human puddles...!"

She bid a final farewell to her snail buddy who had swiftly moved on further into the patch of grass where Emily last left them. Taking off in the opposite direction, Emily and Brookline began to head back to the castle, pretty much trailing a route almost identical to Sage as the rain chased them back inside.

Perhaps not quite the amount of time she was hoping she could've spent outside but she wasn't about to try and forsake it if it meant she got to get better acquainted with her classmates. She could now say in confidence that she was a lot friendlier with someone from her own House and she could also chalk on up on the Ravenclaw friend list too.

Even though they were still soaked the girls managed to slip back inside the castle where the rain threatened them no longer. Emily stood and watched as the thunderstorm assaulted the grounds in its pelting rain, almost like gunfire from the sky.

She finally turned and after an amicable farewell to Brookline, she headed back to the Hufflepuff Common Room. No doubt Sage was already drying herself off in there - she'll have Emily for company when she trots in looking like she just fell in the ocean!
