What a Pretty Flower 2: Let's Eat
Tommy lead the way to the Great Hall. He knew the girl knew the way as well, but the quicker they arrived, the less time she would have to change her mind. Upon arriving, the room was bustling, as always. Tommy found a place at the Slytherin table and asked "So... what will you be getting? I know you said you don't like salad but please consider trying one bite of mine, no not even a bite, how about half of a leaf?" Tommy knew this was his last chance at getting the girl to eat the leaf. He would sneak the leaf out of his pocket, rip it in half, place it on his fork, and feed it to the girl.
Tommy dished up a hefty plate of leaves. He was not super into salads himself, but he had to play the part. He gathered as many leaves from the dishes as he could. He knew some may just be garnishes, but the more the better as the Alihotsy leaf would stand out less among a varied assortment of leaves. Truth be told, most of Tommy's favourite dishes were meat based but sacrifices must be made for the greater good, or so he told himself.
If he kept failing to sneakily share the leaf, Tommy would have to concede and rip the leaf in half in front of the girl, offering her one half as he ate the other. Sure, he could do this at any time, but he thought if he could surprise her, then she would without a doubt become his Herbology mentor. She seemed to care about herbology safety by stopping him from eating the leaf, and could identify the plant.

The walk to the Great Hall seemed to drag a bit. Aleksandra kept her piercing gaze upon the young boy in front of her, her storm-cloud coloured eyes narrowed and menacing.
She did not trust the boy; he seemed to be filled with nothing but trouble. Not only that the young boy held onto a plant that if caught could get him In trouble and quite possibly her and if that were to happen the young girl would give the boy a piece of her mind.
Though the trek from the grounds towards the Great Hall was rather silent, Tommy was in the lead while Aleksandra lingered slightly behind.
The first year girl followed silently behind Tommy, her footsteps gently tapping against the cold marble stone floor.
Her wavy tresses shone even in the dimly lit halls; warm flecks of sunlight peeked through the windows both illuminating her hair and face, painting her gloomy countenance with shades of gold. Her customary black cloak bellowed dramatically behind her with each trudging step she made.
When the duo arrived at the Great Hall, Aleksandra continued to follow Tommy towards the Slytherin Table with calculated steps and a hardened gaze. Seeing as though Tommy hadn’t proved to be the most trustworthy of individuals, the girl would keep a steady eye on him from behind.
Taking a seat across from Tommy, the girl rested her chin atop of the palm of her hand. Her silverish-gray eyes meet his icy blue ones with uninterest and confusion, and slowly found herself drifting to her thoughts.
The young girl leaned forward resting her chin atop of the palm of her hands. Silver gray eyes meeting icy blue ones.
Aleksandra thought quietly to herself. Her mind drifted from reality. As the young girl pondered what the boy in front of her could be plotting. Aleksandra was no idiot especially when it came to plants, but alas when it came to humans and interactions the young girl always seemed to drift from reality and end up lost in her own world.
Unaware of the time that had elapsed midst her musing, Aleksandra spotted Tommy’s lips move but couldn’t follow his words. She removed her head from her hand and stared blankly at the boy:
“I am sorry, what did you say?”
The young girl spoke coolly her feather like tone fluttered gently about drifting sweetly against her Scottish accent.
Aleksandra really couldn’t care less but she also wanted to make sure the boy did not do anything stupid or idiotic. But even Aleksandra knew that would not happen after all most of the first years seemed to be idiotic or at least full of mayhem.
Aleksandra knew better than to let her guard down. Especially sense the young girl was uncertain of Tommy’s motives sure it may seem harmless but the young girl would not put it past the young boy in the slightest.
After all trusting strangers? Would be as crazy as being face to face with a fire breathing dragon. Even the sweetest looking creatures can devour one in a blink of an eye.•───⋅⋆⁺‧₊☽⛦☾₊‧⁺⋆⋅───••───⋅⋆⁺‧₊☽⛦☾₊‧⁺⋆⋅───•

Was the girl mocking him or did they just have a habit of spacing out? Tommy could hear his mother scolding him for spacing out when meeting new people. He would save the girl from the same lecture. Parents think they know everything. Tommy thought while rolling his eyes. Hopefully, the girl did not think he was rolling her eyes at her.
Tommy asked again, "Look did you want to try the salad? It's delicious, it'll help you grow big and strong too!" Toppy pulled out the green and red leaf in one hand and picked up another leaf in his other hand. Tommy missed one crucial thought: who in their right mind would eat a leaf from another child's hand? In his left, the red and green leaf, in his right, a regular spinach leaf.
"Come on just try one, they're amazing" Tommy boasted, slamming one leaf into his mouth, chewing it, pretending to love the flavour and forcing himself to swallow it while holding back his gag reflex. There was only one problem. The spinach leaf remained in his right hand. Tommy had swallowed the wrong plant.
He began to laugh, a small chuckle turned into a hearty belly laugh. Surely, the girl would think he was going insane. Tears began to fill Tommy's eyes. Everything was funnier to him. In fact, he had never found things as funny as they were at this exact moment. "Oh- oh no, wh- what is happening" Tommy choked out in broken words, wheezing from the intense laughter.
His sides began to hurt, "OUCH, OUCH!" It was no use. Tommy could not stop laughing. Was the pain itself funny? Would he be laughing forever? Every laugh hurt more and more. It felt like Tommy was doing a core workout that would never end. His abdominal muscles felt as if they were ripping apart. "Get----" Tommy struggled to talk, the laughter was only getting worse "Hel". Tommy could no longer speak in full sentences. The best he could do was muster a syllable. "Fessor " his cackle filled the Great Hall " Tous". Tommy could no longer see. The tears blinded him and no matter how many times he tried to wipe them, it was no use. An endless waterfall of tears streaming from his eyes, down his cheeks, onto his Slytherin cloak.
"Pl" Tommy could not even beg for help. His fate was in the other girl's hands. Would he be doomed to a life of laughter?

Everything moved quickly. One second the duo sat down and the next the idiotic boy plopped a leaf in his mouth and unfortunately for him it was not the spinach leaf but an Alihotsy leaf.
As the young boy started having an uncontrollable amount of laughter.
Aleksandra quickly stood up scanning the crowd of students trying to locate a professor or anyone in that matter that could be of use or help.
As if by magic Aleksandra noticed a familiar figure. The professor of Herbology who seemed to walk into the Great Hall as if on cue.
Aleksandra hopped out of her seat. Rushing quickly towards Professor Sarai. The young girl sprinted quickly as if the Great hall itself was on fire. Grabbing a hold of the professor’s arm.
Aleksandra glanced behind quickly towards the Slytherin table, her expression full of worry as her brows furrowed together. Glancing quickly back up at the Herbology professor Aleksandra started tugging gently but urgently.
“This bloody idiot ate an Alihotsy plant. You have to do something before he either stops breathing or just dies. I do not want to be framed for murder! I told him not to eat the plant and what did he do! He eats it!”
Aleksandra spoke quickly but clearly as possible as frustration poured out of her soft feathery Scottish tone.
The young girl knew there was not much time to waste but also prepared to beat Tommy into the ground for not heeding her warning.
Not only that the girl was looking like an idiot in front of Professor Toussaint and now she was just livid and ready to pummel a certain Slytherin boy to know end.•───⋅⋆⁺‧₊☽⛦☾₊‧⁺⋆⋅───••───⋅⋆⁺‧₊☽⛦☾₊‧⁺⋆⋅───••☽༻¨:·. ──── ₊☽◯☾₊ ──── .·:¨༺☾•Stats

ᨒ What a Pretty Flower 2: Let's Eat, May 23rd in the Great Hall, Hogwarts ᨒ
Dialogue #828e57
Seldom did the sibylline witch venture far from her den; her home away from Haiti rested in the familiarity of the numinous, verdant greenhouses, therefore presenting the woman with little reason to travel far.
Despite being Hogwarts' newest Herbology Professor for nearly five months, Sarai Toussaint remained an enigmatic woman in an enigmatic place. The redoubtable woman had grown accustomed to the glances of bewilderment and awe from her talk, style, and tranquil yet augurous confidence. Rumour had it that the greenhouses seemingly buzzed with more life than ever before, and some would wonder if it was the plants that captured such interests or the Haitian witch that tended them.
Dusk encompassed Hogwarts, illuminating the castle in golden-hour hues that lined grey cobblestone corridors with flecks of orange; glaring rays of light that would blind Sarai as she sauntered with a silent gait and irksome expression towards the Great Hall. The woman had come for one thing and one thing only: pepper. And perhaps a glimpse of the Great Hall's splendor...
Her breath caught her throat as the woman passed through the opened grand ornate mahogany double doors that revealed four long banquet tables that comprised members from each house. Every glimpse sparked awe in the Professor as though a reward for departing the safety of the brambles and briar. Warmth enveloped her from the crackling fireplace on each side of the hall, hundreds of floating illuminated candlesticks overhead, and a radiant dusk-like sky above. Her gunmetal gaze lingered on the ceiling before her gaze lowered and peeled to the High Table at the end of the hall that seated her fellow colleagues. She'd near the raised table that boasted golden statuettes of owls, her steely gaze locking in on the vial of pepper between chattering adults.
It wasn't until the familiar platinum-haired girl, Aleksandra, would halt the Professor in her tracks. Sarai pursed her lips while seeking understanding through the student's frantic speech; her gunmetal-colored gaze followed Aleks' to the 'bloody idiot' in hysterics. Her nose flared with irritation as the woman approached the Slytherin table:
"Ou bèt de baz..(you basic animal). Come with me," Sarai remarked before snatching the glass pepper bottle from the table and diverting her hardened gaze to Aleksandra before turning to the door, "You too; come."Tags: @Aleksandra FairBairn & @Tommy Patterson
Sarai has left the thread; I will post part 3 in the coming days. Feel free to slightly godmod when your character's exit.
I always knew the wind would blow you back to me one day.

Tommy could barely keep sitting. Every muscle in his body was hurting. Would he ever stop laughing? Anything that could stop this pain would be worth it. He would give anything to stop laughing. On the bright side, if there was one, Aleks was stuck with him in detention. If he could ever talk again, he would do his best to put all the blame on her. Sure, it was his mistake, and he had acquired the plant via a friend, well, his ONLY friend, but Professor Toussaint did not need to know that.
If he could ever speak again, she would hear how Aleks had practically threatened to murder the boy if he did not eat the leaf. A few crocodile tears would help him lie, a skill learned from getting his older brother in trouble for anything and everything. Tommy could see it now. A vision of Aleks getting detention with or without him, bringing someone down with him, would be better than facing any punishment alone (NOTE: This is not a real vision, just what he hopes for the future to be).
Tommy tried to stand, but it was no use. His body was useless. He pleaded with his eyes to Aleks for help. He would be stuck here unless she assisted him in leaving. It was useless to try to talk. He no longer could. Tommy wondered why every time he comes to the Great Hall it ended with students staring at him. If he had a knut for every time this happened he would have two, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice. He had to depend on the girl. The more she helped him, the more guilty he hoped she would look.
What mattered most at this moment was Tommy stopping this never ending laughing.

After Aleksandra successfully somehow caught Professor Toussaints attention. The young platinum blonde haired girl could tell that the Herbology professor seemed to look annoyed. Honestly Aleksandra was too.
After all she had told the idiotic boy not to eat the leaf and of course what did he do? Trying to pull jokes and tricks he ended up eating the leaf. Of course Aleksandra figured that was a sick joke but at the same time felt that the boy deserved this just slightly.
The young girl could feel the hardened glare from the professor sighing softly.
Of course leave it to this other first year to put Aleksandra on Professor Tousaints bad side, not what the young girl wished for.
Giving Tommy an annoyed look she could see the boy pleading eyes as he continued to have his uncontrollable fits of laughter. Sighing in annoyance Aleksandra walked over towards Tommy grabbing the boy's hand and yanking him up out of the seat.
The young girl’s steely gray eyes stared forwards glaring darkly in annoyance and frustration as she continued to move forward dragging the young boy who seemed to really have a hard time at the moment, but why should she care? He did this to himself. He was the idiot that ate a freaking leaf and this is his fault and now he has to face the punishment and unfortunately most likely her as well.
Aleksandra tried to keep up with Professor Toussaint which was slightly difficult if you count that she was partially dragging a hysterical first year behind her.
All Aleksandra wanted was a peaceful evening a peaceful time nothing drastic and that failed miserably once again for the girl.•───⋅⋆⁺‧₊☽⛦☾₊‧⁺⋆⋅───••───⋅⋆⁺‧₊☽⛦☾₊‧⁺⋆⋅───••☽༻¨:·. ──── ₊☽◯☾₊ ──── .·:¨༺☾•Stats
