The Aroma of Tea
This is for the Tea Leaves & Animals Errand
Feel free to join and open to interactions!
Lindsey wandered in the courtyard, carelessly. It’s a sunny afternoon and she got nothing to do with. Suddenly some students standing over there got into her sight of view.
They were handling…tea bags?!
To be frank, Lindsey was really a bit shocked to see students taking tea bags in their hands. She thought she was the only one to drink tea with tea bags before——most English people drink tea just using leaves, don’t they?
She walked nearer. After a while, Lindsey understood that a Gryffindor prefect——who had Chinese relatives like herself——was holding an errand now. Students would be making tea bags on their own. Magical ones, of course. It’s said that the bags, which are in the shape of an animal, would move in hot tea.
She saw a blonde girl already finished one——a bird, which tried to fly in the water.
Quite interesting. She thought. Why not give it a try?
Lindsey soon found all the things she needed—— filter paper, scissors, needles and other supplies. The friendly house elves provided “Miss Springhall” these things happily, and she felt…well, a little uncomfortable.
Hmm…so what I need now is to cut the paper and sew them in the shape of an animal? She said to herself.
The hot headed Hufflepuff soon decided to make a badger shape tea bag——without noticing how difficult it would be.
Cut, cut, cut——dear me. Lindsey successfully turned her filter paper into a bunch of rubbish. It’s a mess on her table.
But, if you think the stubborn Lindsey Florence Springhall would give up after this failure, then, you are totally wrong.

Task: Complete Tea Leaves & Animals Errand
Theseus was finally taking a bit of time. To enjoy the grounds beyond the inner walls of the castle. Fresh air and all was important. Though what he did not expect when he found himself outside was a gathering of tea lovers. A sizeable gathering of which caused Theseus to for a moment. Return back and wander himself to the library to continue researching for leisure.
That was up until a familiar face stood out amoungst the group. Theseus focused on the girl whom he had met on the Hogwart's express. She had been sorted into hufflepuff. Which meant she was in a different house then himself though it did not change the fact he still had somewhat of a friendly demeanor towards her. She was a kind entity after all.
Theseus decided he would check into what all the fuss was about. He approached the area students were gathering for supplies at. Then collected his own set of supplies. Before wandering over to where Lindsey had set up her project work space. "So, what's our objective here?" Theseus spoke up to her to try and draw her attention. Deciding their best bet would be to have a meeting of minds. Even if they ended up with different end results. Theseus was confident in the concept that they could help each other reach those end goals.
Plus, further encouragement to his statement. Was the fact Lindsey's first attempt at whatever this tea project was about. Seemed to have resulted in a pile of scraps laying around the table.

Interacting with @Theseus Reneun
Lindsey was busy cutting her piece of paper. Badger…she looked at it. Nope. It’s certainly NOT a badger.
I’ve got to work harder. She thought.
As the young Hufflepuff were struggling, she saw a familiar face among these people.
Theseus Reneun.
Theseus had been sitting in the same compartment with her during their first train ride, and they became friends. However Theseus was sorted into Ravenclaw and they hadn’t much encounters after that.
“Hey Theseus!” she stopped her scissors and waved.
“So, what's our objective here?” He came nearer, and asked.
“I suppose we’ve got to make tea bags——and they’ll move in the hot tea.” Lindsey raised up her filter paper. “It’s pretty difficult——especially for me. I think I’m not that good at the hand making sort of things.” She smiled. “Come and join us! Although it’s difficult, it’s really interesting!”
She continued her work. Why couldn’t I first cut them into small pieces, then sew the pieces together? Lindsey suddenly thought.
She’s quite good at sewing——her grandmother had taught her about that. She was used to use needles to sew things——her mother actually let her to sew a little shirt for their owl Jadis (she didn’t wear it though) when she was ten.
First, two ears; then a large piece for the body; four smaller ones for legs and paws; a head…she cut all the paper successfully.
Now, time for sewing.
Lindsey sewed the pieces together, very quickly. But the whole animal collapsed when she put her new work on the table.
Dear me. Where are the tea leaves?

Theseus was a bit curious. When she stated the tea bags were suppose to move about within the cup once they were completed. While he was intrigued he was not suprised. Many objects acquired animate and borderline sentient properties within the wizarding world. Though he had not been at school long. His father had been a wizard. Naturally as a result Theseus was familiar with the way objects tended to work.
Theseus calmly nodded and set up his little section of the station. He decided upon a cat for his tea bag. It was not necessarily his favorite animal. Though it was one he enjoyed and he had an odd suspicion cats and tea time made a good pairing. Plus, having a mini cat roaming about a tea cup seemed quite amusing to Theseus. He wandered what Lindsey was going to craft with her tea bags. While he got to work cutting. He seemed quite skilled in regards to cutting the general outline of the cat. Though seemed to slow down a little and focus on the details.
Theseus took a break after a bit. To glance over to Lindsey's project. "A badger?" He asked.in curiosity. While he tilted his head some. He wondered her reasoning for a badger. Was it to symbolize her house, or did she had alternative reasons for picking the creature? Was he even right about it being a badger?
It was hard to tell considering that it didn't really want to co-operate for Lindsey in holding it's shape. Well, it was quite obvious why. It was a tea bag, with no tea inside of it. Theseus looked to his project and sighed softly. His own little creature would be facing the same dillema unless steps were taking to prevent that.
Theseus shook his head. He couldn't get ahead of himself. "Give me a moment please." Theseus spoke softly to Lindsey. Before falling back to concentration. While he began to work on the legs and paws. As well as the ears and tail. He then cautiously found a way to implement some whiskers with single fibers of the filter paper. Before making some eyes without making holes.
Theseus got up and stretched. Then wiggled his fingers. Detail work was a pain to deal with. He then focused on Lindsey once more. Giving one of his rare soft smiles. "Let's find ourselves some tea leaves?" He suggested to her.

“A badger?” Theseus asked, curiously.
“Ah, yeah…House pride, I guess! And they’re really cute animals too.” she laughed. “Oh, and how’s your classes so far?” She asked Theseus.
Why asking him this? Lindsey didn’t know. Maybe she just would like to know about how he’s doing. Maybe.
Theseus was making a small, cute cat. “Give me a moment please.” he said, as he worked on the cat’s paws. He’s doing well. Lindsey thought.
She forgot to put some tea leaves in the bag and the bag collapsed. “Oh dear.” She murmured.
“Let's find ourselves some tea leaves?” Theseus suggested.
Lindsey was busy glancing this boy beside her at that time. “Hmm? Oh sure! But let me do it, please!” she then called a house elf near her.
“Hello!” Lindsey said politely as the elf came nearer. “Would you please go and fetch tea leaves from the Hufflepuff girls’ ‘Plant Palace’ dormitory, Lindsey Springhall’s suitcase? It’s easy to find in it.” she said.
Seeing the elf looked at her with uncertainty, Lindsey quickly added. “——and I give you the permission to search in my suitcase.” The elf finally disappeared.
“I’ve got some fabulous tea leaves from my grandmother——she’s a Chinese and she’s excelled at teaism! Hope you like the tea too!” She turned to Theseus.
The elf came back, handing her a small case.
Lindsey opened it, and took out some leaves.
“Green, Black or Jasmine? I have all.” She said, smiling to the boy.

Theseus had nearly forgotten Lindsey's question amidst his concentration on his cat tea bag. Theseus wasn't opposed to arts and crafts unlike some guys he knew. In fact it was a good coping skill to help him maintain his calm demeanor. Though when it registered he looked to Lindsey and nodded his head some. "My classes go well. Thank you for asking. I even try to do studies outside of them when I find the time to do so." He expressed. "More times than not if you need to find me. Just head to the library." Theseus expressed to her. He was content with the concept of aiding Lindsey should she ever need his help with something. Just like he was open to helping their mutual acquaintance Lilith if she felt she needed someone to help her.
Theseus thought a bit as his tea bag slumped void of any mass to support it's shape. It was kind of disheartening seeing his project in such a vulnerable state. Then Lindsey responded to his suggestion of finding tea leaves.
Theseus was initially a bit taken aback. He'd thought the effort should of been a collaborative project. Seeming they both were in need of the tea leaves and it would not be fair for him to have Lindsey put forth all the effort in acquiring them. Up until she called over a house elf and sent the aid to her suitcase. To acquire some of her personal supply of leaves. She turned to Theseus and made the statement.
Theseus tilted his head some. "I do not drink tea too often. Though when I do it is enjoyable." Theseus expressed to her truthfully. When the elf returned she provided him with choices. "I will have some of the Jasmine tea leaves, please." He responded and and patiently waited. Ready to help his little tea bag creature recover from it's sad and slumpy state.

“I do not drink tea too often. Though when I do it is enjoyable.”Theseus explained to her.
“Yeah, I think most British people enjoy drinking coffee——I like tea because my grandmother introduced it to me when I was young.”
“I will have some of the Jasmine tea leaves, please.” Theseus said, after she offered him with different choices.
“Sure! Here you are——” she handed him enough tea leaves (nope, flowers). “Actually I really enjoyed Jasmine tea too——it smells good.” She then took out some herself.
Lindsey carefully cut the threads open. One, two, three…she finally got a small space to put her tea leaves in.
Time for sewing again! She quickly sewed up the paper and it seemed quite well when fulled with tea leaves.
Lindsey put the tea bag into hot water, admiring the little badger jumping up and down.
“Wow you’re doing great!” She leaned over to Theseus, seeing he had done his cat too.
“Hey…would you like to meet up sometimes like…this weekend?” She suddenly asked, a bit shyly.“Maybe…the evening?”
Lindsey didn’t know why she would asked this. Had she been too excited when smelling the hot tea? Anyway, she just felt that she would like to know more about this boy.
She’s peaceful and happy when staying with Theseus, as he had some magic in his body. Lindsey knew nothing about her feelings——she just wanted to be friends with him. Good friends.
As a result, she asked and waited, smelling the aroma of Jasmine tea avariciously.

Theseus was nearly completed with adding his tea leaves. Then sewing up his bag. He stared at his creation for awhile. Quietly contemplating what it would look like in a hot cup right at this moment. What it would do once giving the freedom to move around. Would it acquire some semblence of a personality or would it's actions feel more robotic in nature.. Or like it was bein puppeteered. He finally ended up hearing Lindsey first praise his work. Then soon after she posed a question to him.
Theseus was excited at the prospect of visiting with Lindsey some more. While he interacted with both her and Lilith. He felt it would eventually lead to a good thing. He wasn't certain what that would be. He could definitely see them potentially being good friends. Though he was waiting to see if his faith towards the concept of trusting Lindsey and their mutual acquaintance. Would end up being well placed, or if they would give him a reason to believe they should not be trusted.
Theseus finally turned towards back to his project. Falling silent once more. Then decided all that was left to do. Was hunt down a hot cup of water. Add his cat to it. Then see what the answers to his earlier questions had been. A bit of excitement stirred within him. Both in regards to the pursuit of knowledge. As well as the prospect of the cup of jasmine tea.

She further went on to suggest the evening. Theseus took a moment to consider what he was doing this weekend. While he stared at the creation he made. Then looked to the badger Lindsey had created. "Your creation is impressive." He responded in turn to her. Before he thought a bit about her offer. "Yep, I think that would be nice. I am sorry it just took me so long to stumble upon you after we got sorted into our new houses."“Hey…would you like to meet up sometimes like…this weekend?”

“Yep, I think that would be nice. I am sorry it just took me so long to stumble upon you after we got sorted into our new houses.” Theseus said.
“Oh actually never mind! I’ve having a good time these days and…” Lindsey gave up explaining. “Anyway, let’s meet on Sunday, 7 o’clock in the evening, at…”
She stopped again. Where to meet?
Lindsey thought about this, while looking the badger jumping up and down in her cup.
“Like…the Great Lake? It’s really beautiful seeing the moon and stars in the sky.” She laughed, and drank some tea. “Delicious.” Lindsey murmured.
She had been already regarding Theseus as her friend, and maybe even a sibling. She liked him, just like she liked her brother and cousins——he’s different to them, but is very agreeable.
It’s afternoon, and getting dark.
“Going to rain or something.” Lindsey smiled at Theseus. “But I think we could finish our tea up.” she sat down on the courtyard floor, holding her cup. She raised up her head and looked at the blue sky.
“I really like these sorts of errands! Hope the prefects and professors hold more.” Lindsey laughed. “I think it’s a way to meet friends, no matter old or new.”
She stopped, looked at the boy beside her, and drank the last drop of tea in her cup.
“Then, see you on Sunday, Theseus!” She smiled to the boy.
