Closed Escaping the Monkey's

[Rosemarie Chatwin]

Rose couldn't be happier to be outside. Smell the flowers, plants and grass around her and feel the evening breeze in her hair. The slight breeze in the air was making her mind clear. The first thing she wanted to do was to get rid of the heels that were currently kidnapping her feet. When she was done kicking them to the closest tree she continued on foot. ''This is way better'' Rose said while making a little twirl. ''You should join the Wild Patch Club too'' Rose said to Oscar while walking freely on bare feet. Not caring if she stepped on a rock, twig or anything else.

Rose walked over to the Hogwarts Garden and found the little spot she had been growing a honking daffodil in. She had nicked the seed from Olivia's shop. Well she had borrowed it, she had planned to returned one if her daffodil had grown. The daffodil was still growing so it wasn't really honking yet. Rose grabbed her wand from somewhere and illuminated it with a lumos. She had practiced that particular spell, she was horrible at the others but having practiced this one so much she had become proficient at it. ''What do you think?'' Rose grinned while looking at all the plants around her.

After gathering as much candy from the table as his pockets could hold, Oscar followed Rosemarie out of the castle and onto the grounds. He watched her do a twirl and smiled, happy to be spending the rest of the evening with her. He knew that he was going to miss his friend once he'd be home for Christmas, which was why he was so eager to spend so much time with her tonight. Oscar glanced down at the daffodil she'd brought him to. ''That looks good,'' he said, nodding his head and leaning over to get a better look at the plant. ''Did you grow that?'' he asked.

Rose was sure Oscar had no clue that the daffodil was no regular one. He was probably thinking she had brought him to some useless flower. ''Thanks'' Rose said excitingly. ''Its a honking daffodil Oz.'' She hoped he would know what made the flower special. ''Yes'' Rose nodded ''It is a little side project'' Rose wasn't allowed to enter the greenhouse when Professor Carter wasn't there and she didn't want to break his trust. ''Lets go sit together, enjoy the outside and our friendship.'' Rose smiled she liked being surrounded by plants and Oscar only made things better. Rose stretched herself out on the little bit of grass and hoped Oscar would join her. He seemed to have stuffed his pockets full with sweets from the ball so they could survive a bit longer outside.

It wasn't until Rosemarie told him which plant it was that Oscar heard the noise it made. ''Oh yeah, I hear it now,'' he said with a wide smile. He touched one of its yellow leaves gently before leaning in closer to listen to the noise it was making. His father had honking daffodils in his apothecary, but those were making a noise a lot louder than the one in front of him. Had she only planted it recently? After inspecting the honking daffodil for a few more seconds, Oscar joined his friend on the grass and took off his jacket so that he could empty his pockets full of candy and eat them together with Rosemarie. ''So, what are you doing this Christmas? Anything fun planned with the family?''

Rose nodded when the daffodil made a soft sound. It wasn't at full capacity, but it was full in development. When Oscar was sitting next to her she grabbed a piece of chocolate and started to nibble on the corner. ''The usual, presents under the tree eating a feast'' Rose said ''Ignoring Lynn, hugging Thyme the usual'' Rose grinned her Christmases were always weird. ''What are you going to do?'' Rose said to Oscar. ''My family has a bunch of traditions, it can be so annoying'' Rose grinned while eating another bit of her chocolate.
