Rose couldn't decide on what she wanted to do as an event. The wild patch looked wonderfully and most things were in bloom. Some of the plants also harbored various fruits and veggies for people to take with them. When she looked at her bed and noticed all the books and notes she had made an idea sprung to her head. She had asked all the members of the Wild Patch Club to take their books and notes so they could study for their exams. It beat studying in the library or in your dorm. She had placed a couple of umbrella's to create shade and on the ground were various amounts of pillows and blankets to sit on.

She had asked the elves to prepare some drinks, since the students could grab most fruits from the plants itself. The elves did make some blueberry muffins and other treats that contained fruit from the patch. ''Hello everyone!'' Rose paused when everyone had arrived. ''This event is simple, we are going to study together for our exams!'' Rose said ''If you are hungry there are plenty of fruits around us and the elves brought drinks and various other snacks and treats'' Rose smiled ''Grab yourself a pillow and enjoy nature and make sure you ace those exams!'' Rose said excitingly while taking a spot herself with Edgar beside her.
 
Zagreus had been surprised to hear that the wild patch meeting would actually have nothing to do with plants. Surprised and just a little disappointed. Though he wasn't going to turn down getting in some extra studying. He really needed to study if he wanted any chance of actually passing his exams and not failing anything. The second year brought as much as he could possibly carry from his dorm room, settling down as he set out everything around him, this time making sure that his notes weren't about to get blown away. He didn't really expect to have anyone else to want to study with him, so Zagreus simply picked up his transfiguration textbook and silently started flicking through it.
 
Rosie had been very excited about the semester's wild patch club, she was therefore very disappointed when it turned out all they'd be doing was studying. She had wanted to do something, but it was winter, and it was difficult to do anything when the weather wasn't great. She hadn't really brought that many books with her, not figuring that she would need them. Rosie glanced about spotting Zag sitting with some book in front of him, but he seemed like he was a little disappointed too. She walked over to him. "Hey, mind if I study with you...I didn't bring any books...,"

Winter, with it's cold wind and bad weather always made Salem feel a little stir crazy, doubly so when exams started up. She knew OWLs were important and she was supposed to care but Salem had yet to be able to really get herself to knuckle down and focus on her classwork. There were just so many other more interesting things she wanted to look at or do or practice over what they'd already covered once in class, even if Salem may or may not have forgotten half of it.

She supposed the Wild Patch throwing a study event should have been the sign she needed to really actually focus now, but Salem was still struggling, shuffling the pages of her half-hearted class notes around in her hand before getting a new idea. She wandered over to the compost heap, glancing around for a moment before quietly poking a few pieces of parchment into the pile of mulch. Glancing around again, Salem set about the task with more vigor, squishing her Charms notes under a pile of mud with a satisfying push.
 
Natalia had been looking forward to the Wild Patch event, as she always enjoyed working with plants and working in the Wild Patch garden. To her surprise, they were told they were going to study instead. Natalia appreciated the extra study time, but it was still slightly disappointing. She had grabbed a few books and was trying to find a comfortable spot for reading. She considered going to sit with Salem but the girl walked away. Natalia watched as she put some parchment into the compost heap. She couldn't help it, she laughed, covering her mouth. She approached Salem. "What are you doing." She whispered, another shocked giggle escaping her.

Renata was a bit frazzled with the arts club events and trying desperately to study for her exams, so she was excited for the Wild Patch club event. She wasn't really much of a green thumb, but she liked plants and flowers at least to look at. She remembered being interested in the meaning of flowers when her mother had told her what a couple of bouquets she'd received from admirers had been (although politely, as some of the meaning was a little inappropriate, if she recalled). Her face fell a little when it was more studying, but she supposed that wasn't the worst thing in the world. She waved at Salem when she arrived, giggling a little as she saw the older girl putting her notes in the compost, before going over to a couple of younger students (grabbing an apple on the way). She recognized Zagreus from Quidditch, at least, but gave a friendly smile to the younger girl as well as her teammate. Renata made herself comfortable near them, looking up at the overcast sky and then over at the other two. "I don't suppose either of you want a tea leaf reading, or something?" Renata gave a shy laugh at that, hoping they knew she wasn't being completely serious. Practicing reading tea leaves would be helpful but she certainly wasn't going to push it on other people. She hadn't really brought any of her books besides the notes she had in her bag in some muggle style folders, which was mostly her Divination notes.

Caleb has been looking forward to the Wild Patch event. He liked getting the chance to get his hands dirty and being outside. The weather had started to turn a bit colder but he still used any excuse he could to get out of the castle. He had arrived and nearly groaned when the leader said they would be studying for exams. That was the last thing he wanted to do. He had come to get away from everyone studying inside. He didn't really care about exams. He would get by and that was good enough for him. But he was already out here so he tried to make the most of it. Caleb grabbed an apple and one of the pillows people were using to sit on. He found an empty spot and laid down, using the pillow for his head and closing his eyes momentarily as he took a bit of his apple and let his arm fall dramatically to the side.
 
Zag was a little surprised to hear a familiar voice as he peeked over to the top of his textbook. He did want to say something about them being told to specifically bring their textbooks with him, but he decided to hold his tongue on the matter. Instead, he just softly nodded his head, nudging a couple of his notes closer to the girl. "If you, um, want to," he wasn't going to turn down the company if someone actually wanted to study with him. Even if it was because she had forgotten her textbooks. And then Renata came over as well and Zag found himself squirming just a little uncomfortably where he was sat. He never really did very well surrounded by a lot of people. But when the older girl started asking if anyone wanted a tea reading, Zag frowned slightly. "How is divination? I mean... telling the future seems a bit..." he trailed off, not really wanting to finish that sentence. Stupid, was how it sounded. Completely fake and dumb. But he didn't want to offend anyone's feelings if they did believe in that kind of thing.

Margo liked spending time around the Wild Patch garden even when it was for a club meeting. It reminded her of home and she liked feeling useful and doing things with her hands. But she also liked the days where they had meetings because it usually meant some kind of activity. Even if she was still to shy to talk to that many people it was still nice to have others around. So she was a little disappointed when she arrived and they were meant to be studying. She had already started going over her notes for exams and was feeling quite confident so far. She had brought a book with her just in case like she normally did but it wasn't a school book. With a sigh she took a seat and opened it to read. She glanced at the garden and wondered if she would get in trouble to if she left to go pull weeds or check for pests. Winter was coming after all and she hoped everything would be safe until they got back.
 
Wish was unhappy that the club meeting wouldn't involve doing anything with plants. She liked having tasks to do, and studying was too self-directed for her to properly pay attention. It was getting colder and that meant soon all the flowers would be too busy sleeping for Wish to take care of them, and then she'd be home for the holidays and it'd be so long before the next term started. She'd brought along her notes from Herbology just so she could fit the routine of doing plant-related things in the club, but only half-heartedly glanced through them. Wish was far more interested in watching an older girl who appeared to be mulching her notes. That seemed to so cool to her, and Wish hadn't even known they were allowed to destroy their work like that, which opened up a whole realm of possibility in her eleven year old brain.
 
Rosie smiled softly at Zag as he said she could share with him, but she hadn't been looking for long when approached by a girl. She looked familiar, not in her year but was maybe on a team or something, something quidditchy which would explain because of Aurora why she maybe knew her. Rosie nodded slightly. "I'd love a tea reading," she replied, she hadn't ever had a tea reading done before and it was going to be nice to get one done. It would be better than revising.

Salem looked up somewhat guiltily when Natalia approached her, pressing her Charms notes under the dirt a little more forcefully. "Uh... Composting?" She offered with a bright smile. "I don't think they were doing me much good so I thought the worms might appreciate them more," she admitted with a shrug, pulling her hand back and trying to vaguely dust off some of the lingering mulch now jammed under her finger nails. "You wanna join me? I have transfig notes to get through too." @Natalia Novak
