Well, the Enchanted Garden, as the people of the school calls it, was not a place that Ollie thought that he had been at. It is a garden sure but he doesn't even know that it existed until, well, until he had gotten to that place.

The garden did look pretty nice to him. There were flowers everywhere and they were all colorful. Ollie isn't a very colorful person when he's not in the mood for it but there are times when he is pretty colorful. Bright colors does not hurt his eyes, well if they aren't that bright it wouldn't but if it was like a bunch of neon's colors smacked into his face, then that would hurt.

The first year looked around him before he continued on walking. Let's see...he'd been to the lake, this garden, the train [duh, he is sure that everyone has been to the train, even once in their life], and...the shrieking shack is it? and that town, Hogsmeade. And oh yea, he's been to his classes [again. duh.] Besides those places, Ollie hadn't been anywhere else and he knew that he better start exploring around. There is time though, he is sure, for he is only a firstie and he graduates at the seventh year right? That isn't that far now is it?

The Enchanted Garden was one of Vivian's favorite places in the castle. She often went there to think, to clear her head, and to sort out her thoughts. Since Brendan had suddenly up and disappeared, she had a lot to think about.

She wasn't doing so well in school...She had skipped a lot of her classes. Not because she wanted to, but because she was busy with other things. She kept telling herself that she would go to her professors and get makeup assignments, but she never found the time to do that either. It was true that she missed Brendan desperately, but she couldn't spend anymore time crying over him. He had left without saying goodbye, and there was nothing that could change that. Perhaps she was just meant to be alone.

As she walked, her ankle-length white skirt flowed gently around her and she was being incredibly careful as to not step on any rocks or glass since she wasn't wearing any shoes. Her top was a form-fitting light blue tank top that carressed her skin as she moved. Once she reached the garden, she searched for a familiar face. She didn't see anyone she knew, but she did spot a boy that she had seen wandering the grounds a few times. She had never had the pleasure of meeting him, and she decided that it would be a good thing to get her mind off of Brendan. She walked over to him and gave him a small smile once she reached him. "Hi." she said softly, before gently biting her bottom lip.

Ollie looked around him. Hmm...first place he should go to at the garden would be...oh right, there isn't any specific place he could go to since there aren't any 'go here' or 'this is where blah blah blah is' or anything like that. In a way that would be weird since this is a garden not like a park or museum or anything like that. It's just a nice garden were people are just suppose to enjoy their time in,

Is there any one out there? Ollie isn't sure. He saw a couple of students run off somewhere else earlier, but where did they go? It was either they had left the garden or maybe there was some secret entrance to some unknown place somewhere down off. Or maybe not.

As Ollie looked around, a 'hi' from behind him he heard and he turned to see a girl. She was, he guessed maybe a year or two older than him but he was not sure. It's hard to tell at this school because it's like everyone look about the same age; that is the people he had seen so far looks young, like they were between the ages of 14-16. Maybe some were older but Ollie wasn't sure of that.

Ollie looked at the girl and smiled at her, his reply to her 'hi'. He looked at her feet with a puzzled expression on his face. No shoes? and no sweater? Is she feeling alright? Maybe in the garden, people are not allowed to wear shoes? Or is the weather by the garden is good enough so people could just walk in bear feet. Hmm? Maybe Ollie might try that some other time...
