The flowers all bowed to her.
"Pleasure love."
"Lovely to meet you."
"Come here often."
"I see you're a flower girl too," it said, bending to look up her skirt.
Daphne felt her cheeks redden as she stepped back, crossing her legs before pointing her wand at the last one and shooting a spell that caused it to catch on fire.
Charles gave a sigh, "Great, you killed my lead vocalist."
With a scowl she threw a broom shaped parcel at him, "Here, it arrived today."
"Finally, you can't believe how much the Captain has been hounding me to get a good quality broom," the black haired Ravenclaw said, as he started to unwrap it before stopping and looking up with a confused expression, "I'm pretty sure I asked for Comet 260."
"They were out," Daphne said in a deadpan voice.
"They were out?" he said skeptically, "All of them?"
"Yes."
"I see… and you decided to get me a-"
"-Nimbus 2000, yes."
Raising an eyebrow Charles continued to speak, "Can I ask why?"
"I heard from Draco that Potter had one. Thought you might need something to even the playing field," she replied trying to look considerate.
"Yes, I'm aware, but you do realize that I'm not exactly made of money, right?"
"Truly a shame, it's 300 Galleons," she said, flipping her hair behind her, "however if you can't pay, I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement."
"Subtle, Princess, very subtle," the tall boy said with a roll of his eyes as he stood up.
She couldn't help but notice just how much taller he was than her as she took a step back.
Charles took out a bag that jingled with coins and handed them to the blonde Slytherin.
"302," he said.
Daphne took the money and weighed it before throwing him a curious look, "Are you sure you're not made of money?"
"Very."
Pocketing the bag, she gave him a long look, "I'm curious to know where you keep getting all of this money?"
"Would you believe me, if I said I found the Founder's long-lost treasure?"
"No."
"Good, then you're smart enough to know I would never tell you willingly," he said, taking a step forward.
Not one to backdown Daphne also took a step forward, "Are you saying you'd tell me if it was unwillingly?"
The Ravenclaw gave a cocky smirk as he pretended to brush some dirt off the blonde's shoulder, "Perhaps?"
"Hmm…" Daphne thought trying to distract herself from the rapidly beating of her heart.
"Anyways, thanks for the broom?" Charles said, stepping back before walking away, leaving her alone in the courtyard.
She released the breath she didn't know she was holding, "He's trouble."
"Aww, look boys, she's blushing," one of the Dandelions muttered.
She didn't look at them as she pointed her want at them.
"H-hey wait-"
"Incendio."

"This doesn't seem that bad," I commented as I trotted through the jungle-like environment.
I was currently in the Plant Dungeon, found near the Herbology classroom.
The dungeon had a level requirement of 15, so I could only enter it recently.
I noticed there weren't a lot of monsters this time. The last one I had encountered was a level 17 Bowtruckle that was 9 feet tall, and that was over 20 minutes ago.
Hearing movement, I looked up and saw something glittery tumble from the treetops.
Bending down to pick it up, I saw that it was actually a miniature spear made of copper only 6 inches long.
Using [Flying] I performed a super jump and reached an overhanging tree branch.
Pulling myself up, I looked around trying to locate the origin of the noise.
"Sqeee-Sqee-"
Three branches up, I spotted something hiding in a cluster of leaves. I climbed up the trunk and made my way like a stealth cat.
As I parted the leaves, I quickly had to duck down as something flew at my face.
It landed on the branch behind me.
[Thorn Spider LV 4
HP: 100
MP: N/A
A common spider found in the Plant Dungeon. It has a strong poison as a result of eating a variety of poisonous insects. It likes hiding in the treetops and eating the occasional gnome. It is weak against fire and magic attacks.]
The spider looked more like a giant tarantula mixed with a thorny seed pod. It was brown in color and was leaking some type of green venom from its fangs.
It stood up trying to make itself look bigger, hissing all the while.
"…Mana Bolt."
The ball of mana hit it, destroying it on contact, leaving behind only a Knut and a fang.
Collecting them, I was about to leave when I heard the bush rustle again.
"Sqeeeee!"
Looking closer I saw what appeared to be a miniature person five inches tall stuck in a giant spider web along with a backpack made of leaves.
[Girl Gnome LV 2
HP: 800/ 1100
MP: 50/50
A race known for their love of nature, these miniature creatures enjoy spending their days basking in the sun's rays and playing. They make their homes in hollowed out trees, just don't expect them to make cookies. They do however make some tasty honey. They are weak against all attacks and are a delicacy to most predators.
Status Effect: Poisoned]
The amount of HP it had was surprising, considering it was only at level 2. It also didn't look anything like the gnomes found outside, which had misshapen potato-like heads and old people's bodies. This gnome looked like a young brunette girl dressed in what looked like a green tunic and a green pointed hat.
I saw how it looked at me in fear when I reached for it, but luckily for it, I was in need of a guide.
Removing it from the giant web, I held it gently in one hand, and noticed that there was a dark patch of skin on her thigh that was leaking some green liquid.
