Aileen, hi! Tell us, how do you prefer to spend your free time? Imagine: it's a weekend and you're done with all the homework, even Binns' essays! What do you do?

Oh, hello, anon!

I'm afraid that most of my free time is spent in the greenhouses. If I'm not tending to my plants, then I'm reading near them. Sometimes I'll even read aloud to the plants. I read in a muggle book once that speaking to plants helps their growth and how much the plant bears. Most muggle books have not steered me wrong and it does seem my plants and those surrounding them are growing exponentially faster!

Weekly Song

As an update, the exams went well. I will slowly be getting back into regularly posting. However, daily songs will be turned into weekly songs.

Aileen Update

Good day or night, everyone!

With it being the approaching testing season, I will be much busier than I would ordinarily be. Responses may be slower than normal, and some Daily Songs may be missed during this time. Please bear with me during this busy time.

Slipping through the ancient door of the Slytherin common room, Nosy's tiny feet pitter-patter with the triumph of a day well spent. The little Niffler was still feeling very proud of himself. Sebastian surely would be thrilled by the aromatic surprise he had in store for him! The aroma alone could make even the most stoic being weak at the knees.

But wait, who's this? A figure perched on the stone bench caught his attention. A lone wanderer. Nosy tilted his head, trying to recall where he had seen this lass before. But the little Niffler shrugged.

Well, well, well, seems like it's this girl's lucky day, Nosy thought to himself. He decided to grace this lonely girl with his delightful presence! Rummaging through his belly pouch, Nosy retrieved the smelly chunk of cheese once more. 

Ah, the aroma!

Breaking off a crumb of the pungent delight, Nosy inhaled deeply, savouring the scent that tickled his nostrils and set his taste buds tingling. Almost drooling, he stashed the rest of the cheese away, ready to bestow his gift upon the unsuspecting Slytherin. 

With a triumphant honk, Nosy hopped onto the girl's lap and placed the crumb down, chirping at her as if he wanted to say, aren't you a lucky one? This Niffler is feeling particularly generous today!

With a cute wiggle of his bum, Nosy hopped down and waddled towards the stairs, sliding down the railing with a playful gleam in his eye.

The sudden weight in her lap is what draws Aileen's attention first, then the pungent smell coming from the creature sitting there.

"Hello there, little guy," she coos, extending a hand to pet him. She halts upon the creature dropping something tiny next to himself. Before she has a chance to fully acknowledge the offering, the niffler is gone from her lap.

"Thank you?"

Aileen carefully grabs the crumb between forefinger and thumb and brings it to her nose, sniffing. Her face contorts in disgust. Should I...? He left it for me, but he isn't around to see what I do with it...

With a tentative look around the room, she tosses it into her open mouth and swallows the foul cheese. If she doesn't chew, she can't taste it, and yet she gags anyways. She rushes to the washroom to brush her teeth or puke, or both.

(Ooc: both Aileen and Toria have been sharing a lot of music with us. Do you gather their choices in a Spotify playlist somewhere / plan to make one at some point? Just out of curiosity 😊 And just in case, your anons are off for this blog, I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, sorry if it's a rude thing to point out)

(OOC: Oh no! I didn't realize that. I fixed it. Thank you so much for letting me know! As for a playlist, I haven't made one but I may soon 💜)

Let's Talk - Again (OOC)

I want to start this out by apologizing for my immaturity with the OOC tags on one of my recent RP posts. I've since removed those tags as I've realized how rude and inconsiderate I was being of the fandom. It wasn't meant to be that way; I (not Aileen) was doing something I tend to do best, which is overthink. I promise to do better and to not involve personal feelings in this account's posts and RP's, unless it's to set further boundaries (which I hope I won't have to do).

As for any current RP posts that I've made and any I make in the future, I will leave them open for RP and not reblog them with a continuation after a "deadline." I was being too inconsiderate by doing that (even if Toria was badass in that one RP).

On a separate note, I'm thinking of including an "Aileen's hair color" indicator or something similar during RP posts, so as to not have to write out the change constantly. I wouldn't do it for a RP where her hair changes multiple times per post, though.

Aileen jumped when she heard a voice address her. Her cheeks flushed again before she fully registered what the girl had said. Doxy droppings?

Cornflower eyes widen as she quickly grabbed her flats, wincing upon her foot being placed in the uncomfortably wet left shoe. She watched as the water seeped into the rug beneath her foot with a small sigh. "Are they," she paused to gulp nervously, "Are there doxies in the castle?"

Aileen is leaving the Great Hall, having just finished breakfast. She has no plan, really, just that she wishes to take a stroll around the castle grounds. I really need to start getting more exercise in...

So engrossed in her thoughts, she doesn't realize that she's managed to make it to the Black Lake. No, not Black Lake. Great Lake. She couldn't bring herself to consider anything "great" about the Black family, but it was certainly better than uttering their name.

She barely catches herself before marching straight into it, her foot submerging itself into the clear water. Her foot is quickly brought back onto the docks with a panicked yelp. She backs away, a frightened look on her features, and accidentally bumps into someone's chest.

Without looking up, she mutters an apology and rushes away from the person as her hair changes to pink. Her shoe squelches the full walk back to the Slytherin common room, where she hangs it to dry. It's a nice day to stay inside, instead.
