WHO Astoria Greengrass & Sirius Black
WHERE & WHEN Outside Frillies, around close.
WHAT Challenge Thread! Astoria is an unhappy gardener around Sirius' place of employment.
RATING tbd!
She didn't know what made her more upset: That Draco and Ginny had drunkenly kissed each other, that it had happened right after she arrived in the village, or that she had been neglecting the plants outside of Frillies and now, here she was, doing late-night plant-trimming outside this place because she was too antsy and emotional to be at home and let Scorpius see her this way.
Astoria had tied her hair back, though it was still spilling over her shoulders as she worked. At first she hadn't liked the idea of being a glorified landscaper, but she was quickly finding that working with her hands like this helped keep her busy, and tired her out enough some days so that sleep came easily. And having to focus on what she was doing kept her from thinking about them.
They weren't married. And Scorpius was an adult who didn't really need lots of help from either of his parents to do basic things like feed himself, dress himself, shower, or pick up after himself. She and Draco weren't even too serious when she had come from, they hadn't even been dating for six months yet, but it had been long enough for her to start feeling real emotions for him.
Right now, those real emotions felt rather stepped on. What made it worse was that Ginny Weasley, her best friend back home and one of her only friends in the village, was the one who had helped step on those feelings.
"Bloody weeds," Astoria cursed under her breath as she wrapped her palm around a particularly stubborn weed and gave it a righteous tug. She wasn't even paying attention to the fact that someone was still inside the building.
