At the bottom of the grounds, next to the forest, a hut sat. This is where the gamekeeper lives.  you would useally find the gameskeeper tending the ground, but she would be veyr happy to talk |

Isabella walked down to the gamekeeper's hut to see if there was anything she could do to keep her busy. Sam was off with his friends and she wanted something to do. "Lily Anne?" she called not seeing the gameskeeper at first.

Lily-Anne came from behind the hut at the sound of her name. She saw a young girl, a student standing there, looking at her. She smiled
"Hello, is there anything i can help you with?" She asked walking over to the girl.

"Hello Professor," Isabella said. "I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to help."

"Well your in luck today, as it matters i do need help pulling vegetables out of the ground." She looked around, "Every patch needs the vegetables taken out, except for the over there" She pointed over to the patch of growing carrots by the wall. She smiled at the student

"Okay Professor I'll get started on those straight away," Isabella said walking over to some turnips. She was so glad that she had worn some old jeans and a short tank top. "Urgh!" she said as she pulled one up. "This may take a while," she decided, but she didnt want to use magic.

Lily-Anne watched the student go over to the turnip patch and start to pull some out.
'She lucky if she finishes then without magic by the end of the afternoon, there the hardest to pull out' She thought going over to the strawberrys to start to pull some out.

Isabella frowned and tugged on another turnip. Why are they so tough! she thought. She had done 6 of them already but there was another 20 more to go after this one. Magic sounded so tempting but this was going to be one of those tasks that satisfied the mind, not the wand.

Lily-Anne looked over to Bella after she had pulled up about 10 strawberrys
"She does not look like she wants to do that" She thought
"Do you want any help with those turnips?" She asked

The outside area was so comforting. Amelina closed her eyes, the wind blowing through her jacket. She spotted Bella....it seemed pulling turnips out of the vegetable patch. She smiled softly.
"Hello Professor" She smiled at Lily-Anne. "Is Bella alright?" She asked before walking over to her.
"Hey hun...you must be really unentertained. I don't catch you doing this often" She said, with a light laugh.

"I'm fine Professor," Sabrina replied tugging out the last turnip. She looked down at her hands and groaned, this was going to be so hard to get out from under her nails.
She looked up and saw Amelina standing above her and smiled. "Un-entertained, angry, take your pick," she said sighing. "Let's just say taking out your anger on turnips is quite satisfactory until you realise how much dirt you have on you."

"I'm gathering your doing this for a sort of mind-body-spirit type relaxation, de-stress method." She asked.
"Want some help?" Amelina asked gently. She wouldn't stay if she didn't, she knew what it was like to have people constantly in your space.

"Basically yes," Bella said smiling. "Hearing that your grandfather in Italy is furious with you for joining the Order of the Pheonix when he himself is practically a deatheater, gives you a good reason to destress." She thought for a moment and nodded, "help would be lovely actually. There's only so much dirt a girl can pull up before she wants to kick it. We can pull anything up except for the carrots. Personally I was going to start on the beans." She smiled, "They're alot easier then the turnips that's for sure."

Amelina laughed.
"Oh don't worry. Make him a nice pizza, tell him you won't marry till at least 25 and he'll be fine" She smiled.
"The dirt is nothing, we'll have a make-over after. Fix our nails and all" She smirked and bent down. She frowned wondering whether there was an easier way to get them out. Her wand didn't enter her mind, but she had an idea. She firmly grabbed the plant close to the ground and shook it from side to side. Then gently tugged. The plant came out, with less effort than what Bella seemed to be exerting.

"But.. but..." Bella said pretending to be upset. "I was going to marry Sam tomorrow." She watched Mel's expression for a moment and then laughed, "Don't tell him I said that, I'd worry him." She nodded and smiled, "A make over sounds nice, I had needed to do my nails before this, but now I definitely need to do them." She watched Mel for a second and then frowned. "How did you do that?" I've been tugging on turnips for the past hour. Where were you?!"
