"Well, I certainly don't think someone should stop you from doing anything you want to do," Alice told her upon hearing her vent her frustrations about other people's—namely, the adults in her life—expectations for what she should and shouldn't have been planning for her life once Hogwarts was no longer in the picture. "I mean, if you like backpacking through places, there's a lot of opportunities to make a living from that. But definitely do what you want to. I know what I enjoy isn't what everyone does. As I said, you'll find your place in the world, but make sure it's the place you want to be." Alice sighed then. "Sorry, I must be rubbish in giving advice."
Laughing lightly, Sami shook her head and took another sip of pumpkin juice. "Your advice isn't rubbish, Alice!" It really wasn't, and, honestly, she would have let Alice know if she had found it to be useless. "And you're right," she added with a grin. "It shouldn't matter what I do, as long as I'm happy, should it?" She had to put herself first, didn't she? At least, that was her perception. "I mean, I'm seventeen. I'm an adult. I've got to be my own person."

[attr="class","eclair-clear"] [attr="class","eclair-wrapper"] [attr="class","eclair-post"] Alice's eyes widened when Sam started to get all passionate about who she was and her goals. What had Alice sparked? The girl seemed so chill before that. Alice just gripped her bottle and let Sam preach to the world before she took a long sip. She swallowed hard before she spoke. [break][break] "Yes... right," she said softly and awkwardly. "Be happy, be healthy, love life... I guess..." She took another sip and then sighed. "I don't want to be the one to dictate what anyone does or doesn't do. Life's too short and chaotic for that. After what happened to my dad... I don't know. Life can really throw your perspective for a loop."

"Yes… right," Alice answered her momentary realization that she didn't have to do anything that her family expected of her if she didn't want to. "Be happy, be healthy, love life… I guess…" Just as quickly, though, Alice's demeanor changed "I don't want to be the one to dictate what anyone does or doesn't do. Life's too short and chaotic for that. After what happened to my dad… I don't know. Life can really throw your perspective for a loop."
Samira's face fell at that. Professor Longbottom had been a good teacher and headmaster, even if his subject was one of the ones that she liked the least of all of them. "I'm sorry about your dad," she nodded to Alice. Although she was genuinely sympathetic, she also felt extremely awkward. It had been a long time since she had actually heard anything about Professor Longbottom's condition, though she didn't want to intrude on Alice's life or make her upset by asking. She swallowed; she got the feeling that he wasn't doing too well. "He's a good man," she added, which was the truth.
"Are you going to bring him back something from the festival?" Sami asked after a moment. She guessed that that was something that Professor Longbottom would have appreciated, given his love for Herbology.

[attr="class","eclair-clear"] [attr="class","eclair-wrapper"] [attr="class","eclair-post"] Alice sighed about her father. It wasn't fair what had happened to him. He was a good man and a great father. Alice had grown up a daddy's girl. She loved her mom as well of course, but her father and her had a special bond. To see the person who her world revolved around be in his condition tore her heart about every time she thought of it. She smiled at Sam saying he was a good man though. [break][break] "Yes, he is a good man," she said. "Just growing up around him... all the memories. Dad has always been unusual, but I think that's why I was so close to him. Two oddballs, father and daughter. I wouldn't have it any other way." She then beamed when Sam asked if she was getting him something. "Why yes, actually. I've been looking for a rare flower for him. You know my father and Herbology." Many who knew Neville Longbottom knew about his love for the subject.

“Yes, he is a good man,” Alice agreed about Professor Longbottom. “Just growing up around him… all the memories,” she continued. Sami nodded her head, realizing how odd it must have been for her to see her father ill. She had never had anything like that happen to either of her parents, and her grandmother was still in good health. “Dad has always been unusual, but I think that's why I was so close to him. Two oddballs, father and daughter. I wouldn't have it any other way.” Sami had never thought of either Alice or her father as particularly odd people, although perhaps Professor Longbottom didn’t make for exactly the textbook Gryffindor. She probably would have considered him to be more of a Hufflepuff, really, but she nodded again. She was glad that Alice was so close to him. Alice smiled at her mention of bringing something back from the festival for him, and Sami had to smile, too. “Why yes, actually,” she explained. “I’ve been looking for a rare flower for him. You know my father and Herbology.” “Yeah,” Sami laughed, still smiling. “There are some vendors here,” she suggested, although she wasn’t sure what all they had available for purchase. “We could see if there’s anything there, maybe?” If there was anywhere to find rare flowers, a flower festival was probably the place. @alice

[attr="class","eclair-clear"] [attr="class","eclair-wrapper"] [attr="class","eclair-post"] Alice smiled when they began their search among the vendors. Given the theme of the festival, she was sure she'd find something rare and beautiful. At first, she saw just average plants, both magical and non-magical. However, she then came upon a booth selling odd plants for odd potions. [break][break] "Oh look!" exclaimed Alice. "I think those are some rare species of Gilly Weed. Dad always loves additions to his Gilly Weed supply. I think those would be perfect!" Alice beamed at her new friend as she looked over them. Buying these for her father made her day as much as seeing Sam and petting the Kneazle.

Sami and Alice went to look at what the vendors had for sale, to see if there was anything there that Alice thought Professor Longbottom would like. At first, the selection looked to be little more than what Hogwarts kept in the Herbology greenhouses, not that Samira was particularly knowledgeable on the subject of magical plants. Still, she kept looking for anything that was unusual enough to make for a possible present.
"Oh look!"
She turned to see what Alice was looking at. There was a vendor at the festival who was selling some more unusual plants, and Alice drew her attention to something that Sami didn't exactly recognize. Alice, though, quickly identified it as some sort of Gillyweed, mentioning that her father loved additions to his Gillyweed supply.
While Sami wasn't sure what anyone needed with a supply of Gillyweed, Herbology also wasn't her forte. Seeing how thrilled Alice was by what she had found, though, she smiled as she looked the plant over. "That's great," she grinned. "And it doesn't look like it's very expensive."

[attr="class","eclair-clear"] [attr="class","eclair-wrapper"] [attr="class","eclair-post"] Alice agreed about the price. It wasn't bad at all for such a rare breed. She knew more dishonest sellers would try to rip someone off in a heartbeat. While Alice's job paid well enough, she made far from a fortune, so deals like this were a big help for her budget. [break][break] "I think I have enough for a good supply. By the way, is there anything you've had your eye on? You've been so nice to spend time with me, and I'd like to show my appreciation." Alice was kind like that, something else she got from her father.

“I think I have enough for a good supply,” Alice noted of the Gillyweed that she had purchased for her father. Being that it wasn’t exactly something that Samira knew much about, herself, she knew that she had to take the older girl’s word for it. Though what Alice said to her next was certainly a surprise. “By the way, is there anything you've had your eye on?” Alice asked her, and it took Sami a second to realize that Alice wasn’t speaking of something else for them to buy for Professor Longbottom. She really meant to purchase something for her. “You've been so nice to spend time with me, and I'd like to show my appreciation.”
Sami, smiling, shook her head. As kind as it was that Alice had offered, she really didn’t need anything. “No, no,” she assured her. “That’s really nice of you, Alice, but I don’t need anything.”
