Surprise Date || Andromeda roll out, Sirius, Benjy
After Andromeda and Sirius left the library, Andy began to plan the surprise date for Benjy. She was actually rather excited. It was something that would get her mind off of things, something she'd been needing to do for a while. Planning this date would be fun. She knew a little clearing that was near the gardens. It was a surrounded by trees, and completely private. She'd stumbled upon it in her fourth year.
First, Andromeda rushed down to the kitchens, asking for a large basket with a wide assortment of foods and beverages. Thanking the house elves several times, the Slytherin walked out with a heavy basket that seemed to weight more than she did. Groaning, she lugged it out to the secret place and set it on the ground. She cast a few spells to make sure the food wouldn't be spoiled or touched by animals or anything, then ran back into the castle to grab lots of blankets. She found three fluffy blankets and several pillows. Andy brought it out to the clearing, just throwing it there for now.
Next, she conjured some candles, picked a ton of flowers, and then made her way to the clearing. She threw out a blanket on the ground and then set the basket of food in the center. She then placed the other two blankets and the pillows in a neat pile on the side. She then set candles around the clearing. It lined up the whole place and there was a little candle path to lead him. Deciding to light them up last, she began to arrange flowers all over the place. There was one large bouquet sitting on top of the basket and then some petals scattered around the large blanket.
Andromeda stood in a spot, inspecting the place. Something was missing... Ah. She strew some lights on the trees surrounding the clearing. Stepping back, she smiled as she looked out in the clearing. It was a very small space, but now it looked rather wonderful. She lit up the candles, then dashed off to the owlery to owl Sirius the direction on how to get to this clearing for the surprise date.
