The moment the words left her mouth, Ciara pressed a hand there in order to stifle the giggle threatening to escape. She remained well hidden behind the dragon topiary. Its slowly flapping wings provided an extra cover that allowed her to peek out in an attempt to read her Housemate’s facial and bodily reactions. Truly, the idea had popped into her head the moment she saw Angel being transfixed on this particular topiary. The hardest part had been disguising her voice - Cee possessed a highly feminine voice which was not always necessarily used in an indoor sort of manner.

But just what had Cee been doing here in the first place?

Just taking a stroll - she rather liked to feel the sunlight hitting her freckled face. In all honesty, she was quite impressed with all that she saw in the Garden. If ever she was feeling in the extra-helpful mood, she was going to have to ask the Groundskeeper if there was a chance she could assist by tending to the topiaries. These were certainly not the xeric sort of plants, and would require a great deal of care.

Right!

Back to Angel.

How would he respond?
Angel jumped and stumbled backwards, his feet bumping into one another, causing him to fall on his bum. Luckily, he landed on a grassy area and not on bare pavement, but it still hurt. His hands had managed to catch some of his weight, also sparing him from further hurting himself.

Heart still racing, Angel’s green eyes quickly glanced all around. Did that…did the…did the topiary dragon just speak to him? He had been brought up too muggle to understand this. Of course he’s seen moving topiary before, but none had spoken to him.

Maybe…this dragon was coming to life? Was that possible?
