4. A relaxing morning
The next day Hinata wakes up of chirping sound. The sleepy girl hears "flax", "flax". Something soft touches her face. Hinata yawns and rises from the bed. The first thing she sees is a little blue bird that flax right above her head. The bird seems to want Hinata's attention and chirps "follow me". The girl cannot help but smiles at the little blue bird and follows it out from the pavilion.
They walk the path that led to the open pavilion, there Hinata has talked with Lady Zinnia yesterday. Right now the last named sits on one of the wooden seat and writing something on a parchment with a pencil.
Hinata bows to the woman.
"Good morning, Lady Zinnia", she says.
"Good morning, Hinata." Lady Zinnia smiles brightly. She drops the things in her hand. "Let's eat breakfast together. Have you sleep well?"
Hinata sits on the seat opposite the woman. She nods.
"Yes, actually it has been a long time since I sleep so deep." She says with a smile.
The two females eat an enjoyable breakfast. Lady Zinnia present the different dishes for Hinata. They all look very yummy.
Toast with mushroom, cheese, tomatoes and a creamy yellow sauce that calls mayonnaise. When Hinata takes a bit of it, it feels like she is in clouds nine. She takes a sip of her warm chocolate and sighs in comfort.
There are also freshly baked breads and scones with different jams to it. The jams lays in small glass jars and shin in bright colours. Strawberry-, blueberry-, raspberry-, gooseberry jams... Yeah, all thinkable sorts of berry are probably laid on this table. But also apple, peach, pear and a lots other fruit jams.
Hinata decides to use raspberry jam and take a slide of the dark bread with nuts. Then her eyes gaze towards another jars with an round shape that contains a brown cream, chocolate.
"You can have it with the croissant. It taste rather delicious", Lady Zinnia says. Hinata doesn't listen. She is more distracted by a glass that flies against her and a can field with freshly squeezed orange juice floating in the air and pour juice in the glass. "Bread with jam suit better with juice", Lady Zinnia says as if it explain why things just float in the air.
Hinata finishes the mighty breakfast with a croissant with chocolate and a cup of flower tea. It feels like heaven to eat breakfast after a comfortable sleep in a field of flower and hear when the birds sing.
"I remember you didn't have the chance to take a shower yesterday. There you live, people like to bath in big warm...hot spring?" She shrugs. "Please accept my regret, but I haven't got the time yet to fix that. But I have an another place here you can take a dip. Just follow a hidden path among the blueberry bushes there." Lady Zinnia pointing at Hinata's right side. "Don't worry, your clothes coming soon. Just relax and take a long comfortable bath."
"And no, Hinata. Please don't feel regretful. It's I who want to have a hot spring in my garden. I'm quite fascinating by them. They look very elegant and have a mystic charm around it when it's foggy. Now I get the chance to invest new kind of flowers here that feel comfy when it is damp." Lady Zinnia says in defend for the girl, when she saw Hinata want to compliance about building a hot spring for her sake.
With that Lady Zinnia leads the girl to the hidden path. Hinata thanks and follow the small path. She is a little confused over how this path can be surrounded by such huge trees whiteout she notice it before when she ate breakfast. But then again, this garden isn't like any ordinary gardens. That for sure, has Hinata already figured out. She stops her thought when she heard water sprays. She parting some branches and a view of clean, blue water shows in front of her. A smile appears on Hinata's face.
This pond with a small waterfall, made Hinata remember the mission there she, Naruto, Kiba and Shino have search for a bikochu beetle that have the ability to track down any target, if it has the target's scent. They wanted to catch it, so the beetle could find Sasuke. Hinata has trained every night after everyone went to sleep under a smilier pond. At the end of the mission they defeated some other who want to steal the bikochu from them. But, they still ended up fail the mission. On the way home, Naruto said he saw someone on the pond one night and he said... Hinata cannot help but blushes of the memory... that the girl was beautiful. Even if Naruto only said indirect that Hinata was pretty, whiteout realise it, she is still very happy about it.
Hinata takes gently of her night suit, fold them and lay it over a rocket. She sees a bowls with body cream and takes it with her. When her feet touches the water, Hinata shudders of pleasure. If she was tried first, then she now feel very refreshing.
It is lovely. The sound of falling water and birds twittering, made Hinata happy. Even if Lady Zinnia have told Hinata to relax and take her time, the girl still finish her bath rather soon. She would feel ashamed of herself if she let the kindhearted woman wait for her.
When she batts out of the pond, some birds fly against her and wrap a smooth white towel around her. Hinata blushes, but thanks the birds.
The clothes that Lady Zinnia has prepared for her, made Hinata frozen. In a basket is a neat dark blue skirt, a white blouse with a collar in the same shade of blue as the skirt, knee high black socks with small white ribbon on the front, a pair of shiny black lack shoe and a white beret cap. Her casual clothes are nowhere to be seen.
Hinata hesitates a moment. At the end she puts on the clothes as if they are made of tissue. Surprisingly they fit perfectly. She wonders how Lady Zinnia know her seize, but then again, it is Lady Zinnia we talking about.
Hinata finds a brush and a mirror in the basket and was about to brush her hair when she suddenly stops. The mirror shows that her hair is different. It's still indigo blue, but still not... Hinata frown. Just recently it looks like dark blue, then black, a little grey... it probably thanks to the liquid Lady Zinnia used at Hinata's hair yesterday.
She starts to brush her short hair. It's not like she doesn't like her new hair colour, but didn't Lade Zinnia said that Hinata's hair going to drag attention towards her? She has pretty hard not to think that her current hair colour not going to drag more attention, when it constant switching colour. In the first place Hinata has hard to believe that people would look odd at her indigo blue hair. Many people in the village have 'outstanding' hair colour, like bright red, orange, grey (even if you still young), green... besides Sakura's cherry pink hair.
When she removes the cap from the basket, her heart takes a leap. There is her forehead protectors. Hinata lifts it and wear it gladly as a chokers. She feels relief with something familiar near her. Now she remind her more of Hyuuga Hinata. She takes on the beret cap and go to find Lady Zinnia.
Lady Zinnia stands on the field there Hinata first met her. When the girl bows against her and thanks for the new clothes, the female just smiles and correct Hinata's cap so it lies a little on the side on the head. She gives Hinata a piece of parchment.
"A little shopping list", Lady Zinnia explains. "You need a lot of stuff to the school. Purchase other things too, if you find something you like. Oh, would you please buy me some tea on 'Rosa Lee Teabag'? They sell lovely tea there that is hard to grown by yourself."
Lady Zinnia gives Hinata a money bag field with shiny gold coins, that called 'galleon'. She also gives the girl a small knitted bag.
"This Hinata, can have anything in it. But don't forget that once you lay something in it, it's almost impossible to find it again if you don't know the trick. I'm afraid you can't learn the spell yet, so please only lay things on this bag that you doesn't need until you come back here."
The female also asks Hinata gently if she can shrink the girl's headband into a necklace instead. She guarantees it's still the same, just smaller. When Hinata confused nods a 'yes', Lady Zinnia takes her long stick out and tap on the headband, that sink into a little jewel with blue string.
"It's just that people would look odd at you if you wear such a big thing. We haven't shinobi here, instead wizards."
Soon the big white bird that has carried Hinata here, flies against Hinata and lands on the tiny girls shoulder. The girl is a little surprise by the birds wight.
"Adarna, please take Hinata to Diagon Alley", Lady Zinnia says gentle to the bird. She faces the girl and give her a silver whistle blower. "When you finish, just blow it and Adarna would come and get you."
Before the bird vanish with the girl, Lady Zinnia says:
"I almost forgot. You don't need to buy a wand, Hinata! I have a perfect one for you."
Hinata open her mouth but suddenly she is gone.
...
Later when Lady Zinnia takes an afternoon tea while reading a book, she realises something.
"Oh, did I forget to cast a translation spell on Hinata?"

author note: I'm sorry. My plan was that made Hinata visit Diagon Alley in this chapter. But it's going to take a little time before I finish it. Plus this is pretty much already. Hope this chapter weren't too boring (I myself was proud of it, it turns out as I want i, besides from the many grammar mistakes that I know is there but cannot figure out how to correct them). Next chapter going to be more exiting!
The memory Hinata was thinking about is things that happened on the filler arc in Naruto, episode 148-151. This is personally one of my favourite filler arc in Naruto.
