ooc: Aww, well bye. I dont really know what to post now.... Y'all kinda put me in a tight sitch.

ooc: What Am I supposed to post?!!!

Tom smiled cause he remembered their moment in the forest.."umm yeah good idea, me and Della can go to the forest if you want to and you go to Hogsmeade.."

"Hmm, yea, that's a good idea." She checked the list of potion ingredients, as they are gathering what they needed in the student stores. "Ok, I suppose..." she points to seven ingredients, "we can gather these in the forest at certain times of day easily, but beware, a few of these are in cenataur territory. Right now, it's late afternoon, so that means we can gather these three." She crossed out the ingredients they already have and underlined those they are about to get. "Another two is in the evening, the other two is early in the morning, just before sunrise. One of each, the evening and the 'just before sunrise' ones are in cenataur territories. Tomorrow is a Hogsmeade visit day, so that means we can gather the rest."

"perfect, we'll do that first thing in the morning.. about 5am? or 4:30.. but im not sure whats in the cenataur territory.."

Oops, I meant to spell "centaur". I knew it looked funny somehow.

Hermione, Tom, and Della arrived at the foot of the forest. The air seems humid and rather hot in the afternoon.

"Here's one of them," said Della, grabbing a couple of similar plants while showing it to Hermione and packaged it into a vial. They searched for two other plants around the edge of the forest and then a bit further in.

"There's one." Hermione pointed out an ankle-lengthed plant, with its leaves looking somewhat in between needle-like and broad leaves with a fork-like end like a snake's tongue.

"Great," said Della. "We just need one more, and then we're done until evening comes."

I'm doing as fast as my mind allows me.

Tom found the last afternoon ingredient as Della spoke a tad bit soon. After the sun has set several hours later, and the day had cooled a bit, they were able to gather the next two ingredients without any problems.

Close to the crack of dawn, the trio were nearly caught by Filch, but managed to hide and then escape unnoticed. They obtained the first one, but as they were about to find the second and last crack-of-dawn ingredient, they were stopped by a pair of centaurs.

"What are you doing, trespassing into our territory?" spoke the first one.

"Nothing, really. We were just passing by, looking for an ingredient to make a potion." Hermione showed their recently aquired plant in a container and an empty one as well.

The second one nodded with approval. "Very well. Carry on. But no funny stuff!"

~*~

"Ok, we got almost everything we need so far," said Hermione, looking down on her list. They are now at Hogsmeade's Apothecary, late morning. They just need three more.

"great were moving fast.." he said to Della n Hermione "where did u said the last ones were?"

"Um, if you hadn't noticed, we are in the Apothecary," said Della. They looked through its shelves of potion ingredients. Some seemed to be very pricey. Hermione packed a scoop of one of them. Another, they were looking for seemed to bit slightly more than Hermione could afford.

he looked around "ooh.. yeah.. i knew that.." he said laughing softly and feeling ashamed.. he looked at the potion and saw the price "ooh well thats kinda expensive.." he said as he took his wallet and looked how much money he had "but i think were going to make it..how much money do u got?" he said to Della and Hermione

"My body is not a thing for anyone to control or go inside BESIDES MYSELF!" Jackie said, in response Voldie went out of her body.
Jackie kneeled on the floor," Harry, are you ok?"

Tom saw the floating galleons "look.." he said to Hermione n Della, then he extended his arm to get it, he took the note and read it "look! its fro Harry.. he is sending us 30 galleons for the ingredients.."

"Nay, you're not." Jackie replied.

Grr. this sucks. My computer seems to have goofed up on me by not letting my post go through....now I've partially forgotten my post...

Hermione looked up. "I-I wonder...how...how could Harry have been able to send up money when he's nowhere to be seen in school?" said a bemused Hermione. "Well, anyway, let's not worry about that. We should thank him later." They gathered up the last of the ingredients they need and paid the cashier. They went back up to the castle.

"Where do you think we should brew this potion? The last time we've brewn a potion without the professors' knowing was in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom," said Hermione as they settled down into the chairs in the Gryffindor common room."

"I think we should. We could ask Myrtle, if she willing," said Della. "What about you, Tom?"

"i was thinkin that exact thing.. but dont u think myrtle would mind if a guy goes into her bathroom?"

"Pft. I doubt that. Come on, up you go." Jackie said, holding out her hand for Harry to get on his feet.

"That could be years, Harry." Jackie said, lifting him up again. "Don't make me carry you"

"Okay, up you go" Jackie says, lifting him up and placing him on her back. "Piggy back ride for you"
