Can't pronounce it, hang on." she had a quill and parchment in a hidden pocket of her outfit and scribbled the name of a herb on it. "There, just, keep an eye out? Pleeaaasseee?" she had been looking for it from ages and hadn't got round to mail ordering it yet...
She smiled a little. "Of course, can't have a wedding without the Mime Fighting Powers of Anderson Girl" Aurora knew nothing of superheroes and genuinely thought they fought mimes... for some reason. "Though I don't know why they fight mimes..." she added.
What?! Professors were leaving? "Do you know which ones?" she asked, glancing over the table. As long as Bentley and Lafay stayed... and Tate obviously... "I hope Borr keeps his fat ugly nose out of it this year." she said absentmindedly.
Mordred took the parchment from her and read what she wrote.

Whatever it was, he was sure he will have a hard time looking for it.
“I suppose this herb has a common name?” he said waiving the parchment.
“I’ll just ask father to help me find it.” He said as he kept the parchment inside the pocket of his trousers.
“No need for you to send me money. I’ll just owl it to you the moment I purchase it.” he said as he scratched the back of his head. Mordred knew his parents would not allow anyone to pay them for a small favor – especially if that favor was asked by a person who came from a respectable family.
“Consider it as a gift.” Mordred smiled.
“I’ve read that the Lotus flower is an exceptional potions ingredient too.” He added. Mordred made a mental note to add it to his parcel for Aurora.
Mordred took a sip of pumpkin juice from his goblet and almost spit out its content as a reaction to Aurora’s ‘Mime Fighting Powers of Anderson Girl’. He successfully swallowed it before speaking up.
“Mime Fighting? As far as I know, mimes don’t do anything…evil.” He said as he recalled their family’s trip to France. He thinks they are silly, weird and scary. Proof that muggles can be really really odd.
“Have you seen one in person?” he asked.
He looked at the staff table and looked at Moretti who was looking at the Hufflepuff Table.
“Moretti’s leaving. I don’t know about the others.” he said as he turned the base of his goblet in a counter-clockwise direction.
“Tsk. Borr. Him and the others. Tate should stop the Ministry from meddling with his school. What kind of students will this school produce if that trend continues?” Mordred frowned this time, thinking of how far his cousins are now in terms of advancement in DADA. He spent most of his time alone practicing defensive and offensive spells straight from their DADA book. Thanks to the Room of Requirement he was able to practice well --without getting anyone hurt.
