She had heard Professor Bentley take points from him and was about to smile at him when she noticed he was all of the sudden coming towards her to quickly. She realized just in time that he was falling with a plant in his hand.
She dropped her book and parchment to the floor and stuck out her hands to maybe catch him and help him not break the plant and so that he wouldn't in the midst of his fall crush her either. Holding out her hands she grabbed his shoulders, but being that he was older then her and taller she couldn't hold him up and she went falling backwards. Just as she was about to fall she pushed his shoulder to push him to the side of her and to hopefully help him not fall on the plant. Once she was on the ground she sat up and looked at Oakey, "Are you okay?" then she looked for the plant to see if it was okay as well.
As he continued to fall forward he was briefly slowed down by the random appearance of fellow Hufflepuff Minerva. She didn't catch so much as push him off to the side,as his falling had caused her to fall as well.
Not wanting to cause the Nettle any harm Oakey tucked it into his body like protecting a quaffle in Quidditch. As he landed he let off a loud
"UMPH!"
He looked around on the ground to see if any of the herb had been lost. It seemed that all of the plant was safely tucked away laying on his chest.
"The herb is okay." Oakey said as he sat up and neatly placed the herb back in it's rightful spot, then brushing off his school robe.
He gave a thankful smile to Minerva and quick nod before he hurried off once more to
take notes of his last herb.
Before headed back to the last plant he looked down to the floor to step over the root he had tripped over, but no root was there...how odd.
He reached the herb and took his notes on it
without picking it up this time.
