Trekking through the grass following her classmates and professors in the moonlight, Auden gripped her satchel over her shoulder as she held her wand aloft in front of her.
Although the first year wasn’t a complete novice to using the Locomotor charm (it was her favorite spell to use when sorting out her dorm room after all) it still required most of her concentration to move the hamper in front of her through the pathway. She’d wanted to respond to Professor’s question about what potion used fluxweed but she was honestly not entirely sure she trusted herself to answer correctly. She could almost remember seeing a particular page in her potions book. If she tried to force her memory she could maybe remember the title at the top of the page….Was it a calming draught…or maybe it was a healing draught?…either way she was not confident enough to respond and besides she had to use all her concentration to make sure she didn’t trip and send the hamper bouncing against her classmates.
So focused was she on her careful journey, it wasn’t until everyone came to a stop beside the meadow that the young first year was really able to take in her surroundings. Letting the hamper down with a grassy thud beside the small sapling, she decided to follow suit and plop herself down as the group began to disperse. Just to soak it all in for a minute before she went off herself.
It really was a nice night. The air smelled crisp and cool and just green really, if green was a smell. And not like fresh mowed grass green either. The deep woodsy scent of dark leafy green… or maybe more of foliage green, the kind she was seeing all around her. Her train of thought carried on this way for a few minutes in her head, contemplating different shades of green and what smell would correspond to them.
