Apollonia had been lucky enough to travel around the world with her career as a magical historian but there was nothing quite like the crystal clean smell of the morning dew that settled on the grass in the grounds of Hogwarts. It was this that she was sniffling up as she strolled her way along one of the pathways with no particular direction to her wandering. It was the period between breakfast and her first lesson of the day where the grounds were particularly empty whilst the students were still scoffing down their morning meal and so there was barely a sound other than the birds chirping up in the trees.

Her outfit today wasn’t quite as fanciful as the attire she had chosen for the start-of-term feast although the garish bright purple colour of her robe helped her stand out somewhat from the dark green backdrop of the woodlands. She had also omitted the over-the-top hat in favour of a turquoise necklace emblazoned with an enchanted goblin face whose expressions twisted and turned as she walked. It was an artifact she had been lucky enough to pick up on her travels (after checking whether it had been cursed or not of course).

The History of Magic Professor stopped by a tree having discovered a stone within her black boot. “Oh fumbling fiddlesticks” she muttered before she magically unzipped, levitated and shook out wandlessly in front of her nose.
Although it sounded cliché, was this a good hiding spot for a toad? A boy named Solomon has lost one. He didn’t massively care about it, but secretly felt a little ache of worry about its welfare. Besides, his dad would kill him if he had really lost it. It wasn’t his fault they were so lose-able!!!!

The grounds seemed like an obvious place to start looking, although he was aware that it would probably take forever. Just after he had started to think about whether a summoning charm would work, he caught sight of a fantastic looking mushroom growing at the foot of a tree. Even more distractions were about to ensue as he opened up his ears.

He heard a zipping sound coming from the other side of the tree, and yes you could say he was curious as to what or who it could have been. Solly certainly did not expect to come across a teacher, though, and his amused expression quickly disapparated.

OH. UHMMM. Was he supposed to be in class?????

NOPE. But it felt like he was in trouble nonetheless.

Sorry, madam.” Madam?????? “Are you sniffing your boot?” He wouldn’t be trying out that technique any time soon with his own shoes but each to their own.
