Foraging in the Forbidden Forest? Yeah, there was no way that Aurora was ever going to pass that up. She just… would have to have better luck in here than her parents had. And not be attacked by a chort the way her father had. Or kidnapped by acromantulas like her mom. She would be fiiiiiiine. It was the afternoon, Professor Cox was there, and so were a bunch of her peers.

She definitely wasn’t thinking of looming death as she followed the Professor. Nope. She was too excited looking at the forest around her and thinking about all the cool things she would forage for potions ingredients. Outside was her favourite place to be. If she had her way all lessons and activities would take place outside. Even in the winter since heating charms were a thing.

As the stopped at the glen, Aurora scanned the area while also listening to the instructions. They seemed pretty straight forward to her. Try not to die. Aurora certainly would do her best. Her chances of survival were high. She knew not to wander off. She also knew not to randomly stick things in her mouth. Anyway, even if something did happen there was a Professor right there. She knew that he was more than capable with this kind of thing, otherwise he wouldn’t have organized this outing in the first place.

Scanning the area once again, Aurora couldn’t help but be relieved that there were no acromantulas or other dangerous beasts lurking in the shadows. She did not want to have to deal with the kind of thing her parents had. They were both lucky to have made it out alive. Not wanting to dwell on that, she instead begin her hunt for the different forgeable items. This was the kind of thing she LOVED doing, and she was not going to let this opportunity go to waste; she was going to make the most of it.

As she walked, she noticed that there was a sizeable clump of mushrooms at the base of one of the trees nearby. She wasn’t a complete expert when it came to fungi, but she felt like she had a good grasp on the subject. She’d just check it out and see if any of it was good for potions ingredients. Though as she made her way over, she started to feel something in her shoe. Aurora blinked. She had been sure that nothing could get in there. She supposed that it just was different while in here. No matter, she’d have to remove it because it was too uncomfortable for her to complete the activity this way. The mushrooms would have to wait a moment.

Noticing a stump nearby, she took a seat and began clearing all the leaves and dirt out of her shoe. There. That’s better.
