Naturally Professor Cox had to be snarky about it. And Marina had to seriously bite her tongue not to say something stupid in response. She liked to remain in his good graces, even though he had refused to tell her if he liked her gift at the end of term or not. Or maybe thats why he was being snarky right now - maybe he hated it.

So --- instead, she forced a smile and nodded.

Anyway.

Returning to her notes, the gryffindor was just about to scribble the suspiciousness of mushrooms and their origin story -- when a sudden breeze swept through the clearing, cold and sharp, lifting her hair directly into her face and flipping three pages of her journal at once.

Aaaand oh so very casually one loose sheet escaped entirely, fluttering toward the trees.

“Oh no you don’t,” Marina hissed, lunging after it and stepping forward with confidence that was immediately betrayed when the ground dipped unexpectedly beneath her boot.

Not a fall.

Just enough.


Enough that she spun and ended up half-hugging the tree.

She stayed like that for a full second, then glanced around, cheeks burning. “I am,” she announced, forcing a laugh, “having a very normal foraging experience.”
