Default Wandlore Field Trip


The Forest of Dean is one of the surviving Ancient Woodlands of England, having existed continuously for hundreds of years. The forest is composed of both deciduous and evergreen trees. Most of the trees are oak, beech, and chestnut. Other wand wood trees the observant might see include pine, spruce, fir, alder and larch, but today we are not looking for any of those. Rather we are looking for rowan trees, and in particular the magical wiggentree if you happen to be lucky enough to spot one.

The portkeys deposit the students in a large clearing somewhere in the Woorgreens Lake and Marsh reserve. In one direction, just through the trees, there is water, and back the other way, more forest.

Ira counted off the arrivals, matching them with their permission slips, and then once everyone had arrived he began to speak.

"Here in this box are supplies, maps, sacks, and flare stones. The flare stones are your rescue signals if you get into trouble. Just place it on the palm of your hand, tap it with your wand, and it will shoot up in the air and light up, allowing us to find you. One map per group, choose amongst yourselves who you'll be working with, older students please spread yourselves amongst the younger ones. You'll see on the map a highlighted area, this is the area where you can use your wand, we have a ministry permit for underage magic in this area only." Got that? Good.

"Your task is to collect one of the three cores we discussed, or a sample of rowan wandwood. Use your knowledge of creatures, herbology, runes, defense against the dark arts, potions, and whatever other school subjects you find applicable in order to obtain these materials. Each person should aim to collect one item, but if a group manages to collect one of each item, regardless of how many of you are in that group, they will win a prize. If there are any questions feel free to ask them, but otherwise go. You have 2 hours."

And he'd be right here waiting.

OOC: Hi guys! Its time for the field trip as per instructions given during the information part of the seminar. No permission slip = no field trip, no exceptions. If you don't want your character to go on the field trip that is fine, you shouldn't post them here though.

This is the second part of the Wandlore class, the first can be found here. If you are just joining in, you need to post in the seminar part, with your charrie's permission slip and wand information, and just say they're portkeying out to the forest as per the instructions in that thread. Other than that, general class rules apply and have fun! Feel free to nudge me with any questions.

Tasks:
-Find a group (at least two people, and up to as many as you like)
-At least 5 posts per person as the minimum.
- Have your character apply what they learned in the seminar, and what they know from other classes in their attempts to get a core or wood sample
- react to any.... surprises that might appear
- any group which manages to get all four items (dittany stalk, kelpie bulrushes, augury feather, rowan wood) will win a prize.
- if your character doesn't manage to get anything you can still earn points, so RP however you like as far as your character's abilities go, I trust you know what your charrie is capable of.
-team work gets bonuses
-have fun
-don't die

_______________________

SPOILER!!: Seminar stuff from the other thread


Seminar progression:
Post 1: Starting early, your character can still arrive. Please fill out the permission slip and the little wand questionnaire here in this first post if you're joining in. You'll be added to this list too!
How many standard wand woods does Ollivanders use, and name some of them

Post 2: Please fill out the permission slip and the little wand questionnaire here in this first post if you're joining in. Ira lists all the woods and cores used at Ollivanders and talks a bit about finding a balance between them, and the difficulty involved
Any questions about woods and cores before moving on

Post 3: Please fill out the permission slip and the little wand questionnaire here in this first post if you're joining in. Ira answers some questions then says some stuff. Its interesting but you don't have to read/listen. Also, guess which cores to harvest
Guess the cores, and tell me why you think that is what you'll all be trying to harvest.

Post 4: Please fill out the permission slip and the little wand questionnaire here in this first post if you're joining in. Ira hints here what the cores might be, and consider where in the world we are yes?
Still guessing two of the cores, and tell me why you think that is what you'll all be trying to harvest.... one is guessed correctly: Dittany Stalk.

Post 5: Please fill out the permission slip and the little wand questionnaire here in this first post if you're joining in. Tell us things about the three cores, it doesn't have to be much, anything is good depending what your character knows.
All three guessed correctly:, Augurey Feather, Kelpie Bulrushes, Dittany Stalk. What do you know about Augureys, Kelpies, and Dittany?

Post 6: Please fill out the permission slip and the little wand questionnaire here in this first post if you're joining in. There's a list of the three cores and their properties here, and Ira wants people to say stuff about Wiggentrees and harvesting wood for Runes
For those of you who are familiar with the Study of Ancient Runes, you may have some idea of how one might best harvest wand wood, its similar to how you choose wood for making a rune set. Please, tell the class if you have any knowledge about this method of gathering magical wood, and if you don't know, then tell the class what you know about Rowan, and about Wiggentrees?

Post 7: Please fill out the permission slip and the little wand questionnaire here in this first post if you're joining in.There is more information about Rowans/Wiggentrees, and about how to harvest the cores, and the wood in this post. Your charrie should probably take a few notes.
Find a partner/small group and prepare for the portkey

Post 8: Portkey! Make sure you read the previous post instructions too.

Or maybe his heart... it was always unclear which organs floated back to the surface.
Oh, so NOW he wanted to talk to her? Because other people weren't around. Was it okay then? It was clear that Alice was too upset to do much anything else other than mock and make fun of him, so she didn't bother speaking to Mo. The sixth year just trudged over rather sulkily and held the bridle, hoping he'd hurry so she could go catch her Augurey.

And that she'd get a good price for his liver.

He watched as the older boy headed over to the water with the captain, and Caleb was happy to have a few seconds alone. It was just...awkward being with those two when they clearly didn't get along.

As he approached the Rowan tree, he cleared his throat. "Hello? Don't mind me...I'm only here for a small twig. Just a sample. I promise I won't hurt any of you," he said. Did Bowtruckles understand English? He held his wand hand over the brim of his pocket, just in case.
Even Caleb was getting more work done than she was. While he was obtaining the rowan wood, Alice was standing there and doing virtually nothing.

Instead of waiting for Mo to wade back out of the water again, she began to wander about near the shore, searching for an Augurey nest. Alice made sure to remain close enough to pass him the bridle if needed, but she had her own work to get done, too.

Were those thorns and brambles? The Gryffindor started looking for a tear shaped nest among them but found none.

This was going to take a while, wasn't it?

Kat wasn't exactly sure if it was was, because harvesting and collecting wand stuff was definitely not her thing. But sure, guess it was cool enough that Kat got to do it with her Slytherin sister, right? But, you know, she was still aware. Because danger. Lots of danger. Bowtruckles and kelpies, you know? Her priorities for now, listed in order would first be Cassia, then her hair. Yes, hair was IMPORTANT. Preserve the hair. It was a necessary part of her and she wouldn't feel complete without it, honestly. Everyone should agree with that.

Oh cool, then. They were going to look for all of them then, if time allowed them of course. "Great." She grinned right back. It was a challenge, but Kat totally opened her arms whenever there was. It made everything much more interesting and less boring. Take a risk, yeah? Life wasn't 'life' without a little bit of that. Because you know... have a little faith.

"Okay," Kat nodded and followed Cassia. She'd let the fifth year lead for now, until the time when they start getting attacked. THAT would be when Kat took the lead. Because you gotta protect the younger one, yeah? Selflessness. "I'm guessing that they're trying to collect from a wiggentree? We can handle that later though, because bowtruckles." And Kat did not want to face one now. Save that for later. Besides, they might come across a stalk of dittany around here. Or an Augurey. Who knows? Creatures will be dealt later.
That's the spirit! They were going to try and find as many as they could. Meaning they won't stop on their own and decide that it was enough searching. As long as they could, they'd continue harvesting. And it was fortunate that Cassia still had her notes with her. Because her memory wasn't that reliable, not in this field of knowledge. Though there was Kat of course, the seventh year knew everything! That how the fifth-year saw her anyway. So she wasn't worrying at all.

The snake nodded her head at the older girl's words. They could maybe start searching for something easily fetched. Maybe see how the others did with bowtruckles. Ahem. Hopefully they don't accidentally come across one. What were the odds, huh? "Yeah, that's wise," she told the other blond.

Cassia continued walking alongside Kat, keeping her eyes glued on the path they took. IT was a forest meaning there was lots of bushes and plants, so she needed to be alert and focused to recognize what she was looking for. Most importantly, she was alert because this was a forest, the perfect home for flesh eating plants and merlin knew what else. That wandmaker was watching out for them, right!? It was his duty because he'd look bad if one of the students got missing or hurt on the trip that he organized. Professor Botros was there, too. Cassia allowed herself to relax a bit and concentrate mostly on the plant-searching. Which was a good timing since a certain something caught her attention.

Coming to a halt, the fifth-year crouched and squinted her eyes at a certain green tender plant with small leaves. "Is this not Dittany?" She pretty much wanted it to be. But she wasn't one to be sure, she knew plants but let's say she wasn't that close or interested to be one hundred percent sure if she spotted one. Good thing she wasn't doing this alone.

But she wasn't one to be sure, she knew plants but let's say she wasn't that close or interested to be one hundred percent sure if she spotted one. Good thing she wasn't doing this alone.
So now they had a common goal in mind, and that was to find three wand cores and a rowan wand wood. Kat just realised that it was a lot to obtain because, to her, any number larger than one was a lot. But for the sake of earning points and just having fun, she'd do it with no hesitation. Sure, it was a bit dangerous, but who cares? ... Alright, she did sound like a Gryffindor saying that, but whatever. Slytherins were just a little bit of every house. Smart, brave, and......... hardworking? Yeah, sure. Plus, she'd been studying for seven years. All the things she's learned from the past up to now were put to the test.

Oh, okay. Did Cassia just call her wise? Hmm... it didn't really matter to Kat if anyone called her stuff unless it was offensive. But, really though... watch the ego? Kat had an ego and now probably wasn't the time for that. The Head Girl smirked, just because. "Thanks, I guess." Still smirking. Hehe.

Kat kept walking and all, but not too far away from the group. She didn't want to get lost even if they both had flare stones. They weren't assuring that they'd be SAFE; it was just in case they did get lost and for emergencies. Lots were going through Kat's mind. Like, yeah, bowtruckles? She tried to remember how they were supposed to distract it but it would take a while for her to remember. It was Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff, but it wasn't exactly her best. Potions was the real deal. Also, for the Kelpie. They'd just have to use a placement charm, 'tis all. Here's to hoping they don't die in the process. Augurey feather would be easy too. They seemed harmless, after all, but yeah... creatures can not be trusted.

DITTANY? Did she hear Cassia say that? Kat immediately looked at her Slytherin sister and then to the plant she was referring to. Hmm... she squinted at the plant, then tried to remember what she learnt from Potions and Herbology. Those two subjects were related, so the Head Girl took the time to scan both of her textbooks. SQUINT SQUINT. She even touched a leaf, just to make sure. "Yeah, that's dittany," she nodded in affirmation. "Great job, Slytherin sis." Kat beamed.

No! NO NO NO NO NO! NOOOOOOOOO TOUCHY! NO TOUCHY!

Several bowtruckles descended from the branches of their tree and landed right on the boy's head. Making all sorts of awful chitter chatter noises that one could only imagine were not the kindest of words in bowtruckle talk, they began to SCRATCH and CLAW at the boy's hair.

Take THAT and THAT AND THAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

The blonde laughed at Anya's idea but not because she found the idea silly or stupid. It was actually quite smart and a very Anya-ish thing to say. "While I don't want to get attacked by bowtruckles, I'm not sure I'm down for using our classmates as bait." Didn't sit well but the brunette got a big smile from Ella. "The Wiggentrees are evergreen so let's go with that, yeah? There are some evergreen trees right over there, actually." Nodnod. "Let's investigate."

They might as well, right? Ella smiled a little and headed over in that direction.
No! NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO!

There was another human, a girl, coming this way to try and DESTROY their territory!

Several more bowtruckles LEAPED from the branches of the tree and began pulling out the hair on the girl's head with their teeth before she got too close.

GO AWAY!

SPOILER!!: Botros+ Min + Lex

She looked at the map as they walked fearful of getting lost. She looked up a few times just to make sure she wasn't going to run into a tree or something. That would be embarrassing. She looked up blinking at Wade, "Swim? Oh yeah I now how to swim, but do you think it will get to that?" Couldn't they just freeze the animal and get what they needed? Probably not that easy, right?

She was starting to feel jumpy and realized Botros was still with them. Well if he was with them, they wouldn't get into to much danger. He would be able to protect them she was sure of it. Making sure her wand was tight in her hand, blue eyes kept scanning the area. She felt the knots begin as she moved a little closer to Wade. Kitty wouldn't mind if she was pretty much walking right up against him. Not that she was scared, okay maybe she was a little, but she could handle most things.

Stopping she looked around, "Yeah I think the water is right up there." if they had been going to right way at least. "We need a plan before we get where it can know we are around. It's going to work on getting us close enough, no getting on it, got it?" That's what it wanted so it could kill them, not happening on her watch. Did they understand that?

Eeeep! The Professor was travelling with them...okay not completely with them because he had his own team and all but it was close enough. Imagine a kelpie showing up and the Professor jumping back to some waaaay back when day of his youth then kick that thing's butt so hard it can't sit for years!! It. Would. Be. EPIC.

She could see it now, actually she couldn't but she would in a minute, it would just take some time and a kelpie for sure.

Lex turned to Wade even as they walked. "Yeah, I can swim. I decided a long time ago that I don't have time to go drowning. Too much to see in life, you know?" It was only logical afterall. Life was too short to throw it away in a body of water.

While Minnie read the map she kept her eyes peeled. Just up ahead she could swear there was a lake. Was that it? Possibly considering Min was going on about how careful they had to be now. No getting on it's back. Got it. Lex nodded. "So how are we going to do this??"


Wade couldn't help smiling with Professor Botros. Admittedly, this adventure was pretty exciting. So he was going to stick with them for a while. That was cool. Along with knowing that Min and Lex could swim was comforting. Even if they didn't, Wade was going to make sure neither were attacked.

Given how close the trio were now, it was going to be more difficult to split them up now. Heh. Hmm.. was that the lake now? "I think I see it now.." His brows furrowed while squinting ahead to see the distant body of water that they were approaching quickly.

Now the plan? "Once we see it, I think we should all put a placement charm on it and then cut some of its hair off when it's okay." That sounded right in his head.

Mo grinned at Alice when she took the bridle, absolutely sure that she was accepting his peace offering and things would be going back to normal again. He was just sure, because he was tired of grumpies and didn't want to fight anymore, and because obviously asking for help was a big deal. But his obvious and her obvious weren't the same, and Alice wandered off with the bridle.

No big deal. He'd just get the bulrushes on his own, then. Mo wandered further into the water, his feet squelching in the mud and the water lapping against his cuffed trousers. How deep would he have to go before he was interesting enough to the kelpie? What if there wasn't even a kelpie in this lake? Mo splashed the surface of the water with his palms and whistled, like one does when calling a horse.

"Come eat me and leave my liver for sore Alices," Mo muttered, patting the water with his hands. "Come on, little kelpie."

Take THAT and THAT AND THAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
He heard the chitter chattering, and Mo turned his attention back to the shoreline where his group was working. The bowtruckles were ATTACKING the littlest member of their group, and Mo made a big splash with both hands to get Alice's attention.

"Ace! The kid! Go help the kid!"

curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog

Well, so much for trying to talk nice with the Bowtruckles!

It was ON now!

"Get off you little maggots!" he exclaimed, reaching up into his hair and attempting to pull out the ones that had jumped on him. He could feel them scratching at his hands, but he didn't care about that right now. He just didn't want them to touch his EYES! Or his precious FACE!

"Get off!" he exclaimed again. He inched a few paces closer to the tree, reached up, and grabbed a twig on one of the branches and snapped it off. He knew that would make them mad, but seeing as how he didn't have any fairy eggs or anything to give them as a peace offering...it was all he could think of.

Then he turned and started to run away, still trying to pull them out of his hair. He hoped they wouldn't follow him!

Ella did NOT appreciate the pulling of her precious locks and she was having a mini meltdown internally as she pulled at them, squeaking because THIS HURT. They should have collected the woodlice first. And now she was the distraction so she frantically waved at Adi and Anya, trying to get their attention. "The tree must be around here!" SQUEAK. SWAT.

Eeeep! The Professor was travelling with them...okay not completely with them because he had his own team and all but it was close enough. Imagine a kelpie showing up and the Professor jumping back to some waaaay back when day of his youth then kick that thing's butt so hard it can't sit for years!! It. Would. Be. EPIC.

She could see it now, actually she couldn't but she would in a minute, it would just take some time and a kelpie for sure.

Lex turned to Wade even as they walked. "Yeah, I can swim. I decided a long time ago that I don't have time to go drowning. Too much to see in life, you know?" It was only logical afterall. Life was too short to throw it away in a body of water.

While Minnie read the map she kept her eyes peeled. Just up ahead she could swear there was a lake. Was that it? Possibly considering Min was going on about how careful they had to be now. No getting on it's back. Got it. Lex nodded. "So how are we going to do this??"

Wade couldn't help smiling with Professor Botros. Admittedly, this adventure was pretty exciting. So he was going to stick with them for a while. That was cool. Along with knowing that Min and Lex could swim was comforting. Even if they didn't, Wade was going to make sure neither were attacked.

Given how close the trio were now, it was going to be more difficult to split them up now. Heh. Hmm.. was that the lake now? "I think I see it now.." His brows furrowed while squinting ahead to see the distant body of water that they were approaching quickly.

Now the plan? "Once we see it, I think we should all put a placement charm on it and then cut some of its hair off when it's okay." That sounded right in his head.



Minerva kept a watchful eye out around her. She held the wand tightly as Alexa spoke about being able to swim. "I am hoping it doesn't come down to that though. " She knew Lex was brave but she still felt the need to make sure she was safe. "Once the placement charm is on I can get closer to get the hair." Of course she wasn't going to let her friends go in danger if she could help it. They could do this, she was good at charms.

She walked further until she heard Wade say she saw it. She stopped looking and turned to Alexa, "Please.. I know you aren't afraid of like anything, but please use caution." She gave the younger girl a smile and turned back towards Wade, "Ready Kitty?" She walked slowly lifting her wand as they got closer.

They could do this, she knew they could. Stepping out she figured it was close enough and cast the placement charm towards the Kelpie, but it moved just as she sent it towards the creature. It looked their way, "don't look at it, get that charm on it now." Without thinking she moved as close as she could towards it to protect them and cast another placement charm.

Not maggots. Bowtruckles. Thank you very much.

*SNAP*

OH NO HE DIDN'T!

HUMAN BOY DID NOT JUST BREAK THEIR TREE!


Or had it been one of their stick resembling friends? Either way, the boy had just committed a CRIME against bowtruckle kind. Hey, how would he like it if they just waltz into the castle and tore limbs from their bodies?

Biting and clawing, a few of the creatures were swatted away but they were not giving up that easily. Soon the Slytherin had a little army of sticks chasing after him. Not to mention the one that was still stuck in his hair.

GIVE US THAT BRANCH, BOY!

Clawing and biting some more, the bowtruckles continued their attack on the girl. If they kept going like this, they were going to give her a bald spot. Probably would improve her looks anyway, if bowtruckles knew anything about that.

NOW GO AWAY AND LEAVE THEIR TREE ALONE!

Dragon? Adi said dragon? Ella bounced a bit, a silly smile on her face. "Imagine we found a dragon in these woods!" Unlikely but still. DRAGONS! How old was she again? Five? Okay, Ella, act your age.

The blonde laughed at Anya's idea but not because she found the idea silly or stupid. It was actually quite smart and a very Anya-ish thing to say. "While I don't want to get attacked by bowtruckles, I'm not sure I'm down for using our classmates as bait." Didn't sit well but the brunette got a big smile from Ella. "The Wiggentrees are evergreen so let's go with that, yeah? There are some evergreen trees right over there, actually." Nodnod. "Let's investigate."

They might as well, right? Ella smiled a little and headed over in that direction.

Yes, yes! Time no move on. No sense wasting time on the naked tree. Wiggentrees were going to be much easier to find. He would keep his eyes alert for the tree. And also for signs for the other cores too!

Several bowtruckles descended from the branches of their tree and landed right on the boy's head. Making all sorts of awful chitter chatter noises that one could only imagine were not the kindest of words in bowtruckle talk, they began to SCRATCH and CLAW at the boy's hair.

Take THAT and THAT AND THAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!


No! NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO!

There was another human, a girl, coming this way to try and DESTROY their territory!

Several more bowtruckles LEAPED from the branches of the tree and began pulling out the hair on the girl's head with their teeth before she got too close.

Anya shrugged. Different tree. Okay. She followed after the blonde badger. Why? Mostly because she didn't have to think if Ella was doing the thinking for her. Convenient, right?

klajghaerkljhaklgjawhkl!

Gelhkawekljgah!!!

There were bowtruckles in Ella's hair!

And Anya was NOT sure what to do. She hadn't found any bugs or eggs! She looked around before doing the first impulsive thing that came to mind.

"Accio Bugs!" she yelled pointing her wand toward a random tree. Followed immediately by a "Protego." She did have the sense to also throw up a shield charm. She did NOT want to be covered in smushed bugs. Hopefully she threw it up in time.

And more importantly... hopefully it worked.

Oops. THAT had backfired tremendously.

Noticing that he had a little army of sticks running after him, he pulled out his wand and decided now was the time to try Stunning for the first time. It was the only thing he could think of at the moment!

"Stupefy!" he exclaimed, pointing at the little sticks. "Stupefy! Stupefy!"

Hopefully that got rid of SOME of them, at least enough that they'd realize they were no match for him and they'd turn away.

So now they had a common goal in mind, and that was to find three wand cores and a rowan wand wood. Kat just realised that it was a lot to obtain because, to her, any number larger than one was a lot. But for the sake of earning points and just having fun, she'd do it with no hesitation. Sure, it was a bit dangerous, but who cares? ... Alright, she did sound like a Gryffindor saying that, but whatever. Slytherins were just a little bit of every house. Smart, brave, and......... hardworking? Yeah, sure. Plus, she'd been studying for seven years. All the things she's learned from the past up to now were put to the test.

Oh, okay. Did Cassia just call her wise? Hmm... it didn't really matter to Kat if anyone called her stuff unless it was offensive. But, really though... watch the ego? Kat had an ego and now probably wasn't the time for that. The Head Girl smirked, just because. "Thanks, I guess." Still smirking. Hehe.

Kat kept walking and all, but not too far away from the group. She didn't want to get lost even if they both had flare stones. They weren't assuring that they'd be SAFE; it was just in case they did get lost and for emergencies. Lots were going through Kat's mind. Like, yeah, bowtruckles? She tried to remember how they were supposed to distract it but it would take a while for her to remember. It was Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff, but it wasn't exactly her best. Potions was the real deal. Also, for the Kelpie. They'd just have to use a placement charm, 'tis all. Here's to hoping they don't die in the process. Augurey feather would be easy too. They seemed harmless, after all, but yeah... creatures can not be trusted.

DITTANY? Did she hear Cassia say that? Kat immediately looked at her Slytherin sister and then to the plant she was referring to. Hmm... she squinted at the plant, then tried to remember what she learnt from Potions and Herbology. Those two subjects were related, so the Head Girl took the time to scan both of her textbooks. SQUINT SQUINT. She even touched a leaf, just to make sure. "Yeah, that's dittany," she nodded in affirmation. "Great job, Slytherin sis." Kat beamed.


Had it been anyone else she would probably have been not so cool about making mistakes or looking completely clueless. But it was her older Slytherin sister. role model and all, so she wasn't worried about not being sure of her guess. Cassia looked up at Kat waiting for her to approve or point out that it was another kind of plant. Which she didn't and that gave the fifth-year a moral boost. Not always a good thing. She grinned proudly then turned back to the plant. She eyed it for half a minute before reaching for it with both hands. They needed the stem and they sure needed to PLUCK it, right? Good thing Bentley wasn't around, she wouldn't be too content about it.

However, the blond had nothing against since particular plant, lucky it, and she happened to be in a good mood so she actually got the stem slowly and non destructively. As possible as she could manage anyway. She then stood up, slid the stem into the sack she held then started walking again with Kat brushing dirt off her robes since she was crouched and all. Something might have got stuck to the fabric.

"So that's one thing down." She told Kat excitedly as she kept her eyes on the look out. She wasn't focusing on only one name of the other remaining three cores to look for so she hoped that if she came on one of them she'd notice it and not walk past it.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Adi was momentarily frozen in panic. He had not immediately realised Ella was being attacked by bowtruckles until she started shouting about her hair. Oh oh oh! What was he supposed to do? They did not have fairy eggs or woodlice! THINK, ADI!!

Without realising it he hand his wand in his hand. He aimed at one of the creatures that had a mouthful of the Captain's hair. "Immobulus! Immobulus! !Immobulus!'' Would it work? He didn't pause to find out. Adi continued throwing the spell at the bowtruckles. They must be close to one of their precious trees.

Kat moved back and gave Cassia way so that the younger Slytherin could harvest the stalk of dittany. She'd let her get it because, well, Cassia did deserve it. She found it and all, not Kat, so it seemed fair and right that she got to get it. Right, yeah? Cassia did a good job though, in finding the dittany. Kat didn't even notice it because it looked like it blended and sort of camouflaged with the other plants... but she wasn't going to admit that. C'mon, seriously? Who would admit that anyway, especially if you were a Quidditch player? They had to have perfectly fine eyesight just sayiiiing.

Once the stalk of dittany was in the sack, Kat looked around for other wand cores... or a Wiggentree. But then from all the screaming she heard and the flailing she saw from one of her favourite Slytherin firsties Caleb, it wasn't that much of a problem. She had to do something though, as a student who held a position in school. SIGHS. She felt responsible.

"If we have to face that Wiggentree, I think we should find wood lice or a fairy egg," Kat said just because they obviously didn't need bowtruckles messing with their hair. YES, the hair. Save the hair. It could scratch any other body part as long as it is NOT the hair. Looking to her right, she squinted because she might see a wood louse to use as a distraction. But she wasn't touching it though, just levitating it because that's just gross.

Ew.

As she walked alongside Kat, Cassia clutched the sack tightly in her hand and kept it close to her torso. She wasn't worried about someone snatching it, nope, no one among her classmates would. Well, not when she was with the Head Girl. The fifth-year didn't want to think if someone would had she been alone. It was very handy to have friends with authority. Though, Cassia forgot about it most of the time since she's had her friends since before. Her concern however was the creatures that may be looming somewhere near them. This after all was a forest.

She, too, had noticed the encounters with the bowtruckles. That poor firstie had an army chasing after him. Kat looked concerned, Cassia was just amused. She didn't laugh, though the scene was kind of funny. From this point of view, anyway.

Nodding at Kat, Cassia turned to a tree near by, "I'll search for wood lice," She said starting doing so already. She of course wouldn't want to have an army of bowtruckles snatching at her hair. She didn't want them near her hair at all. So it wood lice was needed then she would get it no problem.

She didn't want them near her hair at all. So it wood lice was needed then she would get it no problem.

Mental checklist, that was what Kat made while she and Cassia were out here in the Forest of Dean. Still a pretty place, and Kat totally found time to admire it. Nice trees, minus that stinkin' Wiggentree with bowtruckles. But anyway, she and Cassia weren't any exemption to that. They'd have to face it later on whether they liked it or not. "Dittany down," she said. "So we have kelpie hair, augurey feather, and a piece of that Wiggentree to go." Were there other Wiggentrees though? One that actually didn't have bowtruckles? Kat would rather face that one instead of the one Captain Ella and ickle Caleb were handling. Better safe than sorry, you know, but it didn't seem like they had a choice. Where was that Banner dude anyway?

OKAY. So now the Head Girl was eyeing the bowtruckles. "Watch the hair," was all Kat said. She didn't even expect it to leave her mouth. WAS IT GOING TO ATTACK HER THEN? ... No. Kat hoped it wouldn't. Honestly, they wouldn't wanna mess with a Slytherin. Especially this one. Mental!flail.

"And be careful. Wood lice aren't cute," Kat said. Because they were GROSS and have you seen them crawl with those hairy legs of theirs? Disgusting and all. No wonder those bowtruckles look horrible. You are what you EAT. Snort. Kat was snorting at her lame joke. Haha. Okay. She was crazy. Once Cassia went to find wood lice, Kat went as well. She took another stone and scratch the tree a bit. No, she wasn't going to risk on using her flare stone to scratch the tree bark. She wasn't that dumb. Gross. Gross. Ew. Okay. Maybe it would've been better if Banner dude was kind enough to have provided them with fairy eggs instead? RIGHT?

"Dittany down," she said. "So we have kelpie hair, augurey feather, and a piece of that Wiggentree to go." Were there other Wiggentrees though? One that actually didn't have bowtruckles?

Cassia nodded at Kat's words as she listed the other stuffs they needed to harvest. And they obviously were done with the easiest one but that was just a warm up. She glanced at the bowtruckle-encounter and hoped hers and Kat's would somehow be better and easier. Did the other two not have or find wood lice? It'd be kind of mean if it wasn't possible to find wood lice while still having to deal with the bowtruckles. Where was the wands dude? She supposed he must be enjoying the scene. She didn't blame him, she almost enjoyed except that she knew she might undergo that so she decided not to show any amusement expressions. Not cool.

The fifth-year picked up a twig from the ground and started scratching the trees' bark but then she saw Kat using a stone. Now that was smart especially when the twig in Cassia's hand snapped in half. Heh. There were lots of stones luckily so she grabbed one and started scratching again after dropping the broken twig. Eww. Come one lice! Come out, come out wherever you are! That was weird just thinking it.

At Kat's warning, her face broke into a grin replacing the frowning-in-concentration one. "They really are not," She agreed finding her older!Snake!sister amusing and fun. See why she was excited about partnering up with Kat.

Scratch..Scratch...

Her moves became absentminded after a while but her brain finally registered the wood lice appearing. She dropped the stone and took a HUGE step back wrinkling her nose. EWW! But... she needed those. Muttering under her breath that providing them with a jar would have been a good idea, she checked the ground around her until she found the twig she just dropped. Immediately she picked up the two pieces and stepped closer to the tree again and started nudging a couple of lice with one of the twig pieces to get on the other one. "I think I found a couple!" Well, she did find one but she wasn't sure if she was able to NOT lose them. "How are we going to give them to the bowtruckles, by the way?" she asked her eyes locked on a stubborn louse. Hopefully Kat had an idea of how this worked.
