Since it was mid-autumn already, chances of finding some flowers for the Herbology project were rather slim. The only place Ari could think of were the student gardens. Heading over there with a basket in hand early Saturday morning-she had read somewhere that morning was the best time to pick flowers for pressing-, the girl wondered what exactly she could make and for whom.

Still undecided, she spotted some beautiful violets. Regardless of the nature of the final product, Ari was confident she could use these. Picking a few, she looked around for more interesting plants. She added some geraniums and pansies to the collection in her basket, and suddenly an idea formed in her head. Yes, she knew what to do with them. But she still needed a few more items. Some ferns, for one. Luckily, there were plenty in the student gardens.

Having picked those up, Ari made up her mind as to where to go next, basket and all. The orchard.
