"Professors, I want to help search as well. I've seen it a few times, so hopefully that can help if we come near it." She was hoping there was a plan and that they would at least find this plant once and for all. No more worrying about it, she wanted to see it chopped up. At that moment she had to smile thinking about what Professor Newlin said at the forest.. Pitch forks.. Yes that's what this group needed, torches and pitch forks for this plant.
Ethan stood, watching the little group talk amongst themselves, when he felt a warmth envelop his hand. He looked down at his hand, then to the person attached to the hand in his and he gave Minerva a smile as his fingers wrapped around hers. The boy was quite glad to see her there as well, feeling better to have her with him then to have them separated during what seemed to be a dangerous situation. Not that he really thought anywhere was safe at the moment, given what had earlier transpired..
He listened as the librarian spoke up, looking for volunteers to go with him and Romanos, and he turned to Minnie.
"I think we should go with Bentley.. she's the plant expert," he said in a low voice to the girl next to her. And not only was she a Herbologist, but he also heard that she specialized in flesh-eaters. Though the DADA professor might be well-equipped to handle dark forces.. he still thought a plant expert was their best bet. Looking over at the Herbology professor, Ethan spoke up and said,
"Professor Bentley.. might we go with you?" Her expertise was the one he felt safest with at the moment..
