"What about man-eating somethings?" Audrey asked with a fair bit of concern. Images of man-eating things flashed through her mind. An especially worrying thought came to her- what if a tree ended up just uprooting itself and eating her?
Gulp.
Audrey looked up at Lex's 'wow', and her eyes widened comically.
A teensy bit of sunlight trickled down into the otherwise dark forest at the clearing. She took her camera out of her backpack. It was so gorgeous. There were tons of plants- none of which she had seen before, which made the Ravenclaw almost giddy with excitement.
"Can we stop here for a while?" Audrey asked, already stooping down to carefully take a picture of a grouping of mushrooms. She'd decided already not to touch anything she wrote down about; after reading her Herbology textbook she'd come to the conclusion that magical plants were much more malicious than muggle ones. The little mushrooms had purple tops and dark green stems, and though she couldn't quite think of their name, she had a faint recollection of reading about them being poisonous.
She set her getting-heavy backpack down next to her feet, as if when she had asked she wasn't really asking.
