 Post #2; Potions urine trouble | Pat's Strong Confident Other Half | Pees Like a Champion Unicorn Racehorse
He had a little over half an hour left. And he wasn't panicking just yet. Nope!
But the Hufflepuff was rushing around as quickly as he could in the hopes of finding the other ingredients he was meant to be looking for. And he was starting to be a little bit more self conscious of the time itself; so much so that his eyes kept glancing at his watch every couple of minutes. When his grey-blue eyes weren't doing this, they were also peering at every plant he bypassed, trying to figure out whether they were useful for potions. If only grass was an acceptable ingredient. He'd have had two done by now.
But... something did catch his eyes eventually. Something that was yellow in colour and was near a bush off to the side of the pathways AND something that made him stop sharply in his tracks. Yellow... was very close to gold, actually...
Alec walked over towards the plant and bent down, grinning slightly to himself. He was really really sure that these were necessary in potions. Didn't you have to cut up its roots to use it in... something? And you probably have to be very precise in cutting up its roots, too. It was very Potions-y, actually. Being precise and accurate.
The nettle was placed to the side before the boy resumed his usual plant grabbing position with a hand on the stem of the plant and the other hand on the soil. Or, in this case, the ground of the pathway too. No grunt escaped from him this time and the daisy came off nearly easily. Nearly.
Grinning to himself, he picked up the nettle and, holding onto both plants, moved out of there as swiftly as possible.
