Text Cut: Tora's old question about Pine

Well, since the Professor seemed to be busy with other students, Tora thought that she would go on collecting plants and ask the Professor again for some Pine later. She glanced down at her paper to see which plant she would be looking for next, and froze. She had forgotten that Fanged Geranium was next. Could that even be eaten in a tea? Although it went with a characteristic of Forrest, she really really didn't want to go anywhere near a plant with fangs. She was about to turn to the professor again and ask about this particular plant when she remembered that the professor was busy, and just skipped that one for now. St. John's Wort. Nice and normal and non carnivorous. She glanced down in her textbook for the picture, this time taking the whole book with her in her basket so she wouldn't have to keep running back to her workspace, and then started walking around the greenhouse looking for the plant. Not that she actually needed the book for this particular plant; one sideways glance at the picture reminded her that this one had bright yellow flowers, easy enough to remember. Pretty soon she found the plant and "Diffindo," carefully removed some of the flowers and leaves, adding them to her herb basket on her arm.

Next on her list was Black Tea, something she didn't know how to get here either, so she skipped that one too. Bilberry and Lemongrass were found fairly easily, the blue berries and the long grass stalks standing out against the background of the other plants. Ginko followed easily with it's distinctive leaf pattern; the Ginger was a bit harder to find, but Tora managed. With the ginger she finally had to get her hands dirty as she had to dig up the root. She hoped that Professor Hadley would be OK with her taking the whole plant this time, she could always share with anyone else who needed it anyway.

All she had left were two flowers, a Lily and Echinacea. She smiled as she snipped off a couple of each flower and placed them in her basket. Now all she had to do was dry it and make a tea out of it. She returned to her seat and looked over at the Professor to see if she could come over and help the second year Ravenclaw. In the meantime, Tora had best start drying.

Pine was a tree, so she didn't think she would find it in the greenhouse, so maybe she should ask? "Um, Professor?" she started off, before realizing quite how close she was to one of the carnivorous plants. She practically leapt to the center of the room, or rather to a space that felt like the center because there was as much distance between herself and the plants on the walls. Cough. "Professor," she started again. "I was wondering where I could get some pine?" If not, then the Ravenclaw would just move onto the next plant. But she was stalling the next plant as it had the adjective "fanged" in it's name. She wasn't too thrilled about having to harvest that one...
