But sure, guess it was cool enough that Kat got to do it with her Slytherin sister, right? But, you know, she was still aware. Because danger. Lots of danger. Bowtruckles and kelpies, you know? Her priorities for now, listed in order would first be Cassia, then her hair. Yes, hair was IMPORTANT. Preserve the hair. It was a necessary part of her and she wouldn't feel complete without it, honestly. Everyone should agree with that.
Oh cool, then. They were going to look for all of them then, if time allowed them of course. "Great." She grinned right back. It was a challenge, but Kat totally opened her arms whenever there was. It made everything much more interesting and less boring. Take a risk, yeah? Life wasn't 'life' without a little bit of that. Because you know... have a little faith.
"Okay," Kat nodded and followed Cassia. She'd let the fifth year lead for now, until the time when they start getting attacked. THAT would be when Kat took the lead. Because you gotta protect the younger one, yeah? Selflessness. "I'm guessing that they're trying to collect from a wiggentree? We can handle that later though, because bowtruckles." And Kat did not want to face one now. Save that for later. Besides, they might come across a stalk of dittany around here. Or an Augurey. Who knows? Creatures will be dealt later.
That's the spirit! They were going to try and find as many as they could. Meaning they won't stop on their own and decide that it was enough searching. As long as they could, they'd continue harvesting. And it was fortunate that Cassia still had her notes with her. Because her memory wasn't that reliable, not in this field of knowledge. Though there was Kat of course, the seventh year knew everything! That how the fifth-year saw her anyway. So she wasn't worrying at all.
The snake nodded her head at the older girl's words. They could maybe start searching for something easily fetched. Maybe see how the others did with bowtruckles. Ahem. Hopefully they don't accidentally come across one. What were the odds, huh? "
Yeah, that's wise," she told the other blond.
Cassia continued walking alongside Kat, keeping her eyes glued on the path they took. IT was a forest meaning there was lots of bushes and plants, so she needed to be alert and focused to recognize what she was looking for. Most importantly, she was alert because this was a forest, the perfect home for flesh eating plants and merlin knew what else. That wandmaker was watching out for them, right!? It was his duty because he'd look bad if one of the students got missing or hurt on the trip that he organized. Professor Botros was there, too. Cassia allowed herself to relax a bit and concentrate mostly on the plant-searching. Which was a good timing since a certain something caught her attention.
Coming to a halt, the fifth-year crouched and squinted her eyes at a certain green tender plant with small leaves. "
Is this not Dittany?" She pretty much wanted it to be. But she wasn't one to be sure, she knew plants but let's say she wasn't that close or interested to be one hundred percent sure if she spotted one. Good thing she wasn't doing this alone.
