Sure, it was a bit dangerous, but who cares? ... Alright, she did sound like a Gryffindor saying that, but whatever. Slytherins were just a little bit of every house. Smart, brave, and......... hardworking? Yeah, sure. Plus, she'd been studying for seven years. All the things she's learned from the past up to now were put to the test.
Oh, okay. Did Cassia just call her wise? Hmm... it didn't really matter to Kat if anyone called her stuff unless it was offensive. But, really though... watch the ego? Kat had an ego and now probably wasn't the time for that. The Head Girl smirked, just because. "Thanks, I guess." Still smirking. Hehe.
Kat kept walking and all, but not too far away from the group. She didn't want to get lost even if they both had flare stones. They weren't assuring that they'd be SAFE; it was just in case they did get lost and for emergencies. Lots were going through Kat's mind. Like, yeah, bowtruckles? She tried to remember how they were supposed to distract it but it would take a while for her to remember. It was Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff, but it wasn't exactly her best. Potions was the real deal. Also, for the Kelpie. They'd just have to use a placement charm, 'tis all. Here's to hoping they don't die in the process. Augurey feather would be easy too. They seemed harmless, after all, but yeah... creatures can not be trusted.
DITTANY? Did she hear Cassia say that? Kat immediately looked at her Slytherin sister and then to the plant she was referring to. Hmm... she squinted at the plant, then tried to remember what she learnt from Potions and Herbology. Those two subjects were related, so the Head Girl took the time to scan both of her textbooks. SQUINT SQUINT. She even touched a leaf, just to make sure. "Yeah, that's dittany," she nodded in affirmation. "Great job, Slytherin sis." Kat beamed.
Had it been anyone else she would probably have been not so cool about making mistakes or looking completely clueless. But it was her older Slytherin sister. role model and all, so she wasn't worried about not being sure of her guess. Cassia looked up at Kat waiting for her to approve or point out that it was another kind of plant. Which she didn't and that gave the fifth-year a moral boost. Not always a good thing. She grinned proudly then turned back to the plant. She eyed it for half a minute before reaching for it with both hands. They needed the stem and they sure needed to PLUCK it, right? Good thing Bentley wasn't around, she wouldn't be too content about it.
However, the blond had nothing against since particular plant, lucky it, and she happened to be in a good mood so she actually got the stem slowly and non destructively. As possible as she could manage anyway. She then stood up, slid the stem into the sack she held then started walking again with Kat brushing dirt off her robes since she was crouched and all. Something might have got stuck to the fabric.
"
So that's one thing down." She told Kat excitedly as she kept her eyes on the look out. She wasn't focusing on only one name of the other remaining three cores to look for so she hoped that if she came on one of them she'd notice it and not walk past it.
