Aw, poor Cris. But Adi had encouraging words. "Two is better than one,'' he said nodding. "Plus you've got another year here after this one so there's still plenty of time to make more friends.''

He laughed lightly at what Cris said next. ''She is. I understand what you mean fully. She scared me half to death in my first year and I guess I'm still a little afraid of her. I spend more time making sure I'm dressed properly before I head to her classes. She hates tardiness, too.'' But the woman really knew her Transfiguration and despite her strictness, Adi liked her.

The boy hadn't known that about Catnip and Passionflowers. "Thanks for letting me know.'' Those were interesting facts. "Yep, I think the poor old guy would need that.'' There were loads of kids to stress him out here at Hogwarts, after all. As he was speaking, Adi was searching for another tea plant and soon he found one. Anise Hyssop! He recognised it by the flower. Soon there were two sprigs of that to add to the set he had collected so far. "How much more tea leaves do you think we should get, Cris?''
