Hogwarts RPG Name: Lola A. Second Year | Mischievous Niffler Ooh a scavenger hunt! Kitty could hardly contain her excitement as the classroom emptied and everyone began heading out to the grounds. Would she be able to tell the difference between a meteorite and a rock? Kitty's idea of meteorites was that they were rounder than normal rocks. Beyond that her knowledge was rather limited.
She made her way towards the lake. It was out in the open so she thought she would have more chances of finding something. On the way, she stopped by the pathways. There were several rocks and sticks all over the place but no meteorites. She did find a very pretty blueish rock partly dug into the ground, this she removed and put inside her pocket. Nearby there were other students looking for meteorites but Kitty walked right past them.
Kitty arrived at the lake. She was distracted by the minows swimming in the shallow end of the lake. They darted to and fro, their silver bodies flashing in the light of the golden sun. Kitty wondered if there were any water worms in the lake.
Then she saw it. Halfway buried in the shallow water was a very small, round gray rock. Kitty curiously picked it up and rolled it over in her hands. She examined the rocks nearby where she had found it to see if there were any more just like it. If there were then it was probably just a normal rock. But no, all the rocks nearby were of a reddish color and they were shaped differently. "I think I found one!" Kitty exclaimed with delight before hurrying back to the lesson. Quote:

Dressed in a light coat, she made her way across the grounds and towards the water. It was fairly deserted at this time which was a shame because company always made her feel better, but Esme supposed that alone time was also important. At any rate it was nice just to be outside.
Picking up a small stone, she skipped it across the water. "Hey Professor, I think I found one!" she brought her meteorite to Flamsteed and showed it to him. "It was in the lake but right in the shallow part. If the water wasn't so clear I wouldn't have noticed it." The Great Lake, Post 68# |
