She had made it to the Headmistress only a few strides before Derf had and took a good seven seconds of her life to huff ’n puff and slow her heart rate down just a tad. That was SO exhilarating !!!! And the next thing she knew, she was being asked LOADS of question. Ahuuum. Hi.

“I was almost MURDERED!!” She nodded and looked at the Headmistress with BIG eyes. It was dramatic, yes. But Zoryn truly believed her own words. “I was just planting my seed and I was near the willow ‘cause I thought he could use a friend and I didn’t even get THAT close, but then it just SWUNG at me and I ALMOST DIED.”

G A S P.

That would’ve been SO AWFUL. Also, “So much mud,” she wiped a finger along Derf’s cheek, leaving a mudless streak across his face. What happened to him? “Thanks for saving me,” she whispered. It was the thought that counts.

“Only if you can authorize restraining orders, Headmistress-Professor,” she was hopeful. ‘Cause Zoryn wanted one for that MURDEROUS TREE. Oh and "Also,
I lost my seed.". Maybe some snacks. Could they also have help with the homework? ‘Cause that was always hard. Zoryn actual had a list of things she could use help with. But she kept it short for the moment being.

"I heard s-screaming," he nodded faintly, ruffling his hair with his muddy hands. "Thought that maybe..." Never mind. It didn't matter. He wasn't sure he could take the heartbreak of more adults telling him to 'get over it and move on'. "I'm glad you're okay, Zoryn," he settled for, eyes stinging a little, as he zoomed to close the distance between himself and the Gryffindor...basically tackling her in a muddy hug. SQUISH. Muddy and wet too since his wand was still spewing water.

Oh.

"FiniTE, right," he blushed. Or, well, he WOULD have blushed if you could see his cheeks underneath all that mud. So with a flick of his wrist he performed that spell and off went the water. There were a LOT of spells to remember, you know? Professors overestimated everyone ability to memorize stuff. There was a LOT to learn about magic and everything, you know?sdkaaaaaaasdkaaa Derf head was already pretty full of creature information and stuff.

Anyway, his wand wasn't producing water anymore so that was that.

"OH! I s-s-still have extra," he informed his friend as he fished a few extra seeds out from his pocket from earlier. "Mine is in the mud by the creature barn." You know. In case that wasn't obvious.

As to the Headmistress' other question, er, he didn't really WANT to admit to not hearing a single word she had said so...he was going to try and be crafty. "Is-s there...uh...a s-specific order we s-s-should carve that in?" he asked, gesturing to the flaming bind rune in the sky.

Really, Zoryn? Almost murdered? Regina just stood there with a raised brow, blinking as the girl told her unfortunate tale. Gryffindors could be so ... dramatic. "The tree wouldn't have swung at you unless it felt that you were too close, Miss Spinnet. The Willow is quite ... territorial. Very protective of its plot of land," she explained. "But you are okay, so there is nothing to worry about. Let's just avoid going that direction again, okay?"

And there would be no restraining orders for the Whomping Willow today. That's not how those worked. If you didn't want to make contact with its branches, you simple didn't go anywhere near it.

Her raised eyebrow returned to once again when the girl mentioned that she had lost her seed. It was then directed at the Hufflepuff when he said that he still had extra seeds. Hadn't she said to put the extras back? Alas, she was going to let it slide. Him having the seed Zoryn needed was saving her time in the grand scheme of things.

Though his seed was in the mud? Oh, Merlin.

As for how she could further assist them, she saw right past Derfael. She had been teaching long enough to know when students hadn't been listening to instructions. She wasn't born yesterday, you know. "The order would be Berkana, Inguz, and then Jera, Mr. Ashburry-Hawthorne." She hoped he wouldn't need her to pronounce the incantation for him, considering they had been using it all term.

She then conjured a small piece of parchment and wrote something on it. Precious minutes had gone by and the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff needed to catch up with everyone else. "And this, you two, is the galdr you will need to chant to activate your bind rune once you have it carved. I'll say it again in just a moment, so pay attention," she said, handing it over to Zoryn simply because she wasn't the one covered in mud. Would they be able to handle the rest of the assignment on their own now?

Her wand then returned to her neck a few minutes later. It was time for a heads up on how much time they had left before the lesson had to come to a close. "As a gentle reminder, the galdr you're chanting today is berkano berkano berkano, ingwaz ingwaz ingwaz, jera jera jera, bub a bi be bo, ung ang ing eng ong, j j j e e e r r r a a a. Once the bind rune is glowing, cast the Herbivicus Charm. There are about fifteen minutes left to get your seeds planted and grown. Carry on."

OOC: There is still plenty of time to complete the main activity potion of this lesson. I will be wrapping things up tomorrow afternoon. ^__^
