Katy led the younger girl upwards from the Potions classroom toward the one spot she KNEW of an indoor garden. Clever clever, Mr. Healer man.

Well. Look at that. This whole place was a plethora of good findings, and Katy reminded herself to come back sometime. "So, Miss Maddie, here we are. An indoor garden. What do you think you see here? Ignore the fact that we're obviously not the only one's smart enough to find this place." The good news was that both betony and stargrass were mundane plants... no one was gonna get hurt wandering into the bushes on this one, but they also weren't the only things in this garden.

"We also have to be precise in how much we take, just enough for us two, and leave plenty for everyone else. Some plants are better fresh..." She spotted what she wanted, but wasn't sure if Maddie had yet.


Maddie fished her gloves out her bag and checked to make sure her hair was still pulled back. "Got it," she said, as she rocked back and forth just once on her heels. She was super excited about this scavenger hunt! Katy sounded really, really smart, too, so Maddie figured she knew exactly what she was talking about. Not really knowing as much about the castle as Katy probably did, Maddie just followed her all the way up to third floor and into this really awesome looking herbal garden.

Maddie. Was. AMAZED. (Which didn't take much, mind you.) "There's an entire herbal garden here at Hogwarts?! How long's this been here? Do the students get to come here often? Can you just get what you need and practice a potion?" she asked, launching into a stream of questions out of excitement alone. She wanted to go exploring, which was just what she was about to do! What did she think she saw here?! Her imagination was suddenly running wild! She was an explorer, and they were deep in a forest full of plants and searching for the ingredients to make a potion they needed to brew really quickly. Katy was her super smart tour guide, and there was danger up ahead just waiting for them to make a wrong turn!

That's what Maddie saw in here! There were adventures to be had! AHEM. She paused to put on her gloves then took a careful look around. "We need betony and stargrass, right? We should be able to find those here," she said, with a hint of hesitation in her voice. Katy could probably tell Maddie only halfway knew what she was doing here. She held up her gloved hands and smiled at her guide. "Ready when you are."
