 Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee
Everyone else was moving so FAST and Phoebe felt like she was plagued by a million papercuts. She couldn't find anything in all these pages, and she wanted to touch the plants so MUCH. She'd know what they were if she could just get close to them and be friends with the shiny leaves. But professor said no.
Phoebe sighed quietly, ruffling the leaves of the plant in front of her. Gray-blue leaves, purple flowers, smelled pungent. And familiar. "You can do this, James. You're not dumb. Or only a little bit dumb." Only non-Ravenclaw in the family, right? She flipped steadily through the pages until one of the pictures looked right to her. Sage. Got it. See how not dumb she was?
And next to that was that planter of mint she'd tried to lick, which meant the one that looked like mint but smelled like lemons was lemon balm. So that was four now, and that wasn't shameful. What else what else what else?
Using her nose as a guide seemed to be serving her well, but Phoebe kept with the book. If they were talking common herbs, there was thyme, rue, and watercress. And those daisies weren't really daisies. Which were the ones that looked like daisies and smelled like tea? Oh! Tea! Chamomile. Phobe scribbled her answers, complete with little labeled sketches (the sketches were neat, the labels were not) before turning a grin toward the professor. Did she see how smart Phoebe was at this?
