Apollonia hadn’t intended on startling the poor first year, she assumed that her loud humming was indicative enough that there was someone coming. Nor was she telling the child off, it was more of a joking warning. “The view is even better from the Astronomy tower, if you have the energy or motivation to climb up there” she chuckled. “Your young bones might be okay but these old knees need a break halfway.” That was her excuse anyway and she was sticking to it.
Fergersnout wasn’t surprised that the first years often found themselves lost in the maze-like corridors of the castle. She could recall herself as an eleven-year-old Hufflepuff wandering into the Wizard Card Collectors Club accidentally one day and the rest was history. “I wouldn’t recommend exiting from this floor” Not unless she had a broom handy. She was about to offer directions down to the entrance hall when Poppy’s attention was drawn to the tree.
Had the History of Magic Professor not known exactly what the youngling was talking about she might’ve made a joke about the wind doing that to trees. “The Whomping Willow? Yes, it has a mind of its own. Careful if you approach though, it’s very defensive.” Apollonia was no Herbologist but she wouldn’t take the risk.
