| AR post 3 comminucate A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Now that he had found the maple tree he should....? what was the next step again? Daichi placed his hand in his pocket and took out his hand written notes he had taken over from the notice board. He checked the things he had already done before placing it back in his pocket, knowing what to do.
Getting closer to the tree, Daichi began to feel weird. How did you even communicate with one? Talk to it? Yeah , he'd decide on talking to it first. "Hiya maple tree~!" what now? "Your leaves are sooo pretty" ...WHAT?! He had to communicate right? and the leaves were pretty~ What now? Daichi scratched the back of his head awkwardly as he stared up at the tree. "I read in a book once that in order to know how old a tree is you have to cut them down and count the rings" Ah yes, he was good in communicating.
"But i won't do that, so are we friends!?" :3

| AR Post # 5 - Offering Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up
Since the Laurel tree liked Kat, the prefect then read the next set of instructions in her textbook. Make an offering because the tree liked her. Okay. Kat did bring a slice of bread with her because she was just totally PREPARED for this. Bending down, the Slytherin dug a small hole on the ground at the base of the Laurel tree.
Ew. Dirt. Why did she have to handle dirt? Oh of course. Kat forgot to bring her gloves. So much for preparedness, right Kat? Huh? Yeah. But she needed this over with. After digging the small hole, Kat clapped her hands together, which made the dirt fall down back on the ground. Yeah. It wasn’t going inside her nails anymore. Talk about gross.
So, the next step was...? Consult the textbook again.

Tobias gave a muffled sort of yell as he hit the ground, face first, and sort of lay there for a moment. Really, it was quite comfortable. Though he was probably filthy now.
Removing his hand from his pocket (along with the sought after chocolate), Tobias placed both palms on the ground and pushed himself up a bit so he was no longer eating dirt. The Hufflepuff moved so he was sitting cross-legged on the floor and looked down at himself. Yep. Filthy. It was a good job he was just wearing the shirt/trouser/tie part of his uniform and not his robes. Those things were AWFUL to try and wash.
Wrinking his nose as he inwardly grumbled for the 483683486234th time about the fact that he had to DO HIS OWN LAUNDRY, Tobias reached for his chocolate and started to treat himself.
As he sat there.
In the middle of the pathways.
Lost.

| AR Post # 6 - Chant verse from textbook Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up
Next step was chanting the verse from the textbook. Ermm... okay. Kat took the textbook from the ground again, with her hands DIRT-FREE just for the record. She wouldn’t touch her belongings with dirty hands, okay? Hygiene you know. So anyway... moving back to the Runes project. Chant the verse from the book. Kat squinted and sighed.
What a verse. But anyway, she needed to do that. Because it was part of the project. Project = house points.
"Hail to thee, wight of Laurel,
I pray to thee give this branch of your body!
Into it send thy speed,
To it bind the might of the bright runes... "
Wait. The Elder Futhark. Kat flipped the pages to that... because she didn’t remember them ALL and she wasn’t going to make a jerk out of herself for missing out one rune and messing up the whole thing.
“Fehu... Uruz... Thurisaz... Ansuz... Raidho... Kenaz... Gebo... Wunjo... Hagalaz... Naudhiz... Isa... Jera... Eihwaz... Perthro... Algiz... Sowilo... Teiwaz... Berkana... Ehwaz... Mannaz... Laguz... Inguz... Dagaz... Othala...”
DONE WITH THAT. Okay. Time to cut the Gandr wood. Let’s go, Hudson.

Omnomnomnomnom.
OmnomNOM.
NOMNOMNOM.
Chocolate was legit SO GOOD. Tobias didn't think he'd ever get sick of it. His mother kept on at him that it would ruin his teeth and make him super unhealthy but TOBY had decided that while he was still not-a-teenager that he didn't care about any of that stuff and that he would have fun. Plus his mother wasn't around to boss him about and loads of people here were OBSESSED with ice cream and it turned out chocolate was like the ANTI-DEMENTOR so it totally WAS good for him.
In an unsurprisingly short length of time, Tobias had finished off the chocolate. It HAD been his emergency stash... but being lost was an emergency. Though... maybe he should had saved it in case he really couldn't find his way back.
OH WELL.
Tobias got to his feet, but made a face. His knee was kinda sore, but he had whacked it pretty hard when he hit the deck, so it did make sense. So Toby just gave his knee a friendly little 'get well soon' rub, and carried on down the path.
Exploring, but this time looking where he was going.

| AR Post # 7 - Cutting/snapping the branch Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up
So time to cut the the Gandr wood now. Or... snap it out to be exact. They can’t cut it because they weren’t making staffs, but they were making Gandrs which were runic WANDS. So yeah, that was it. Kat then looked for a nice branch to snap and then it felt as if the tree was helping her when the window slowly blew and a dry leaf from the Laurel tree got caught beside one of its branches. IT WAS A SIGN. See? Told you the Laurel tree liked her loads. Kat beamed and stuff.
...
Snap it right. Kat took hold of the branch and sort of pulled it towards her slowly... until she placed much more force than before. SNAAAAAAP! Oh... okay. Branch was snapped now. Thanks a lot, Laurel tree, for being really helpful today. But... oh a wound. Kat immediately took the bituminous paint from her bag and painted it on top of the wound she had created on the tree. “Sorry about that. I hope it’s better now.” You were harmed for a good reason though... for Kat’s house points and project. In return, it got healed. Now...
Time for the thanksgiving chant!verse.

Skipping back to the tree where she almost forgot was for her Ancient Runes homework, Elise pulled her textbook out again. She'd gone to sleep halfway through the previous process and she'd be knocked off her broom if it would happen again.
Since silence meant consent and all that stuff, Elise flipped open the notebook she'd brought with her this time around. Make an offering to the tree. Was this like worship? Because Elise didn't worship anything. Nope. Worshiping had to do with religion and Elise didn't have one. So she was just going to offer the tree... an apple. Since she had it in her book bag and all that. Taking a small shovel out of her bag (Elise had come prepared for Herbology-related stuff, since it was a tree), Elise dug a small hole somewhere near-ish the roots and dropped the apple in. Then, she simply covered it.
"Accept my offering, oh great Tree Yawn, in exchange for one of your branches," she recited dramatically, squinting at her book. "You can use some fertilizer, anyway." Uh, now what? Time to go back to squinting at the textbook, yeah.

| AR Post # 8 - Thanking tree and chanting second verse Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up
With everything done, Kat stretched for a bit because she had done a LOT today. Now, it was time to thank the tree with another verse or chant from the book. The prefect bent down and snatched her Runes textbook and squinted at it in search for the second verse to chant to the tree for being really kind and helpful and just super supportive throughout this process. May the force be with you, Laurel.
So now... Yeah. Chant. Right.
"Wight of Laurel, accept my thanks.
Henceforth may your might be in this branch!
Magically bound to the bright runes...”
WAIT. HOLD IT RIGHT THERE. Kat flipped back to the Elder Futhark page in her textbook. Merlin.
“Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raidho, Kenaz, Gebo, Wunjo, Hagalaz, Naudhiz, Isa, Jera, Eihwaz, Perthro, Algiz, Sowilo, Teiwaz, Berkana, Ehwaz, Mannaz, Laguz, Inguz, Dagaz, Othala... Working my will with speed and wisdom."
Finally Kat was DONE with all the chanting.

Okay, so apparently now she had to chant. It wasn't like she had nothing better to do with her life because she did. She could be reading some muggle novel or flying or doing something far more productive than chanting. To a tree, no less. Well, it meant house points and if it got Ravenclaw out of last place, she was going to do it. No matter how totally embarassing this was.
"Hail to thee, wight of Rowan,
I pray to thee give this branch of your body!
Into it send thy speed,
To it bind the might of the bright runes.
(insert the names of the runes to be used on your wand)"
Oh now she was supposed to chant the Elder Futhark. Thank Merlin she was holding her textbook, flipped to the appropriate page and all that.
"of Fehu... Uruz... Thurisaz... Ansuz... Raidho... Kenaz... Gebo... Wunjo... Hagalaz... Naudhiz... Isa... Jera... Eihwaz... Perthro... Algiz... Sowilo... Teiwaz... Berkana... Ehwaz... Mannaz... Laguz... Inguz... Dagaz and Othala...”
That was it. Time to cut a rowan branch.

| AR Post # 9 - Strip bark and collect shavings Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up
Time to strip away all of the bark from her Gandr wood. Okay. Since she had done the others already, Kat took the branch she had snapped from the tree and her wand from her pocket. So... she was supposed to strip off the bark. Hmm... maybe diffindo? Because there was no bark stripping spell for this matter. Diffindo was the Severing Charm anyway so, why not?
Okay... let’s do it.
“Diffindo!” Kat said and made a slash on top of the branch and... OH, the bark got off. Hehe, so the Severing Charm did work. Kat repeated the process until no more bark was left and then tucked in the shavings inside the pouch she had brought along with her earlier. Preparedness = 99%. Okay... that was done. She’ll come back here soon because... she was supposed to write a song for the tree. She was no good at this, for the record. Worth the try though. “Be back in a while, Laurel. I have to write you a song and you’re going to like it.” HOPEFULLY.

Now, the textbook said to cut the branch with her magical wand. That probably meant her regular wand, right? Not to snap it manually and all that stuff? Yeah. Probably. Pulling her wand out of its holster and pointing it at a suitably nice branch, she decided that this was as good a time as any to work on her non-verbals. Cross-curriculum, y'know? Fun stuff.
Diffindo ringing out loud and clear in her mind, she swished the wand slightly so that only the one branch that she wanted fell with a not-so-much a thud as she cushioned its landing with a Cushioning Charm. Couldn't have her Gandr wood splintering and all that.
Now what?

| AR Post # 12 - Sprinkling the bark bits Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up
She was back now, Laurel tree! With a song already. Yeah... it was going to admire her song you know. She had worked hard on it, yes Kat did. "Hiiii tree." BEAM. "I hope you didn't become lonely while waiting for me. I made you a song, remember? Please appreciate. Please." Effort needed to be appreciated, just so you know. Kat worked HARD on this song okay? Okay.
First Kat took the pouch with the bark shavings. Mhm... NOW WHAT WAS SHE GOING TO DO?
"Be patient, Laurel tree. I will just sprinkle these around your base and THEN you will hear my song. Okay? Got it? Good." Kat did so and sprinkled the bark bits at the tree's base. Once that was done, Kat placed the pouch inside her bag again.
GRIN. "I'm gonna sing an ORIGINAL song for you now. Yes, I wrote it." Yayayayay.

Okay, so textbook said to chant the next verse from its pages as a thank you to the great tree. YAY! So chanting time it was. Looking around to make sure that nobody was listening in on her, she began to sing/chant/whatever.
"Wight of Rowan, accept my thanks.
Henceforth may your might be in this branch!
Magically bound to the bright runes (insert rune names),
Working my will with speed and wisdom."
Mmhmm. That was it, Tree YAWN. Dipping into a little bow, Elise flipped the page to check with she should be doing next. Squinting wasn't helping much, since the print was very tiny so it was time to pull out the glasses. Resting them on the edge of her nose, she peered at the paper again, trying to figure out what the text was trying to tell her.

| AR Post # 13 - Singing a song and three times clockwise Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up
"Don't judge me if my song is lame, okay? At least I tried. I just wanna flatter you." What was she doing, talking to a tree? Kat felt like something was wrong about her. Maybe it was just the amount of things she was supposed to do today. Especially this Ancient Runes homework. But ahem anyway... moving onto the song.
Cue the clearing of throat. "Oh dear Laurel tree,
I thank Merlin for the help from thee.
Without you I wouldn't have done my project.
Much appreciation from the Slytherin prefect.
Your help to me would greatly affect my project in Ancient Runes.
But if I sing off key, I'm sorry for the ugly tunes.
To always remember your help, I vowed...
I just hope we both can make Professor Botros proud!" Kat sang that while walking around the base of the tree three times clockwise.
OKAY. See? "Nice song right? I wrote it." Ego. Watch the ego.

So now she just had to write a song, of one to two verses as a thank you for the branch, oh amazing tree. Wasn't the chanting enough for it? She'd even done it TWICE! Sheesh, picky trees. Looking up at the tree and patting its trunk, she grinned.
"I'll be right back, Tree Yawn. I have to compose a song for you and then you'll hear it and we'll all be happy." At least Elise would. House points, you know? They'd get them out of last place, hooray!
Yes, she'd just toddle off somewhere and write the song and she'd come back and sing it. Yeah.

| AR Post # 14 - Byebye for now, Tree Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up
"You know, Laurel tree, you can always tell me the truth. If I am off key and horrible in singing, tell me." Kat nodded seriously. "I can take opinions you know. Just be really really really honesty with me." 'Cause she wanted to be better and a way to do that is by telling her the truth like... right now. At this very moment. But then...
AWW. "Would you look at the time, Tree? It's late." Kat pointed to her watch. Do you see? Of course you do. It's MAGICAL. "I'll leave my stripped Gandr here and I'll be back again soon. 'Kay?"
Kat took her bag and stuffed everything else inside it. "Bye, Tree. Bye, Gandr." She waved at them and left. WOOP.

Now with a completed song and wood shavings in her pouch, she waved at her Tree YAWN with her free hand. It had, after all, provided her with a nice branch to work with. Thank you very kindly, Tree Yawn. So now was to walk around the base three times sunwise. What waws sunwise again?
Oh, clockwise. Okay.
Almost skipping around the tree, Elise sprinkled wood shavings around its roots happily as she sang her tune. A little off key, but surely the tree wouldn't mind. It was the thought that counted, right? "Oh thank you, kind Rowan
for without you I fear
these housepoints, I would not earn
I hold them so very dear.
Yeah. She wasn't the most creative, obviously.

Ella wanted to go home.
She had just about had it with everything going on and concentrating on any of the studying she was meant to be doing was near impossible. Instead the sixteen year old found herself wandering, wand in hand in case anything popped up.
...And she really hoped nothing would pop up.

Okay, so now it was time for verse number too. It was probably a good thing that the tree was incapable of hearing her since she really couldn't sing self-composed stuff for the life of her. Give her a broom and she'd nail it, but singing was not her forte.
Anyway, this verse meant a lot, Tree Yawn. Appreciate the singing and twirling around sunwise and the sprinkling of wood shavings.
"So thank you very dearly
From this girl named Elise
For I'll make a Gandr soon
At the very least."
Yeah. See? She'd done pretty well for someone who didn't particularly enjoy singing. "Okay, so I have to leave you now, Tree Yawn. I'll see you when I'm done with my Gandr, I promise." Touching the bark one more time, she whispered a thank you before hurrying to the castle.

Having walked for a while, the sixteen year old wandered off the path and settled down beside a tall tree, back resting against its trunk. She probably shouldn't be napping considering everything she was supposed to be getting done right now but she couldn't help it and really didn't care. Le sigh.
Closing her eyes, the blonde let herself drift off into an uneasy sleep. She just hoped that she didn't have any nightmares this time. She wasn't really enjoying those.

| AR Post # 15 - Random visit to Gandr / Smooth Kimothée Chalamet • The UWU Agenda • Once Baby, Now Trouble • All Growed Up
"Heeeeeeeey Laurel Tree!" Kat said as she dragged her bag along with her after class. She made it a new part of her schedule to pay a visit to her tree and Gandr because it still needed attention and proper care. "How are you, my awesome tree? Did you take care of my Gandr?" Eyes for you. If it didn't, that wouldn't be so good. She didn't want to repeat the whole THING okay?
But yay it was alive.
The Slytherint took her stripped Gandr and examined it and took a moment to smooth it so that there wouldn't be cracks or random textures on her Gandr once it was all finished. Kat spent about 15 minutes there before checking her watch. "Oh, sorry. I have to go now. See you next time!"
.......... Good bye. Until next time, you know. Yeah.

Not really having anything to do, she decided to come back and visit her Rowan tree and maybe start on her carving. According to the textbook, that was meant to be done today and she was just getting started. Merlin, this was a lot of work for something so small.
According to the textbook, Intaglio was the way to go. HEY LOOK, SHE RHYMED! "Fehu fehu fehu f f f f f f f f f fu fa fi fe fo of ef if af uf f f f f f f f f f..." Got it. "Intaglio Fehu Fehu Fehu Fehu Fehu Fehu Fehu Fehu..." One rune down, a looot of them to go. "Uruz uruz uruz u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u r r r r r r u u u u u u u u u..." And then here we go. "Intaglio Uruz Uruz Uruz Uruz Uruz Uruz Uruz Uruz..."
Time for Thurisaz. "Thurisaz thurisaz thurisaz th th th th th th th th th thur thar thur ther thor thu tha thu the tho th th th th th th th th th..." Tricky stuff, those th's. Elise's tongue was pretty much knotted but she went on anyway. "Intaglio Thurisaz Thurisaz Thurisaz Thurisaz Thurisaz..."
"Ansuz ansuz ansuz aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw s s s s s s aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw..." She could do this. "Intaglio Ansuz Ansuz Ansuz Ansuz Ansuz Ansuz..."
Last but not least for this set, Raidho. "Raidho raidho raidho r r r r r r r r r ru ra ri re ro rudh radh ridh redh rodh (rut rat rit ret rot) or er ir ar ur r r r r r r r r r"
Now she was tired. Time to go get herself a drink or something to eat. Lunch breaks were for eating.

SPRINT. SPRINT. SPRINT.
Hey look, it was her tree. "Hiiii again, tree," Kat greeted her tree. Because she should feel that connection... that BOND. "You okay? Did you protect Gandr?" You better. Kat looked down and picked up her Gandr... then smiled. She also smooth it a bit because it looked like SOMEONE TOUCHED IT WHILE SHE WAS GONE. Whoever did that would have to pay... only if Kat found out.
They touched her freakin' runic wand. That was NOT okay.
"There, you look better and prettier now." Better than earlier when you had bumps and deforms. Now it was smooth and pretty. Yay.

| AR assignment post 12 Gryffinclaw-Ravendor • The REAL Hermione Granger
Sarah half ran up to her tree. This step was not very simple, and Sarah was still off the idea that this whole tree business was a waste of time. She reached into her satchel and took out her pouch. With her finger she felt that the bark bits were still there. Good... they had not fallen out during the night.
Sarah reached her fingers in again and took a few bits between her thumb and index finger. She then sprinkled them at the base of the tree, before returning her hand to the pouch. This time she took a fistful, after all she had not extra time to waste. Even so, she took the time to sprinkle it around. Before putting her hand in again, she looked at her watch. She still had ten minutes left.
Back into the pouch her hand went and it made the journey a few times as Sarah circled the base of the tree. This was being sustainable, fertilising the tree that way. She wondered how the tree felt about it, It was like feeding a chicken, chicken

No one was this horrible hopeless and sad. She was such a pathetic case for a seventeen year old. Her mind was headed back into the down hill spiral of emotions when something Daichi said made her snap up in a straighter position. Still clinging to her legs, blue eyes snapped up to examine Daichi's face.
He...felt the same way.. he felt the same way.. He felt the same way. It wasn't even those words that clicked at first it was his next about the syrup. He felt the same way.. He thought something was wrong as well. Could this be someone that actually would believe her if she said her theory out loud. Lord knew everyone else would think she was crazy and honestly Minerva thought she was. "I think it was that syrup too.. I was fine, happy and then in an instant I was upset and crying for no reason. " She bit her lip not sure how to proceed with this theory, would he believe her or would he laugh in her face.. She wibbled a bit thinking about how crazy she felt thinking the way she did. "I..I think it was Lafay.. I think it was part of a plan to poison us.. " There she said it.. The only other person she had said that to was Ethan and he thought she was nuts, maybe she was. He ate it and he seemed fine, but was he fine.. He only had a spoon full she had it all over two bowls of ice cream. Could that be way it hasn't poisoned him yet. He blinked as her tears came back thinking of Ethan always trying to protect her and she was never able to do the same, why didn't she smack that spoon out of his hand. Reason number 5000 that she was an epic fail as a person and a girlfriend.
She looked at him confused... "Of course I do.. We have had so much fun this term I just wish we could have hung out before this term." she started feeling her lip tremble with emotion again. Of course she would find another great friend and they would leave.... She put her hand on his arm, she would have hugged but hugs were just bad.. Hugs equaled burning plants and she just couldn't go there... "am I wrong?" Maybe she was crazy.. Maybe the friendship she thought was just fake images in her head, at this point she felt anything was possible.
Minerva nodded and she bit her lip trying to force tears to stop falling, but it didn't help. "I.. I know we will see each other and he isn't going to far for Uni, but it's not the same...I.. I don't know what I would have done without him this term... and I don't know what I will do without him next term." She couldn't believe how dependent she had gotten on one person, when did this happen. It was obvious she would have been taken by a dementor a time or two if it wasn't for him being there and the stress of the detention he took most of that on as well. He was always her support. "H..he said he will see me on Hogsmeade weekends, b..but what if he meets new people and doesn't want to visit anymore.. What if he finds someone better." because better was out there and she knew it.
She really wanted to give Daichi a smile and a hug for his words of wisdom, "I see why they made you prefect Daichi.." He really didn't have to be sitting her dealing with her, but he was. She was lucky to have found yet another great friend. "Of course we will Owl.. Liesel will send you many letters so be ready.. She hasn't been out much this term being just a baby. " She then looked up, "What are you doing after here? I mean is it close enough to visit? Maybe quidditch matches or Hogsmeade?" She would love for him to visit next term. "Professor Lafay?" Daichi repeated as a frown appeared on his face. He knew his Head of House was scary but...to actually go that far to poison students? He wasn't so sure about that. "Are you really sure? because it does sound a little... i don't know ... weird?" the theory he meant. "Maybe your mind lets you believe that Professor Lafay done this because she was there during your detention and you are either really scared of her right now or hold a grudge" But no, Lafay was his Head of House, he couldn't simple believe that she poisoned them just because Minnie THOUGHT she had.
Wait...she REALLY did think of him as a friend!
Sharing the confused look that Minnie casted at him, Daichi's cheeks began to blush a shade of light red and he smiled a little. "Ah..ok...sorry it's just, i haven't have many friends since Kurumi and Jonathan left , i think they were the only people who actually liked me" there was a pause as the Slytherin looked down at his Prefect badge when she told him that she could see why he became a Prefect. "I think i fail as a Prefect actually..." he mumbled. "The way i behaved this year, nearly no one in my own house likes me and i'm pretty sure they think i'm a childish failure. I can't do anything right..." He had always defended himself throughout the year whenever someone said something , or ignored them but now that he really thought back, he was just that...a failure destined to be alone forever.
She was really scared of Ethan going away didn't she? Well, Daichi couldn't argue with that, when his ex-girlfriend Indy had decided to go to another school he was left heartbroken until he had made the decision to break up with her because he couldn't handle a long distance relationship. That did not mean he was going to tell this to her though, no point in freaking her out and crushing her little whats left hopes. "I'm sure you two will stay together and , this is just a personal opinion, but i think that if he does find someone else he is not worth it and it will be his loss he lost someone incredible like you"
Ah! the "what are you doing after this year" question. He had talked about it with Professor Flamsteed because he was worried about his future. "I think i'm going to work in the muggle world" he said "Perhaps a clothing store first and then i'll see what happens" The future was scaring him but at the same time he really did not care. "You're almost graduating as well, do you know what you want to do later in life?" "I'll definitely go to a quidditch match next year and try to get to Hogsmeade if i don't have to work" he answered. "You have to send an owl when the matches are or when Hogsmeade is open for students"
