((and whomever, I know pinging a lot can get frustrating))

She looked down and mumbled. "Just everywhere...Im probably just banged up. I dont want to move my tail much just in case though." she felt bad for bothering her. She knew she was partly responsible for her injuries and had kinda withdrawn into herself. All the negativity was catching up to her and she was trying to deal with it.

((OOC thanks merlin :) ))

Lee realized he was floating, and saw the forest around him. He gave a small smile, and closed his eyes for another minute. Then he remembered that he had been hit by a spell, and it was possible he was captured. He opened his eyes again and saw familiar faces. They didn't seem to be tied up. He considered...maybe he had just been knocked out by the spell, and the group has taken him along. 'Yes,' he thought, 'that had to be it.'

Lee struggled to sit upright, but managed to, still floating in the air. He felt so relaxed, but not sleepy anymore. He was holding onto something, and he looked down at it. A teddy bear..? He gave a small chuckle. That was cute.

Tamsin nods. "Very well stay still for a moment. " She suddenly stopped but then continues moving her wand slowly over the girl. "It may tingle a bit, but will feel fine after." Tamsin doubted for an instant if the magic will work on the girl but then remember it will and continued calmly, she looked very irresponsible and probably unreliable but she was a fine witch with amazing skills. She would never say a spell out loud but her magic didn't seem weak in any way, on the contrary she didn't say the spells or they would be too harsh- that's how strong she was. "How do you feel now?"

In the corner of her eye, she could see Lee was awake but didn't say anything or do anything to free him.

Charlotte stayed still as the lady worked. The pain was going away, she carefully moved her tail then responded. "Thank you mam. I feel much better." She gave a half hearted smile and nod. She was glad the lady could help her and she didnt want to slow the group down anymore.

[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/wIWTZKb.png[/img] Poppy had slipped a few pine nuts into a knit pouch in her bag. She wanted to show them to Professor Morgan when they got back. A skittering noise by the trees startled her, but it was just a pine marten. Poppy continued on and was relieved when Merlin () found another flower. The group would be in good shape if everyone found at least two or three. She was begrudgingly impressed by Tamsin's healing skills.

((OOC: Was doing the missing items-it was so easy!))

Tamsin was glad the girl felt better so she smiled back. "Good, let's get going. I want to see more silly things happen to everyone." She laughed a bit. "Probably to me too, I'm sure Drew would make me cut a few flowers."

Merlin was so happy with his whiskers that he stopped paying attention where he had to and trip on a branch. "Oh no." With eyes wide open he says: "Stay away from me! Don't get close!" Branches moved real fast and grabbed Merlin's leg, it lift him up and was upside down. "Hello." He said to the tree. "I was just...passing by and fell, sorry." The tree obviously didn't talk back but shook him a bit hard. "Stop that." He saw Tamsin moving her wand. "Don't hurt it Tam, its ok." Merlin smiled and she was confused but waited. Merlin was still waiting for the tree to let go of him but nothing happened, then wind blew against the tree and it slowly put him down. "Thanks." He looked at the group. "Don't touch their roots, they are sensible."

Lee watched the excitement with tired eyes. It appeared he was along for the ride, and he debated just going with it, but then decided against it. The auror had better things to do than float his big carcass along.

"Excuse me, Miss Tamsin, " he said quietly. "Thank you for bringing me along while I was unconscious, but I think I am able to walk again. Could I be let down, please..?"

Tamsin looked up very seriously to the sleepy dog man and calmly said. "If you promise to behave like a good dog." She smirks. "Otherwise you are my balloon for the rest of the adventure, if you attack anyone again, on purpose or not I'm going to have to be a bad girl." Her smirk widened. "You can only attack if something dangerous attack any of us or you. Is that clear?"

She gave a nod and smile to Tamsin regarding continuing the hunt and watched her walk away.

She was trailing behind the group. Not enough to get lost. Just enough to not be a nuisance to anyone. She watched Poppys pine marten run by, she was surprised it was ginormous like the pine cones. Though she was sure it was more interested in what was eating from the pine cones.

She watched Merlin get picked up and didnt move to run and help. He seemed to know what to do in this situation and she noticed Lee was waking up and wanting to be let down. Again which was understandable. She wasnt sure what to do with herself other then look for the flowers.

Lee listened to Miss Tamsin, and hung his head. "Yes M'am, I understand. I don't want to fight anymore."

Tamsin let the young one go and decided to trust him but was still keeping an eye on everyone. "Lets move it from this weird trees area Merls, we need to move faster."

Tamsin jumped like a cat to avoid the roots and watched the students effortlessly pass them, cept Merlin who kept tripping everywhere. "Do you want me to turn you into a balloon too?"

She felt the air dense and it was the students, they were not in harmony at all but had no idea what to do about that. "Magic doesn't fix everything."

Lee lightly landed on his feet. "Thank you, Miss Tamsin, sorry about the inconvenience."

He looked about and saw Charlotte near the back of the group. He came up next to her and matched her pace as the group started walking again.

"Hey, " he said quietly. "How are you doing...?" He looked around casually at the other students. "I feel kind of drunk. I know I got hit with a spell, but I can't...seem to identify one that would knock me out and mess up my head like this. " He walked alongside her. "Can you tell me what happened after I got hit..?"

She looked up at him. "Hey.." she said quietly and gave a small smile. She knew he would be able to tell how she was feeling by her body language. "Ummm you were hit with a stunning spell by me...and then Magnus gave you a calming drought so that when you woke up you wouldnt be so...stressed. Lets see...Lenore and I tried to have a sit and some coffee...Miss Tamsin understandably got angry at the whole situation, Merlin got knocked out with a log to the head. Then found a flower, as well as Poppy...the flower gave Merlin whiskers and Poppet violet bubble burps...and then Merlin got to close to a living tree and it picked him up." She thought that was everything. "Are you ok?" she asked looking at him concerned.

Lee listened to what Charlotte had to say. He could tell she wasn't doing so well, and after everything that had happened, he rather felt the same.

"Well," he said, his voice almost a whisper. " Thanks for your help. I wanted to kill that guy..." he said, and his eyes got a scared look in them. " I swear I haven't felt like that before. I had enough sense to shift back, but...I don't think I would have stopped. That scares the crap out of me."

Then he added. "Miss Tamsin's peeved at me, can't say I blame her." He sighed. "Well, quite the adventure so far, hmm..?" he said with a chuckle. "I swear when this is all over I am taking you to Hogsmeade for a good, quiet dinner...that is, if you want to."

She smiled up at him and said in a whisper. "Im sorry I spelled you. I didnt want you to do something youd regret and Id like that." At least she was sure she had made one friend. She had started to think it was the going to be the same thing all over again...just at a different school. She could see he was tired too and not understanding how the heck they found themselves in this situation.

Lee gave Charlotte a small smile, but it reached his eyes. He nodded. "Good. Then it's a date," he whispered, "if we get out of here alive, that is."

She smiled letting it hit her eyes as well. "Ya...doom flowers and all.."

Lee walked along quietly with Charlotte. At this point, he didn't care about the flowers. Things in his life had gone suddenly very bad and also very good.

He viewed the forbidden forest as just another walk in the woods, like back home, and just took in the view, happy to have welcome company beside him.

Magnus had gone rather quiet. He hadn't picked up the conversation that Charlotte and Lenore had been having with him. Between Drew and now waking Lee, Magnus honestly wasn't sure what to think or say. And that noise was still bothering him. There was something far more than pine nuts. Of course he was in his own reverie when he moved again, he suddenly in cased, his arms bound. Devil's Snare. As calmly as he could manage, he yelled. "Tamsin, Merlin...help." Then his voice went muffed as the Snare covered his mouth. He tried to keep calm and stop moving. His eyes showed fear. Without being able to use a wand he was stuck.

Lee watched as Magnus was wrapped up in a vine. 'Huh,' he thought, 'look at that.' He dug in his bag and pulled out his phone, snapped a picture and showed Charlotte. "What do you think...?"
