Lottie chuckled. "Good...Im glad it helped and Im glad there was nothing more serious about the effects. The centaur shook me up a bit with his stories to be honest." she nodded.

((I believe ytour clothes are still damaged?)) she looked at Magnus. "Would you like something to eat or drink? It might help...I also bought some spare clothes...you dont want to catch anything...and with many low laying critters and plants, I thought it might be important to have your legs covered."

She looked to Elizabeth. "Im so glad you like it...I didnt even think about it till I was have way through...the cinnamon gives it a bit of a whimsical taste..in my opinion. Well...Im actually a transfer from Salem Witches Institute. Its the U.S's hidden girls school...if you will." She had nodded and listened. "So you are very familiar with Britain then and the school. Thats lovely" she smiled. "I could pick your brain on somethings I think Merlin was playing me at. If you dont mind that is..."

Lee watched as Poppy managed to get a black flower out of the ground, and was relieved at the relatively minor magical reaction. He gave her a smile as she came over for a coffee. Then he turned back to Elizabeth.

"Yes, I attended Ilvermorney back home, but since I am here in the UK now, I transferred to Hogwarts. I love the outdoors and a chance to go into the forbidden forest was just too tempting to pass up...even if it has been quite the adventure promised, "he said, with a chuckle.

[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/wIWTZKb.png[/img] Poppy called down to Charlotte (), "Yeah! He really freaked me out. Maybe it wasn't so bad because it was such a mini flower." It probably wouldn't make much of a present, but frankly Poppy didn't care, She dangled her legs and waved at Lee () and Elizabeth (). So far, none of the clouds looked like they threatened rain. That would really be the last thing they needed while out in the woods.

Magnus looked up because he hadn't been expecting Charlotte to talk to him. The offer of clothing was surprising. "Er, cheers," he said appreciatively. Being a werewolf and used to winding up naked, he just took off his ruined clothing right there--down to his boxers, and put the new stuff on. His back was visible to those who wanted to see the series of painful looking scars from his mauling. Finally he slipped the new top on and felt like he was going to warm up again--he'd been getting rather chilled. The only downside was his burns touching the fabric, but at least Merlin's balm calmed most of that.

Lee saw Charlotte head over to Magnus, and he watched their interaction without appearing to watch. Things seemed to go smoothly enough between the two of them.

Lee looked up at Poppy. "How do things look up there, see anything...dangerous..?"

She was impressed by Poppys climbing skills. "Hey Poppy...if you still had that flower..I was curious if we could see if I could get a picture of it...or if its like the thestrals..." she held up her phone as she spoke.

"Ive been trying to catch pictures of our adventure...things are so quick though....ooH! her eyes spotted another flower and she trotted over to it.

With her gloved hand she reached down to get it and cover her mouth with her other gloved hand. As she picked it the flower emitted the same poof of pollen. Try as she might some did get to her though...and two tiny gossamer wings formed on her back. Lottie didnt notice though, as it was her back!

Outfit Not Found

"Miss Tamsin...I believe I have another one....I still would love to see if we can get a picture." she said walking towards her.

Lee turned his attention to Charlotte as she spotted another flower. She seemed to take precautions, and things seemed fine until she turned around, and had tiny wings on her back. He pulled out his phone and snapped a picture of her, trying to get the flower in frame as well.

"Hey little fairy-girl, "he said, laughing, " you finally got your wings ! "

[img align=left]https://i.imgur.com/wIWTZKb.png[/img] "Magnus ()!" Poppy scolded, "You're going to catch a cold doing that!" She hoped the long day out wouldn't leave her worse for wear herself.

"It's getting a bit cloudier, but they don't look dark like rain clouds." Poppy replied to Lee (). "I think I can see a heron from up here. It's gathering sticks for nesting. We must be near water again." She craned her neck up, "Nothing looks dangerous though." The girl knocked on the wood of her tree, hoping they weren't in for any more rude awakenings.

"You're a fairy Charlotte ()!" Poppy giggled. "Tamsin has them all, I think. That's what, six out of twenty-four now?" [edit] (OOC: Catch up with you all tomorrow!)

Elizabeth smiled shortly at Poppy when she joined their conversation, and looked at the black flower. These flowers seemed somewhat suspicious to her and she'd rather not touch them. Then she drank up her cup of cocoa, cleaned it with a flick of her wand and handled it back to Charlotte. "No worries. I like cinnamon", she said to reassure her new acquaintance. "I don't mind at all. We could meet in the common room later", Elizabeth suggested, "and you could tell me about the school you've visited. Oh, only if it's allowed, of course." As she never heard about Charlotte's school before, it was perhaps as secretive as the village Merlin was from. Curious, Elizabeth turned to Lee. "So, which house did you belong to at Ilvermorney? Are they similar to the houses here?", she asked, though her attention was quickly scattered when the black flowers did some....stuff. A bit confused, she eyed the little wings Charlotte had grown. These flowers were a bit too strange for her liking, but the others seemed to have fun with them. Elizabeth chuckled a bit when Poppy knocked on the wood of the tree she was sitting on. She did really hope nothing dangerous would come along, but she had a bad feeling about this...

(OOC; I'm off to bed now, just drag me along if necessary, lol. xd )

((Sorry edit from before the flower, will respond to the other posts after.))

She nodded to Poppy. She was glad she wasnt the only one had gotten spooked. "I think we need to find these flowers and be done with it. I love the forest...but we dont want to over-stay our welcome me thinks."

When Magnus started to strip she was a bit surprised. "I also brought some healing supplies Magnus. I know your used to things...but doesnt mean you have to...you know deal with em all the time." She was turning her head away respectfully holding out the bandages..."Maybe...eh...Lee could help you with any burns on your back?" She looked at Lee with a 'OMG hes stripping!' look. She wasnt used to it having come from an all girls school.

To Lee

She blinked at him with a confused look. "Wha? hmm? what do you mean I got my wings...is that some kind of angel pun or something?" She didnt know what he was talking about.

To Anne ((Sleep well dear!!!))

She smiled as Anne cleaned her cup and handed it back. "Thank you...and yes I would like that...I can talk about it...its just..smaller. I wanna say its kinda like Beauxbatons..but having only read about it, and never been I cant tell you for sure. We had houses and such though!" she smiled it was nice to talk casually!

To Poppy

She was listening to Poppy wanting to crawl up there and get a picture of the heron when she heard the phrase again. Confused she said. "Well..of course Im a faerie...I thought that had been established with the ears...and the tail..." 'what was everyone giggling at??' "I'm missing something...arent I?" she said suspiciously wanting to be let in on the joke.

((ooc night !)) (OOC night ! ))

to Poppy

"A heron..? Nice !! Do you know what knd it is..? I would agree, we should be pretty close to water."

to Magnus

Lee's eyes widened a little at Magnus stripping, and Charlotte's reaction to it, and he smiled. "Um, sure, I could...but I think a healing spell might do more for him than...more salve.Either or, if he wants it," he shrugged.

to Elizabeth

Lee smiled. "Yes, the houses are similar..I was in the horned serpent, supposed to be the scholars, so I was surprised I wasn't sorted into Ravenclaw after I heard what the houses here looked for. I guess once a snake, always a snake. I'm happy with the sorting here."

to Charlotte

Lee laughed. "You have wings, Charlotte, on your back," he said walking over. "Here, I got a picture." He showed Charlotte the picture of her with the wings.

((doing some backtracking and catching up since my errand turned into an all afternoon thing and I missed tons))

((ooc gentle hugs so sorry to hear you're not well. Get well soon!!))

Drew bit his lip at Magnus’ response to him, but before he could devulge his plan others joined in their talk. And then, the unicorns began moving and…Lee and Charlotte were back?? Drew’s eyes narrowed. He’d thought they were rid of the two and that he could relax and enjoy the rest of the workshop. So much for that idea!!

Immediately his guard was up and his hand went to Dodger’s fluffy coat, fingers burrowing into the soft fur. As Lee came over to him and made his well rehearsed little speech, Drew gave a curt nod, his eyes filled with distrust. He then led Dodger to the outskirts of the group and lapsed into silence again, his plan for a secret surprise forgotten for the time being as he sought to just stay out of the way and make it through the workshop.

(( Thank you very much,m you are very kind.hugs ❤️ ))

(OOC: Since things have moved from when I last post I will continue here. I did read everyone's posts so if you want me to respond to anything, let me know. I don't think there was anything I actually needed to respond, but in case I forgot. XD))

Merlin put away the flowers found and smiled, they were getting closer to the first dozen. "I really want to see them all in a bouquet after we gather them, must be a beautiful view." Once the capsule was on his backpack, he trips as usual and falls hard against a rock that cut his arm pretty deep. "Argh!" He looked at the stream of blood that quickly formed into his arm and was surprised it had so much blood already. "That rock was very pointy, or maybe it wasn't a rock."

Tamsin quickly bent down to check on him. "Looks pretty bad, little one."

Merlin pulled his arms from her and tried opening his bag with the other hand. "Not to worry."

"Let me help." She opened the zipper he was trying to open without success.

"Thanks." He took out a small bottle and pour two drops of it on his wound, it quickly closed down. "If you ever get cut and have nothing like this potion, what plants can you use to stop bleeding?" He looks at the students observing him. "Rosemary, Yarrow, Thyme, or Dittany? Maybe more than one of those?" Merlin smiled. "I can't give you house points but if I could I would." He knew the bunch surely knew the answer, but wasn't sure if all did.

(anyone around)

Drew watched as Merlin tripped and was glad that the prefect and Tamsin had it under control. "Dittany and yarrow I think," he said in a quiet voice without really thinking about it. He'd read a lot and having Flora babbling about her plants had helped him pick up a few things as well. Hopefully he wasn't totally off on them as he wasn't big into herbs.

Merlin nods. "That is correct, yet Dittany is more quick on its effects as you could see. I know Magnus knows the potion, it is quite handy thou it is hard to find dittany. I'm quite lucky to always have a bottle since my mom makes it for me." He giggles "TEN POINTS FOR SLYTHERIN!" He laughs some more. "Just kidding, but i always wanted to do that."

((sorry we were eating dinner))

To Lee:

"I do? omg!! I do!!" she chuckled. "thats so crazy...I dont think they would do much though...cant even move them."

To Merlin

She looked as he stumbled. 'Merlin got into more accidents...' she sighed but Tamsin had it under control. Then she chuckled as he tried to award points.

To Drew

She looked back her ear catching Drews answer. "I didnt know that..." she looked back at him. "I was going to say Goldenseal and White Willow...they were taught to as at our school...but it could be a difference in locations...Bee Pollen is also very helpful." She looked down making a mental note.

Then back to Drew. "I realized I didnt offer you anything to drink or eat...would you like something? I also bought a collapsible dog dish and bottled water for your pup if you like. I wasnt sure what youd brought and Im not sure how safe water would be around here."

she expected to be told off but she wasnt going to deny offering him any of the supplies.

To Lee again and Poppy. ((after Drew responds, should he like too))

She looked up the tree where Poppy is. "I think I want to try and catch a picture of the Heron...Poppy? could you point it out to me?"

She carefully crawled up to Poppys vantage point to look for the heron.

(sorry not best reply)

"How else am I gonna change clothing?" he asked reasonably to Poppy. Then Merlin was bleeding. "I 'ave Essence of dittany, if you want some..."

When they asked if he wanted more medical attention Magnus shook his head. "I'll be fine but if it gets worse I'll ask."

((response to prior conversation))

Lee nodded as Drew appeared to agree to their terms, and then walked away back to Charlotte.

Lee listened to Merlin talk about healing herbs, and get his answer. "Merlin, I do have a question, though. Is there a reason that you didn't just use a healing spell, and chose Dittany instead..? Unless that bottle is charmed to refill, it will run out, while our magical healing spells do not. Just curious if there is a European reason for choosing one over the other."

To Charlotte

He watched Carlotte go up the tree. "Can you see it from up there..? "

To Raven

"Oh cheese and crackers!" she covered her eyes. "Magnus...there are ladies present!!" she sighed "Alright...you know your body best..." she responded to him dealing with the burns.

To Lee

She looked and looked...going a bit further up...Poppy was taller then she was. "I think so..." she used her camera and zoomed in to get a picture or too.

She crawled back down and showed Lee. "I think its definitely european..." she smiled.

She then listened to his question about healing and thought it was a good one. She awaited the answer from Merlin or Tamsin. 'Maybe they had a different curriculum then the other schools...' she thought.
