"I thought you were joking" Ritchie said when I met him in the common room about 10 minutes later. "I never kid about camouflage I told him as we started powerwalking down to dinner. I had almost cried tears of joy when I found my school robe lying neatly on my bed and had thrown it over my outfit once I was finished dressing mostly in black. I even threw a beanie over my messy bun causing it to poof at the top of my head which looked weird but I could care less.
We raced down to the Great Hall as quickly as we could and started scoffing down food. "Hey" I turned to see Blaise behind me "Hi" I responded. "I wanted to talk to you...about what happened today" he said and I nodded knowing what he was talking about. "Later, I have detention with Snape and I am starving after duelling" I said before bringing a mouth of mashed potato to my mouth.
"I'm sorry about Snape, he's been really unapproachable lately, I've never known him to take away points from Slytherin, I'll talk to him again about this whole detention thing, nobody wants to be organising Snape's potion ingredients or whatever it is he has planned" Blaise joked and I smiled, if only we were organising Snapes ingredients.
"Actually we are going into the forbidden forest" I told Blaise whose mouth snapped shut. "What?" he snapped. "Says we have to help him gather more ingredients" I told him before turning back to look at my food. "Fun as complaining about it is; I really need to eat" I told him I little guiltily. "Yeah,...Yeah I'll sort this out with Snape" Blaise said before walking away.
"Yeah cause he had so much influence today during class" I commented to Ritchie who laughed. "So Jimmy today really came through" I mentioned looking around for Jimmy who appeared to be missing, most people did since it was pretty late. "Yeah" Ritchie commented freezing when he looked at the doors, "Sarah what time is it"? He asked and I shrugged following Ritchie's gaze "Crap" I exclaimed seeing Snape at the doors glaring in at us, we were both out of our seats headed towards him in a flash.
"Ashphodel, Belladonna, Baneberry, Boomberry, Daisy, Dandelion Roots, and Deadlyius are to be jarred and placed inside this bag, I'll take you're wands from you now" Snape said looking at the two of us as we stood outside the forbidden forest. "You want our wands"? I asked shocked, "What if we need them"? I continued.
"I'll be close by gathering different ingredients" was the only reply Snape gave as we reluctantly handed over our wands in exchange for torches and the bag filled with jars. With a deep breathe we stepped into the forbidden forest turning on our torches.
Snape was hovering close by gathering some roots growing at the end of trees while Ritchie and I worked together gathering the items off our list. The daisy's and dandelion roots were easiest as they were close to the edge of the forest but the other items were closer in.
"Snape" we heard shouting in the distance "Snape" the voice sounded again. "Oh don't tell me your brother is finally keeping his word by talking with Snape" Ritchie commented and I laughed. "SNAPE" this time the voice was louder and closer.
"I don't know what he's thinking, interrupting Snapes detention" I said moving a little farther away seeing something that looked a lot like Belladonna. We had already ventured pretty far into the forest yet had only found about three of our items.
It only took a few more minutes for Blaise, Theodore and Goyle to come bursting through the trees. "What do you think you are doing out here"? Snape drawled out at our new arrivals. Spotting some real Belladonna further ahead I went and grabbed it shoving it into a jar. Unfortunately I was too far away to hear the hushed voices of Snape and Blaise.
After gathering enough to fill two jars I made my way to see Snape walking away with Blaise, Theodore and Doyle. "What's going on"? I asked placing the jars in our joint bag. "Snape lost it and is dragging them back to the castle since they refused to leave" Ritchie told me and I sighed gesturing towards where I had found the Belladonna. "I saw some Baneberry down there" I said and he grabbed the bag and his flashlight following me down the steep incline.
