Exploring Hogwarts

"I wanted to know what Mandrakes were like. I'm thinking of entering Herbology." Alex winked at Lilly as she asked the question and slung her bag over her shoulder. "I just wanted to recount my knowledge of the wild and exotic plants that may be found here."
Unsure of what to say next, she shrugged.

"Well, Mandrakes are beasty little buggers." Lilly picked up a couple pairs of earmuffs, and tossed one to Alex, as she put hers on she said "To see what Mandrakes are really like you have yo see them with out the pot." and Lilly pulled the mandrake out of it's pot revealing an ugly baby-looking root that was wailing loudly.

Quickly scrambling to put the earmuffs on, Alex finally clamped them over her heads. When Lilly moved to pull the mandrake out of its pot, there was a loud squealing that seemed almost unbearable to her despite wearing earmuffs. She stepped back away from it slightly, shouting to Lilly.
"You draw THAT thing?!"

Lilly put it back in the pot and covered it with dirt. "Yes, I do. They're beautiful." Lilly smiled pointing to the bunch of leaves sprouting from the pot. "And insanely challenging." Lilly added.

"Hmm, interesting. I should have brought my quill and notebook to make some notes." Alex thought out loud. "When is the next charms lesson by the way? Going between lessons isn't an easy affair."

"Eh, Flitty's choice, suppose she needed a break, who knows." Lilly shrugged as she handed Alex her spare quill and parchment roll from her bag and smiled

Alex took the scroll and quill with gratification but stopped when a thought clicked in her mind.
"Wait, I thought Prof. Fitwick was a man?!" Alex gasped, looking up at the girl.

Lilly laughed so hard at this she almost fell over, "Yes in the stories your parents tell you about Hogwarts maybe, but no, Flitwick is as much a girl as you and I"

"Right... right, okay..." Alex stammered, putting the paper and pen on one of the desks for she did not need it right now. With the heat filling the air and her lungs, she decided it would be a good time to go outside.
"Does anything happen here aside from what's created by the Professors?" Alex asked.

"Not normally,unless its an RP or a game, no" Lilly said following her outside.

Alex breifly through to herself, stepping outside of the greenhouse and lifting her arm. A black owl swooped down and perched on her clenched fist. Alex whispered something into its ear and it flew off again, pooing on the way.
"Charming." Alex shivered. "I'm not a huge fan of birds... but I had to send a small message. I'm sure the recipent will understand." Alex smiled, going back into the greenhouse.

Lilly sat down by some Venomous Tentacula and started to Draw them

Sighing, Alex exited the greenhouse, leaving the paper and quill where they were. She decided she had better go and look in the Slytherin Common Room.
"See you later then!" She called out, directing the call behind her as she left.

"Like always!" Lilly called back to her as she left.
