“I’ll create something brand new the day that I’m done learning everything there is to be learned. And I actually still have quite a while to go on assignments other than this one.”

“You didn’t have to come with me, you know,” Pandora frowned momentarily. “I could easily find all the things I need on my own if you’re too busy.”

andromeda-from-slytherin:

“I uhh… I don’t know.” Andromeda stopped, and thought for a moment. “Probably not. Cats don’t usually swim, do they? I’ve never put in her water, so I can’t imagine she’d even know how.”

“I think they do,” Pandora shrugged. “They just prefer not to. You know what I mean? They know they don’t have to, so they don’t do it. We humans do everything for them so they don’t have a reason to swim. They don’t have to fish or hunt any more, really. I wonder if the merpeople have pets...” she thought out loud.

“i make a face of sheer terror but i am so glad you think it’s cute,” kingsley laughed, shaking his head as he did his best to dodge the obstacles, nearly tripping as he did. “well, i’m glad that there’s someone here as dedicated to the personal touch as you are.”

“Someone has to be,” she pointed out. “Otherwise all the spells and potions would be quite boring.” Pandora made sure she wasn’t skipping as they walked because she knew Kingsley asked her not to. “If you could have a spell for anything that hasn’t been invented yet, what would it be?” she hummed.

mcckinon:

    “ Alright, alright…”they jumped from one stone to another just like a little child. “ Let’s search that way- I always find Moly Plant there.”

Pandora glanced the way Marlene was pointing to, before beaming excitedly. “Alright!” She was excited someone else shared her passion for the trip. “So you also come here for the ingredients? i thought it was just me.”

[pandoraic]

Emma pursed her lips together. “If you insist, then fine. But it sure would save a lot of time if we didn’t do this. We both know we have other assignments due.”

“I’ve done them all already,” she shrugged before stopping to think. “Alright, maybe not all of them, but most. And then, this is way more important! We can create something brand new!”

[pandoraic]

kingsshacklebolt:

“it would be adorable if i fell? who knew you were a sadist,” kingsley scoffed, frowning as he headed into the forrest. “we can do all that with the stuff that we have in side, you know that, right?” he arched a brow, though he knew it was a losing battle, especially since they were already in the forrest.

“You make this adorable face when you’re about to fall,” she explained as if it was the most obvious thing ever. “Yeah, we might be able to do that with already collected ingredients, sure, but I like to create a bond with them, it helps the potion to develop better,” Pandora replied, stepping over a fallen tree trunk and bowing her head down to avoid a low hanging branch right afterwards. “The personal touch makes it even more powerful.”

[pandoraic]

andromeda-from-slytherin:

“Oh, Merlin. I hope she’s not with the merpeople.” Andromeda sighed at the thought. She’d heard nothing but bad things about merpeople. “Are you sure? I don’t want to distract you from your book.”

“That’s okay,” Pandora assured her, hiding the book in her satchel as she jumped to her feet. “But don’t worry, the merpeople would take a good care of her, I’m sure. She can swim, right?”

[pandoraic]

thisisemmadobbs:

“As in within coming back from holiday.” Emma grunted still following quickly behind the Ravenclaw. “Potions is not personal, its a grade.”

“But they can be personal. And you can embrace it and start creating your own potions and spell, and that’s pretty amazing, isn’t it?” Pandora insisted. “Alright, if we don’t find all the ingredients fresh here, we can use your relatively fresh ones.”

[pandoraic]

dclohovs:

| — HIS eyes narrowed of their own accord, bitter feelings rising in his chest and throat at the compliment. “No, I started when I was seven, though it was hardly this… organised.” A disdainful look was cast at the canvas before dark eyes returned to her form. “It’s just a stupid hobby, Pandora. It won’t get me anywhere in life.”

“But it could!” she protested. “With talent like yours, you could easily become a professional painter, that would be wonderful. Wouldn’t you enjoy that?” It was hard to lift his spirits, but Pandora sure were to try.

[pandoraic]

kingsshacklebolt:

“listen, i am holding you to that. if we start skipping, i’m just going to fall and drag you down,” kingsley said seriously. he let out a long sigh, “no, no, i think having a purpose other than adventure would make me feel better about this.”

Pandora let out a short chuckle. “That would be adorable,” she mused, imagining Kingsley skipping and falling. “We have a great purpose. If we find everything we need, I might be able to create a new potion and a spell!” she beamed excitedly.

[pandoraic]

thisisemmadobbs:

Emma trudged behind the girl, not particularly please with going into the Forest. “I told you I had a relatively new set of ingredients, there really isn’t a reason to go all this far to get them.”

“Define relatively,” Pandora called over her shoulder. “It’s always better to get them yourself, though, it makes it all more personal. Come on!”

[pandoraic]

mcckinon:

   “ And if we don’t?” she asked, their eyes searching for the said plants carefully.

“Then we will have to do with the dried one from the cabinet, but I’m telling you, it won’t be the same,” she chuckled.

[pandoraic]

dclohovs:

| — “I DIDN’T ask all of that.” He didn’t need the extra information, sighing as if she’d worn him out from simply listening to her. “Define ‘long’ and I’ll give you a straight answer. It’s just a stupid hobby either way.” 

Pandora was slightly taken aback when he told her off. “Okay... By long I mean since you were a child, maybe ten years or so? It’s a wonderful hobby, though, you have a real talent, Anton,” she smiled.

[pandoraic]

kingsshacklebolt:

“i think there are better adventures out there,” kingsley grumbled, glancing down at her hand and then back at the forrest. “you know, i think if i hold your hand, you’re gonna make me skip,” he sighed but took her hand anyway, “lead the way. for adventure or whatever.”

“No skipping, I promise,” she chuckled, squeezing his hand when he took hers. “If it makes you feel better, we don’t have to collect potion ingredients. We really can just go there for the adventure, Kingsley dear.”

[pandoraic]

andromeda-from-slytherin:

“Did she?!” Andromeda asked, in a panic. “You didn’t see her go that way, did you? I hope not!”

“No,” she admitted, setting the book down and leaning forwards. “But if she got there, she’s the merpeople’s cat now,” Pandora said matter-of-factly. “Do you want me to help you look?”

[pandoraic]

kingsshacklebolt:

kingsley huffed as he put his hands on his hips, glancing past pandora and into the forest. he finally looked back to her and nodded, “you caught me. i’m scared. that forrest is forbidden for a reason, pandora, and i am just not running in there for a potions class!”

“Then run in there for the adventure!” she retorted, skipping closer to him with an enthusiastic look. “This is much more interesting than browsing the potions cabinet, isn’t it?” Chuckling, Pandora reached out to take Kingsley’s hand. “Come on, I’ll protect you.”

[pandoraic]

mcckinon:

      “ Of course I’m coming, Pan!” they called back- running after their friend with a laugh. “ So, what ingredient do we need to find first? Moly plant?”

“Yes! Also some horklumps, flubberworms and mint,” Pandora nodded. “I’m sure we can find all those fresh in the forest.”
