A stroll through the park.

Ordered by the members of the clinic. According to them, Raphael needed a break, nature would help, no humans around, heavenly energy was plentiful.

It would do the angel good! Stress reduction. Getting out!

Certainly good advice.

The path through the forest was straight and easy and he did feel better! Until he stepped into nothing.

botanist vs marine biologist part 2

Turned out there were even more applicants for the funding. Sometimes Henoch wondered if some subjects even deserved to be called sciences. Minerology was all fine and good. Until people talked about their effect on wildlife and the stones being 'endangered'. How do you even...

… or maybe he misheard that and the animals were endangered.

Amortentia

When Wayne Hopkins was first introduced to Amortentia, he was sitting in the back of his N.E.W.T Potions class. He wasn’t exactly paying attention, but he got the gist of it.

Amortentia was the strongest love potion in the world, according to Professor Slughorn, and it smelled differently to each person. Granger was the first to confess to the class what she could smell in the fumes. Each student in turn got to sniff the potion, the girls and Wayne more eager than the boys.

When he inhaled the smoke from the Amortentia, Wayne could smell three distinct scents. The first was the smell of an ocean breeze. It was the smell of the wind on the beach. Having grown up in East Lothian, Scotland, Wayne had close access to beaches. He grew up playing in the sands and shrieking whilst running through the cold shallows. When his father was still around, they would go fishing at sunset. Even though Wayne never caught anything but waves, those were his favorite days. When his sister was a toddler, he took her out for picnics in the sand, collecting rocks, and building sand castles. Wayne has always felt a close connection to the beach. Perhaps this is the reason that his patronus and his animagus form is an osprey. He watched the majestic birds catching fish as a kid, always wanting to ride the air currents with them.

The second scent was the smell of his parents bathroom. Before his father left, Wayne’s parents used to have a little friendly competition to see who could take a shower first. They would run to the kitchen, race to eat their breakfast, and then sprint to the shower, laughing all the while. Wayne was to young to understand if one of them let the other win and take all the hot water. Now, looking back, he supposes that it was because they loved each other. After they had finished taking their perspective showers, Wayne would go in and brush his teeth (he preferred nightly baths). The bathroom would always smell of his dad’s soap and his mother’s shampoo. It was the smell of a couple madly in love. Nowadays, the family bathroom smells like women. It smells like his sister’s shampoo, his grandmother’s lotion, and his mother’s body wash.

Although the first two scents were easy to decipher, the third was a bit of a challenge. The smell was more obscure. It was the faint smell of boy. Not the unpleasant, sweaty, dirty boy, but the smell of an over used shirt. It was warm, deep, and inviting. It was whispers by the common room fireplace. It was laughing and play wrestling in the grass on the grounds. It was sitting too close at the dining hall tables, just to playfully steal from each others plates. To Wayne, that was the smell of love.
