#4 Fluxygrass after Class

"Gerald!" Grace said, running up to him. "Sorry 'bout that. Guess we need to get started." she looked at the ground. What was it that Professor Snape's scroll had said about fluxygrass? She thought it looked similar to normal grass, so she got down on her hands and knees to look for it. "What's the difference between fluxygrass and not-so-fluxygrass?" she huffed, hoping to spot a patch of fluxygrass. The wet didn't make the task any better.

"Hey Gerald, look! I think that's it." she pointed out the Fluxygrass, just in case he hadn't noticed it, and scooped up one ingredient's worth, leaving the rest to Gerald. This certainly wouldn't be enough, so she resolved to keep looking. They only had until dinner, and even then they would still have to find the deal-kid.

"I'll go this way, and then you can go that way?" Grace suggested, pointing in opposite directions. She started off on her own, the way she had pointed first, and started searching. Now that she had a better idea of what she was looking for, she hoped it would be a lot easier. She tried to find older patches, ones that she could grab more things from.

Grace didn't have a lot of luck with the area she chose, as most of it was too small or not fully grown enough to be used as an ingredient. There seemed to be a lot of patches around though, she it was only a matter of time before they filled up their requirements.

However, Gerald's luck was a bit better. It took some careful searching to spot it, but he finally came across another patch with more viable fluxygrass that was exactly what they needed. Like before, they could easily pick an ingredient each from the patch he'd found.

Grace jogged over to where Gerald was, at his call. "Cool!" she said, happy that he was sharing. Teamwork was pretty fun. "I'll have two when I get this one. So we just need to find two more fluxygrasses--or is it fluxygrass?--and then find the deal kid." She hoped he wasn't in class or something. She assumed fifth year classes were a lot more difficult, and lasted a lot longer.

"We should keep looking." Grace glanced at another area, considering it, "Maybe over there?" she hoped she found it this time, so she could feel a little more useful.

"Aha! Here's one." Grace exclaimed, picking the Fluxygrass by ducking her head under the bush. She was worried that it was getting later now, as she had not much sense of time without a clock of some type and it felt like they'd been searching for ages. "That's it for me. We should probably check the main corridor next" she said, heading off.
