#7 - Beetle Bash

Arthur did like the clocktower courtyard. He'd gone there often as a first year when he wasn't sure how something worked and just wanted some time alone for a while, without any of those other kids telling him how he'd messed up, how things worked in the wizarding world. They had good intentions, sure but it had always been a little weird being in a world everyone else understood completely when you were feeling homesick.

When he got there, he traced his fingers along the walls. He recalled seeing some beetles now and again as a first year, but not exactly where they were. And this wasn't like harvesting the berries or eglower, the beetles would be moving around. A touch more difficulty. Arthur hoped Professor Snape appreciated the amount of work he was doing. At the same time, it was hard to imagine Professor Snape in all his glory catching beetles. Arthur laughed at the thought--there was no one around to hear him, anyways.

Arthur began his actual search for the beetles, focusing on the walls and the corners.
