#7 - Nettle Know-How

Arthur cheerily made his way down to the forest path, searching for some nettles large enough to gather an ingredient's worth from. He had encountered them in the past, but had not spent time going out of his way to find them as a student at Hogwarts. Why would he want to?

To his surprise, there were others on the forest path, some younger students Arthur wasn't totally sure he recognized. Elara had been speaking to one of them, he thought, and one of them was definitely a Twiggs kid. Arthur had two of that kid's older brothers in his year, so he would know. He decided to stay out of their way. Wouldn't want them getting involved in his dangerous nettle-gathering procedures.

He tried to leave them alone as he searched for a huge clump of nettles, putting his gloves on in preparation. Still, he was always curious about the younger years, and now that he was officially in the older half of the school, considered himself a mentor, regardless of how he was actually perceived. It was weird being in the middle of ages at Hogwarts. To some, he was practically a kid, but others might've seen him as cool.
