Arthur had double-checked with the ingredients he already had and the ones he needed. He would try to make as many bone mend potions as he could, but he wasn't sure how easy it would be to find some of the ingredients. Thankfully, he already had the beetles, which would have been the hardest to get otherwise. The horn wouldn't be a problem.
Now, he was on the lawns hunting for fluxygrass. He had a good idea of what it looked like from the scroll Professor Snape had given him, but he was sure that there had to be tons of other students looking for fluxygrass. Who wouldn't want to help Madam Pomfrey out if they had free time? He looked down, keeping an eye out for things that might be the proper size of the ingredient.
It was hard to tell if the overcast sky helped or hindered his search, as fluxygrass was a relatively common ingredient. He saw various patches of them, though none yet that were the right size or condition for use in potion-making.
There seemed to be more on one side of the lawn than the other, from where he stood. If he ventured a bit further from the castle, more in the direction of the forest, his lunch would surely improve.

Arthur sighed, then looked over. He stepped closer to the forest, looking down at his feet in case he missed anything. The area closer to the forest seemed to be good, and he wondered if it was because students didn't want to be accused of going into the forest. How close did you have to be to get detention for such a thing, anyways?
He kept his eyes peeled for a proper fluxygrass ingredient, one that was nothing like the ones he had seen already. It was a comfort to know that it was constantly growing and he wasn't doing too much by collecting it from here.
Thankfully, his search of fluxygrass didn't bring him too close to the forest treeline - it was a big lawn, after all. The ingredient was spotted down a little slope, in an area he'd have certainly missed had he not ventured towards it.
He could easily pick two ingredients of fluxgrass from the fresh patch, which was in perfect condition and exactly what he needed.

Arthur grinned and picked up the two fluxygrass, glad that it wasn't nearly as bad as those nettles he had picked up earlier. He considered where he could go. The Forest Path seemed closest, he considered, so that would be his next stop. He had the jar that Professor Snape had given him, so that was a positive.
He looked up towards the sky for a few seconds before he left, trying to tell if there was much time left before dinner. He decided he at least had time to retrieve the sap, if anything, and headed closer towards the forest path.
