#4 Gathering Thoughts

Being on her way back from the Nifflers, Amber wasn’t sure what to do or where to go next. She tried to keep an eye out for Josh’s siblings, but so far to no avail.

Perhaps they would be closer to the Castle? Arrgh, why was Hogwarts just so big? How was anyone supposed to find someone else?

She sighed, feeling frustrated. How would she find Joshua later? She had been dumb enough not to arrange a meeting spot. Well done, Amber!

Feeling a bit annoyed, she kicked a stone in front of her until it rolled into bush at the side of the path. Letting out another sigh, she looked around and realised where she was.

Ah, she had come here with her friends after their mostly unsuccessful attempt to gather Silkmoss. It was also the spot where Joshua had given her the ear studs.

As if to reassure herself, she reached up and touched one of her ears, feeling the ear studs. Warmth welled up inside of her and eased her up. Yeah, she would find him later, somehow. Even if it was at dinner.

For now, since she was already here, she could at least gather some ingredients for potions. She also needed inspiration for her assignment. Maybe she could start by collecting some Fluxygrass. Last time, they didn't have time to gather any.

Amber began to search through the grass near her, hoping to spot some.
