if you wanna join in, ask in the main thread~
&& start!
Pandora sighed and tapped her black mary-jane shoe against the table wood and scratched out a line in her herbology essay. Sure, she understood the subject well enough in class but when it came down to researching plant properties she got a bit disorganized. The girl sighed and zipped up her orange and yellow zippered hoodie and pulled her hood over her head. "Great, just great." She said sadly only to push the parchment in front of her away and fell forward dramatically.
It took a few moments of silence but Pandora got up, right out of her seat and grabbed her bag, putting it over her shoulder. She left her pen and paper right there and grabbed a couple of useless books before making her way over the the herbology section. As she made her way down the isle she replaced the books she had in her hands. She shivered when she felt a draft cross her calf, so maybe the yellow skirt and orange leggings wasn't the best idea in the old castle but it matched her hoodie. If anything it made her even more determined to find a good book that would help, just to get back to her seat. Now, if only she knew what she was looking for...

Marc smacked his head. "Oh thats right..." He scribbled a few sentences and then smiled. He had just finished his Herbology homework. "One essay complete!" He snapped the book shut. It was the only copy of the book that every herbology student would need to get the answers. He had had a friend help him find it...Thank god for older friends.
He packed up his stuff and tucked the book under his arm as he wandered back into the cases of books. He yawned and turned a corner. 4 hours of reading and two hours of writing and he ended up with a 15 page paper.

Pandora's face scrunched up in confusion as she gazed over the book titles well jogging on the spot. She sub-consciously waved as she saw a familiar figure in the corner of her eye. "Hey..." She mumbled before biting her lip. It took a moment for her to stop her worrying and actually look at the person approaching. It was Marc, a good friend of her cousin and a friend of hers. Plus if she remembered right, he was good at Herbology... "You are a lifesaver!" She exclaimed as she practically ran over to the boy, but stopped short, holding back a hug. She hung her head for a second then looked up. "Can you help me? I have Herbology homework..." Pandora asked sadly with a pout.

Marc literally laughed out loud. "Just cause im a hufflepuff doesn't mean im good at herbology." he looked at her face and the way she was pouting. He gave in
Smiling he said. "I actually fail quite miserably at it...However..." He held up the book he was carrying. "This book may help... Or..." He pulled out the paper from between the cover and first page of the book. "You can take the highlights out of mine... How about we work on it... but... lets head out where its a bit brighter... plants can't live without sun... neither can humans." He smirked and shifted the book to put it back on the shelf. He would just use his essay...god only knew it was just a regurgitation of what the book said.

"But... I... but... didn't... oh!" Pandora took a second to breathe the spoke again. "I didn't mean it that way, it's just I know you are better then me at it. Or at least I thought so.... Anyone is better at Herbology when compared to me." Finishing her statement with a kind laugh.
Pandora blushed slightly at her little outburst that she would try and pass of as apology but it didn't last long when relief seemed to flood into her and she completely un-tensed. "Oh, Thank you, Marc." She said with a sigh. Pandora headed to the book self and put the last book in her arm away before turning back to Marc. "Great, my table is out that way with my paper and the sunshine." She said happily before leading the way.

Marc decided then that he would probably cut off his own arm if it meant that he could help a friend. Shaking his head with a smile he headed back to her table, following after her. He placed himself under the window and smirked. "So im assuming your paper is on the same thing as the hufflepuffs?"
He flipped the cover page over and looked at her witha smile... "So how much do you have done?"

Pandora smiled and took a seat in her chair, sitting in front of the mess she called a paper. She stuck her tongue out and all the scratched out words and pulled of her bag to start searching for a new pick of parchment. "Well, my paper is on 'The Most Commonly Use Plant in Potions'. You would think that easy but there are so many plants used in potions! ... Ah ha!" She said then pulled out a piece of parchment and held it up victoriously.
Pandora held out her essay and gave a weary smile. "I got some down but it has a lot of mistakes, I will have to re-write most of it and continue on from there." She explained. Sure, she could easily removed the ink with a simple charm but merging the words into proper sentences was hard work when she could write it all out. The blonde picked up her ball-point pen and pulled the cap off. "So, think you can help?"

He smiled. Reading over what she already had he smirked. "Ummm...first lets get the right plant.... " He shook his head glancing through his paper... "The most common plant is actually ginger... Its most common use is for wit potions... however because some use it for flavor... it became the most used plant." Nodding he flipped a few more pages...

"Really? Ginger?" Pandora said with confusion written on her face. "Is Mandrake anywhere on this list thing, then?" She asked well, starting the list with a big number one and the plants name beside it. She then jotted down what potion it was known for and the thing on its flavor but made sure to write out proper sentences and that her handwriting wasn't messy. "Okay, so Ginger. Great. What about Bat Wings or Bezoar?" She said, wanted to be an active member of the discussion and work instead of just getting all her info from Marc without trying.

He nodded. "At least that's what i had found." He shrugged. "The mandrake was on the list. Although i don't rightly remember where. " He shrugged again. "Its just a report on that one plant right?"
He smiled. "So i would go on more with the topic of ginger than on the topic of the potion... I started by going back to the first people to discover the herb." He smirked. "However, there none to be found..." He shrugged "So i simply put that the herb was found and used as an early medicine. "

"It should be just on ginger but I planned to do two. Maybe get a bit of extra credit. I can certainly use it!" Pan said with a laugh. She started writing down that no proper founder of this root could be named and went on about how it was used a cure for an upset stomach. She paused and re-read her paper. "It is used for curing an upset stomach right?" She asked to no one in general but since Marc was there she turned her gaze away from the essay and looked at the boy.

Marc nodded. "Yep thats right..." He frowned. He had just written this paper... He really didn't want to write it again. "Lets take a break." He smiled and snatched her pen. "Lets go out side... play... Catch!" He smiled... "I actually have a baseball on me. "
Well lucky for him he was carrying his lucky ball. He had a test today... and he wanted all the help he could get. "Come on just for a wee little bit."

Pandora dotted her 'i's and crossed her last 't' when her pen was grabbed from her hand. She jumped slightly in her chair and looked up at Marc curiously. Her face scrunched up as she thought deeply for a moment. "Baseball, baseball, baseb- Oh! Right! That muggle game. I guess we can give that a go but no laughing at me." She said voicing her thoughts at first but caught herself in the moment and made it seem normal. The girl out her paper back in her bag and put a hand out, motioning for Marc to give back her pen.

He smiled and handed her her pen. "Really? You will play with me." He had trouble finding people who wanted to toss a ball back and forth. He glanced out the window. "Its just such a gorgeous day... I can't imagine staying in here all day." He Pulled the tattered old ball out of is coat pocket. "Lets go!"
