A Good Book, Good Art, and a Friend Finished

"Do you want to go to the Greenhouse? I think it'll be pretty fun! We can also learn more about magical plants! I think it'll be useful for our class later..." she began.

I agreed, the Greenhouse would be nice, especially so we can become oriented before our first Herbology class.

Then the perky Slytherin started again, ""And I can teach you about the ingredients they use for potions!" Amaya grinned.

""Sorry, kinda obsessed, if you couldn't tell... I mean, it's not like I've been rambling about it for the past half hour of so..."

I smiled, she sounded a bit like me.

Amaya shrugged. "What can I say, Potions are just too interesting... Well, for me. I suppose that tons of people can hate Potions..."

Potions did seem cool, but Divination or Defense Against The Dark Arts might've been cool-er. I wanted to wait until my first day to pick one. I was still so excited! I wondered who our Potions teacher was...

Amaya sighed. "It's truly a shame, how many wizards and witches don't truly appreciate the art of Potions. Can't wait for my first class! Oh! Have you been to a class yet? They sound pretty fun!"

"Sorry, rambling again," Amaya muttered. "So, is it okay if we go to the Greenhouse? It's okay if you don't want to! And is it okay if I bring some parchment for us and ink and some textbooks for identifying and showing you stuff? And Muggle Rock, huh? The Beetles? Sounds familiar... But I'll be sure to check it out... At some point..."

I laughed with my friend, and responded, "I'd love to go to the Greenhouse, and those recipes sound interesting! I'll go get the textbooks and ink, you find parchment!"

I raced off towards my dorm, and yelled, "Meet you at the Greenhouse!"
