Yawning, Bailey glanced at her watch. It was 6:23 am. good- plenty of time to get up and dressed and down to the meeting Bailey thought.
Getting up and stretching, Bailey grabbed her outfit, which she had set out the day before.
Changing, Bailey brushed through her hair. Braiding it quickly, Bailey pulled in her sweater, grabbed her bag and packed a few things into it.
Bailey packed her wand, a few reusable napkins, some miscellaneous candy, her notebook, journal, and some writing utensils, both muggle and magical.
Arriving at the Great hall, Bailey was the first Person there. It was 6:55 AM, so she hurried to grab some still warm pastries. She grabbed three chocolate filled croissants. One for her, one for Kim, and one for the club leader Lily.
Walking down the front lawn, Bailey arrived at 7:02 AM. Eight minutes early for the meeting, Bailey was shocked to see Kim already there.
“Wow Kim!” she exclaimed, walking up behind him and sitting down. “I think Coco and I are rubbing off on you- you’re becoming a morning person!” @Colin McCoire
She smirked at him, and hugged him with one arm, using her other arm to pull out the napkins containing the pastry’s for the three of them. Handing one to Lily, and one to Kim, Bailey smiled and bit into hers after saying “I figured y’all haven’t had a change to grab breakfast so I did- plus I usually bribe Kim to wake up with food.”

Kayla didn't exactly say she had woken up too well.

Usually, back at home, she had an alarm clock. Now, since electric things didn't work too well at Hogwarts (she had figured that out the hard way), she had owled her older brother to send her one of those annoying clocks that beeped constantly until you shut it off.
And that was how she woke up. To the sound of a bomb that had just went off. Kayla hadn't woken up immedietly from that, but she had been startled when her ferret was pawing at her stomach, trying to tell Kayla to turn that horrible noise off.

Now fully dressed (but poorly dressed), she was heading outside after taking an apple from the table during breakfast and puting it into the bag that was loosely hanging at her side. She had attempted to take Squeaky with, but it was so early in the morning, the little ferret wasn't getting up until later.

"Lily, Kim, Bailey. Hey guys," Kayla yawned, achieving to walk to the club area without falling asleep. Kayla realised she hadn't even bothered to brush her hair, not even atleast smooth it out. Since cutting it, she had been lazy on her hair's appearance, but automatically she ran a hand through her hair, trying to smooth it down a bit.
"Lily, do you always wake up this early?" she asked Lily, sitting down next to the Slytherin. "Because I am stumped. And tired."

my job is writing- yay fun!! Hehe Kim with the muggle trash picker upper- he’ll enjoy that Bailey thought, smiling as she was handed a clipboard, pot of ink and a quill.
Sitting with her back to the trunk of the tree, Bailey dipped her quill into the ink and started to write, the ink drying as her quill scratched away.
Bailey thoughtwhat am I supposed to write about? A short story, a description of our surrounding? I’m going to go with the latter… and then started writing. She wrote:

Wow. Today, it is quite early. Only about 7:05 AM - the sun is finishing rising now, and everything is covered in it’s golden light. It is beautiful, truly amazing and magical.
I should spend more time watching the sun rise. That, and just spend more time outside!! The flowers and slowly dying, as we are approaching winter quite quickly. The trees are turning burnt oranges and reds and yellows and brown- the leaves falling to the ground every so often. I just watched one twirl it’s way to the ground right in front of me. It fell so gracefully and beautifully- just so cool to see!!
The grass is slightly damp below me, with the dew soaking into my pants. I might have a grass stain later, but that’s ok I can clean it with a spell- way faster then the muggle way of using a washing machine and a dryer.
Anyways, I can see the lake from here. I can’t quite hear it, but I can imagine what it would sound like. The waves gently lapping against the shore, more birds all around. I can hear a few cheeping now, in the tree above me.

Bailey would stop writing when Lily told them to, and she would hand all the equipment back to Lily with a smile when indicated to.

Kayla was secretly smiling about the task she had to do! She loved art! Preferably painting, but sketching was good too.
"Sketch nature. I got it!" Kayla accepted the material from Lily and looked around the area for inspiration. It had just come to her attention that Lily handed her a quill, not a pencil. She had never sketched or drawn with a quill before, doodling, sure, but not drawing! But she could make it work. It was art! No matter the equipment you used, art can be formed.

She turned her clipboard horizontally and dipped the quill in the ink gently before closing her eyes in concentration.
This was one of her inspiration methods, she will stare at something for sevrel minutes or close her eyes for sevrel minutes before inspiration hit and her hand would move over the paper and start drawing. But her inspiration was right in front of her, why was she closing her eyes? Kayla opened her eyes and still looked in a distance, but she looked over her shoulder and smiled at Kim's pygmy puff who was approaching Lily. She looked over at Bailey and how fast she was writing. Inspiration hit her fast then. She looked at Kim and smiled again, he seemed quite interested in his job. Not to mention the picker he was using, that seemed like a blast.
At last, something jogged in her brain and she started to sketched. Her hand moved over the paper as she concentrated on her sketch. First, she started with the grass, making long spikes across the bottom of the page. Kayla looked up again.
Trees.
She started to draw the long trunk of a tree and carefully detailed the leaves. Then she did the same to many more trees. She then began to mark the morning sun, shading it so it didn't look too bright but not too dull either.
"Heh, dull," she repeated the word under her breath and laughed a bit. If her father was here, he would ask her what her definition of 'dull' meant. Good artistic times.
She then began to stare up at the sky and watched as an owl flew by, seemingly delivering a letter. Without thinking much about it, she began to sketch the owl. It was not staying still, but she could barely see it, all she could do was draw a mere shadow.

Kayla sighed and looked at her work.

Grass, trees, sun and owl.

That wasn't enough. Kayla dipped the quill into the inkwell again and scanned the area.
Nature.

She then again began to sketch, more trees, more details to the grass. Then she added a few flowers. Roses, daisys, a giant sunflower. A random giant sunflower. Kayla felt a bit tired at that point and put the quill down for a second and relaxed her wrist. She hadn't done much, but she was satisfied.

Kayla's cheeks filled with color as Lily said what she drew was beautiful. In Kayla's opinion, it wasn't much or wasn't that good. She was defiantly btter than that, but Lily seemed to like them so Kayla smiled sheepishly.
"Thanks, Lils," Kayla said, rubbing the back of her neck, "I guess it's a natural thing?" Kayla winced as soon as she said that. "Er, sorry. Bad pun." She handed back her equipment to Lily, and Bailey did the same.

As Kim came back from his adventure with the litter picker, he gave it to Lily as they were exchanging tasks. Kim asked Kayla if she had ever used a Little Picker before and Kayla answered almost immiedietly.
"Oh, yes," she answered, "At school, we would have occasional clean-up projects or in town there was sometimes events like that. Its actually kind of fun, sometimes we never even used the Litter Picker, we'd usually just put on gloves and go in groups to pick up trash around the area. It was really fun." Kayla smiled at the memories, but she shook her head and remembered her task. "So, er, yeah. I hope you've left some litter for me." the last comment was a little joke, Kim seemed to have fun with the litter picker, she wouldn't be surprised if their wasn't anything for her to pick. She handed her sketching equipment to Bailey and started walking to look for some litter.

It turns up Kim hadn't left much for her to pick in the area, he seemed to really enjoy the litter picker. So she scouted a bit further away from the group.

Was it more surprising that there was litter in a magical area or that a magical area contained litter?

Chocolate frog wrappers, bits of plastic, chunks of parchment. Heck, even stray quills. Kayla walked around, picking up the little bits of plastic and paper as she walked. It was surprising people left their stuff just lying around the area, not bothering to pick it up. At least this over what was worse in the muggle world. The area was more clean than to where she stayed, in Cardiff.

Cardiff was a somewhat clean city, but you could still see the sweet wrappers scattered along the pavement. Kayla hadn't realised her knucked turned white from all that thinking. She relaxed her grip on the Picker handle. She picked a piece of plastic and put it in the bag. How long had she been picking? Not long, probably. Her thoughts were just elsewhere. She glanced back and realised she walked a bit farther than shehad intended and turned around to walk back to the group.

Bailey had enjoyed writing, and she thought she had done a pretty decent job at the assignment Lily had given her.
Bailey smiled when Lily said it was time to switch roles.
Bailey did enjoy writing, but she was willing to trade.
I can always finish, and write more when I get back to my dorm! Or when I take a walk, it’s actually pretty relaxing… maybe I should write more, I feel so calm now!
Accepting the art supplies and clipboard, Bailey settled back down on the ground to start her art.
Bailey did have some experience in art, it had been one of her courses all through school when she was still at home being homeschooled. Bailey had visited numerous art museums and gone to lots of art classes, but bailey had peeked at Kayla’s art, and the girl had some real talent- her art was amazing, something that Bailey could only dream of replicating.
Putting her quill to paper, Bailey started her sketch. The clipboard was sideways, so that her page would be longer, like landscape mode.
Bailey started sketching what she saw in front of her- Kayla in the distance, Lily I’m front of her, writing. Kim a little distance away, focused on his writing.
Bailey smiled as she drew her friends. She truly was so lucky to be a witch and to be invited to come to Hogwarts.
Bailey added trees, the land in the distance, the forbidden florets behind it, the mountains even father behind it.
Bailey added movement, the grass and trees swaying in the breeze, some leave fall from the trees.
Movement in the lake, Kayla’s hair streaming out behind her as she bent down to pick up a particularly tricky piece of trash.
Kim’s hair covering his face as he wrote, concentration and a twinge of sadness would be seen on his face if you could catch a glance of it from behind his hair.
Bailey ended her sketch just as Lily called the ending of their second assignment.
