Adelie suddenly felt a giant push and tumbled to the ground. Her cheeks became bright red as she landed, cursing out, [b]”’inkeypunks an’ pixies,”[/b] under her breath, turning and pushing her hair away from her face. She looked up at one of the Ravenclaw students, recognizing Scott fairly quickly. In the classes they both took together, they often joined in getting the better grades among their classmates. And she tended to notice academic excellence. Not as competition, but to admire it. So she smiled and just laughed a bit as Scott apologized and helped her up. She took his hand and shrugged a bit. [b]”’s’no problem,”[/b] she said friendly like, brushing herself off while he left to get closer to the hut. 

Addy looked up from her now mostly dirt free robes to see Hagrid coming out of his hut. His surprise made her giggle, though when he said they’d be heading into the forest she hesitated. She hated that forest. She didn’t like to talk about why, but of course it all started with the fact that it was well… Forbidden! It was like breaking a rule to just go near it. She bit her bottom lip though, telling herself he was a teacher and it was daylight after all. No need to be a ninny.

Pushing her resolve forward she followed, trying to dissect what the half giant could possibly mean by Scrubbles. [b]”Scrubbles sounds like a rather ‘armless name… mus’ be quite a dangerous creature,”[/b] she smirked, speaking out loud just to those near her. By this, her last year, she’d learned no matter how cutesy a name Hagrid picked, the animal was more often than not something not furry and small.
