Kendra couldn't believe this had happened again. She had been in the greenhouses completely conscious one moment, examining the stems of the new plants that had been brought in, and the next she had woken up in a patch of potting soil, a pink plant curled around her arm. Sighing, she had untangled it, settling it back into its proper place. It curled around the beam she adjusted, climbing up toward the ceiling of the greenhouse.

Glancing out the window, Kendra groaned. It was pitch black outside, which meant she had been out for too long, and she was going to have to make a serious effort to sneak back into the castle undetected.

Shoving her still open book bag over her shoulder, she glanced nervously out the windows. No one was in sight, so she slowly pushed open the door, grimacing at what seemed a painfully loud creak, before making a mad dash for the castle. She was breathing heavily by the time she reached the door, and after peeking hesitantly through the crack, she, chest rising and falling dramatically, squeezed in through as little open door as she could to avoid noise, closing it slowly behind her. Her blue gaze flitted around the corridor, seeing no one. With a tiny sigh of relief, she tip-toed her way up the stairs, pausing for a break at the top of the first flight.

She leaned against the bannister, gazing down for any sign of approaching faculty or prefects, and just as she was about to start up again, heard the faint sound of voices from the other end of the corridor. With wide eyes, she quickly whirled to head in the other direction, but her opened book bag had plans of its own that evening. It caught on the edge of the bannister, and as she yanked it free, her herbology book slipped free from its confines, plummeting down to the bottom of the stairs, but the sound she expected- namely of book hitting floor- was not what she got. Instead, she heard... book hitting... person? Shit.
