SCOTLAND! Another safe topic!
"No, unfortunately I've never been. Mum isn't so big on traveling..." Frank explained. "Sounds cool though! I did go to Canada this summer with my Uncle... but that's about it." He quickly ran out of things to say. "So er... d'you like Scotland?"

"I like Scotland, but I like London too. I mean, I live in Scotland, so...well, actually, I live about half an hour away from here, but I have to go to London for the train, so...yeah, um, Camden..." Still babbling, and not even coherently. She shut her mouth with a snap. "Um. Canada sounds fun. I've never been out of Europe."

"Oh, cool. Near here? Wow. Uhm yeah, I mean Canada sounds cool, coz' it's overseas, but it's really dull." He explained, the hint of a smile on his face. His mind quickly went back to the list, and Sirius' additions to it. "So does that mean you can get to Hogsmeade? Like, from your home... I guess it wouldn't take that long..."

"I suppose I could," Alice mused, "but then it wouldn't be as much fun to go with friends. And a lot of my friends are Muggles, so they couldn't go either."

"Oh, right. Of course. Muggles. Yeah. Mum was never big on me making friends with muggles. Complicates things, she said. Though there was this really nice boy who lived in my apartment building." Frank rambled, rolling and unrolling his sleeves. "So I guess I've distracted us enough with my stupid questions... shall we start with Herbology?" he asked, somewhat defeated. So much for his safe list; it would've been better to not have brought any of this up at all.

"Tell your mum from me that nothing can make a teenager's life more complicated than it already is," Alice told him with great feeling, turning back to the plants. "Right. Um. This is a Fanged Geranium seedling. Erm, that is, Geranium Ictus. When they grow up they'll look like this." She grabbed his sleeve and dragged him to a row of fully-grown plants, with bright thorn-like teeth circling the centre of each flower. "Don't touch them with your bare hands, they have a taste for flesh. But they're very useful for...um..." Damn, what were they used for? All thoughts had flown from her head the moment she realised she was still holding Frank's sleeve.

"Oh my. They look rather menacing as seedlings, even." Frank said with an awkward laugh, just as Alice took his sleeve. He allowed her to pull him over to another row of plants, eyes all the while on her hand. Holding onto his shirt.
She is touching my forearm.
"R-rahses?" he mumbled, not able to tear his eyes from her hand. He had no idea, of course, but he'd adopted a rather successful policy of always guessing rashes if he wasn't sure what a herb did. Rash was such a broad term, so often he was correct (though he did lose marks for not specifying what kind of rash).

Following his gaze, Alice whipped her hand away as if she'd been stung, crimson. "Crap, sorry, muddy hands! Erm...what was I saying? Oh. Um. Geranium Ictus. Geranium Ictus. Potions! It's used for a lot of complex potions! Um. Liquid Luck, and, um, several l-love potions, and, um, and awful lot of poisons, and also some wizards use Fanged Geraniums as a guard, um, precaution, um...you know, anti-intruder..."

"Oh it's okay!" Frank said a little too loudly, looking away from his sleeve to the plants. He thought she looked kind of cute covered in dirt. Cute in a completely platonic way, of course! "Right. Okay. Geranium Ictus. Potions and anti-intruder. Got it. I uh, think I do, anyways." He forced a laugh, and finally chanced looking at her.

She risked a quick smile, cheeks still flushed under the mud as she twiddled stray hair in one muddy hand. "Um, great, I, um, sorry, I'm not too good at this...let's see...what else? Oh, it's got a lovely smell, if you're brave enough to sniff it...it's native to Eastern and Central Europe, and it likes cold air, temperate climates and dry, alkaline soil, so it grows well in Britain too, you see...you have to water it no more than twice a week or so if you're growing them indoors. They're pretty, really, apart from the bites...um, there's actually a clump of them growing just outside Hogsmeade, and some on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, too. Um, does that all make sense somehow?"

She actually caught his eye for a moment...oh man, his blue eyes, so sweet...and blushed even harder. The thought rose in her head before she realised it; Now would be the perfect moment to shut me up with a kiss.
