Lysander got lost trying to find the Herbology greenhouses for the second time this week. His terrible memory seemed to have kicked in, and he didn't want to explain to Professor Sprout that he got lost getting to her class yet again. Professor Sprout made it quite clear that she would only cut slack for the first years for the first two weeks of school. It was near the end of the second week and Sprout's patience seemed to be waning.
Lysander wished it was easier for him to remember things, but he knew wishing wouldn't do anything in a situation like this, so he kept walking in hopes of finding someone to help him. He was out of luck until he spotted a girl, possibly a third year, with long hair in a very unusual but pretty color. It was sort of a mahogany brown that seemed to glow red when the sun hit it right.
I wonder if something lives in her hair to make it so unusually colored…Maybe I should ask her. He, feeling bold, walked up to the girl with the long, unusually colored hair.
"Excuse me…" Lysander said. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Are you lost?" The long haired girl asked.
"Yes, but I have a more important question for you. What makes your hair so pretty and so unusually colored?" She raised her eyebrow, confused at what Lysander was talking about.
"Blame my parents for my weird hair color. I don't do anything special to my hair except wash it daily. Is there any reason you ask?"
"I find your hair really pretty, that's all. I'm Lysander Scamander, by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Lysander, I'm Roxanne Weasley."
"On to my next question, Roxanne, if you don't mind me asking," Lysander said.
"Go ahead, although you're bound to be late for your next class now," Roxanne explained with a chuckle.
"Where's the first year Herbology class room?" He asked, genuinely confused.
"Come with me, I'll show you. It's not like Binns will notice if I miss his class…"
Lysander was eternally grateful when he finally arrived at the correct Herbology greenhouse with Roxanne, although it was awkward trying to explain that Roxanne wasn't a new student to the Herbology class.
He remembered to thank her as she left.
