Summary: Hermione's earning a bit of extra credit for Professor Slughorn and Ron comes along, but something unexpected nearly happens that causes them both to become extremely awkward with on another.
Hermione didn't really need the extra credit she was going for. She was already the top of her year, but when Professor Slughorn asked if she would collect one of the Potion ingredients from Greenhouse four, she couldn't tell him no. To further entice her (even after she agreed), he added on several points to her last Potions essay as a means of thanks. Originally she had planned to do it alone, knowing it wouldn't take her more than an hour - two tops, but as she passed through the common room, she had spotted Ron playing with his Wizard's Chess set by himself. She had invited him and though he was reluctant at first, she reminded him that he did owe her for helping him when his wrist was broken, and only then did he agree to help her.
They were to pick only the yellow petals found on within Greenhouse four and they only needed about two pounds worth of it. Explaining what they needed and how to gingerly pick them off while avoiding the thorns that surrounded the stalk, she pointed to a batch next to her before squatting down and getting to work.
