LuLu smiled final step since she hadn't stopped mving in a while she hadn't noticed the cold air of the greenhouse and how damp and gloomy it was, she took out her wand and pointed at the plant "Aguamenti," she muttered.. "Scourgify," she whispered. All done..
"Five points from Ravenclaw for not following directions," she said with a horrified expression on her face. "You were to use a watering can, and required BOILING water... pay...more...attention!"
Rushing over to the girls pot, Seren began to siphon of the water, while adding more warmth to it... MAYBE the seed would survive.

"Five points from Slytherin for not following directions!" she said again. This girl clearly didn't have a watering can, and clearly wasn't following directions.

She filled the can up and said "Chaudensis," and waited until bubbles formed in the water showing that it was boiled up good.

How much water was enough? She checked her to-do list again and saw that you only needed to pour a tiny bit of water until the soil was moist. Okay. That seemed easy enough to do. She picked up the watering can, which was quite heavy and sloshed some on the floor which had almost burned her skin and sprinkled it slowly into the soil. Then Violet placed her finger on the soil to test how wet it was and was glad to feel that it wasn't flooding the soil.

Violet was glad her mother had taught her a bit of gardening and crossed off the last thing off her to do list. She raised her hand and waited for the professor to check on her pot just in case she had really done something wrong.

Text Cut: Violet's to-do list
1. Charm pot to heat itself.
2. Fill half of pot up with soil and let it rest for several minutes to warm up.
3. Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil.
4. Cover fire seed with soil, so that pot is filled. Pat the soil down a little (not too much, you don't want to suffocate it).
5. Water the fire seed with boiling water, without drowning it.


For boiling water, add water (via aguamenti) to the watering can and heat it. This will ensure you 1. control the temperature and 2. don't over water your seed. Use a VERY small amount, simply enough to moisten the soil.
"Excellent, it looks good dear," she said with a smile.

She asked since she had never used the spell before.
"The same spell you used to heat the pot dear," she said with a nod. "Chaudensis."





Noticing that a number of students were finishing up, she figured they could be dismissed.

"Once you have finished planting your seed, please move your pot over by those bushes there," she said indicating a particularly dark corner of hedgerows. "Don't be worried if some of the vines come down and try to hug you, like I said earlier they're just a friendly bunch. Once you have done this, and your work space is clean and tidy, you may be dismissed. Have a good day!"
