And he was well-accustomed to digging holes with his wand rather than a shovel, so he felt he could be rather precise about it.

Once he finished both of his holes and made sure they were properly measured, he turned his attention towards their professor again as she wrote out instructions for them. Straightforward and simple. Hm.

As he went to retrieve a watering can, he heard the Hufflepuff prefect's concerns. It was a fairly good point and he was curious to hear the professor's response, but he wasn't entirely sure that was a pressing concern for these types of trees. "It's not necessarily an invasive species though," he said, not arguing but simply providing his viewpoint. "Some species of plants and animals can be introduced into other areas and be beneficial. Cats, for instance. There wouldn't be any in this country if they hadn't been introduced by sailors who had them on their ships to keep rodents away, and sailed here from distant countries." Not that it was exactly the same, but they had been introduced without being a detriment to the ecosystem.

*chuckle*

"True......but this is still hardly something that a Herbology professor should encourage, no?" Okay, now she was truly just busting everyone's chops. She actually had exactly zero stakes in the whole thing, since she really didn't care, except possibly hearing what the Divination-turned-Herbology-professor might say.

She pulled herself back to the task at hand and checked her watch. "Class, we only have a few more minutes before our time is up. Please continue with your last steps and make sure you have placed the final drop from the container by the seeds on your tree." She took the few steps over to the table and pointed to the vial to make sure everyone knew exactly what she was talking about.

"If you haven't had a chance to finish decorating your trees, that's perfectly fine. You have two weeks to finalize any decorations before I need to know where you would like for your tree to go." She reached under the table and picked up a box containing bright red tags and bright green tags. "If you would like for your tree to decorate Hogwarts, please attach a RED tag to the trunk, just above the soil. If you would like your tree donated to St. Mungo's or to the Ministry of Magic for decoration, please attach a bright GREEN tag to the trunk. You can choose a different place for each of your trees. It's up to you."

"Once your supplies are returned to their starting location, you are free to go. Thank you for your hard work today."

OOC: Time to finish up! The final tasks are to clean up and, if they are ready, place a tag for where they want the tree to go. This will be open for about 24 more hours. If you would like to continue decorating the tree after the lesson closes, you are welcome to use the Flower Garden thread. The tree field would be located on the South side of the garden. Thank you all for coming to the lesson!!

Which was apparently nothing? Okay, then. Be like that then.

As for her trees.....well, they were the appropriate height and had the second potion added. But nothing else had been done. Not that she had really wanted to decorate them anyway. Yes, she was usually that person that stood around pretending to help decorate but was really doing absolutely nothing at all, so sue her.

Archer gathered her things quickly and left with a "Bye!"
