Henric was mostly quiet throughout the whole discussion. He rather listened to the answers given then coming up with his own. He couldn't help but to stifle his own laughter at how ridiculous some of their answers were. Brilliant, weren't they? Oh, he didn't bother drawing the rose diagrams because he could always duplicate a copy of their notes with magic if he asked nicely. Anyway, it was time to gather at the front of the room.

Wait say what now?!....Their TEA WERE SPIKED?! Great, professor Myers...not you too. Oh well....he couldn't do anything about it now because he felt the changes already bubbling in his system. He was beginning to shrink! Oh man...he shouldn't drink so much of that tea, was he going to shrink even more then the rest of the class now? Once he was fully shrunk in size, he tilted his head up to see the roses towering above them. "Cool..."he grinned.
Riddles? Sure, bring them on. "Ready, Professor M." Thumbs up.

Abby couldn't believe that they were going to shrink she should have known that something was done to the tea but she had trusted the professor so it was all good and was she was kind of excited about the next part of the lesson

Rooney Bronwyn, who was also supposed to be a prefect, was being RUDE.

The moment he finished speaking, Katherine GASPED loudly as she turned red - she was embarrassed for him, but he didn't look unfazed at all! Even though she secretly agreed with him too (Blaise had always claimed magic was stupid, but had he really tried hard enough?), it still didn't mean it wasn't rude or inconsiderate. WHO elected him as a prefect, again?

Worried blue eyes turned to Blaise to hear his response, but he didn't look heartbroken. She believed he gave a nice answer - but then... then he left. Like - gone out - withOUT a permission - from a classroom.

Katherine had made such a great decision by ending their friendship. She did not want to be associated with a rebel at all.

She mentally winced when professor took points, but he kind of had to, so she just shrugged and hoped people would be nicer to each other. She noted that Daxton and a girl she didn't know were also leaving, then compared the drawing of the professor with the one in the textbook. She... didn't really need to add more to that, so she patiently waited for the next part of the lesson. Oh, they were told to get up and gather at the front. She did so as she was careful to stay close to the professor to hear what he had to say.

He said they were going to be shrunk into a rosebush.

At that instant, everything began to grow around her. She gasped again and instinctively tried to hold onto something, but it was happening too fast. All she could do was keeping her balance - which was a game of her brain, she knew, but she still couldn't help it. The ground wasn't shaking, but her perception changed and it was dizzying. At last, it was done: she was a tiny girl beside a big rosebush and she hated the professor. Nothing was exquisite or beautiful about this. They were the bigger creatures for a reason, and that reason was...

...insects. Insects did inhabit plants, and some insects were carnivorous, and...

Her face went pale and she began sweating coldly again. No. Nononono, NO SIR. This man was the Hag-in-disguise, and he was going to have aaaaaaaaall of them eaten. Nope. She wasn't having it - but oh she so was, because there was no way out of here now. She didn't even hear the explanation, all she looked for was listening to the outer sounds for a buzzing and looking at every single movement with utmost fear.

"Wh-what if-an insect comes inside, sir?" she asked shakily. Did the power of his magic shrink with his body, too?

Lalalalalalalalala.

Sha watched the professor labelling his drawing as they mentioned all of the different parts before he completed it himself. She grinned as she drew a rather awful copy of the picture and labelled it along with her own notes - only for the Professor to say he wasn’t likely to test them on it. Welp. Advance warning would have been nice so she didn’t waste her time… Oh well. It had been fun to attempt to draw.

Crossing her arms lighyly, she waited to be told what was going to happen next and then her mouth fell open. WHAT? ”We’re going to shrink? But I’m already tiny!” She protested… not that THAT did any good as she FELT herself shrinking. Her lips moved into a pout as she looked around their class for someone - anyone - who looked as upset with this development as she was… But they probably liked seeing what it was like to be a little person in a room… she already knew!

….

Well, maybe she didn’t know it EXACTLY. This was tinier than even her… BUT she didn’t want to be this small. URGH. She wanted to be tall! Could he not have made them GIANTS?

Re-crossing her arms over her chest, the redhead tried not to be so visibly annoyed and waited for… well, whatever would come next. Seemed she was in over her head today.

So her answer hadn't been nothing elaborate but it had been correct and that was good enough for her. At least she had even answered. And whatever commotion happening with some students whom had gotten up and walked out was already passed her. It wasn't her business.

Notes was her business however. Once more grabbing her quill Hady jotted down the rest of the notes as well as the sketch of the rose. Drawing had become easier for her since her lessons in portrait painting, only she didn't have time to be completely perfect here. Once her notes were taken she pushed the parchment and quill aside to take a nice long sip of her tea. The brunette would've liked to have drank more of it only the class was being told to come and stand around the bush. With a small sigh she set down the teacup, rose to her feet and walked over to stand with everyone else.

Tucking a lock of hair behind her ear she listened as the lesson was somewhat explained to them. They would be shrinking down to a tiny size due to the tea they had drank. Wait...shrinking?!

Hadleigh grinned! Awesome! Her hazel eyes sought out Zeke for a brief second wondering if he remembered years ago when they had learned to shrink things during a lesson. How they had talked about shrinking each other and such. That had been so long ago already.

She was ready though. And as she felt herself getting tinier and tinier she couldn't help but look around in amazement. Her feet touched down on soil of the rose bush. It was so cool! A lot like changing into an animal for lessons and seeing things at a different view point only she was still very much herself. Whatever was about to happen the Professor could make it happen, she was ready.

ROOTS! YAS! He knew things about those... he did. Plants couldn't function without rooots!

But then... there were SO many parts of roses that he was easily getting bored - despite the drama - he ignored the drama... it wasn't for him. When at long last they got to the whole clarifying the parts of the plant with the text reference pointed out to them, Zeke was ready to make a mental note to practice labelling a diagram of it when Myers expressed that he wouldn't be assessing them on it.

OKAY.

And what was more.... their drinks were spiked.


HA!

He knew there were good reasons not to drink things Professor's gave them! HE ESCAPED THE SPIKING! Sucked in for everyone that didn't.

Only... he wasn't off the hook. He managed to catch the look on Hady's face before he felt his stature diminishing.


FKHADBWIDJOAJSAOJS!!!!!

With only enough time for the realities to dawn on him, Zeke managed to change his expression from one of triumph to one of disdain. He was being shrunken anyway. Fine. FINE. Though he could have done it himself, thank you very much.

Small in stature, Zeke peered from the dirt up to the rose bush. Like.... it was HUGE... how exactly were they supposed to look after these things???

Vivian sent another big wide GRIN to Professor Myers. He also received a two thumbs up from the Slytherin. One thumb being "you're most welcome, your Majesty!" and the other being "I love this lesson woooot woooot!" And if she had another thumb, she would've given him a THREE thumbs up for not quizzing them on the parts of the rose. Merlin knew how horrible that would turn out for the eleven year old.

Gather in a circle! Ooooh, was it sharing time? Game time? Vivi didn't care a bit. She hopped off her seat and skipped near the Professor and joined the rest of the students in forming a circle, even if it... didn't really look like a circle. But at least it was a round figure. The next thing Vivi knew it, she was already SHRINKING. "Uh... Professor..." she said. "Is it me or are you getting taller?" OH. LOL. Everyone in the class actually shrank. LOL. Good one, Professor Myers. Totally caught her off guard! GIGGLY GOO.

They were going to be ROSE BUSH EXPLORERS! Tiny!person Vivian bounced and bounced and bounced. Soooo exciting!

Bec couldn't help but grin at the blush on Fiyero's face. Really, she had only been joking. No need to blush hehe. But still, she didn't want to embarrass him further so instead she focused on the DRAMA that happened between the Ravenclaw Prefect and one of her own House mates. From what she could make out. Gryffindor boy didn't want to be learning magic and in all honesty, she agreed with what the Ravenclaw Prefect had said. Though she also thought he could have said it a bit differently. The way he had said it had been too harsh, even Bec could sense it. But perhaps Mr.Prefect was too fed up with the Gryffindor and that this thing between them had been going on for years.

She did follow i-hate-magic-Gryffindor with her eyes as he left the Greenhouse but before she could ask anyone around her what had just happened, the Professor called them all to the front. Wondering what was going to happen, Bec forgot about the DRAMA in a second and walked over to the rosebush.

Shrinking solution?! Had she just drank a potion without knowing?! Her mother would be so disappointed... The first year felt the effect work and soon she felt herself shrinking. She overheard the question about an insect coming inside and instead of shivering, Bec turned to the slightly older Ravenclaw (Katherine) and held up her hands in a fighting stance. "We'll just boom kick POW! them" And she started fighting the air.

Mason stared at the Professor in utter bewilderment. . . he just spiked their tea. . .? HER PRECIOUS TEA! Why the hell was he so casual about this??? Was this even legal????

Obviously Myers had an obsession with Alice, cause he seemed to be taking the exact route that the book had taken. . . hopefully he would feed them in the end, so that they could grow. ;___; She wished that he could let them grow, since she was still a lil Hobbit-person.

And since there was nothing that she could do about the whole Shrinking-business, she was gonna go to the front and join them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What else was there to do? She wasn't gonna storm out the way Weird-Gryff-Dude had, cause that was just lame.

She got up from where she sat at the desk and made her way to the front, glaring at the discarded cup of tea that she had left there. It had betrayed her and all that she ever did was love it. Anddddd they were staring at a Rose-bush. . . how fu-

MERLIN, was the rosebush getting bigger or was the potion kicking in? Obviously is was the latter, since duh, rosebushes could just magically GIANT-EFY (that needed to be a word) Mason's stared in awe as her surroundings giant-efied, wondering whether or not she'd die on this expedition, cause she was probably gonna get squished. . . or eaten.

#YOLO

Well whatever all that was, didn't bug Torrance one bit. School Drama was stupid, you'll never see Tory get into School Drama. That was dumb. Those guys are just looking for attention and Torrance thought that was dumb dumb dumb. From what he knew of Blaise he was cooler than that. So maybe there was just something about all the craziness that got to him? Whatever.

The Young Lion just kept downing the sugar packets he kept in his pockets. No one was stopping him from this so he continued at them. Once the Mister Professor Myers called them all over he went. Stood in the circle and his Jaw dropped when he said that they would shrink.

SHRINK SHRINK SHRINK SHRINK SHRIIIIiiiiiiiiiii


HOLY CRAP THIS WAS AMAZING!

The Sugar rush probably hit the young lion a lot faster now because of this. The balls of his feet were bouncing on the dirt, his knees wobbling with excitement as if the dirt below him like their were small tremors coming up from it. His hands not knowing what to do with themselves kept clenching and opening his fingers shaking with sheer joy!

INSECTS! Tory ran to his Rival Kate Moss, and shakily grabbed her by the arm before taking it off her and just kept a huge grin on his Face. "We TAME THEM! Then Fly through the Sky Like they were out Winged Mounts!" He almost felt like he might need them though. His feet were bouncing so much he could just lift off himself. "We'd Tame them then name them then train them to do crazy awesome tricks in the sky like barrel rolls!" Just just just OMG This was great.

Tiny Torrance!!

They. Were. TINY!!!! Landon couldn't help as he ran over to what seemed like a giant Boulder and try to climb on it to see things better.. but it was too big and he was too little. He stomped around in the soil as he kept looking up at the roses ABOVE them. HOW COOL!


Cousin Professor was totally his new favorite.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Cornelius sat at the edge of his seat, an idiotic grin plastered on his face as he eyes went back and forth from each boy. Hmmm...he was betting on...the 'Claw PREFECT. Yep. The boy even took out a spare coin and set it on the table. Come onnn...

Oh. There goes tiny lion, bye bye. Cornelius shrugged and tucked his coin back into his pocket. Would've been fun to see a fight, you know, for educational purposes. His gaze went back to the professor, who seemed to be distraught. Yeah, yeah, what he said, but like...did he adore Cornelius, too?

That was the real question here.

They were back on the lesson. Cornelius nodded three quick times. "There you go, Professor. Anther, I meant anther." Herbology wasn't his strongest point BUT Cornelius was open-minded and liked when he was redirected to the right path. Props to Queeny here.

For the next set of directions, Cornelius got off his bum and squished his way through the forming crowd of classmates, ALL the way to Myers' side. Move it, stinkers. OMM. Spiked tea?! HE DRANK SPIKED TEA HE WAS SO COOL. The boy got a sense of thrill and tried not to think of HOW much tea he consumed.

And he was SHRINKING. He raised his arms up in the air as his body lost height....small...small...smol....TINY. Was this how Ant Man felt? Except Cornelius had a wand, therefore he was more amazing.

Wait riddles were next? He was GOING TO DIE...from excitement! His growing or shall we say shrunken body couldn't handle it. Then he heard an important question. Very important indeed seeing as he couldn't nom on any insects at this size. He peeked his head out from the crowd of students towards the source of the voice (Katherine) "We can pet it...or startle it. I doubt they've seen us folks this size, might confuse and frighten them away."

To be totally honest, Olivia was a bit confused as to what had just transpired here. One moment, she and Rooney were beaming and gushing at one another (because BESTIES5EVER), her fingers coiffing his hair......and in the next.....Well, a lot of words were being spoken and because she was a bit slow on the uptake (to be fair, a lot was going on), she'd missed 85% or them. Her one takeaway, however.......was that Blalse and Rooney were not huge fans of one another.

That made her so sad.

....and her Blaise had left? Why?....AND points were being taken away, not that Liv really understood the whole concept of house points. Sure, it was a nice thought, working towards the House Cup as a group, but eh...? The blonde tended to lose a lot of points and that made her kinda indifferent about it. IT WASN'T HER FAULT, OKAY?! She was just free spirited, and sometimes the Professors didn't understand her! Mostly.

"Twinkle twinkle, little bat, how I wonder what you're at? Up above the world you fly, like a tea tray in the sky."...was Liv's only response to Rooney's mutterings, her own voice dropping decimals to enact some dramatic stage whispering. No, no cupboards for you, Rooney, our love! But we were interested in some Beauty and the Beast waltzing later, if you weren't too busy with being a boss. Just so you know!

AND SHE COULD KEEP THE CUP. Stage 1? C h e c k! Stage 2? Figure out how to animate it......because Olivia's transfiguration skills were nonexistence at this point. TRULY DISMAL. Actually, there weren't words invented yet to describe how terrible she was at the subject, which was DEPRESSING. All she wanted in life (along with food and her pointe shoes) was to stand in a field of flowers and animate them to dance around her. That's it! HER DREAMS WERE DASHED WITH HER FAILURE.

Oh, look. She'd gotten distracted again in her own mind.

Wait. What?!

There'd been no time to contemplate shrinkage, as she'd already started to dwindle in size. What? WHAT?! THEY WERE ABOUT TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE....A TINY SIZED adventure....among the roses?!?!?! How very Tiptoe Through the Tulips this was. BUT YAS. OLIVIA WAS HERE FOR IT. BRING. IT. ON. #Gryffindor ALSO, OLIVIA COULD TOTALLY BE ALICE, TOO, AND SHE AND PROFESSOR MYERS COULD ENACT SCENES IF HE WANTED!!!!! Sigh. Perhaps later, though, because the lesson and everything. SHE JUST WISHED HOGWARTS HAD A THEATER CLUB.

As an aside, the even SMOLER smol blonde discarded her tea!soaked tiny robes....marveling at how HUMONGOUS the roses looked from this angle. There may have also been stars in her eyes. Professor Myers may (or may not have) just elevated himself to No. 1 Professor in her eyes. Could they have lessons like this everyday?!?!?!?

"Professor Your Grace, may I have some more tea?" Was he planning to share? Hmm? But yes, other than that, she was ready. AND ROONEY, PLEASE DON'T GO ANYWHERE. We'll need your beautiful Ravenclaw mind in solving riddles, because....her brain was rather problematic regarding those.

Here she was thinking that she was late as she slowed to a walking pace right before she entered the greenhouse. This time she wasn't out of breath and it wasn't for the lack of late night taco indulgences. Nope. That still happened, but she made a point to be even more active. She was pretty sure this canceled out the stuffing of her face. Pretty sure. AJ had just enough time to slip in and snag a tea before the professor burst in - rather dramatically too- she might add.

Normal people probably had that sinking feeling when the professor went on about somebody painting his roses. Which, by the way, who would do that? What was the point? But, AJ didn't. In fact she didn't even flinch because never in her life had she seen this man mad. Not to mention that she handled crazy pretty well. It was going to take a lot more than that to get a reaction out of her.

When a question came up, instead of actually pondering what the answer would be she instantly thought... magic. Yup, that the first thing that came to her mind. AJ Valentine, a seventh year student came up with that. Yup, this chick was ready for university. Of course if she really tried better answers would have come to mind, but it seemed like the others had that covered. Instead she giggled to herself, and promised that she would try harder next time.



Temperature. Well, that was interesting. AJ actually didn't know that which was a shame because her very own sister was a plant freak. She meant that in a good way! Speaking of that, she really didn't even need to take notes all lesson because she had her very own walking, talking plant 'know it all' that lived with her. So much for trying harder next time. She totally meant next lesson anyways.

People were naming off plant stuff left and right and AJ nodded and smiled in all of the right places. That counted for something, yes? Besides, it was hard to get a word in anyways. AJ was listening though and supporting her fellow peers. Besides, the firsties were the ones who needed to know this stuff. She was good.



Wait. They were going to shrink? AJ sat up a little taller and made sure she had her listening ears on because this lesson had gotten even more interesting. The seventh year looked down at her drink and smiled. That tricky old man. The students that didn't even drink were going to be shrunk 'manually' HAHA. He had thought of everything.

People were shrinking all around her and she had to fight the urge to pick up her neighbor just because she could. Before that thought had time to become a reality, she was shrinking herself. Awesome.

Looking around, she could see the professor's point. It really was a different view this way. Whoa, baby. AJ really appreciated a hands on lesson. Riddles though? Did she look like a Ravenclaw? Either way, she was ready.

Let's do this!!

Janelle listened to all of the answers that her classmates gave and watched as the professor drew parts of the rose. When told, she went up to the front of the room and formed a circle with the other students. And then.......the big reveal. Their drinks had been spiked with what? She knew it! Janelle had a feeling that something was up and for that reason, her tea sat untouched in front of her.

They were going to shrink. Shrink! But Janelle hadn't drunk her tea yet. Apparently Professor Meyers had taken that into consideration. Before Janelle could ponder the thought that they were about to visit the Land of the Giants, she was shrrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnkkkkkiiiiiinnnnnggggg. Well Janelle hadn't seen that coming. She was now a very mini version of her former self, standing in soil. Looking up, she saw the rose bush that now seemed to be the size of a giant redwood. The roses did seem kind of cool from this new perspective, but........she really wanted to be big again.

Since they were going to have to solve riddles, Janelle knew she had to have her wits about her. She tried not to focus on how small she was. Instead, she had to focus on the task at hand. With a sigh, Janelle waited for the professor to give them instructions. She was glad that she still had her wand, just in case.

Jaemin felt as if he was doing pretty well with this class today. The yelling and fighting and everything that had happened made it a bit difficult to focus himself, as thinking about sciencey stuff was difficult with so much distraction, but he was sure he was holding it together pretty well despite that. Wasn't overwhelmed yet. The small boy hopped out of his seat and moved to the plant with the rest of the class, looking at it curiously.

Until Professor Myers said that he had spiked their drinks. Jaemin's face dropped a shade or two, and he took a half step back away from the plant, alarm bells going off in his head. Why would he do that?! Jaemin was already small! He didnt need to be smaller. As much as he enjoyed experiments... he liked to be informed of their details beforehand, you know?!

The plant was getting taller. Jaemin made an uncomfortable noise and covered his eyes with his hands. DID NOT LIKE. NOT ONE BIT. He felt so weird and uncomfortable and why did the dirt look so odd when he finally did open his eyes? The already diminutive Slytherin, now in new Tiny Cute Pocket Size, looked around nervously, feeling at his even tinier than pocket-sized pockets for his wand. Just in case.

O_o

Azura was glad that her answer had at least been right. She was feeling a bit better about her participation in the class. And she had thrown some Ravenclaw in there for knowing the ACTUAL name for the "thorns" on the Rose.

But then everything went crazy!!! Azura hadnt even been remotely suspicious about the tea.. But she hadn't drunk any because of.. Reasons.

Yes. Reasons.

And now.. She was little.

As if she wasn't little enough all ready!! Everyone towered over her normally! Except for Jaemin! They were around the same height, but now..even a ROSE was taller than her. She sighed softly as she tried to get her footing in the dirt.. So far she hadn't fallen this term and she would like to keep it that way, thank you very much.

She looked up at the Rose.. Which now looked like a tall tree..and so.. She lay down in the dirt.. Looking up at the petals and smiling.. This was a nice view..

Paul glanced at Katherine. And to be honest, he hadn’t thought about it...but…”Don’t worry about the insects. We have our wands if need be,” and he just HAD to chuckle at little Rebecca’s response. “No BOOM KICK POWING them today! But also, I wouldn’t recommend petting a giant bug, Cornelius--”

HA! Precious students.

“Not just yet, Olivia--you can have some more later AFTER the activity--” he grinned. Was everyone ready?

“SO EVERYONE--I will say the riddle, and you all can discuss, or figure it out amongst yourselves and then...DO the action, all right?” He had made up the riddles himself, so they were probably very lame, and he KNEW It, but oh well. He didn’t mind it, heh. Made things a little bit more interesting at least.

“The first riddle is as follows:


This first clue is easy. I promise you this.
Don’t think too hard, or this clue you will miss.

It comes from the ground and sky,
so don’t dig too deep or fly too high.
My roses need this to survive!”

He chuckled. HAVE FUN KIDS!


OOC: lol, so I made these up with Paul’s silly help so I’m really sorry if they’re SUPER lame but you know. IF by any chance people are having difficulties, Paul will help them out, but I am doubting they will be hard...not yet anyways xD Catchup posts allowed as long as you LABEL it as such, please.

Azura looked up from her bed on the soil as Professor Paul started to speak.. Hmm..

She listened carefully to his riddle as she slowly sat up and brushed the dirt from her hair..

Her hand went into the air as she answered..

"Water. " She said simply..

Right? So that meant they needed to water the plant..

Uhh.. How?

She was little. Hattie had already been little, but now she was even smaller. She didn't know if she liked it. She hoped the professor would be able to get them back to their normal side. They wouldn't be very good witches and wizards if they were tiny. But she did think that the Roses looked very pretty from this angle. She hadn't seen a flower from this angle, so she did like that. She would have to write about this in her journal so that she wouldn't forget about it.

Ooh. The first riddle was coming. She tilted her head to the side as she thought about it. The thing came from the sky and the ground? And a rose needed it to survive. She hummed, thinking about it. Well. Water came from the sky right? And she guessed the Rose's roots got the water too. so. Water? She looked to her right as someone spoke. "Yes... I think it's water too" The first year nodded. "It falls from the sky... then the roots suck it up from the ground..."

As he moved closer to the rosebush, Dalton's relief that he hadn't drank any of the tea was practically palpable. For all of six seconds, anyway. As Professor Myers raised he wand, he felt himself physically cringe away from it and emit a very audible groan.

I should have walked out. I should have walked out. I should have walked out. was the one phrase he kept repeating in his mind as he felt himself shrinking and being delivered to the underneath of the rose plant.

The smell was even more overwhelming than it had been when he was big, and that was saying something. Dalton made sure that his dagger eyes towards the Professor were obvious. This was not okay. He didn't want to be shrunk. It was the last thing he would have ever asked for.

And he wanted to be normal sized RIGHT NOW.

As for the riddle. "Water." His answer was the exact opposite of his dagger eyes: blunt. Quick. Short. As for 'doing the action' Professor midget, as he was going to be known by the Slytherin from NOW ON, well, that just wasn't happening.

NOW THEY WERE TALKING!!! How AWESOME was that they were all super tiny!?!?!? Matt was suddenly not bored anymore. This was COOL! "WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!

He was too busy already going around and touching the earth, shrubs, tiny buckets and pretty much everything else he could reach - which technically wasn't much - to even listen to the riddle. To be honest, he wasn't too worried about what they had to do during the lesson. But HEY, he did hear people wondering what would happen if they saw a GIGANT BUG. Whoa, that would be AMAZING!!! Matt hoped with all his might that it would happen.

In fact, he wanted to go look for them. Nothing better to do, no time to waste. So BUG HUNTING IT WAS!! "Bzzz bzzzz bzzzz bzzzz..." Was he making the right noises? What kinda bug would that b- A BEE. Yes. That sounded like a bee. HOWEVER that wasn't exactly the type of insect he had in mind. He wanted to see creepy crawlies, not bees. But if the creepy crawlies also flied, that would be pretty COOL. Matt was already making plans to tame and ride them.

"BZZZ BZZZZ BZZZZ BZZZzzzzzZzzzZZZZ MMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" He would have to test new sounds soon because surely that wasn't the only noise insects made. But he couldn't think of any other types of insect sounds. If only he had been more observant while out in gardens.

This was not the worst thing that had happened to him at Hogwarts.

This was not the worst thing that had happened to him at Hogwarts.

This was not the worst thing that had happened to him at Hogwarts.

Jaemin repeated this mentally to himself a few times, completely missing how sad that actually was in the grand scheme of things. He was still rather anxious about being so tiny, but... there was hardly anything he could do about it currently, and it didn't seem like Paul would be bigging them up any time soon because he was currently carrying on the lesson in his swishy weird dress.

He just had to catch his breath and calm down. All would be fine.

The easiest thing to do to make himself feel better was to focus on class, and on the task at hand. The small boy was having one heck of a time actually paying attention to anything other than the fact that dirt looked so weird when you were tiny, but he tried to force himself to listen to Professor Myers.

The riddle was... actually fairly easy, which was odd because Jaemin sometimes struggled with things that weren't straightforward. The Slytherin blinked at the professor for a moment before pointing his wand at the ground.

Didn't know a spell to make it rain, but he could make water easily enough. "Aguamenti."

He was still a bit shaken, but the water stream came out rather steady anyway, soaking easily into the soil and turning it darker. He cast pointed glances around at the rest of the class as well, hoping they would... hurry up and do it. He wanted to be big again, and getting through riddles seemed the fastest way to get there.

Azura looked around and she slowly stood up as some more of the class seemed to get the answer to the riddle was water.. But.. how did they water the gigantic rose? Not to mention..

How did they not drown in the wet soil once the rose was watered? She had some fears about that.. She really didn't feel like sinking into soil right now. At least it would be soft if she fell?

Bright side?

Azura brushed the dirt out of her hair and quickly braided it back from her face so it fell in a long plait down her back. She brushed the soil from her robes and then looked around some more.. seeing if anyone had any idea of how to water the rose.. before..

Duhhh..

Azura's purple eyes landed on Jaemin as he said a quick spell and water poured out of his wand.. She sighed softly as she shook her head. Where was her head? Obviously not where it should be, that was for sure..

"Come on guys.. let's use the water spell to water the plants." Like Jaemin was doing, because he was the smartest one here..

"Aquamenti." She said as her wand started to spurt water and she pointed it at the ground, watching as the soil soaked up the moisture.

The first thing Brooklyn had done once the shrinking had stopped was to move a little way away from the group. Obviously the rose was a lot bigger then they were now, and she imagined that if they were supposed to take care of it, they couldn’t all be clumped together. All that remained was to find out if Professor Myers’ voice would still carry, and she didn’t doubt that one bit. She doubted he had the capability of being quiet. Subtlety was obviously not possible either, if the costume meant anything.

Thankfully, her theory was proven as she still managed to hear the riddle that had been posed to them as a group. Working with anyone else wasn’t exactly something she featured happening, unless Hady had wandered over, or anyone for that matter. She was perfectly fine dealing with it on her own, especially if they were all as easy as this one was. “Aguamenti,” she murmured, pointing her tiny wand near the roots closest to her and watching as the water drenched them. Now to wait for what’s next.
