Hogwarts RPG Name: Alexis Ducky Boge Third Year | Alexis tried hard not to sneeze as she worked on her flowers, they were very pretty but the smell has always to strong for Alexis to be able to fully appreciate them, it was sad Alexis mother had always loved flowers and if she was totally honest with her self she was finding this lesson better then any they had last year, for once she felt like she understood what was going on in this class.
With a sneeze Alexis finished her woke and quietly blew her nose before showing her flowers to the Professor  |

Put them into one of the pitchers of water. Then you will pick a vase and a packet. These packets contain powder that will turn the water into a colorful potion which will freeze the flowers' look as they are for about a week." | Steelsheen approached the Professor's flower collection. She paced back and forth trying to decide which flowers to clip off. She was having a tough time selecting not because she couldn't make up her mind, but because she really wasn't a flower person to begin with. Finally she settled on white calla lilies. She liked them best among the whole collection as they were elegant and clean looking, beautiful in its simplicity.
She clipped off a good dozen, keeping the stems long as the Professor instructed. On her way back to her work bench she paused to grab a large glass bowl and a handful of large smooth pebbles. She lay them all down on her work area and started with the flower arrangement. Oh man I really suck in this she thought as she held the calla lilies in her hand, testing different arrangements.
Slightly frustrated she lay the lilies back down and decided to work on the vase. She stared at the large glass bowl, intending to use it as the vase, as its roundness contrasted nicely against the slim stems of the calla lilies. With her wand, she kept changing its colors, seeing which colored glass looked best. Again she wasnt having much luck, and finally decided to cancel out her spells and leave the glass bowl clear. She carefully lay the large smooth pebbles at the bottom of the bowl, then took one lily at a time and slid them in randomly, snipping the ends to vary the height and used the pebbles to help prop them up. She stood back and looked at her arrangement, unhappy that the calla lilies looked scrawny and few, even when there are a dozen of them in there. She scoped the greenhouse for something to add with the lilies and saw a plant with long veined leaves. Taking a handful of those she returned to her work bench and added them to her flower arrangement, inserting them between lilies. Now there's the volume I'm looking for she thought finally being able to smile.
She took the pitcher, adding the water and the powder and proceeded to mix its contents vigorously. She then poured the solution into her glass bowl, preserving her flower arrangement. Quote: |

Until then, homework!" | Aww nuts, this is what I get for taking too long to decide on the flower she berated herself as most of the class have finished and been graded. She approached the Professor and cleared her throat to get her attention "Professor Korvis, here's my flower arrangement. I used white calla lilies and a few leaves. I really couldnt decide on what other flower or color combination to use." she said sheepishly as she presented her flower arrangement:

Hogwarts RPG Name: Melina Fay Roscoe Second Year | Hearing the professor's following instructions, Melly nodded to herself and set off in search of the perfect vase. Thankfully, it didn't take her long to find it out: a white, straight vase. It was very simple one and yet she knew it would fit her own bouquet. At once, she filled it with water before walking back to her flowers, a packet already in her hands. After shaking it a bit violently, she poured the gel into the water, immediately wrinkling her nose. Ugh, that looked horribly disgusting.
Still, for as much as she didn't want to place her beautiful bouquet in that slimy gel, she knew she had to do it or she'd get no points at all, and that could not possibly happen! And so, she placed them inside the vase with a lot of care for she didn't want the flowers to change places or she'd have to get them in place again and that would take far too long.
Finally, Melina moved a few flowers slightly before she was pleased with what she saw. The bouquet itself was quite simple, just like the vase, but it was easy to see that it had given her quite a bit of trouble. The red roses and red-violet flowers were all spilled on the bouquet in a way that no flowers of the same colour touched each other, a quite hard task since there were just two kinds of flowers and two colours in the arrangement. As for the baby's breath, well, those could be found here and there in small quantities. Finally, surrounding the bouquet was some more baby's breath along with fern.
True, it was not the best arrangement she had ever made since not her favourite flowers were present there, but still, she knew that the one she had done was very lovely indeed.
With a beam on her lips, she turned to the professor again. "Is this alright, professor?" She asked. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: vivianne (via) nat Second Year | Via busied herself choosing flowers with compatible colors. She had tried to keep the flower's stems long as possible. She loved flowers but she wasn't in with flower arrangement.
She went to find a vase for her flowers. A black vase captured her eyes, it looked so plain yet so elegant. How am i going to do this? she thought. The outcome might be awful.
Via filled the vase with water, a packet clutched in her right hand. She mixed the content of the packet with the water and after mixing it, she slid the flowers inside the vase.
Gazing at her work, made Via grin. She had made it. Mum will love this.
"What do you think about my flower arrangement Professor?" Via asked, since she wasn't an expert, she's expecting criticisms.  |

Lorraine J. Brothmeister Magical Transportation | Amelia couldn't help but feel proud when she earned points for her arrangement. So what if she got the same points as everyone else; the Professor said she put effort into and that made all the difference. Bah; egocentric? Definitely!
Then the professor announced her favorite time of class; homework time! With a nod, she wrote down the homework into her planner and then waited for class to be dismissed since Professor Korvis didn't specifically say it. The last thing she wanted was to leave before it was allowed. |

She looked around. "Well, if you have already presented your arrangement, then you are dismissed!" She looked down at her construct. "Put that on the floor or something now. Hopefully it won't get trampled."
It did just that and at her next command, turned into a little puff ball, which she clipped to her waist. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Isabella {Issy} Cortella Third Year Ministry RPG Name:
Morzella {Mozzie} O'Niel Diagon Alley | Blue. Issy knew that the color arrangement she wanted would have something to do with blue. Scratching her head, she eyed the flowers, all the many colors. Finding a pretty bunch of bright blue flowers, she clipped a few of them. Nice bold blues. Pondering that, she then found a few smaller flowers, in yellows and pretty yellow-orange. What an interesting color! This would do well to pair off with a few bluebells and some tiny little yellow flowers. Happily, she hummed to herself as she poked her flowers into their water pitcher, arranging them and playing around with them.
Next came the hard part. Vases. So many of them! Big ones, little ones, tall ones, short ones, round ones, skinny ones, clear, opaque, translucent. Yellow, blue, red, green, purple, pink, spotted, striped. Uwaaaaaah! Which should she choose? A white one seemed too plain and though pink was her favorite color, it wouldn't match well. Finally, she found a soft, royal blue color that she selected and hugged to herself for a moment. Afterwards, she filled it with water and as the Professor instructed, she poured her packet into it. Shacking it around, she giggled.
"Oh!" she gasped, happily. "The pretty colors! And the bubbles!"
Her next few minutes were spent happily arranging flowers in the gel, moving them around to find how they best looked. The blue ones popped out in the array of yellow and white and little blue bells stuck up and around in various random manners.
"How's this?" the beaming girl asked the Professor, holding out her vase to the Professor. "Did I do alright? Is the yellow too bright?" |
