Great. A practical exercise now. Removing her scarf and tucking it into a pocket with her parchment and quills in her bag, Heather wore her gloves and proceeded with the task at hand. She read the instruction on the board.

Take a cutting off the original specimen, 20 cm long.

since she wasn't really efficient with using the spell the professor suggested, she decided to use a knife-CAREFULLY. Going to the front, she took one and approached the endangered plant.

Must she really cut 20cm long from this plant? It was too beautiful to experience any cutting, but if this would help make more of the said specimen, she has no choice. It would be really great to see more Stubby Purple Corals around.

So she went and measured 20cm and after assuring it was on the right length, took a deep breath and took a cutting off the plant. She opened her eyes to see that she had done it, and there's no turning back now.

she then moved to the back of the class to proceed with the second instruction.
