It was the same feeling she had whenever she thought about Bubotubers. She had had to deal with those her first two terms and was VERY glad that Professor Bentley seemed to think that they had endured enough torture.

Removing her wand from her pocket once more, Kurumi knelt down and pointed it at the base of the bulbs. “Aguamenti,” she said softly and a small but steady stream of water poured forth from her wand. Once the ground had darkened and was moist to the touch, she moved on to the others she had planted into the ground.

Once that was done, she stood back up and looked around the greenhouses. What was something that wouldn’t give her a matching black-eye? Her violet gaze fell on a patch of Abyssinian shrivelfigs. Those were harmless enough, yeah? They weren’t going to try and feed off her flesh or whack her in the face, right? She remembered reading that they needed pruning every two weeks, and it certainly looked like these were overdue. Not to mention that the ground around them looked rather dry and unfertilized as well.

Kurumi looked back at Jonathan and nodded her head towards the supply table. “Let’s grab some sheers and trim the shrivelfigs next,” she chirped – her mind now completely off whatever had been making her sad before. Her hair, however, was still the same color, but at least her mind was distracted with the task at hand. “Cutting sticks and leaves out of the way will bring them closer to the air which is vital for its magic process.” Or something like that.
