QUOTE=dingDong;10494980]Lola almost forgot about the whole Potions Storeroom being caught on fire, obviously done by the horrible Dungeon Dragon (she had the silver scar on her finger to prove it) and in remorse, looked at her scarred finger and was deep in that fiery memory. She really didn't think of it as much of a damage to the school until she realized that there wasn't a back-up storeroom that affected much of her fun Potions plans this term. That would all have to wait for next year and she sighed thoughtfully before looking back at Sierra. "Do you see, Sierra? The Potion ingredients were so vulnerable and innocent! The person setting fire to that room--A COWARD!" It wasn't fair. The dungeon dragon must be slayed.
She stopped what she was doing when Sierra stated that she would name her seedling... Lola...
WAS SHE FINALLY GETTING THROUGH TO THE CHILD?! This was Mothers Appreciation Day, wasn't it?! "That's," she sniffed, "so beautiful!" If her hands hadn't been rigged up with dirt, then Lola would be hugging the girl to death (she would have hugged her anyways but felt a sense of consideration and was so awfully kind right now).
"I'll name mine Fernando."
Did the girl expect Lola to name the seedling after her in exchange? No, it wasn't that simple. See, the seedling was just calling out for the name Fernando and what could she do--snatch away its true name in return to do something nice? That was simply unlawful and Lola wouldn't do it--but that seedling obviously looked like a Lola and well, everything was just so reasonable. She remained quiet for now and started patting like the girl told her to, patting the ground now in an enraged fashion like she did with the shovel. What now?
"I think we have to leave them now..." she gulped. "Isn't that considered child abandonment?"[/QUOTE]
"Yeah, I'd like to get a hold of whoever set fire to the storeroom," Sierra mumbled, still packing in the dirt around her seedling. Again, she wasn't up to talking about it too much. She might even throw the shovel again if she thought about it. She'd been so sure the culprit would be caught by the end of the school year, but no. They'd gotten away with it. She tried to think about who might have a vengeance against Lafay, but the only person she was able to come up with was Headmaster Tate, and she doubted seriously he'd do something like set the storeroom on fire.
"Yeah," Sierra said,
"..sweet." She guessed. She'd really only named the tree Lola, because she figured the real Lola would have a fit if she didn't. The last thing Sierra wanted was to hear even more of that ridiculous mouth the girl had on her. She considered naming the plant Lola her way of playing it safe.
"Child abandonment? Hardly," she said, pushing herself to her feet. Again, she was about to say something to make Lola happy. Mainly because Sierra was ready to go, and she couldn't really leave if Lola was bellowing unnecessarily.
"The Sun will take care of the children." She grabbed her wand and added,
"...and you're not finished either. You have to water your tree." Sierra raised her wand to her planted seedling. "
Aguamenti!" A stream of water shot from her wand, giving the seedling a nice shower. She kept it that way for a little while and then she ended the charm and withdrew her wand.
"Now I'm done," she said, and then gestured toward Lola's wand.
"After you water yours, we can go." On second though, she should just bail while Lola watered her tree. She would have, but she couldn't. All her materials were scattered all along the ground, so she reached down and started picking them up and putting them back into the bag.
