"Right so aside from the common sense, follow the classroom rules regarding safety... gloves, goggles etc. there are a number of things we need to consider when planting fire seeds. They are not particularly high maintenance, but there are a few crucial things to remember. The first, is temperature. You do NOT want to extinguish your seed using the Glacius Charm or by drowning it in cold water. Secondly, fire seeds do not require much, if any nourishment... so fertilising is not required." Seren paused to let this information sink in and plant themselves in the students minds. She had a feeling some of them would be pleased to know there wouldn't be any dung involved this lesson.

"Now take a moment to read and note down these instructions, you'll need them soon enough," she said stepping to the side to let the light from the torches shine onto the blackboard.

After waiting a short while for students to write down these notes, Seren stepped forward to continue the lesson.

"Now before I get you to start the process, you first need to know how to perform the Chaudensis Charm. This will charm the pot to heat itself."

"Please DO NOT take out your wands just yet, I want you to practice the incantantion without the risk of blowing something up first..." she said eyeballing them all.

"Repeat after me... Chaudensis... Chaw-den-sis..."
Seren observed and listened as the students practiced the incantation.

OOC: Practice the INCANTATION ONLY. Lesson will resume in approximately 12 hours.

Zayden had been silently taking notes in the back of the classes, away from EVERYone because he preferred it that way when he struggled with his studies, and kept a close eye upon the teacher. He scribbled all the instructions that were on the board on his piece of parchment in his, what his sisters called, "hippogriff scratch" handwriting.

Once the instructions were on his paper, he looked up at the Professor when she pronounced the incantation they were suppose to use and he just felt his heart pound against his rib cage. It wasn't just a small incantation he was suppose to recite either; it was a BIG one with lots of his words his mind would like to switch out.

Meh.

He whispered to himself now so nobody else could hear him, "Cahw-ned-sis..." No. "Cwah-dne-sis..." Again, no.

He raised his hand into the air now. "Professor, could you pronounce that one more time?" You know, for the dyslexics in the room... or maybe it was just him. *mellow* It was always just HIM. The odd one out. The black duck in a pond full of white ducks.

SPOILER!!: Responses "You're on the right track, but no we don't use manure for these seeds. Not until they're grown and even then only a minimal amount is required." Seren nodded, yes obviously location was important for a number of reasons... but it wasn't quite what she was looking for, until.. "Ahh yes, certainly, the key is too keep the seed hot enough beneath the ground." Erm.. "Well, yes, those are important, but I was asking about plant care not people safety." They had rules in place for that. "It's generally a good idea to cool the seeds down before handling it, but in this case it would just place the seed at risk of not germinating." Extinguish the fire? Seren eyed her prefect. "Uhhh no, I wouldn't recommend that, the seed needs to be alight in order to survive and grow.... putting out the fire will only kill it." "Ahh good point Kurumi, we most certainly do use water, but there's a trick to it, which we will get to," she said with a wink. "You're on the right track, we don't actually fertilise fire seeds until they have germinated, and as for water, there's a special trick with that," she replied brightly. "Sort of... we do use water, but there's a trick to keeping the seed active." "Mm yes, that's why we have classroom rules, but I was thinking more along the lines of caring for the seed..." because plants were more important than students? "Yes, excellent!" "That's an interesting... and seemingly logical thought, though no, we do use water." "Yes, that would be a very good idea..." following rules was sort of essential to not being kicked out of the classroom... but it still hadn't really answered her question. "I was asking more for what would benefit the seeds." "Yes, I'm sure fire seeds... like others wouldn't appreciate being stepped on." ... Interesting response. "Yes very good, temperature is something we definitely need to consider with these beauties." "Yes, place is important, obviously fire seed bushes prefer dark, damp and more enclosed places." ... clearly. Or had the child not read the class rules before? "I was asking for from a caring for the seed or plant perspective." Another SAFETY issue... "well yes dear, but I was asking how do we care for the seed or plant... not what's around it." "That's an interesting point, but no we do use water... only there's a trick to it." Which they were going to learn today... obviously. "You're sort of on the right track. Certainly the fire seed benefits from the darkness, but warm soil is essential for it to grow, as is water." "Not a bad theory, but surprisingly, no, fire seeds need little nourishment." "Yes! precisely, maintaining a high enough temperature for the seed to remain active is crucial to its growth." "Not bad idea, but no... the fire seed requires very little nourishment." "Nope, not in this case... we don't want to risk extinguishing the seed and thus killing it." Seren smiled, amused by the idea. "I assure you dear the seed wouldn't be extinguished by moving too fast, the warmth radiates from within... it would take a lot more than a little bit of a breeze for it to burn out." "Yes, very good." "Yes, and no... it depends how you define special," she mused. Resisting the urge to smirk, Seren simply nodded. "Well that is a good idea... I was asking more in terms of caring for the plant though."
