Glenn carefully covered the fire seed with soil. She loved Herbology! She hoped that this plant wouldn't take too long to grow, she wan't to see what it would look like.
She patted the soil downed gently and smiled. She was almost finished. It didn't seem like she had done anything wrong...yet. She crossed off another instruction in her journal and read the next one. Quote:
1. Charm pot to heat itself.
2. Fill half of pot up with soil and let it rest for several minutes to warm up.
3. Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil.
4. Cover fire seed with soil, so that pot is filled. Pat the soil down a little (not too much, you don't want to suffocate it).
5. Water the fire seed with boiling water, without drowning it.
For boiling water, add water (via aguamenti) to the watering can and heat it. This will ensure you 1. control the temperature and 2. don't over water your seed. Use a VERY small amount, simply enough to moisten the soil.
