Beezus looked back at her spare parchment and read the third step,
"Carefully take a single fire seed with dragon hide gloves and place on top of the soil." Which means, it was time to get the seeds from Professor Bentley. Arranging the tools that she used earlier that they were now placed neatly on the side, she slid the dragonhide gloves on and walked towards the Herbology Professor.
"Professor, I'll be taking a fire seed," she said and carefully, she picked up a single one from the tin. She then smiled at the Professor as she held the fire seed on her hand.
"Excuse me, coming through.. excuses.." Beezus mumbled while passing her classmates, just making them aware that she was currently clutching a fire seed on her little hand and to prevent any accidents to happen.
Once she was back on her working area, she bent down and slowly placed the single fire seed above the soil half filled pot. Then she took out her spare parchment and crossed out the third step, marking that she was done with it.
Taking a deep breath, Beezus stared at the fire seed on the pot for quite a while. It really was a fire seed because it was glowing as if flames were going to burst any second from within it. She wondered if those plants would also grow in the muggle world for it would really be helpful during times when the electricity would go off. It could be a temporary substitute for the light.
Crouching over at her pot, Beezus silently read the next step. It was to cover the seed with more soil so she stood up and grabbed her trowel and the bucket with the soil again. She shoveled a trowelful and poured it carefully above the flaming fire seed, filling the pot completely. After doing so, she patted the soil lightly, not too hard but just enough. Then she poured out the remaining soil in the bucket back on the ground.
