Now she could practice this tree growing spell. She was just about to pull out her wand to give the movement a go when she remembered... THE WATER. A bit dramatic, and totally not her style? Maybe, but water was crucial if she wanted her tree to all big and strong like the professors. She wanted her tree to be the biggest of the all. Big dreamer over here.

"Aguamenti." That was one spell that AJ had down. Once the soil seemed to be nice and hydrated she stopped the water flow. NOW she could get on with practicing. The lion felt kind of dumb for practicing the wand movement since it was a flick and who couldn't flick? There was a chance that if she didn't practice the flick, that her arm could forget what to do in mid incantation and then result would be trees on fire EVERYWHERE, and a furious Bentley. Plus, they had just saved the plants and such, and how terrible of luck could Bentley have when it came to her leafy little friends? AJ flicked her wand. You are welcome head of house. Crisis averted!

Now it was time to get the incantation down. She was only thinking of Bentley. Herbivicus. "Herbivicus... Herb-ivi-cus." AJ rolled the word around on her tongue until she was sure that she could say it without causing a forest fire. Heh. It was go time. She was ready. Let's make a tree in five seconds flat.
