He wrote down the correct answer and then blinked several times when Bentley told them something to do with hugging their tree.

Wait. What?

Hugging a tree?

Simon blinked. He had never hugged a tree before. Would that help the tree grow more? He was unsure. His younger sister always hugged trees and claimed that she was help making them stronger but Simon would just stare at his little sister with blue eyes as large as saucers. Yeah... He wasn't a tree hugger but if Bentley wanted them to hug trees, he'd hug a tree.

Without wasting another moment on relieving the memory, he set to work. He needed to plant the seed. Looking to his left, he found the pot and made a nice deep dent in it with his hands so that the seed could be tucked away in. As he was digging the hole, he overheard some of his fellow students talking about naming their trees. Simon just blinked. Uhh.. Was it necessary to name them? If so, then what would he name his? He covered the seed with more dirt until he could not see it anymore.

Beautiful. Now what was next? Oh right. Time to water said plant.

Wiping the dirt off of his gloves, he pulled out his wand and pointed it at the pot. "Aguamenti," he said. When the plant was watered enough, he whispered, "Finite!" and then moved onto the next step.

He glanced at his notes.
