She was going to set this thing on fire. If it DARE hit her nose again, she would. It wouldn't matter if the professor saw or if he took points. Beverly Juniper Wayne would NOT be ridiculed by a plant. Just no.

Holding the plant down with both hands on the table, her arms shook at the bouncing bulb attempted to jump--and most likely have another go at her face or shoulder. Well, that wasn't going to happen. Her eyes flitted to the pot. Right at this very second she wished she had a third arm. As it was, she didn't.

A plan. She needed to strategize.

Wincing as the bulb gave a harsh push upward, Beverly pushed it down. It was going to do as she says. Every time it wanted to go up, she'd make it go down and--oh. Plan right there. She eyed the pot once more, then her hands that were currently encasing the bulb against the table, or trying to.

It was now or...she'd fail.

Counting to three, Beverly released the bouncing bulb, watched it as it bounced up into the air and took her wand out.

"Flipendo!" The bulb hit the table with a bit more force than intended as her spell hit, making it shoot downward. It shot upward, towards her face. Beverly aimed, her mind calculating the path the bulb would hopefully zoom in if she cast the spell on time.

There! It was right where she wanted it. "Flipendo!"

The bouncing bulb, hit by the spell once more, was thrust back diagonally from Beverly's face, and with a THUMP it hit inside the pot. Brows rising up in surprise she had actually been able to accomplish it, Beverly rushed to her pot and clasped her hands over bouncing bulb punching it once and added soil into the pot, half way as directed.

Oh my Merlin.

This...it had been exhilarating! What a rush.
