And she could tell exactly who it was by the sheepish look on their face.
Eden.
"Watch what you're doin'!" the Ravenclaw hissed, eyes narrowed at her dormmate. Honestly, if she couldn't control her magic she shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere near her wand. Besides, she hadn't ever performed magic before coming to school and she wasn't going about injuring people. She didn't make anything else of it however mainly because she wanted to finish this task before the end of the lesson. Get the credit and all. Look good in Professor McHotty's eyes. Not that she'd ever call him that face to face or out loud for that matter.
It was all in her head.
Straight faced the fifteen year old headed to the desk to collect the plant pot that they needed and brought it back over to her workbench keeping a large enough gap between herself and Eden in case the other got a little trowel happy. She filled up the pot about half way using the soil because she couldn't be bothered to measure it out correctly. She was pretty certain the plant wouldn't be that fussy over how deep it was in the soil by a couple of centimetres right?
But then again, who knew with all this weird magic stuff?
Eden would keep an eye on Dot, but...she needed to get back to work! Potting Bulby--sure, it wasn't the most creative of NAMES but that was all right. She had some questions for the Professor--so...she would ask them once she had this all done. She had grown quite attached to Bulby already, in this short amount of time. She wondered...hmm...
Right.
She took a deep breath, and she was about to start the repotting process when Layla SNAPPED at her. Eden's blue eyes grew wide..and she bit her lip. Her cheeks flushed, too, and she felt bad and embarrassed.
"S-sorry, Layla--" she said, and she looked down at her lap a bit. Oops.
"It was an accident..." she said quietly. Crud. Now she was feeling all non-confident and stuff--but she had to get this done. So she took another deep breath, watched Layla move very far away, and...got her wand ready in case Bulby decided to TRY anything.
Eden's hands shakily reached forward, and Bulby began to FLAIL about and BOUNCE--yeah, he was really bouncing! Eden would have been amused had he not almost BOPPED her in the nose! She quickly waved her wand and cried
"Flipendo!" before scooooping it up in its shock and plunging it into the new pot. Bulby was bouncing around again, clearly NOT happy about being repotted. But he was staying put, and Eden quickly dumped more soil onto him so that he could be NIIIIICE and cozy in his pot.
There.
He was finished. And wiped her hands on her robes in accomplishment. Yeah! Bulby was settling now, and she raised her hand.
"Professor Walton--I really like my plant--his name is Bulby--would you perhaps let us come visit the plants we repotted throughout the year?" She asked, completely serious--she liked him. Bulby WAS CUTE OKAY? "
I want to watch him grow--AND BECOME AN ADULT BULB!'
