So they had repotted their mandrakes during the class and now they had to take care if them. Benny was fine with that as long as he didn't have to worry about their screaming and wrestling again. That had been bad enough to deal with the first time even with the earmuffs to muffle the sound and keep them all from falling unconscious in result. Now to was the more usual caring and keeping of a plant. Albeit one whose roots looked like ugly human babies in a lot of ways.

Benny shook himself from that image as he made his way down to the greenhouses, ready for the latest visit to his plant charge. As a precaution, the Gryffindor paused and put on a pair of earmuffs since they had to careful if his or anyone elses had freed their pseudo-mouths from the dirt. He slipped into the appropriate one, Greenhouse 3 this time, where they had been stored and walked over to the pot marked with his name, his gloves slipped on as he neared. There didn't seem to be too much trouble around today and his appeared okay.

'Shall we keep that the case?" he absently mused aloud as he double-checked it before slipping oout his wand. "Aquamenti!" he cast, starting a stream of water to give his change a drink, ending it with a silent finite when the sixth year thought it suitable. The plant in turn squirmed a little in response to the water but not enough to struggle from its dirt home as Benny cautiously kept alert of that possibility.

"Just helping there mandrake..." he commented in hopes to sooth the plant. It seemed to work and the Gryffindor boy was able to switch activities, getting rid of a few small little weeds that had taken their chances around the mandrake since the last time he had checked on it. There, the plant seemed to be doing better already and not in the need for more care at the moment. So he took his leave and headed back out of the greenhouse.

He was done...for now.
