"Um...I don't know where we are supposed to these."Kitty took the closed bag from Ariadne's hand and began looking for a garbage can. Her bag was full also, so both her hands were occupied. She couldn't see any trash can so she put both the bags at the edge of the room. "We can leave them at the edge of the room and pick them up after we are done. Or we could ask..."

In the meantime Kitty joined Ariadne in raking leaves.

He was immensely excited for this class, too, since it had to do with one of his lessons coming up as well! Hehe. He had to stay focused on the plants, though, or they'd all come crashing down. And Paul...could not have that.

He opened the door with his free hand and as he entered the room, the baby!daffodils all began to honk...quite loudly, but he found the noise kind of sweet since they were just BABIES. They almost sounded like little ducks...

"HONKING DAFFODILS, ANYONE?" he asked as he gently set all of the pots down on the ground with his wand.

He waved at Moxley and hugged the pot to his stomach. The little daffodil honked timidly before quieting once more. "I've grown attached to this one, so I think I'll keep it for my office," he stroked one of the petals gently. "The rest of these, though, are ready for planting! Or just...you know....decorating! They're still small...but shouldn't need repotting or anything." He smiled.

This batch of daffodils had been taking up quite a bit of space in the greenhouses, so he was glad to see they would be put to use. Now he order his trees he had wanted. Yep. YEP. Speaking of space...Paul really wanted another greenhouse added on the grounds...he should speak to Moxley about this, yes yes. SOON.


Ariadne tied the bag of leaves she'd just picked up and placed the trash bag next to the first one she'd done. She'd gathered two full bags of debris by herself. She was getting REALLY tired (and tired of cleaning), but there was so much more to be done! To change things up a little, Ariadne decided to gather some of the fallen branches and limbs into a small pile, too. "Yeah, homeschooling was fun. When I was a really little kid, I loved being around my mom and dad all the time. Now that I'm eleven, though, I'm really excited to be with kids my own age all the time instead," she replied. "My mom taught Potions and was the Slytherin Head of House." She nodded when Kitty suggested leaving the trash bags off to the side. "That's what I thought, too."

With her hands now free, Ariadne began roaming around the room looking for all the fallen branches and limbs. As she gathered them, she put them in a small pile off to the side. She left some of the bigger ones where they were. The older kids would have to get those. All the little limbs and branches though? She had that! She had a pretty good pile going when the door to the classroom opened, and Professor Myers came in. HONKING DAFFODILS! Now this clean-up process was KICKIN'! "KITTY!" she exclaimed. "Let's plant some of those Honking Daffodils!" Ariadne was so excited that she bounced in place. "Thanks, Professor Myers!"

Ariadne bee-lined for the plants, her eyes wide and her heart racing. This was SO COOL! She looked them over as if she was selected the best of the very best for her project. She claimed the three loudest ones and gathered them in her hands. She'd never planted Honking Daffodils before!
