"What kind of plants?" He asked, peering closer. Not that he would really know the different kinds. "Do you like plants? Like Herbology?" Obviously he liked these plants. Olly had not known anyone before who had such an interest in plants except Professor Myers who taught Herbology.
Oh this was so awesome. Jaemin squirmed and shifted around, carefully picking up the box and settling it in his lap. As he held it, the hard wooden sides seemed to flicker a bit; Jay barely noticed at first, because it could have very easily been the lighting, but a moment later it was even more obvious. The colour and grain of the wood faded into smooth, clear glass sides.

"Coooooool," he whispered, running his finger along the edge of the sliding glass top. He looked up at Olly, smiling brightly. "These are from his experiment, that's why they're all tiny. See?"

He pointed at a small patch of very tiny dittany, growing next to equally small hellebores. It seemed his father had sent him more mundane plants than magical, but that was okay! Jaemin had quite enough magical plants at his disposal in the greenhouses here, where he could bother Professor Myers to tell him all about them. The professor was nice, he'd even let Jaemin look at stuff in the big bad greenhouse.

Did he like plants? "I love plants," he replied, flipping the lid over to remove the taped-on envelope that he hadn't noticed until everything had turned to glass. "I'm gonna be a proper Herbologist when I grow up!"

Instead of the tiny, not-proper Herbologist he was now.
