She was right that his name was Rajesh. She suspected it was, based on hearing others address him in the common room. It was good he introduced himself, though, so she didn't embarrass herself and call him by the wrong name. "I'm Lola," she replied, wondering if she was expected to extend her hand for him to shake. That didn't sound appealing to her, being a germaphobe and everything. She didn't like touching other people or being touched herself, only tolerating it from her mom, really. "Thank you for working with me," she added awkwardly, thinking she should say something besides just her name.

Now it was time to see if their flower selection worked. She tapped the earmuffs over her ears. Hopefully, they were cleaned after each student used them. Lola listed as the blue tulip began to trill gently. Promising start. Then the purple one joined with its ancient bass. Lola liked the sound of it. Hopefully, Rajesh's green tulip would join the music and not ruin things. She watched it cautiously, then breathed a sigh of relief as its music rhymed with her blue one, causing the three of them to sound like an orchestra. Yes! "That was a good idea to use green," she said to Rajesh. "Should we plant now? I follow your lead."

Rajesh simply nodded as she returned his introduction. No need to shake hands not like they weren’t completely strangers as they likely passed each other plenty of times between the common room and their house table. “You’re welcome…” he remarked with a friendly smile, glad he had taken the chance to help a fellow eagle rather than them both working alone.

With each of them tapping their respective tulips, they patiently awaited the reaction and they were rewarded with a wonderful set of sounds. Even more so when he slipped the earmuffs off and around his neck to better enjoy the moment as he let out sigh of relief. “Thanks….so was your combination.” Her duo had started it all, he had only contributed the final piece. “Yeah, I think we should.” The seventh year didn’t want to press their luck trying for a fourth component for their little trilling tulip choir.

They just had to await the go-ahead from the professor for the next step.

The purple tulip joined below the blue tone like the bass chord of an ancient organ, stately and dignified. Together they blended grandly. The green tulip jumped from a lower note right up an octave, trilling faster than the other two but still topping off the chord and echoing the note of the blue tulip. Together they sounded like the overture to a grand opera. Success! Your tulips are ready for planting in the next step (unless you want risk trying for four...) SPOILER!!: Rajesh SPOILER!!: Professor and Lola Right, they had to touch their wands to the plants to get them to trill. Rajesh nodded at the professor who was checking on their progress to show he understood the reminder, taking out his wand though awaiting his would be partner to see if they would in fact be partners and what she thought of his contribution. “Thanks,” he remarked at her comment. “And sure…I’m Rajesh, by the way,” the seventh year realizing he probably should have led with that introduction before just acting. Well they got around to it. Shifting his offered green tulip just a little bit closer to the other two, he slipped his ear muffs the rest of the way over his ears and touched his wand tip to the stem of the plant. The Ravenclaw biting the inside of his cheek and waiting to see if they got a favorable response. She was right that his name was Rajesh.
