 ❄ Chasing Waterfalls & Wonder ❄ | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers
Hybridization of plants. It all basically was connected and when she thought about the breeding she wondered vaguely on the breeding process to conceive multiple births. Plants weren't exactly hatching babies in the same way as mammals, but grafting plants was the way plants were bred and perhaps that was why some plants spread so quickly - it was their way of breeding into multiple births.
There was practicing of spellwork. Herbology might not have been a favorite on subjects but she could hold her own when it came to spells. The trimming charm. It actually seemed rather entertaining to the third year. "Flipnsnipwitit." she giggled, wishing Ari or Johnny were nearby and knowing the latter was impossible as he was in a different country. But they'd surely find the pronunciation as equally amusing as she found it. The severing charm she was familiar with, but refreshed herself with it nonetheless, grateful for Idris practicing it as Professor Cole hadn't thought to mention it, assuming they all knew it. "Diffindo," she said rehearsing that one as well.
Enough practicing as it was time to create a hybrid plant?!? Grafting. Why had she heard that term before? Maybe as like a skin graft or something? Did it work the same way? Of course she didn't really know what a skin graft was, as she was only thirteen but she had heard the term before. Taking a deep breath, she took the rose, completely forgetting about her gloves, "Ouch!" she whimpered, seeing a small bead of blood pooling where the the thorns punctured on her thumb and finger tips. It wasn't much and definitely more of a wakeup call for the slytherin, slipping her gloves on and then taking rose again. Concentrate, slow steady cut. "Diffindo," she said focusing on the cut that it didn't go all the ay through, she glanced down, mentally crossing her fingers was pleased to see that the end hadn't been chopped off.
Taking one of the trimmings from a second sample designated, she jammed it into the cut. Grateful the gloves allowed her to tie the cloth secure around the two parts. Removing one of the gloves so she could label the stake, some blood dripped onto the stake inadvertently as she wrote, 'Tiffany Rose, Slytherin' her fingers tingling slightly. She really need a bandage.
"Professor, are there ... bandages? And how long does it take to see any progress to see if the hybridization worked?"
