 Xerxes Cadwallader
Xerxes paid close attention as the Professor gave the class their instructions for the main activity of today's lesson. They were going to be harvesting today. The Professor gave the students two different choices; one easier and the other more difficult/advanced. Being a first year student, Xerxes knew his choice was clear as day. He would pick Dittany.
Xerxes put on his dragon hide gloves (which were slightly overkill for such an innocuous plant) and grabbed a pair of shears. He began by identifying the freshest bloom on the stalk first. Professor Cole had said those leaves were the most efficacious. Once identified, he took his shears and began to cut. Soon he had a sizable pile of fresh Dittany leaves.
He took his pile over the large trestle table and added the freshly picked leaves to the larger pile being made by all the other students in the Greenhouse.
"All in a day's work!" Xerxes said to no one in particular. He looked around the Greenhouse, taking in all the sights of magical plants and students harvesting. As he observed, he wiped a smudge of dirt from his forehead.
