Erm, well, Nadia did not even have enough time to answer her question, because the Herbology Professor had started addressing them. About time, too. She listened intently for the instructions, and after Virohsa had placed the two rolls of parchment, Alex walked over and read them. Well, she was more interested in the one about the Greenhouse Caretakers, but she also read the Plant Caretakers one too, out of curiousity.

Truth was, at first she wasn't exactly pleased with having to clean the Greenhouse, she would have prefered the plants. But when she noticed the list of duties, which included feeding biting plants, she felt rather lucky for getting the job of cleaning the Greenhouse only. Mind you, it wasn't as much that she was afraid of the biting plants, but they were not exactly pleasant to be around or to go near and try to feed them.

Now, the first thing on the list was to sweep the floors. Well, that was not difficult. Except for the fact that you had to move between the rows of plants, and, sooner or later get near the biting plants as well. With a small sigh, she got up, but stopped dead in her tracks. Where in the world were the broomsticks? She scanned the Greenhouse carefully when she noticed a door on the right side.

Slowly, she proceeded towards it and placed her hand on the doorknob. ACK. It was locked. Grabbing her wand out of her pocket, she muttered, "Alohamora!" while her wand was pointed straight at the door knob. It made an odd clicking noise and the door unlocked itself. She opened it and was ready to step inside, when she noticed that this room was crowded with biting plants. Yes, biting plants. With a small squeak, she grabbed the door and shut it. That just proved that sometimes you gotta keep your nose out. Literally.

And still, she had not found the stupid broomsticks. Noticing another door, she walked towards it. She turned the door knob. Well, at least this one was not locked. When she opened it, she found herself inside a cupboard. The broomstick cupboard. With a small sigh of relief, she grabbed a broomstick out of there and left the door opened for anyone else that was searching for broomsticks.

She quickly moved between the rows, sweeping them. Once she reached Nadia and a Ravenclaw girl that she did not recognize, she spoke. "There are also some more biting plants that you might want to feed. Over there," she replied and pointed to the closed door on the right side. She was wondering if Virohsa knew about the plants that were being kept behind the door. I mean, what was the point of keeping the locked in there?! They were the same as the other plants. Biting plants.
