 The Greenhouses (Bored? Loads to do here!)
Professor Phoenix stood in the greenhouses with a frown on her face. The tip of her right index was pressed against her mouth, and she appeared to be in deep thought. After a while, she shifted her position a little, the frown increasing as her large Devil's Snare in the corner made a hissing noise. Then she dropped her hand and sighed. The summer holidays had not done the plants well. Although they had been looked after, many of them were simply dangerous and had to be handled with immense care. Professor Phoenix passed up and down the rows, testing how damp the soil in each pot was and adding water nearly everywhere. However, some students had asked her if they could do some extra work in the greenhouses last term, and she was only to glad to give them the opportunity. If they wanted, she had many things that needed to be done while she busied herself cutting back the Devil's Snare, and maybe even going into the caves to check on the Fireseed Plants, although they usually didn't need much attention. After a while, Professor Phoenix stepped out of the conservatory for the most dangerous plants, securely locking the door behind herself. She was about to enter the first greenhouse when she transfigured a leaf on the ground into a sheet of parchment, pulled out a pencil from her apron and scribbled a note on it. Quote: Students interested in extra credit work:
Please address yourselves to Professor Phoenix in the greenhouses. She signed it and stuck it to the door with a charm before disappearing inside to continue her rounds. |
