The slytherin heard the Professor going over a rose diagram. He nodded and appreciated the little kid drawing. He chuckled to himself and saw all the parts of the rose. He wondered who came up with those names? Anyways, he heard Myers ask them a riddle. He nodded and got the hang of it quickly. He was fairly good at riddles. He muttered to Mel, "Well it is obvious that it is water." It didn't take a genius to figure it out. "You want to water the plant or shall I?"

Bye, Blaise. Bye, Daxton. Bye, New Ravenclaw.

Rooney WISHED that he could have apologised straight away, but he didn't want to be the person that said what they thought..only to take it back immediately. He wasn't fickle. His words weren't fickle and neither were his feelings. In fact.. he was now wishing that he'd said what he thought about Blaise's crush on Miss Charlotte and how rubbish it was, because he KNEW that she was going to be Rooney's girlfriend soon. Everyone knew, didn't they? He hoped that they did, anyway.

And alongside all of that... Rooney had lost the house point that he had only just earned. As well as another. How was he supposed to preach good behaviour when he couldn't even practice it himself. Leaving his head on Liv's shoulder, Rooney mumbled an apology to Professor Myers as he came over. "Sorry Sir.." But he didn't want this ace card. So he passed it across to his best friend with a sad sort of smile and went back to feeling sorry for himself.

Points... Lost... He'd never lost points before.

But he was just going to keep quiet from here on out. He couldn't provide an answer to anything without fear of his lip wobbling and having to also leave the class so that he didn't CRY in front of anyone here. Maybe Liv later. If she promised to pet his hair and slick it back so he looked like a prince. Anything that wasn't the stupid Prefect that had lost points for being a bully. His mother hadn't raised a bully. She was going to be so disappointed and he KNEW his sister would write home to tell her all about it. And Brinlee would be sO descriptive of it also.

"I can't explain myself I'm afraid Sir. Because I'm not myself, you see." Another quote, another fail. Head bowed, Rooney followed limply across the room towards where they were supposed to gather before stARING at his crazy Professor. Crazy because wHO SPIKED THEIR STUDENTS?! Who spiked tea?! It was nectar of the heavens and didn't deserve such treatment. But Rooney couldn't even put together an understanding of it all because, they really were all the sizes of...well, not the sizes of humans.

"Liv, I feel like Thumbelina." ANOTHER story. Another great story. But that was all he was able to say on this. He listened to the riddle, nodded at other people's answers and stuffed his hands in his pocket whilst he waited this out a little bit.

Riddles were a thing for Ravenclaws and Roo wanted to see if any of these would have been past passwords.

Ilia was actually very excited for herbology class this year. Professor Myers had become her favorite really. Who else served tea in the classroom? Of course, his theatrics, goofiness, and costuming were unlike any other adult she knew....she still deemed him every bit as sane as some of the others, not that it said much. The dramatics really just reminded her of her cousin so she shrugged them off. His costume really didn't surprise her in the slightest and her favorite muggle thing she'd found was Lewis Carol's books....besides motorcycles ahem.

Thermo reactant roses....that was nifty. Now she wanted some of her own, especially for the fact that they changed colors with the hotness of her boyfriend's touch. Diagrams, roses, tea.....say what!? He did what to the tea!? Ilia was not thrilled, not in the least. She was normally highly suspicious of professors passing out comestibles and did not partake, she very much remembered that whole were-cookie incident, but this was Professor Myers! She ACTUALLY trusted this person and he spiked her bloody tea!? Glares. Oh yes, you sir....she counted you as a commendable adult person and you betrayed her. There would be grudges held and words had. The blonde snakette crossed her arms over her chest as she shrank, still attitude firmly in place. Why couldn't they just say, oh by the way guys you'll need to do this for the lesson so here is a neat way to take it. Oh no, no, this was Hogwarts the home of the sociopaths. This giant messed up looney bin she'd landed in where the students were crazy and the staff more so and you had a good chance of dying every year......Why did she keep coming back here!?.....oh yeah her boyfriend was head boy....and her band...and her sparring buddy....but still....just meant she was looney too.

Falling into soil....grand...Now that she was insignificantly tiny and pouting she started to look around. Now they were concerned about insects? If that were to happen the seventh year might be tempted to try and ride one..."Three inches is such a wretched height to be..." She sighed and flicked her long golden mane back. She should have worn her blue dress at this point.....Riddles now too? He really was getting into this wasn't he? "Curiouser and curiouser." She looked at the professor with still a bit of disapproval for spiking her beverage, but also amusement. She'd play now and grumble at him later. "Liquid falling from the sky, hits the ground and fixes dry. Once the rain is in the ground, flowers bloom all around...." A fancier way to say water, writing lyrics and being subjected to Ullr's nonsense improved her ability in that regard.

Janelle didn't have to wait too long because Professor Myers soon presented the first riddle. Listening carefully to the words, Janelle thought about what they meant. She thought that she knew the answer. Could it really be that easy? Maybe it was a trick, but no.......what else could it be? Water came from the sky. Rain of course. But water also came from the ground. Don't dig too deep. There were wells containing water in the ground or just water deep in the ground period. The answer had to be water. Roses definitely needed water to survive.

They had been instructed to figure out the riddle and then do the action. Janelle had her wand, so accessing water was not a problem. But........she was small, therefore, her wand was small. There was no way Janelle was going to get enough water out of her tiny wand to sufficiently water the ginormous rose bush. Well maybe with all of the students combined, they could get the job done. Maybe.

Janelle took out her wand and concentrated on the task at hand. Directing her wand toward the soil, she said "Aguamenti". The water began to flow from the tip of her wand and trickled onto the dark soil. Janelle began to walk around the base of the bush, trying to water her self designated area of soil. When she thought she had gone far enough, she turned around. Moving over slightly from the edge of the bush, she continued to water. After a while, Janelle looked around, to see if the soil was moist enough. Hopefully, she had done an adequate job.

So they weren't acting-responsive roses, just affected by temperature, but Professor Myers had still complimented her for her answer, and Rula was totally fine with that. Compliments made everything better.

But then Rooney and a Gryffindor girl were also joining in on the act? This lesson was a lot more exciting than she'd expected it to be. Maybe Herbology wasn't so bad after all!

But THEN a bit of a disagreement broke out between Rooney and a Gryffindor boy. Rula watched the exchange between them and then Professor Myers' response, and then suddenly the Gryffindor and another boy and older girl were leaving. Hm. Apparently that was okay? Since Professor Myers hadn't stopped them. Oh well. Their loss if all this came up on an exam later.

Having been distracted by all that, she missed the next question, though she gathered from other people's answers that it was just about the parts of a rose. They were all covering it just fine, and really all she knew about roses were the obvious stuff you could easily see, like thorns and petals and leaves and stems. So she just sipped her water while they all talked.

Now there was a diagram and they needed to gather around the rosebush and Professor Myers was explaining...what???? Shrinking solution?? In their DRINKS??? It wasn't anything bad obviously, but a little warning ahead of time might've been nice?

Either way, suddenly things were getting bigger around Rula - or, well, she was getting smaller, technically. It was a weird sensation, watching everything suddenly appear huge as she was shrinking... shrinking...shrinking...

Until she was standing on the dirt under the rosebush with everyone else. Oh Merlin, this was...actually...the roses were really pretty from this angle. It was kinda cool to see them like this. She kind of wanted to try to climb them and sit in the petals and see what it was like from a rose's point of view. That sounded lovely.

Unfortunately, they had to solve riddles and follow those instead. But maybe one of the riddles would have to do with climbing them? A girl could hope!

First riddle seemed pretty easy, and quite a few of the other students were already following instructions. Rula pulled out her wand to do the same. "Aguamenti."

Thank Merlin their wands worked even when they'd all shrunk with them.

YES they were shrunk, YES there was a riddle, YES the answer was obviously water, but CHARLOTTE KETTLEBURN was FAR too distracted by the potential of this whole THING to actually try and use her wand and conjure up some water because OOOOOOOOOH at THIS size she could totally RIDE HER SNAILS! All she would need would be some kind of reins and then she would be the QUEEN OF SNAILS!

And if any bugs DID COME ATTACK like people had said, then SHE would CHARGE THEM ON SNAIL BACK, WAND DRAWN, EXPRESSION FIERCE. RAWWWWWR!!!

....okay so that would also involve casting a spell on her sneed (snail steed) to speed it up, but STILL! HOW COOL WOULD THIS BE?

IT WAS TOO MUCH.

Daxton and Blaise were forgotten, Charlotte was too busy Gryffindoring and losing her ever-loving mind in the world of POSSIBILITY and IMAGINATION.

No petting giant bugs? Cornelius wrinkled his nose a bit. Why NOOOT? Could he pet it with his teeth? He would pet it with his teeth. That decided, the boy rubbed his hands together, huge green eyes focused on Professor Queen Myers.

Riddle. BRING IT ONNN.

He loves riddles. The guessing, the suspense, the CHANCES. UGH. Give him the riddle--

Oh. Oh. OHHHHH. It was kind of obvious, but for the sake of a professor he admired, Cornelius tapped his chin, creased his eyebrows together and pretended to think hard. After a moment he raised his index finger and was about to answer when people beat him to it.

Water. It was water.

"H2O. Good one, Proff." THUMBS UP AND CHEESY SMILE.

...What they do now?

.....They water the plant? He could water the plant.

Yeah, working with others wasn't going to happen unless the riddles ended up being incredibly difficult. Then it would make sense for her to collaborate with others to get the answers. As it was Esme would be perfectly fine working everything out on her own. Especially because the first one was so incredibly easy that it took about a second to work out what she was supposed to do.

"Water!" she said to no one in particular.

The roses needed water.

Smiling, Esme took out her wand and pointed it at the soil. "Aguamenti." She moved the wand around a little to make sure to get a decent amount of coverage without soaking the soil too much. It was always important to remember not to over or under water plants because neither was good for them; they ended up either drowning or shriveling up.

Professor Myers was a funny guy. But this whole 'riddle' thing just wasn't working for him. it was loud, and there was riddles, and for some reason he felt very, very tired.

Blinking the seventeen year old, rubbed his eyes as he tried to focus on everything going on. This was Herbology. Logically the first answer to any riddle involving plants had to be either sunlight, or water.

It only made sense.

Though.....what if the answer was something else?

Leaning on the table in front of him, Kyroh closed his eyes and began to doze off.

His answer to the riddle? Sleep.

Louise crept from under the table, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible as she did so. It was bad enough that she had actually believed that some kid movie was real, but to do so in front of what was practically the whole school? Louise was mortified. She hid her face in her tea mug and remained quiet like that while the class moved on around her.



Louise, to be honest, didn't know much about flowers, but SHE HAD DONE THIS BEFORE. This was something that her (non-magical) elementary school had taught her! They had done an entire unit on plants and the parts of a flower and everything last year. Louise nearly jumped out of her chair with her hand up, completely forgetting that in order to answer the Professor, she would need to speak in front of the whole class.

"There're petals, which attract pollinators with colors, and the smell does that too, but the leaves catch the light with... photo-something I think it was photosynthesis?" Louise paused for a breath, she was very excited to share her knowledge... but it was in this pause that she realized the attention she was bringing to herself. "Um, well, I mean.... that's it." She was done talking now. The rest of the class Louise was to be invisible, unnoticed, and everyone would forget her.


HOLY STONES. AND THEY WERE TRYING TO TELL HER THAT THIS WAS ALL FAKE. Louise was Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Literally there was a giant flower and she was tiny. She wanted to shout 'No, I'm not ready Professor!', but she reminded herself that she was going to be quiet and invisible for the rest of class. It was hard to do when she was suddenly shrunk to the size of a seed. If her robes had been big on her before, well, now that she had shrunk she felt like she was swimming in fabric. The other students seemed to be just fine and dandy but someway somehow Louise's robes didn't shrink right with the rest of her.

Lovely.

Louise ducked behind a stem bigger around than she could reach her arms and hid there. She could still hear Professor Myers as he said his riddle, but she was, thankfully, hidden from everyone (she thought).



Ravenclaw coming right up! Louise knew the answer to this, it was easy! Water. It was the obvious answer. What was even better was that the professor said that they should just start going about caring for the roses, which meant that Louise didn't need to talk.

Wasn't there a spell for water? Though she was still only a first year, and a fledgeling one at that, so she didn't know many spells, Louise did know one for water.

"Aguamenti," she said softly, pointing at the base of the stem she had been hiding behind. A trickle of water barely splattered across the soil. Fine. She would be a little louder.

"AGUAMENTI." she said, rather loudly, too loud for her plan, louder than she expected. She winced, but at least the rose was getting watered now.

While watching the other students shrink Echo began to be come terrified.


SHE HAD TWO CUPS OF TEA!!! TWO!!!!

starting to shrink she saw her world change. when everything was said and done she was a lot smaller than the rest!!! "HELP!!!" she squeaked while listening to very loud noises! they were supposed to hear a riddle to solve something for something ! why couldn't Echo pay attention.

she just wanted to be big again. "WATER!!!" she squeaked at them. that was the answer he was looking for right!! "please make me big again" she did not like being so close to the dirt.

They were taking care of roses, but for some reason everyone had to do it as tiny people. Why did Professor Myers shrink them all? Couldn't they have just watered roses without the shrinking? Why wasn't there any sort of option to opt out of being shrunk? Spiked drinks. Really, there should have been a warning with that. Even though Penelope had not had any of the spiked drinks, she still ended up tiny because Professor Myers had shrunk her. She still wasn't very happy about being made into a tiny person without any sort of warning in advance.

Riddle time! Obviously the first one was water. "Water is the most essential nutrient to life." Nothing could live without water. It was important for all plants and animals to get the amount of water that they needed every day. "Aguamenti!" Here they were, watering roses as an army of tiny people. Why were they doing this? It would be easier to water roses if the students were normal sized.

Hopefully, they wouldn't have to fight off carnivorous insects today. Merlin knew what would that be like if an army of ants decided to attack them from nowhere. Thank you very much.. but no. As much as he loved all things plants, he wouldn't want to risk his life for it. Nope, not a chance. Too young to die handsome, bro! Henric would like all of them to return safely and back to their normal heights soon please. He already had to worry about his NEWTS examinations, not this too.

And, what kind of riddle was that? Duh..of course the answer was H2O. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! He walked to where his girlfriend stands and gave her a little playful nudge on the side of her shoulder. "Nice rhymes, llia. Is there one that says about me?" he chuckled lightly. Okaaaay...time to water the plants like everybody else. He directed his wand towards the blooming roses and non-verbally cast the water charm spell.

So... riddles. Vivi wasn't exactly the sharpest weapon in the closet at the moment, especially with these kinds of stuff. She'll sort of just let the others answer this for her. But yeah, the answer was water which she now sewed together to connect it to the clues in the riddle. Yeah, yeah. Correct. She smiled.

But... what? Nobody taught her the water-conjuring spell. Vivian opened her mouth, and then closed it again. Nah, she wasn't going to ask how. She thought she should just observe it from the other students. Her mummy did conjure water out of her wand when she watered plants so it probably wasn't as complicated as producing a Patronus or whatever. Aguamenti? Was that the incantation?

Vivi looked closely at the student beside her (hopefully she didn't look like a creep doing that) and followed suit. "Aguamenti," the blonde said, pointing her wand, and a jet of water cam sprinkling out of her wand. YAY, it worked!

Water water water for the plants!

He didn't need to be an expert in Herbology to know the answer to the riddle. He could have gotten a 'T' on his Herbology O.W.L and STILL have been able to guess the answer answer.

Water.

Duhhhh. All plants and living things needed it. SO obvious.

Zeke just stood there, observing his peers as they all reached the same consensus. Did this really need to be discussed? And... did they have to water the rose bush now? Was that what they were doing?

With a light shrug to himself, Zeke raised his wand in front of him he performed the wand movement and incantation like he'd done SO many times before. "Aguamenti."

..... ..... note to self, tiny person, tiny wand, ergo... was this really the most effective way of doing this, Professor?

Tiny.

Hady was tiny. All her peers and the professor were tiny also.

However the rose bush was not. It was HUGE! And standing there in the dirt and staring upwards at the roses was oddly amazing. She honestly liked this feeling...just so no bug of any kind came along and tried to eat her she would be perfectly fine. Mhmm.

On to the riddle to get things started. Hady shifted her attention towards the man in the dress/professor. Listening quietly as the riddle was given. As it was said this one was easy. Roses like everything else needed water to survive. The answer was water. No need to say it since everyone else was.

Removing her wand from her pocket she gripped it firmly in her hand while preforming the movement and giving the proper incantation, "Aquamenti," which was cast at the roses. Not to bad for a tiny her.

Ilia had begun non verbally watering the giant plant, wondering what it would be like to climb it. Really it was enormous in comparison, would it change color from the touch of such a tiny person? She was tempted to find out and gently touched the stem. Henric's nudge made her giggle and smirk a little. "About you? Let me see.....People will come and people will go, but there is one I can't let go. A boy I swear was sent from above, and the only one I'll ever love." How was that Mr. Headboy perfection? She might have been a bit cheekier if they weren't in class....around ickles and a professor.....but they were. More, less pg poetry for you later hunkypuff.

Riddles? Oh no. Olly was not particularly good at riddles. He could solve most problems if there was a clear answer and a fairly simple way to get there. But riddles were not very straighforward, that was the whole point of them. You had to think outside the box. Olly was not necessarily good at that sort of thinking. Luckily he did not have to solve it on his own. He was in a class full of people who were all (audibly) solving the very same riddle and then doing as it said. That made things a lot simpler for him.

Comes from the ground and sky. What did that mean? Something roses needed to survive. He thought about that, trying to solve it on his own first. That wasn't too difficult. Olly brightened. He could practically feel the light bulb above his head. Water! That's what it was. Of course. Rain came from the sky, and there were lakes and ponds and whatever in the ground. And flowers needed it to survive of course. Olly quickly took out his wand to help give the roses some water.

"Aguamenti."

Herbology professor was eccentric. There was no other way to put it. Maybe because Sky had no prior knowledge of any professors at Hogwarts, but there was some type of lunacy going on that made it hard to focus on answers, despite as much as she wanted to. Not that she knew parts of the rose; who really cared about the innate parts as long as it grew into something beautiful?

Sipping her tea nonchalantly as she observed and listened to her peers, she then heard Myers explain that they were going to be working through riddles which involved care of the plants ... the rosebushes. But more than that, he said something else which caused her to spew the mouthful of tea that she'd just taken across the table she was sitting at. HE DID WHAT!?!? Was spiked beverages at Hogwarts normal!?!? She wasn't that big to begin with, being only eleven, so what if she never grew up ? What if she was trapped inside a rose for ETERNITY?! What if it wasn't a shrinking solution but he really poisoned them and they eventually shrunk down to the size of a dust particle and then to eventual nothing?

Ugh. How was she supposed to focus on a riddle now!?

How.... how.... oh, she was getting smaller and ............ hating herself already for being so naïve and not very vigilant. How could she not realize something was up with being offered TEA during a lesson?! But it wasn't just HER who was naïve; even the older kids were naïve too.

Trying hard to focus on the riddle, she heard her peers call out aguamenti and water, but Sky wondered if it was more than that. Sure that was the obvious solution and the professor had told them to not think too hard, but it could be something else too. From the ground and the sky. "Oxygen and nitrogen," Sky said quietly, upon raising her hand. Yes that was two things, but they fell under one category: gas.

Chloe thought perhaps Professor M should stick to his day job. The cross dressing and the riddles felt like he was testing out his drag routine in front of all of his students. If he really needed to hone his skills the classroom was NOT the place for that.

Also she was partial to dance so maybe he should change his skills.

Riddles were hardly a party trick for a Ravenclaw. That was how they got in the common room. Colour her unimpressed. Then again, Chloe was usually unimpressed at most things. She was a little stinker like that.

His riddle sounded like water, too. But it was vague enough that it could have been something completely random to throw off/annoy his students. Professors were irritating like that.

Bella giggled a little her at her idea of being a super-secret geneticist. She still thought it was possible, but maybe not for Professor Myers. She listened carefully was the Professor moved on and explained that the sensitivity to temperature was the cause of turning the flowers white.

"Wow," She muttered softly as the blast of hot air filled the room and all of the roses turned white before it faded away. Yes, it was cool watching all of the roses turn all at once.



In all of the excitement Bella had completely forgot about her tea. While everyone was shouting out the parts of a rose and functions, she opted to taking a sip of tea. Eww! Bella pushed the cup away. She didn't like tea that took more than two packs of sugar to make it taste better.

Bella got up to gathered into a circle with everyone else in the front of the room. She was ready for the excitement until... HE DRUGED US!!! She didn't like the idea of being shrunk. She wished he would have given them a heads up because the idea of getting smaller didn't settle well with her. That was coming from someone who was very claustrophobic. When the shrinking solution started to take effect, Bella closed her eyes as she got smaller and smaller and smaller. I’m only getting smaller… there’s still plenty of room to move. She thought to keep herself calm. It took her a moment to gather herself, but she was ready.



Ooo... riddles. Bella loved figuring out riddles. She listened careful to all of the clues and quickly pieced them together. Something that came from the ground and sky, which roses needed to survive. Well duh, that was obvious. "Water." Bella replied, as she pulled her wand from her pocket ready to help water the roses.

Riddle time. She was READY. The all too familiar feeling of sweaty palms and a racing heart were coming back to her. Normally, this feeling was sports related and not because she was scared or nervous. Oh no. This was pure adrenaline, baby. Bring it on. This was a different kind of challenge for her, and that only made it even more exciting.

How hard could the riddle be? It was the first one so surely that meant he would ease them into it. Plus, look at the firsties. She had this in the bag. No Ravenclaw brain needed...yet!

Ok. It was happening. Aw, cute. It rhymed and everything. Usually riddles did that, yeah? Who knows. English classes were a thing of her muggle past - much to her mother's dismay. Focus, Valentine. It was very easy for her mind to wander and important things were happening right now.

Roses need this to survive... that could be a lot of things. Okay. She was overthinking this. The man had even mentioned that in his riddle. It came from the ground and sky.

DUH! It was water. This riddle was super easy, and she immediately felt silly for overthinking it. The good news was that nobody could read her mind so she was safe. Not that she cared what anybody else thought.

Moving on...

AJ whipped out her wand. "Aquamenti." Easy, peasy. The only ones that might be having a hard time with the spell would be the younger crowd, and AJ kept an eye out for them just in case as she went about watering the soil.

Angel was totally just sat there in silence, seriously this was just so not what she wanted to do. She just wanted to be in her dorm relaxing and doing other stuff. Okay maybe when she was younger she wouldn't have rolled her eyes at the Professor as he did the riddle but well that was then, all she wanted to do now was just get on with her life and she wanted to go and tour the amazon or somewhere else to work with plants.

The answer was easy it was water and she knew the wand movement and everything but did she want to water a plant or not that was the question and she would have to think about it for a bit.

...ahhh...what was Matt.....doing????

Paul snapped his fingers in the boy's direction. "AY--MATT--FOCUS, M'BOY!" He called out, gesturing at the rest of the class who were now watering his precious rosebush.



He shot a glance at Rooney and sighed. He felt guilty for taking points away from a PREFECT but...he would have taken points away from anyone else for such cruelty in words.

But he heard one word...Thumbelina. WHAT WAS THAT? It piqued the professor's curiosity, and he would write home soon enough to ask Milton if HE knew because Milton knew pretty much everything.

He smiled in Rooney's direction. Don't feel baaaaaaad, child.



"Oh m'dear...that is lovely!" he clapped a little at her performance. "Beautiful! You should be a poet!" he smiled and nodded.



Was Charlotte Kettleburn okay? She, too, seemed out of it. Paul cleared his throat at her. "Miss Kettleburn!" he said. "Are you THERE?" if he was closer he would have waved his hand in front of her face.



The...dozing boy got a....LIGHT squirt of water in his face.

That may or may not have come from Paul's wand.

Ahem.

...well she wasn't wrong! Paul laughed a little. "You're right--oxygen AND nitrogen--" that was so funny! "But in this instance I meant....WATER." They had all gotten it correct! He was so proud. Granted, it wasn't a hard riddle at all.

JUST ENOUGH TO GET THEIR JUICES FLOWING.

He let a stream of water flow from the end of his wand and onto the soil. "MAKE SURE YOU ALL GET EVERYWHERE--" Well, everywhere that they could. But once he was satisfied the soil was mushy under their feet, he smiled. "ONTO The next riddle! This one isn't as easy...so..." Ahem.

"Good job kids.You figured it out!
The next clue is harder, no doubt!
So listen closely, peel those ears!
Or you’ll be stuck this small for years.

Sprinkle this next thing all over the dirt.
You’d think this substance would make the soil desert.
No no, don’t worry! Some things it does dry,
But for roses, sprinkling this will help them get by."

He was kidding about the staying small forever thing, though, students.




OOC: I made brief reference to this next riddle in one of my previous posts BUT I understand if literally no one gets it xD I'll post Paul if the students are having trouble. <3

Also, I see some of you not referencing the fact that they are SMALL and shrunk to the size of bugs...on the rosebush. *just wanted to clear that up for future RP reasons*

Bec had never been good with riddles. If she were she would have been placed in Ravenclaw where they THOUGHT before they ACTED. although the same could not be said for their Prefect but everyone had their flaws. She was also highly disappointed that the Professor, although chuckled at her idea of fighting of the insects if they came, still had disapproved of it.

Trying not to let her disappointment show, the Gryffindor turned around to figure out the first riddle. So even if she was terrible at them, she still managed to riddle it out. Water. The Gryffindor waved her wand and said "Aguamenti!" it failed, no water came out. "Aguamenti...Aguamenti!" WHY WERE THERE BUBBLES FLYING OUT OF HER WAND?!

Tiny little bubbles flew up in the air and vanished from sight. Popped was more likely. Scratching the back of her neck, Rebecca figured that the other students had watered the soil enough so instead she turned to the Professor. Pretending nothing weird had just happened. The second riddle was more difficult but the more she thought, nothing popped up in her mind. WHAT did they have to sprinkle on dirt?

Not knowing the answer, Bec pretended to be interested in something else.
