Default Herbology Lesson I - Fire Bushes


It was bright outside today, but it didn’t much matter because they were headed into the forest. Paul had found that once you got into certain parts of the Forbidden Forest that day turned right into night. The thickness of the trees made sure of that.

Paul was waiting right beyond Justin’s hut, rocking to and fro in a leisurely fashion. He had his wand in his hand, and his eyes kept flickering at the forest as if he were expecting something to come out. Perhaps he was. There were metal buckets, enough for everyone in class, strewn about the area. Paul may have haphazardly levitated them here from the greenhouses earlier.

As students began to mill about, Paul cleared his throat.

“Students! As you can see we are entering the forest today! Deep deep DEEP into the forest where the light refuses to shine!” He smiled because he KNEW some of them would find this absolutely AWESOME and others would be terrified. “No one should be scared! We will have adequate protection with us!” He held his wand aloft and glanced at the forest’s edge again.

“As you all get settled, can anyone tell me which plants, magical or mundane, might like the darkness of the forest?” he asked as he began to pace in front of the students who had arrived.




OOC: Hello everyone, welcome to Herbology! Please note that this is not the students’ first Herbology lesson of the year and play accordingly. Make sure to check out our classroom rules and also SS site rules as well if you have not done so already.<3

Moving on in ROUGHLY 24 hours.


Class has officially started.

So she had her gloves on and she had been practicing the spell. Now was it time to get started? Yes, it seemed like it was time, maybe? Professor M was talking again and reminding them about the gloves and where to plug and take the seeds. Looking around first to see if anyone needed any help Nat turned she to her own bucket and held out her wand.

Doing the correct wand movement toward the bucket, "CHAW-DEN-SIS" The bucket warmed like it was supposed to and she headed towards the cave that they were getting the seeds from. Moving with the other students she reached one of the bushes and plucked one and put it in her bucket very carefully. They were an interesting seed. She looked at the bush in awe and her thoughts went to all the things that they could be used for. Could they keep some for themselves?

No, he didn't say anything about that, but she did have to get two more. So she plucked two off and set in her bucket. Now that she had all three seeds she headed out of the cave and to the other cave.

SUMMER FOREVER

Umm. What just happened? Why was the professor yelling at Brent? Had she missed something? Etta raised an eyebrow, mildly curious but remained quiet, feeling a little bad for the boy. He didn't seem like the type to say bad things about girls... was he? She should probably ask Olivia later. The girl thought about saying something to comfort him but then again, she barely knew him. He might find that weird. Instead, she just settled with giving him a bright smile, hoping that would cheer him up? Maybe?

Now, back to the professor's instructions. Etta stood by the bushes and still trying not to panic, the girl slowly pulled up three seeds and dropped them into her bucket. FINALLY. It had been scary.. but not as scary as she'd imagined, though. She really wished she could take notes, ugh. What was the next step again? They had to enter the cave, yes? Carrying her bucket, hoping she wouldn't drop it and lose her seeds ( because frankly, she just couldn't do it all over again ), she entered the cave, looking around in wonder.

Since he had all three seeds in his bucket Olly picked it up and carried it over to the other cave. It was much darker in there without the fire from the plants to give light. But they were there to plant the seeds and make more fire seed bushes grow in this cave. There wouldn't be light immediately of course, but eventually it would look just like the other cave.

Olly selected a spot and began scooping some dirt. He didn't want to make his hole too big but he didn't want it to be too small either. He wanted the seeds to be comfortably surrounded by warm soil and not too near anything that was cold. The dirt he initially touched was definitely cool and he knew putting a seed near it would make the fire go out and he did not want that to happen. Olly scooped a few handfuls of dirt into the bucket so it would warm up. When he was satisfied with the size of his hole he shook the bucket around, mixing the seeds around in the dirt. Finally, he tipped the bucket and let the seeds and warm dirt fall back out into the nice hole he had made. It looked like he had successfully planted the fire seeds.

It wasn't hard to manage the warming charm on the bucket... and perhaps also on the phials on Katy's pocket. Just in case the opportunity came to grab some stray seeds and save them for her own use. Whatever. It was also simple enough to grab up a few of the seeds and tuck them into her warmed bucket. Thank Merlin for the dragon hide gloves, right?

The harder part was slipping another two seeds into her pocket phial and then sticking the warm warm warm phial back into her pocket. She eyed the position of both the professor and the centaur, plus prefects, before dropping the seeds-in-phial into her pocket. And NEXT?

Right! Time to dig. She needed the perfect spot to ensure optimal growing for this new bush. Dark, warm, and plenty of loamy soil.

So far everything seemed to be working.

Ambrose had cast the first spell, he had a single fire seed currently not daring to take more than that in his bucket. Thankfully he had the gloves that stopped him from being burned by the fire seeds in question.

At least he was now at the easiest step in this process. All that Ambrose had to do was dig a hole for his seeds. With that in mind, he grabbed his bucket and headed towards the other cave. He wasn't sure whether there would be a perfect place for him to dig them, so he just went to a random part of the gave. Ambrose figured it would probably be good enough.

Kneeling down he started to dig, hoping that he'd get it at the right depth...

Oh so they were done now were they? At least with this cave. Leon followed the rest of the students and the Professor into the next cave and blinked a little at how cool and dark it was.. he was considering lighting up his wand again when Professor Meyers was suddenly illuminated by a torch.

Ahh well that helped out a little bit. At least he could see his hands now. The dark haired boy wasn't scared of the dark, but being unable to see his hand in front of his face was a little unnerving.

So they were going to plant the fire seeds then, yeah? The seventh year was curious as to how this was going to be done and he watched with rapt attention as the Hufflepuff Head of House demonstrated what they were supposed to do. It didn't seem too complicated. For the most part at least.. The grey eyed boy repeated the steps in his head before looking up at the fire letters written in the air.

Better get to it then..

He knelt in the dirt and after making sure his gloves were on tightly felt around for where he wanted to plant his bush.. Right in front of him seemed like a good place and not too near the others. He didn't want a choked out plant.

He slowly stared to dig a hole, just with his hands, seeing as they weren't going too deep and he carefully scooped some of the soil into the bucket and started to mix it around, waiting for it to heat up a bit..

Warming up soil. This was new. But fun!

Quote:
At that moment she caught sight of James, sort of wandering away from the group. "Hey James," she called after him casually, watching as he picked up a rock. She watched to make sure he wouldn't wander out of sight, though she didn't really want him to know she was doing that.
James heard someone called his name and turned around to see who it was. How did she know his name? Oh wait, he remembered she had the same classes with him. Kitty was her name, right? "Hey." He gave the girl a simple nod. Again, picking up a rock and try to skip it deeper into the dark.

Quote:
And THIS ONE.

Paul stared at him for a bit, wondering if James would notice.

And, ah, no.

He snapped his fingers in front of his face. “HELLLLOOO ARE YOU HOME?” he asked, eyebrows raised.
No, he definitely did not notice. James was preoccupied with himself to notice Professor Meyers was staring at him until he suddenly came up to snap his fingers at him. Huh? He blinked back at the professor. What was he talking about? They were so far away from home. Of course, he wasn't at home. "Uh no." Blankly stared at. He guessed Professor.M must have caught him procrastinating. "I'm doing it ...see." James heated the bucket with the charm Chawdensis before picking the fire seeds delicately like a baby. There...all done. He would only need a couple of seeds right? He realised he was one of the few people left behind. Sigh, this was why he wasn't a plant lover.

Charlotte beamed happily when Thereos thanked her, and only then did she start paying attention to what was going on, you know, the class part of the class. She had her gloves on and a bucket.... um. An empty bucket. Was she supposed to be doing something WITH said bucket?


Yeahhh.... nope. No clue.

Char sidled up closer to the professor and gave him a hopeful smile before admitting,

"Professor? I... I got distracted by Thereos's super cool bow and I don't know what we are doing, I'm sorry! I didn't pay attention!" Confession for you Professor Myers! Eeep!

But his listening was rudely interrupted.

Rudely.

With…………………………………………...a human hug.

Thereos couldn’t say he had never been human hugged in his life; it had happened, especially when the small humans were near. They liked to hug what they considered creatures, and for some reason hugging a centaur did not seem like a bad idea. His first reaction was to kick his hind leg but this was a human child, and he meant no harm.

“Child,” Thereos began. He would not use the preferred name the boy had just given him. “You must remove your arms from around me and continue on with your lesson,” his voice was low, soft, but not altogether annoyed. “Your mother, if she attended Hogwarts, probably know of me, yes,” because he had no way of knowing who his mother was, nor did he much care.

His fellows would be mortified for him and outraged at this display. But they did not understand that humans required patience.
Chawdensis charm things waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the back of his mind, Derf was trying not to bounce in place at the fact that he was HUGGING a centaur!

His only regret was that he was doing so with a bunch of metal on. He would have been willing to take it off should Theroes have wanted to return the hug, however. But...seemed that was not the case. SIGH.

Child though? Should he had been a little louder when introducing himself because...his name was Derf. "Do centaurs not hug?" he asked innocently, looking up at the LEGEND in SHOCK. Blinking a few times, it took an uncomfortably long time - for Thereoes at least, surely - for the request to be processed and honored. He wasn't upset or anything, no hint of a lower lip wibble in sight, and swung his arms awkwardly by his sides. "Fank you for making one of my dreams-s-s come true...even if centaurs-ss don't like hugs-s-s much."

He was juuuuuuuuuust about to go 'back to the lesson' - because who was he to argue with a centaur?! - but he felt the need to explain just WHO his mum was. "S-S-She was a Ravenclaw a loooooooooooooooong time ago...but als-s-s profess-s-sor fere! Taught Herbology when you did Divination...and was the Gryffindor Head of House ...OH! And Deputy Headmistress too!" he explained with a chirp before heading back over to his bucket.

OH OH OH OOOOOOOOOOOOH! OPPORTUNITY TO HELP CHARLOTTE WHO HAD HELPED HIM AT THE FEAST WITH THE DRYING CHARM!

"I KNOW I KNOW!"
he said, flailing his arms in the Gryffindor's direction to make sure she knew he was talking to her, his helmet falling off in the process and rest of his borrowed suit of armour clanging together. "We need to do a...Chawdens-s-sis-s charm on our buckets!" He paused for a moment and looked at his own where it rested on the ground. His helpfulness had been fleeting. "I'm not so good at charms-s fough..."

Still...he got his wand out and began to practice the wand movement over the top of it in silence. The wrist movement was kind of hard but...he thought maybe he had it...maybe...

"ChawdenS-S-S-SiS-S," he said after a few moments of hesitation, giving the charm a proper go over his bucket and...

.............eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer. ..... o_____o

Peeking up in a bit of panic just in time to see that they were MOVING to another cave...the first year glanced down at the metal pool on the floor of the cave that had once been his bucket.

Well...one could not argue that he had not heated it, right?

...........right.

So...er...he didn't have three seeds...so that meant he had to stay in THIS cave, yeah? If he was taking the professor's words seriously - something mum had told him he SHOULD do - then that was the case.

So...he would just stay here...and admire his metallic pool on the floor of the cave.

oooh! They got to plant the seeds now? That was so cool. Hattie was actually really excited about this. She was enjoying the lesson so far. It was great, and the bushes were so cool. Hattie was sure she would go back and paint this. It would certainly be interesting, and different to her usual paintings. But first she needed to get moving and start doing the rest of the lesson.

She was careful, watching Professor Myers show them what to do. This was so that she would know what to do. Now it was her turn! Okay first she needed to find where she wanted to dig her hole. She found a nice place, and knelt down on her knees, carefully digging her hole in the ground. Now to make it the right temperature. She carefully picked up some soil, and put it into her bucket.

And now she began to stir the soil around, so that her seed wouldn't be all cold. This was the important bit, so she tried to do her very best.

elephant-astic•wanderlust•stay in the ninedaaays the original Taco Belle•look at the flowers✿

Junia's eyes were having a little trouble adjusting to the frequent change in light and if she had any permanent damage to her vision her father would be hearing about it! she'd be speaking to Professor Myers, she would.

Also, she was a little unclear on something. Three seeds were collected-well, up to three-but he'd mentioned digging a hole for a seed. Did that mean she needed three holes? And if she did need three holes, didn't she need more buckets to ensure she could cover each individual seed with warmed soil before putting each seed into each hole? HM.

"Professor!" Junia wiggled her hand in the air. "Can we put all three seeds in one hole, or would that mess with the growth of the fire seed bush? She didn't see why it would, as planting multiple seeds in the soil seemed a common practice, but she wanted to be sure.

Thereos was glad when the hug was over, and he had meant to follow the majority of the class into the next cave, or to at least stand near the mouth of both caves at the same time in case there were too many stragglers in this one (there were a few). However, the boy continued to talk to him about his mother.

“We do not hug like you hug,” he replied. “If I have made your… ‘dreams come true’ by just existing in the same space at you,” and the boy got a rare Thereos smile, “You are easily made happy.” It wasn’t necessarily a bad trait to have, either.

“Ah, I knew your mother.” Thereos smiled again and bowed his head at the child.

But the smile didn’t last long. Somehow, the human had managed to melt his bucket. Orion’s Belt, this boy must be a handful for his parents! “I will go get Professor Myers,” he patted the boy’s shoulder and trotted off to the next cave and gave the professor a little tap. “Professor….we have a slight meltdown happening in the other cave. And not a figurative meltdown. A literal meltdown.” Centaurs prefered to speak in literal language for the most part.

As well as keeping an eye on young Carlton and this other Gryffindor lady (Olivia Holden). She was a girl Olivia had yet to become acquainted with, but the blonde figured being in the same house, they would sooner or later. And she was imparting some sound advice, so... Liv felt confident that the young Slytherin boy would find success.... But to reaffirm her own bit of advise..."Just keep in mind what I mentioned before. Intent is one of the most important factors in performing magic." Their practical professors (Charms, Defense, and Transfiguration) had been beating this into her brain for the past four years. So, it was the least she could do in passing it along

Also...the poor kid was getting very frustrated. Her heart ached due to the defeat in his tone. Frowning, Liv placed a hand on his shoulder. This was a huge step for her, by the way, in touching someone else. "Hey...you'll get there eventually. You only need to stay calm and persistent. It'll come with practice." Not being able to keep the hand on him for long, as it made her uncomfortable, the Gryffindor instead offered a smile; the WARMEST she could muster. "If you'd like, we could practice together sometime. Whenever you're free." With these last words, the blonde Lion tuned back into their jovial leader and the steps he was both speaking and fire-writing into the air. Now that...was a trick she wanted to learn. Maybe he could teach it to her... Maybe, if she asked very nicely.

Anyway, continually comforted by her own wandlight, Liv followed Professor Myers' example and tucked her wand beneath her chin so that she could slip her dragonhide gloves into place. They'd been tucked into her robe pocket for easy access. As for his technique, it was pretty straightforward, thankfully. Nothing super fancy to be done about this part. Also, there was the added bonus of the cave being alight with fireseed bushes. Not so dark. Olivia felt her anxiety lessen. Marginally. Not all together...but somewhat.

Rooney was still close by, yes?

So, sticking her hand into a fire.... Olivia could understand why dragonhide gloves were mandatory now; as they were naturally impervious to heat and flame. It did make her sad sometimes that the hide was taken from dragons, but she soothed her mind with the thought that whichever dragons had donated their flesh were already deceased long before being taken apart. Also, it was very warm in this cave... which was enough to make her start sweating, but she didn't consider removing her school robe. Though, she did pause to roll up her sleeves...so they wouldn't get singed. Finally ready, the blonde reached out a gloved hand towards the flame and the awaiting seeds. As an aside, it was probably a good job that there weren't any leaves. That could've made this more difficult. In spotting said seeds, you know?

Pinching her fingers around the first seed, she tugged it off the vine, quickly moving it towards the bucket. Was that right? Rooney had already worked his magic on these buckets and she trusted him completely. So, carefully depositing it, she went back for another. This time, more sure that she wasn't going to burn herself. Shoving your hand into a flame was intimidating, it didn't matter who you were. Just saying.

Adding two more seeds to the first one, Olivia frowned. This was...sorta enjoyable. Could they pick more if they wanted?


Carlton felt defeated. The bucket had defeated him. But the suggestion of practising with Olivia brightened his mood a little. "I need help." He said, looking up at her with hopeful eyes. "Because my wand won't do what it tells it to.." It had been easier to teach the family dog not to go potty inside the house than it was to use a wand.

Carlton looked down at his bucket again. "Chaudensis."

It actually felt a little warm. He wasn't sure if it was the spell that had worked or if the bucket felt warm after him squeezing it so tightly. Either way, he made a guess well educated decision that it was warm enough to hold his fire seeds. Plus, he was lagging behind.

He'd already put on his gloves so he ran up to one of the bushes. After watching them for a few seconds he made up his mind. "You." He decided finding a particular nice looking little seed. "You're going into my bucket." He reached out, plucked one and placed it in the bucket. If he hadn't been so slow earlier this would be a step he would be hesitant to try. He didn't like fire. It was hot and bright and HOT. But he had observed the other students and trusted in Professor Myers enough that his gloves would protect him. And they did. Plus, he was stressed and eager to catch up with the others. "And... YOU. You are also going in to my bucket." He walked up to another bush just to find the perfect one. There it was. Mine. MINE. "YOU. You are the third one." He looked down into the bucket where they lay glowing. SO CUTE.

Proud, excited and eager to continue he ran back to Olivia to show her the seeds he'd found.

And then he tripped.

"OUFF." Owie. Actually it didn't hurt but he had landed face down in the mud. He sat up and looked over at his bucket. The seeds were still there, glowing and unaffected by him falling over. Well then. A little bit of luck. He stood up, grabbed the bucket, spotted Olivia and ran over to her waving one arm in the air. "I got them!" He didn't stop until he was right in front of her. "They're in there!" Just in case she missed it, he held it as far up in the air as he could so she could look down into it.

Look at them. Look at the little fire seeds! Heart eyes. "Little fire babies." He murmured to himself and wiped off some of the mud from his face with his free hand.

Following the professor to the next cave with the bucket in her hands, still filled with the seeds she looked curious, what were they going to do now? Hmm, after hearing the instructions she smiled while raising her hand to ask a question; “professor, is it allowed to have those fire seeds at Hogwarts?” She definitely wanted to have those! Maybe she could even smuggle a few of them with her when she would go home so that she could plant them in her mother’s garden! Yes, that would be cool!

Waiting for the professor to answer her questions she started working and made a hole in the ground to start with the last part of this task. Quick she filled her bucked with the ground and used the heating charm to warm the bucked some more. Putting her cloves on she quickly starting mixing the ground with the seeds and she emptied the bucked seconds later in the hole she had made. But… About the next part she wasn’t so sure because… Was it really a smart idea to add water to a burning seed? Fire and water weren’t exactly know to be a good combination… Shaking her head because she didn’t knew what to think she pointed her want at the bucket and spoke softly: “Aquamenti” and she watched how the bucked filled itself with some clean and fresh water. Next she used the Chaudensis spell, also like instructed and she watched how the water started bubbling. Nodding to herself because the water now was boiling she wondered how useful her mother would have found this spell while preparing dinner because she always hated it to wait for the water to start boiling on its own. The muggle way was reaaaly slower than using this charm! Putting the cloves on again she emptied the bucked with water carefully over the seeds she had buried and she… Waited to see if they would survive the contact with the water and… Strangely they did! Woaah! That was unexpected!

Having grabbed her last seed, Alice followed the Professor and the group into the next cave. This would be the messy part she assumed.. seeing as there would be dirt and water.. But whatever. She could do messy if she needed to.

The Gryffindor moved to one side of the cave and dug a hole for her seed, nothing too big and made sure to put all the dirt into the bucket. Easy enough.. Keeping those little seeds nice and roasty toasty.

Then it was time to dump the bucket into the hole. A sentence that in her head sounded pretty gross. But maybe that was just her. "Aguamenti!" Eyeballing the amount of water to add, she didn't want to drown it but also she didn't want to leave the little guys parched. Hmm. "Chaudensis."

It didn't take very long for the small amount of water to bubble though. So it wasn't long before she was pouring the water onto the seed and high fiving herself, only she didn't really do that cause it would be super lame and she couldn't look lame in front of Henry.

Stir. Stir. Stir.

That was good. She was doing well, and she was sure that her seed was going to be nice and warm when she put it in the rest of the soil. "You look happy in there" She murmured with a smile as she finished the stirring. She thought it had gone well. She looked up, to read the next step that she needed to do.

Nodding, she lifted her bucket, and dumped the contents into the hole that she had dug out. Carefully she made sure that the seed was in the middle so that it wouldn't get cold. She didn't want it to get out. Then she moved on! Placing her bucket on the floor, she got her wand out again and said "Aquamenti" and watched her bucket carefully fill up with water.

Now to make it boil! She carefully did the wand movement, moving her wrist slightly, and saying "Chaudensis". And then it was all boiling. She waited, so that it was boiling properly. She wanted to make sure that it was bubbling properly. Carefully she lifted her bucket up, so that she wouldn't get burnt, and carefully poured the water into her hole.

"Yaay. I planted a seed" The third year beamed. It felt really good. She had done good right? Right. Yep. She was.

Though Olly was not able to pinpoint exactly where it came from, he did hear someone ask if they could plant all three of their seeds in the same hole. He hadn't thought to ask that question because it had seemed to him that was what they were supposed to do. It had never been specified that they should plant them one at a time. He had already planted all three at once so he hoped the answer would be that it was alright and that he had not failed, because then he would be sad.

For the time being he was just going to continue on and hope he had done it right. With his seeds planted all he needed to do now was water them, with boiling water. That seemed weird but he guessed that it would make sense for seeds that were already on fire. This part would not be too hard because it was a spell he was already very familiar with.

"Aguamenti." Water shot out from his wand and into the bucket. Olly made sure to stop it before it got too full because he remembered what Professor Myers said about not giving the seeds too much. He didn't want to drown them. The water in his bucket was probably hot, but it was not boiling yet so he would have to heat the bucket up a bit more. This part was trickier but if he'd done it before he should be able to do it again. "Chaudensis." He was pointing his wand at the bucket and rotated his wrist slightly like he had practiced before. At first there was no noticeable change and he thought he would have to do it again. But then he saw a bubble break the surface of the water. Before too long it was boiling properly. This was a cool charm that could be used for cooking purposes when it was necessary to boil water. But this water was not for cooking, it was for watering. Olly poured it over the spot where he had just buried the seeds and sat back to admire his work. That hadn't been too hard, and he was done now right?

Brent decided not to wait for the professor's reply. The last thing he needed to do was stand there like a bump on a log then get into more trouble for not doing the assignment. Horrible. He hadn't expected by any means to be a goody-goody, but he also didn't plan to get in trouble so early on in the school year either.

So what was he supposed to be doing again?

Brent turned toward a patch of ground he thought might be good to dig the small hole. He remained quiet as he dug, anxiously awaiting the moment where he'd be yelled at some more. Maybe he should have just apologized to Skylar and been done with it. When his hole was deep enough, he started transferring the dirt from the hole into his nice, warm bucket. Pretty soon, it was all in there with the seeds.

Now, onto the next step!

She had practiced and practiced the Chaudensis Charm like the rest of her fellow students so Cassie didn’t feel too concerned whether or not she could cast it now that she was required to do so to complete their activity with the fire seeds. First she followed the professor inside the cave. Then to add her gloves to her hands as instructed by Myers, first one and the other to protect her hands from the warmth of the fire seeds. “Chaudensis!” she cast aiming at her bucket with focus and determination. As she stopped her spell, Cass moved her gloved hand near her bucket only to feel the warmth radiating from the medal.

Success!

Now to go about plucking those fire seeds from their branches. The Ravenclaw found an unclaimed area on one of the bushes and placed her charmed bucket beside it. Cassie then moved her hands cautiously towards one of the nearest seeds tentative as she grasped where the seed met the branch to disconnect it from the bush. When it came loose in her hold, the fourth year let out the breath she had been aware that she had been holding. One down…a couple more to go. In it went into her bucket as carefully as she could do it before she repeated the process twice more.

It would be like Kane to go ahead and start roasting marshmallows or something wild like that. But nope.

An ignorant and sexist opinion? What in the world had he said? He actually looked at Skylar for help for a split second. If she looked mad, then maybe he really had said something out of line. Uhhh.... Did he know any girls at all? Well, he WAS the new guy, but there was Olivia and Skylar and now Etta, too... There was Charlotte and Katy that he'd spoken to briefly but he hadn't seen them in a while. Brent decided it was NOT safe to actually answer that question. The professor looked really mad!

Brent was also hyper aware of the fact that his face was probably red, and if he spoke, his voice would probably crack.

The only thing he might would think the professor would be so mad about was that last comment to Skylar. NOOOOOOO. Brent did not want to apologize about that! Skylar would literally never shut up about it, and she'd have won their back and forth banter! So Brent's best course of action was to EXPLAIN. "Oh, I didn't mean anything bad by that, Professor. When Skylar first met me, she said she was sarcastic, and since then, we've had this back and forth banter," he said. IF I APOLOGIZE NOW, SHE WINS! "I seriously didn't mean to say anything bad about a girl." PLEASE DON'T RUIN POSSIBLE DATES FOR ME FOR THE REST OF MY TEEN YEARS!

Duuuude. Where was Kane?


…….Paul heard Brent, and he gave the boy a slight eyebrow raise. “Well, if Skylar isn’t offended..” he said with pursed lips. And then he did the ‘got my EYES on you, boy’ with his fingers.

Hmph.

He might have been messing with the boy at this point, but still.

SPOILER!!: James

He guessed Professor.M must have caught him procrastinating. "I'm doing it ...see." James heated the bucket with the charm Chawdensis before picking the fire seeds delicately like a baby. There...all done. He would only need a couple of seeds right? He realised he was one of the few people left behind. Sigh, this was why he wasn't a plant lover.


….”Well okay then,” he said, but again...EYE ON YOU, BOY. Paul would be WATCHING.

And if she did need three holes, didn't she need more buckets to ensure she could cover each individual seed with warmed soil before putting each seed into each hole? HM.

"Professor!" Junia wiggled her hand in the air. "Can we put all three seeds in one hole, or would that mess with the growth of the fire seed bush? She didn't see why it would, as planting multiple seeds in the soil seemed a common practice, but she wanted to be sure.


Paul, as soon as he heard Junia, realized he had not clarified that very point. AHHH WELL! “You can put all three in one hole. It’s fine! Or separate. Either way works,” he smiled. “They’re relatively hard to kill.” You know, don’t dump water on them…..they don’t even NEED sunlight.

Paul turned to Miss Griffel and smiled. “Well...in the greenhouses, perhaps, but not like...in your dorm or anything.” He currently didn’t have any fire seeds in his greenhouses, but maybe he would add them?

However, the boy continued to talk to him about his mother.

“We do not hug like you hug,” he replied. “If I have made your… ‘dreams come true’ by just existing in the same space at you,” and the boy got a rare Thereos smile, “You are easily made happy.” It wasn’t necessarily a bad trait to have, either.

“Ah, I knew your mother.” Thereos smiled again and bowed his head at the child.

But the smile didn’t last long. Somehow, the human had managed to melt his bucket. Orion’s Belt, this boy must be a handful for his parents! “I will go get Professor Myers,” he patted the boy’s shoulder and trotted off to the next cave and gave the professor a little tap. “Professor….we have a slight meltdown happening in the other cave. And not a figurative meltdown. A literal meltdown.” Centaurs prefered to speak in literal language for the most part.


And when the centaur appeared, Paul knew SOMETHING must have gone down in Cave #1 because LOL why else would he rush over to come get him? “Okay...okay…” and he left Thereos to supervise over THIS cave while he raaaaaaan to the first cave.

And Paul was an older man who was not in shape.

So, lots of panting.

His only regret was that he was doing so with a bunch of metal on. He would have been willing to take it off should Theroes have wanted to return the hug, however. But...seemed that was not the case. SIGH.

Child though? Should he had been a little louder when introducing himself because...his name was Derf. "Do centaurs not hug?" he asked innocently, looking up at the LEGEND in SHOCK. Blinking a few times, it took an uncomfortably long time - for Thereoes at least, surely - for the request to be processed and honored. He wasn't upset or anything, no hint of a lower lip wibble in sight, and swung his arms awkwardly by his sides. "Fank you for making one of my dreams-s-s come true...even if centaurs-ss don't like hugs-s-s much."

He was juuuuuuuuuust about to go 'back to the lesson' - because who was he to argue with a centaur?! - but he felt the need to explain just WHO his mum was. "S-S-She was a Ravenclaw a loooooooooooooooong time ago...but als-s-s profess-s-sor fere! Taught Herbology when you did Divination...and was the Gryffindor Head of House ...OH! And Deputy Headmistress too!" he explained with a chirp before heading back over to his bucket.

OH OH OH OOOOOOOOOOOOH! OPPORTUNITY TO HELP CHARLOTTE WHO HAD HELPED HIM AT THE FEAST WITH THE DRYING CHARM!

"I KNOW I KNOW!"
he said, flailing his arms in the Gryffindor's direction to make sure she knew he was talking to her, his helmet falling off in the process and rest of his borrowed suit of armour clanging together. "We need to do a...Chawdens-s-sis-s charm on our buckets!" He paused for a moment and looked at his own where it rested on the ground. His helpfulness had been fleeting. "I'm not so good at charms-s fough..."

Still...he got his wand out and began to practice the wand movement over the top of it in silence. The wrist movement was kind of hard but...he thought maybe he had it...maybe...

"ChawdenS-S-S-SiS-S," he said after a few moments of hesitation, giving the charm a proper go over his bucket and...

.............eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer. ..... o_____o

Peeking up in a bit of panic just in time to see that they were MOVING to another cave...the first year glanced down at the metal pool on the floor of the cave that had once been his bucket.

Well...one could not argue that he had not heated it, right?

...........right.

So...er...he didn't have three seeds...so that meant he had to stay in THIS cave, yeah? If he was taking the professor's words seriously - something mum had told him he SHOULD do - then that was the case.

So...he would just stay here...and admire his metallic pool on the floor of the cave.


…….he saw it as soon as he entered the cave BECAUSE IT WAS A BLOODY METALLIC PUDDLE ON THE FLOOR.

hfiufgheufgeuyfgeruyguygUYGUFOGERUFGERUFYGREUYG

Derf...how in the world did you manage to heat your bucket up THAT MUCH?” he asked, and he raaaaaaised his eyebrows. “I happened to bring an extra bucket…” he held it up. “But um…” What to do about the melted one. Um.

Um???

“I will...figure this out…” Should he….siphon it up and put it WHERE???? But...he merely blasted the puddle with a freezing spell. It was frozen, now, but the cold also made it officially harden. So he picked it up [probably looks a bit harder than that, but the general idea]..it was puddle shaped….

And he LAUGHED.

A LOOOOTTTTT

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAAAAHAHAHAhahahaHAHAhhAHAhaha!

“M’boy...I want you to decorate this for me so I can hang it up.” He held it up above his head. “It’s beautiful, really,” he winked at the boy. “You can use my bucket. Do be careful with this one.”

And it seemed Miss Kettleburn had a question, too!

Yeahhh.... nope. No clue.

Char sidled up closer to the professor and gave him a hopeful smile before admitting,

"Professor? I... I got distracted by Thereos's super cool bow and I don't know what we are doing, I'm sorry! I didn't pay attention!" Confession for you Professor Myers! Eeep!



“Well FIRST you need to practice the Chaudensis Charm..” he gave his wrist a twirl in a circle. “And..then you need to ACTUALLY do it...on your bucket, pick THREE seeds from the tree WITH GLOVES ON and then...go in the next cave and plant them. The rest of the instructions are in there in my FIERY letters.” Suspended in the air so they could all read them. “Dig a hole, take some of the soil from the hole and place it in the bucket with the seeds so the soil will warm instantly...then, dump it all out back into the hole. Once you do that, you have to boil some water and pour atop the new planted seed.” That was the quick and d----quick and...quick and EASY???? Way of putting it.

Ahem.

“Got it, Charlotte?”

Merlin, Paul rubbed his face. Children. They were wonderfully chaotic.

Etta frowned, trying to remember what the professor said. To dig a hole first.. the girl looked around for a bit before finally finding an empty spot a few feet away. Okay, so. Trying not to appear really uncomfortable, because she really didn't like this part, she quickly followed instructions. See? There was a hole now. She peered into it before picking up a little bit of soil she had just dug out and dumped it into her bucket. That was easy, yes?

Now, moving onto the next step. To dump the contents of the bucket into the hole.

Rooney wanted to scribble down the instructions himself, but he really didn't have the access to the notebook stored in the back of his trousers that he quite required for it. He followed Professor Myers into the second cave and listened carefully to ensure that he knew exactly what he was supposed to be doing even if he wasn't constantly looking at the instructions that would obviously be provided. Myers wasn't the type to provide fire writing instructions for one part and not the other. If so, Rooney would be picking his brains about WHY on Earth he would do that. Rip off.

But Myers was good and they did have access to instructions continuously. Which also meant that the students were all working at different paces and they were being allowed to. His favourite kind of lesson. Being able to work on his own and perfect his work to the point he was completely satisfied with it. And he supposed that the quicker he got his work done...the quicker he could offer his help to anyone else that needed it - although Rooney did not want anyone to need his help, he would much prefer to sit back against a cave wall and wait out the rest of the lesson.

As he set down his bucket in an area that wasn't sparsely populated with students, Rooney sat himself down on the floor and placed his wand at his feet, ready to use it when he needed to. Because he would need to. "All we do is dig, so we can hide hide so we can dig dig!" He whispered as he tucked his gloved fingers into the ground and started to dig out a hole for his seeds. The final handful, however, he tossed into his bucket to join the seeds and heat it how it was supposed to. Luckily, he was just going to wait here and finish out the song he had been singing quietly under his breath the entire time he had been digging.

"Quick before the hyena come!" Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas. This was the song of a winner. Or the song of someone who was really bored with his own thoughts and needed something to help him out of the funk he always seemed to be in. He watched the soil in his bucket with the seeds for a little while longer before dumping the bucket contents back into the hole, soil and seeds together. The dump was accompanied with a loud "HURRAY!" before he moved on to look back at the list of what he was supposed to be doing. Boiling water. Psh.. Couldn't they have used the fire seed bushes in the other cave to do that instead of casting ANOTHER heating charm? Time saving, really. "PROFESSSSSOOOOOOORR MYYYYEEERRRRRRRRRS" Did he have his attention yet? Actually, where was the white haired fox going? HEY PROFESSOR MYERS NO NO NO EXCUSE YOU COME BACK HERE RIGHT NOW. Although, Rooney had only wanted to tell him that he had missed his lessons and to grin at him.

After a huff at his shortcomings and a cheeky grin about an idea he had, Rooney picked up his wand from the floor and pointed it into the empty bucket. "Aguamenti!" He secured enough water in the bucket that he would be have just a little more than he needed...unless heating the water made some of it disappear. That was a thing. He moved his wrist alone, still a little annoyed how much concentration that alone took and cast the Chaudensis charm on his bucket once more. "Chaudensis!" And sat...waiting.....for his water to bubble...and bubble....and boil....and oooooooooooh the steam was so fascinating!!! SO FASCINATING. Steam was definitely one of his favourite things to watch, but he didn't have an exact reason for that.

Had anyone realised that they were all witches and wizards, sitting around a boiling bucket of liquid? This was pretty much potions. Except it was just water and hE WAS GOING TO GET BURNED. "OOPS!" There had only been a few spatters of water and his bucket was big enough to keep the spits in it, but for a milisecond, the Prefect had definitely feared for his absolute life. He had plans, you know. Rooney Bronwyn was going to marry the Gryffindor girl in his life and they had totally already named their two children. And he'd worked all of that into his ten year world domination plan post graduation. Watch this space... In his distracted thoughts, Rooney had poured three quarters of the water from his bucket over the area he had recently dug out and refilled.

"Groooooooooow seedlings, grooooooooow." And as per the class instructions, Rooney gave himself a high five -- and laughed to himself about how that was just a clap, but he couldn't BEAR to embarrass Professor Myers more than the man did himself. Still his favourite Professor, though.

"HEY PROFESSSSOOOOOR????????" Oh wait... he wasn't here. UGH. Roo used the end of his wand to draw a circle around his PRECIOUS area and then hurried back out of the cave and into the other one. This. Was. Important. And...apparently so had been the disaster that was happening in here. At the sight of the melted bucket and Professor Myers' request for the student to decorate it, Rooney HOWLED with laughter. "Show me how you did it!" Only because he wanted to do exactly that and use it in a gift. Always thinking of others, was this one.

"Professor Myers! Nice seeing you here. Come here often? Long time no see. Hello stranger. All of the previous, plus hey hi I have a question." Did the man already want to knock the annoying out of the Ravenclaw? This was only going to make him want to more, really.. "SO. I've been thinking -- a dangerous pastime, I know!" Hah, wasn't he just classic? A real funny man. Comedy was unlucky that he had chosen musical theatre over it. Although there was some comedy in that, but not nearly enough to capitalise on the talent of the one and only Rooney Alexander Bronwyn. "Can I put some sort of sign here? Stone, so it doesn't burn. To say that it's mine. In case you bring other students here after I'm gone. I bet you'll be able to fence it off and sell opportunities to see my handiwork one day." Especially when he was big and famous and Professor Myers was a mere memory.

Much love, Myers.

Oh good, okay. "Got it. Thanks Professor!" Junia gave him a double thumbs up and then got straight to work. First on the agenda was finding a good spot, one away from her classmates. She wanted to spread the fire seed wealth, you know? Give the cave the opportunity to really glow from all over and that would only happen if the bushes were spread out a bit.

Setting her bucket down next to the location she'd settled on, the third year got to work on digging her hole. She set aside the soil beside her bucket and once she was satisfied with the depth, she scooped that soil right into the bucket and over her fire seeds. Not wanting them to be in shock from the sudden coldness of the soil, her gloved hands turned the soil over and over, hoping to speed up the warming process. There, that should do it. She could feel some heat even with the gloves on, so she was in business.

Now next was dumping the soil back in the hole, yeah? She looked around to be sure and then did just that. Welcome to your new home, little fire seeds. It seemed like it'd be a good one, which she was happy about. After checking to make sure the seeds were adequately covered, she decided it was time for the water. Yes, water was next.

There was really no excuse for how far behind Elle had gotten, aside from the mere fact that once they’d gotten into the first cave, and she’d seen the fire seeds, she’d merely looked at them in awe. Just the idea that these had managed to survive in the cave without any of them knowing. It was entirely possible she’d gotten a bit overloaded as to all the information she’d gotten about the plants, but she’d snapped back into attention when she’d heard the laugh coming from the professor, as well as the comments from Rooney as he’d apparently returned to the first cave.

Setting her bucket on the ground, she pointed her wand at it and performed the small twist of her wrist that she’d practiced earlier. Time to catch up, it seemed. “Chaudensis,” she cast, sending glances over at the others still in the first cave even as she’d begun carefully selecting seeds from the bush nearest her and placing them in her heated bucket. Three seeds safely in her bucket, and she lit her wand to move to the other cave, sending one last glance over at the professor as she passed. She just hoped there was something that told her what to do once she’d gotten to the other cave. The only thing she was positive about was that she assumed the seeds couldn’t cool down.

Thankfully, she caught a glimpse of fiery letters once she’d arrived in the second cave, moving around to an empty area not taken up by other students digging. Okay, she thought, making note as to the instructions before she set her bucket on the ground. The one question she had was why the buckets wouldn’t heat the ground underneath them enough to just plant the seeds in their locations, but she couldn’t exactly ask. Instead, she gently dug a small hole and placed the loose soil into the bucket with her seeds. Stirring the soil lightly with a finger, she felt it heat up. Once that was completed, she scooped the entire contents of the bucket into her hands and transferred it to her hole. She assumed that at the least, one seed would take root. Smoothing the warmed soil down, she sat back on her heels and turned back to her bucket.

Filling it with a small amount of water was simple, of course. A quiet Aguamenti casting and there was maybe a couple inches of water in the bottom of her bucket. Shifting her grasp on her wand, she cast Chaudensis one more time, setting her free hand on her planted seeds to make sure they hadn’t cooled too much. Maybe she could use body heat to keep them warm while she waited for the water to boil. It was worth a try, especially since it wasn’t going to take long for the small amount of water to boil.

All she’d have to remember is to move her hand before she poured the boiling water onto her seeds.

SUMMER FOREVER

Etta emptied the contents of the bucket into the hole. Okay.. so this wasn't that difficult, at all. In fact, she was really starting to enjoy this lesson. This professor was fun, the class was fun and most important, she'd gotten to see a centaur. How exciting was that?! EEEP. The best thing to have happened in Hogwarts so far.. for HER.

Pulling out her wand, she pointed it towards the inside of the bucket and muttered. "Aquamenti." She watched the water fill up quickly. And it needed to be hot, yes? Etta pointed her wand at the bucket this time. "Chaw-den-sis." She said, accompanying it with the proper hand movement. Was it working? She peeked into the bucket. Hmm, the water seemed to be boiling hot! Tucking her wand back inside the pocket of her jeans, she carefully poured the water into the hole, hoping that it wasn't too much water. That's it, yeah?

Etta placed the bucket on the ground, and honestly, couldn't help feeling a small sense of accomplishment. Ahem. Now, she just stood, waiting for further instructions.
