Professor Phoenix was sitting outside the greenhouse today, enjoying the early morning sunshine as the first students approached. She nodded at them, waiting outside for all students to arrive. "You may go in already," she said and smiled.

Bitten · 06-29-2004, 06:49 AM

*smiles at Professor Phoenix as she LOVES Norandolas and continues adding notes to her notes*

Riiya · 06-29-2004, 04:38 PM

Riiya looks up and turns to Bitten, shaking her head frantically. Riiya raised her eyebrow and as she nlinked she saw something fly over to a corner of the back of the greenhouse...

"Wow, what a cool plant! Will we get to grow our own in class?"

~*Keni'sGirl*~ · 06-29-2004, 09:59 PM

Professor what is the Norandolas used for?

phoebe_phoenix · 06-29-2004, 10:05 PM

Quote:

"Professor,does that mean the Norandola's are like mood rings? is that its purpose?"

"I guess you could illustrate it like that. But keep in mind that mood rings--non-magical ones at least--change with a person's bodytemperature. Ceci, does that example help?"

Quote:

"Professor if you can't tell this one is a male how can you tell a male plant from female plant. When you look inside the flower of a non-magical, you see the two organs, called the stamen and pistil. It is the stamen that are the ovaries that turn into fruit if it is a bloom on a apple tree. So how do you tell if this Norandola is male?"

Professor Phoenix smiled mysteriously. "You'll see," was all she said, and she also shook her head at Nadia's assumption. "No, no, no. They have their own gender."

Quote:

"Definitely gross* So, I guess there's no counter-spell, right?"

"I guess you could use Impedimenta to a certain extent, to make something slow down. But a real counter-curse: No."

Quote:

On the other hand, is there the possibility of the plant only perceiving the emotion you were feeling *only* when planted? Say, I'm depressed right now and I plant it and it gets to be *gray* of something, but then, the next day I'm happy; will the plant change color/shape/etc?... if this was the case the Legillimency-potion idea would fail completely...

"No, it is *at* the moment, Nadia. It reflects your inner being, the more you are around the plant, the more accurately. And, yes, that is why a lot of research is being done on Norandolas: Humans, as always, want to control this power they have."

Quote:

"Ummm...Professor? When is the Vitaris spell used? I mean, in what professions and such...do normal wizard gardners use the spell?"

"Yes, it is a pretty common spell for gardening. As you saw, it's quite useful."

Wayfarer · 06-29-2004, 11:07 PM

Andrew sits waiting for Professor Phoenix to tell the class more about the difference between a male and female Norandola.

"Will we have homework this lesson Professor"? Andrew asks as he thinks about his Quidditch tryout plus his other lessons and homework.

Gryffindor Goes for the Cup!

ronslilpyro · 06-29-2004, 11:26 PM

Feesha bent down over her parchment and jotted down everything she had learned about Norandola, she then thought about what her Norandola would be like.
She waited for Professor to answer some of the other students questions

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! · 06-30-2004, 02:51 AM

Nadia tried to think hard but nothing seemed plausible.

"I give up!" she said. "I had not have the slightless idea why that Norandola is like that!" Nadia sounds pretty dissapointed; this might be the very first time she has no answers... or at least no theories

"I am also interested in the answer to Keny's-girl's question about the utility of the Norandola."

Nadia finished sounding quite humbler (sp? =P) that she could have ever sound like... no anyone that knew her at least

MerCY_bLAcK · 06-30-2004, 06:44 AM

* raises her hand * Proffesor you said that the Norundolus plant originally originated from the moon, but how that is kind of impossible because there is no life on the moon. I was wondering if maybe the Norundolus plant was like a Lunar flower. Is it?

What does the Vitaris spell do?

Bitten · 06-30-2004, 01:10 PM

*turns around and looks at Zimpe and whispers*

hey

the vitaris spell speeds the growth of things such as that Norandola. Initially it was a seed but now it's a plant.

*turns back*

"Yes, but it should be fun."

"I am also interested in the answer to Keny's-girl's question about the utility of the Norandola."

"It's quite a secret--the Norandola is still being researched on. We'll get back to that later, don't worry."

Professor Phoenix looked at her thoughtfully. "I don't know... in which aspect?"

“Now, we will be planting the seeds shortly. I ask you to all come forth and collect a pot and some soil from under my desk and then return to your table. Since the seeds are best if they haven’t been touched by too many people, I will give them out to you by levitating them straight into your hands.”

She stopped and thougt for a second.

“Oh yes, and don’t forget to poke your seed shortly with your wand! As the wand choses the wizard, this is very important. It’s no spell or anything, just prodding it lightly and the seed should get warmer and start shining. Then put it into the earth. Copy down exactly what to do before planting them and I will preform the Charm to make them grow faster, once everybody is ready. Don’t forget to copy the instuctions from the board."

There was a great scramble of chairs and feet as the students got up to fetch their pots. In the meantime, Professor Phoenix was writing the instructions on the blackboard for them to copy down.

1. Fill pot with soil, making sure that there is air inside and it is not all squashed down. The plant needs the soil to be loose so it can produce roots easily and breathe.
2. Take seed (make sure it has not been touched by too many people) and prod it lightly with wand. When seed gets warmer and starts glowing, put into the soil about two inches above the bottom of the pot.
3. Make sure it is covered fully (!) with earth.
4. Growing normally (no spells, enough water, light, soil and warm temperature) the plant should take about a week to be fully grown.

"I'll give you the seeds once you are all seated again.”, she added.

Alex Granger · 06-30-2004, 04:48 PM

alex walks up to the Professor's desk and gets her pot ans soil the returns to her seat.

serenasnape · 06-30-2004, 05:10 PM

Serena stands up as the Professor levitates a seed into her hand. After sitting back down, she gently prods her seed with her wand. "It really is getting warm, and ooh, its shining!" She wants to watch it longer, but follows the instructions, planting her seed in her pot and covering it with just the right amount of soil. She then quickly writes down everything before she can forget.

fairladyHermione · 06-30-2004, 05:14 PM

*Cordelia returned to her seat. She quickly picked up her quill then began copying down the instructions.

1. Fill pot with soil, making sure that there is air inside and it is not all squashed down. The plant needs the soil to be loose so................................................ .................................................. ................................with earth.
4. Growing normally (no spells, enough water, light, soil and warm temperature) the plant should take about a week to be fully grown.

*After completing her note, she received the seed into her hand. She gently placed it on the palm of her hand and carefully study it.

Wayfarer · 06-30-2004, 06:20 PM

Andrew begins to copy the notes and slowly his parchment fills with:

1. Fill pot with soil, making sure that there is air inside and it is not all squashed down. The plant needs the soil to be loose so it can produce roots easily and breathe.
2. Take seed (make sure it has not been touched by too many people) and prod it lightly with wand. When seed gets warmer and starts glowing, put into the soil about two inches above the bottom of the pot.
3. Make sure it is covered fully (!) with earth.

After he finishes he moves his notes to the side and places the planting things on the table in front of him. He moves to the front class to accept his seed from Professor Phoenix. He returns to his seat and follows the instructions.

Riiya · 06-30-2004, 06:33 PM

Riiya walks up front and picks up a pot with some soil and then tries to go back to her seat as she squeezes through everyone else...

She places her pot on the table and took out her quill and wrote:

After she finished, she placed her quill back and took out her wand from her robe...

ronslilpyro · 06-30-2004, 06:39 PM

Feesha copied down the instructions, and then got her pot, she fillede it up a little wih soil and then she then received her seed and proded it with her wand. "this is so cool its glowing and getting warmer, she then poured the soil over the seed.

"this is cool"

spacepirate4 · 06-30-2004, 06:57 PM

Jill scribbled notes into her notes parchment, then got up to retrieve a pot. She filled the pot nicely, careful not to pack the soil in with her hands.
"There we go," Jill thought as she brushed any excess dirt on her palms into the pot. She quickdrew her wand from her side, waiting for the Norandolas seed to be handed out and noting to practice quickdrawing her wand while sitting later - it poked at her sides when she fumbled for it.

Mike_The_Mighty · 06-30-2004, 07:07 PM

* writes down all the instructions and then pokes the seed after he recived it with his wand and planted it loosely 2 inches from the bottom. *

quidditch_chick · 06-30-2004, 07:57 PM

Kali takes her quill and scribbles down the instructions in her notes before getting a pot and some soil. She then does the first step making sure there's air still in the soil.

"Take seed and prod lightly with wand," she says quiety to herself as she does it, "when seed starts glowing and glowing put into soil, okay," she continues saying as the seed glows.

Kali continues doing the instructions until the seed is fully covered with soil. She then jots a few more notes.

Aschere_Tonks · 06-30-2004, 07:59 PM

Aschere takes quick notes, bullet-pointing the various steps. She walks up to Professor Phoenix's table, picks up a pot, and fills it with soil, amking sure she doesn't pack it in too tightly. Once she's carried it to her table, she comes back and waits for the Norandola seed to be levitated onto her palm.
