It was absolutely AMAZING! Seren beamed proudly as the students rattled off a whole list of care requirements. Diligently, with the aid of a bit of magic, the black board erased its previous notes and replaced them with new ones.

A few students earned themselves frowns or scowls... namely Elijah who seemed to think not setting a plant on fire was considered as caring for it, as well as Serenity who seemed to be under the impression that a plant could be ugly. Pfft, as if that was possible. They were ALL beautiful.

Then again, some students received looks of shock or confusion. What with Serenity and her theory of exploding plants, as if that would ever happen in HER greenhouse... unless it was a puffapod. And Ethan seemed to be under the impression that she had a kneazle. Nope, but if she did it would be properly trained. As for Oakey's response... "They ALL deserve and require love and care. Would you apply the same theory to humans, or even to yourself?" ... yeah, think about that one!

Seren looked over the list that had accumulated on the board. She was particularly fond of the last one... well done Captain Skylar.

"Very well done," she finally stated after all answers were shared. "There is always something WE could be doing to ensure THEY are treated better. The list is endless and cyclical." This was the beauty of the natural world.

"For the rest of the lesson, we'll be breaking off into teams and and administering this care. For those of you pruning, only dried stems or leaves, or on the woodier herbs a couple of inches from the tips."

"For those of you fertilising, use hippogriff dung in this greenhouse...."

"And for those of you weeding... make sure to don't rip out anything other than weeds."
Or else.

"And those of you staking plants so that they don't fall over... make sure you don't accidentally stake yourself... or a peer."

With two flicks of her wand, the list on the board shifted and moved to form four. One for each house.
