Melanie wondered if the 'fibrous coat' around the black seeds were used to stuff pillows or whatever. It seemed like it was possible but not particularly comfortable.

Height. She hadn't thought of that. Would they all be wearing tall shoes for it? "Professor, are we all going to fly on our brooms to get the pods?" she asked after raising her hand. Because that was possible. Or they could use a ladder. Ladders would be nice too.

"Professor if we are using magic I would say brooms could work, but maybe a ladder as well." Did wizards use ladders? She still even at 16 found herself mixing up the two worlds, but a ladder could work.

Then she put her hand up again, "Once we get up their do we use a spell to get the seeds out." She knew at times they pulled out the seeds, dropped the flower to get the seeds, and then used magic at times, so there could be any response.

So how to get up there indeed. They could use magic carpets, but those weren't allowed. But they would be so much easier to float in the middle of the air and sit and take the seeds out. So Lexi raised her hand. "Professor we could fly up there using brooms...or magic carpets even though those are illegal I think. And Lexi wasn't about to break any laws, but she had valid reasoning so she would explain it to the class. [b]"Because wouldn't it be easier to float on a flying carpet in front of the Umbrella Plant thingy and collect its seeds because you can sit more easily on a flying carpet. A broom would work also, but it would be easier with a carpet I think."[b] So there was her valid reasoning.

How to beat the height issue? Well the first year only really had one idea, mostly because of the fact that all of her immediate family had gone to a Quidditch Academy. "We could use brooms to fly up and pick the seeds?" the pure blood offered, though it sounded a lot more like a question.

And she didn't realize that some people in this class might be muggleborn or not be able to fly.

Brooms.. well that was fairly practical, for a proficient flyer, which was maybe a quarter of them...
"Good, brooms can definitely be useful in situations such as these, though considering the space restrictions, flying isn't the safest method." Solo or in groups...

SPOILER!!: Levitation Stuffs

She had no idea the importance of these umbrella pods or why they were called Umbrella pods...It would be different if they grew umbrellas.

She just shrugged and glanced up to the plants again.

Raising her hand she asked, "Would a levitation spell on ourselves work? Or possible catapulting students then using impedimenta and wingardium leviosa as a way to control their trajectory and levitation levels work?" She asked careful not to sound too strange. Even if she was going to sound bonkers no matter what she said.

Because on one hand, if they grew their own food, they would be saving money. On the other, if they sold these, they might could make the Hogwarts money back in one fell swoop? Either way, they would have to figure out how to get them down. "A well placed Wingardum Leviosia? Float someone up there?" Sounded like a good idea to her.

She grinned proudly at Bentley when she got a nod and tossed her gloved hand up in the air again when her next question was asked. "What he said." She gestured over to the general vicinity of West's voice and kept speaking, trying not to look because she'd probably get distracted again. "The Locomotion Charm, maybe? It could move people up there, or get the non-snargaluffs down here."

Non-snargaluffs. Or umbrella flowers. Same difference.

She agreed with the ideas of getting the vines to bend downwards somehow, to to levitate everyone up higher, so she raised her hand and said so. "Professor, I think we could levitate ourselves up into the air to get them, or," trying to think outside of the box a little bit, "We could stand on our chairs and cast engorgio on them to make them bigger and therefore raise us up higher and higher." She was pretty sure that would work, even though it might not be the best way. And having giant chairs in the room would be sort of...cumbersome.

Umbrella flowers. Her grandmother totally had those planted in her indoor plant sanctuary. No wonder why they were really familiar right? The name itself already had a ring to her. It did look pretty you know, because it was gigantic and had nice colours. Totally made Kat forget how awfully dirty the dungeons were. Even if the greenhouse had soil and stuff, it was way more cleaner here than her common room. Like... waaaay tidier.

So... how do they take them done? Kat wasn't too sure. Maybe give it a try. It wouldn't hurt, right? She might even be right and stuff. The prefect raised her hand. "A simple levitation charm could work," she said. "Or maybe the plant itself would just lower itself." Cause that would be cool.

Hand-raising. "I don't know about everyone else...but I'd like to accomplish this on my broom." Blink. "I can balance better on it than on the ground, honestly. Surely it'd work for something like this."

The young girl smiled a fake smile to the teacher and nodded, her time would come eventually...

The young girl made quick a mental note what the name of the plant was and listened to what the teacher was telling, she wanted to prove that she would be good at this lesson so that she could get what she wanted, even if she needed to get her hands dirty and that was something she REALLY hated! Sonea looked around her and shivered, she knew that if she wanted to be good at this lesson she needed to touch some of the dirty things she saw here, there was sand everywhere and she shivered now that she realized that there were also probably worms in the ground, worms, spiders and all the things she hated were here in this greenhouse and if she wanted to prove herself then she needed to ignore her fears and... Sonea sighed, this was hopeless...

The young girl shivered for one last time and started to listen to the teacher and thought about the question she had asked. She stared at the plants who were hanging high above them and narrowed her eyes. “We can maybe” Sonea paused and frowned, thinking of a way to come closer to the plants. “Someone can use a Flying Charm on a chair and sit on it while the chair would fly toward the plants… It’s easy and you can sit while you’re working!” Sonea was proud now that she had spoken, she had read in a book about the spell and she thought that it would be handy sometime!

AND JustAlice

Levitation, it had its merits.
"Again, great ideas, in theory... but remember we need to consider hazards and safe or appropriate methods." At any rate, she wouldn't trust a single one of them to levitate her up... let alone allow them to levitate each other. They'd end up falling out of the sky and breaking their legs... or plants... or something.

SPOILER!!: Tobias

A human ladder?

"Oh Merlin no... there are far better ways." Far more comfortable ways.

SPOILER!!: Ella

Stretching Jinx, now that was out-of-the-box thinking. "Stretching could ahve its merits, but you would still need to consider the hazards and potential consequences should the jinx go wrong."

SPOILER!!: Zeke

"Yes, that's a good idea... though this isn't a potions class, so we won't be using that method." Still, it was a good idea.

SPOILER!!: Laura

"Growing spell, stretching jinx... yes they're not bad options, but we do need to consider the potential hazards with those." Particularly with a room full of students... who may or may not ave used the spell previously.

SPOILER!!: Theo

"Yes, we will be using the severing charm, though not from such a great distance." Distance was not wise, it meant there was a greater opportunity for error.

SPOILER!!: Summoning

Honestly, the puffapod/umbrella flower debate was fascinating, even though she knew it was going to end eventually, and she kind of wanted to just get to sketch the big flowers over their heads. It was either that or go back to thinking about her little biome from last term, as she hadn’t been about to speak and just repeat everyone else.

Before long, the debate was over, and she’d gone back to wanting to draw the umbrella flowers. She’d returned her attention to the lesson as it had continued, however, and raised her hand after some thought. “Could we use either a version of a Summoning Charm or Locomotor to get the vines to come down to us, so we aren’t worrying about levitation or anything else that might mean risk of falling?,” she suggested. Not that she had anything against levitating up there, or even trying to scale the plant like it was a tree, especially since she was free of the cast from the summer finally. She was just figuring that it was school, and a lesson, and maybe that meant they had to be more careful. If Hogwarts was low on funding, they probably wouldn’t want to deal with angry parents wanting repayment for risking their children’s lives.

Peyton stared up at the umbrella flowers. Huh. It almost looked as if a fluffy bear was stuffed inside those seeds. Huh, huh, HUH. After staring for quite sometime, Peyton raised her gloved hand to answer the question. "Teamwork. One can magically lower the plant while the other one extracts the seed from the vine," she said, then lowered her gaze to Professor Bentley. "The Summoning Charm wouldn't work, would it?" Just curious.

Griiiiin.

Summoning charms.. not bad, not bad at all.
"Great thinking, though summoning the pods or the seeds had the potential to cause harm to the plant." And that was something they wanted to avoid.

SPOILER!!: Ladders

Ladders.

Practical, sturdy, fool proof... unless you were completely uncoordinated and/or cursed.
"Yes, absolutely. Ladders, particularly when secured with protective charms, are often the best and safest methods of gaining access to hard to reach places."

Withdrawing her wand from her robe pocket, Seren gave it a quick flick toward the other end of the greenhouse and waited for the slow moving enchanted ladder to join them.
"Now unfortunately, we only have one ladder," because the school was broke, and even this one was only on loan/borrowed/stolen from her mother, "... so I'm going to need one volunteer to reach the pods."

So... any volunteers?

OOC: The lesson will continue once we have our volunteer (;
