She was still trying to wrap her mind around what had happened, what was happening, and what more needed to be done.... especially now that she had sent for the cavalry.

Lux's familiar voice alerted her to the girls arrival, but there was no immediate response as she still sifted through her thoughts. A mental checklist of sorts. It was only as there was a set of arms around her that she returned to reality, and returned the hug Lux had been kind enough to afford her. "... it's dreadful, just, dreadful..." she was officially hating winter now. "Thank you for coming so quickly," she managed a small smile, patting the Hufflepuff on the back as she withdrew from the hug.

"I suppose we should get down to work." The others had already made a solid start.



It wasn't long before more friendly faces showed up despite the nasty weather to pitch in, and Seren gave Leah an appreciative smile and nod. "I know you will.. you're all remarkable in that way," she admitted, her tone soft with admiration. Needless to say, the task move moving them all didn't seem so daunting in the end.



In fact, considering the promising group that was assembled, and her darling Lion Zander, things seemed to brighten just a smidgen. Not so dire. Not so dire... "Zander, you're a darling," she trilled, placing a hand on his shoulder before passing to inspect the flowerbeds. A challenge right there.

His exclamation behind her alerted her to his actions, "lift with your legs, not with your back," she cautioned, "though I'd give mobiliarbus a shot instead, conserve your energy... we'll be making a few trips."

But as for where the delivery was to be made... "The room just off it... where they used to hold dueling club meetings." He knew the room, no?



In all the ridiculousness and the crushing crushing sadness of it all, she managed to crack a grin and even chuckled a little. It was so hard not to when Kyroh was so cute. She could imagine her son having a spark like he did... "I'm counting on it Master Scabior," she mused with a solitary nod. "But you won't need to worry about being eaten..." they were, seven greenhouses away, and she ought to get to them first to sedate them. Just another thing for her to-do list.



Turning on her heel slightly so as to face Cris, she nodded to confirm his suspicions. "Yes, please... we have plenty of pots in the stores cupboard, but some will require engorging for them to be big enough...." root space, was essential for survival, even if it might be cosier in a smug-fit.



"My word it is soooo good to see you, Penelope," she clapped her gloved hands together gratefully at the Ravenclaw's arrival. "Would you mind assisting Cris in collecting some empty pots from the stores cupboard and making a start on digging up the plants from the flower beds please?"



And more help! HALLELUJAH! They would all be saved!... or most of them would be at least. And that was a start.

"Thanks for coming, Simon, I appreciate it," she started, greeting the Slytherin warmly. "Perhaps start by moving the potted plants to the room off the Great Hall... the one that was used for Dueling Club some time ago. The others are going to pot some of the plants from the flowerbed, if we can have them moved to the castle as quickly as possible that would be appreciated."



And wasn't she just a sight for sore eyes. "Arista!... Miss Royal!... Arista!" Seren greeted her little Lion warmly, pulling her into a hug... purely because she needed more hugs to cope with all this. "We could do with another re-potter if you're up for it, the plants in the flower beds will need to be moved as well... alternatively you could help move the already potted plants into the castle. There's a room off the Great Hall that I'm commandeering."




"If you can fill that barrow then perhaps grab another student to help you magic it to the castle," she suggested, not wanting to give the girl too great a task.

And speaking of tasks... she needed to put measures in place to organise anyone else who might how up.

It took her barely three seconds to summon her black board, and once it wheeled into view she flicked her wand at its surface and cursive words neatly formed there for all to see.
