Another question. Good. The kids were actually thinking about what he was thinking rather than just being a copy cat. Good to know. Andrew's attention was now diverted on the Gryffindor with the question. He waited patiently with a blank face until the boy got the pronunciation correctly without thinking to correct him. Why would he? The kid was more than capable of doing that himself which he eventually proved to be true.

Not really the kind of question that would have cheered up the man, but was there even such thing?

"It certainly can," He nodded. Pause. "Though, it will have to performed before the tomatoes are picked. Like on the plant and not the fruit," Did that make sense. He stared at the boy trying to read his facial expression.

He'd been watching everyone practicing and casting the spell. Some weren't doing it accurately but most caught up with their mistakes and were working on it. He saw no one who absolutely messed it up. So all was good. And it seemed about time he introduced them to the real and final activity. All this had been build up. He preferred taking his time preparing them for whatever the final task was. He trusted they were now capable of handling it.

"Alright, that will be enough practicing," He announced then fell silence for a moment or two until everyone dropped what they were doing. "I trust now that you have enough information on how to deal with sick plants, the types we talked about of course," Assuming they were listening and writing notes down. Or you know, looking at the blackboard that had everything on it. He'd not covered everything on the topic but that would take much more time and he intended to focus on the basics today.

With one final wave of his wand many pots of plants appeared just when they usually were. The Greenhouse looked the same with the plants back except for one fact. ALL the plants were NOT healthy. He'd obviously hidden them before because he did not want to deal with students being like 'oh professor! This plant looks weird!' all lesson long. Eh. He'd rather not deal with reactions and all the dramatic reactions. "As you will notice," He spoke up again after giving them time to look around. "Those plants are sick and need to be treated, " Duh. "There are plants with yellow or holed leaves, or droopy, weak posture. Everything that we just talked about," He motioned around. "Some might look healthy but are really small which means they have been stuck like that for a while and need a boost," Cue the spell he just taught them.

"What you have to do is, treat as many plants as you can like we just learned. If you find that you do not know what is wrong with a plant just leave it and look for another. Do not take risks," He did not want to lose plants when he could treat them all. But he supposed a practical practice for the kids would be good for the future. For them at least, he was not sure about the plants. HE was taking a risk, or so he believed. "Whenever you treat a plant, I want you to grab a nametag, from the cupboard, write your name on it and stick it to the pot of the plant you just treated. Do not treat a plant with a name tag already on it. And do NOT write someone else's name." He was going to be watching ALL of them. "In addition to that, grab a parchment write your name, house and year on it and log all the plants that you treated," Was that too hard for them to do ? Hopefully not. He wanted to keep track of everything and avoid any situations where hooligans might want to set someone up for something.

Was there anything else? Oh, yeah. "In the cupboard you will find pesticides for the diseased plants and fertilizers for the weak ones." He'd only provided one type of both that would be suitable for the plants to make it easier. He of course diagnosed them before and eliminated the hard to treat ones. "One final note, it is possible that you will find dead plants that can no longer be treated," A moment of silence for the deceased ones.

..

Done.

"Off you go," Showtime .

ooc: This is the final activity. You will need three posts to get full credit on this. You are more than welcome to make more. What you have to do is simple, just have your charrie walk around and treat plants. They could be in need of trimming, a pesticide, fertilizer, more sunlight, watering...etc. Your charrie must treat at least two plants. More is certainly okay. Do not set anything on fire, not unless you want to see a very angry Andy! ~~he's been nice so far. believe it or not~~ I hope everything is clear, if not please ask me! =) You have about 48 hours to complete this. Andrew and I will be around. HAVE FUN!
