Tori entered the Herbology final with quite a pep in her step. She settled down to take the theoretical portion of the exam, her quill flying across the page as if she were a professional scribe. Once that was done, it was on the practical portion.

Tori made certain her gloves were on nice and tight before she started anything. She eyed the fanged geraniums and wished they were just a little... nicer, and not so snappy, because then she might consider growing some at home. Come to think of it, as long as they didn't eat her pygmy puff, she might grow them anyway. Heh, why not... they could make a great gift for her evil stepmother. Yessss....

With that cheering thought in mind, Tori flicked her wand at the ducking and bobbing geraniums, casting, "Viro Torpeo!" as she did so. The first geranium was hit by the spell right away, and it froze in mid-snap. Awesome. Tori started to reach for its fangs when the second geranium saw what she was doing and went in to try to bite her.

"Oooh no ya don't!" the redhead murmured, quickly withdrawing her hand. "Viro Torpeo!" she cast on that one too, and then on the third geranium as well for good measure. With them all frozen in place, Tori quickly got to work gently yanking their fangs out. They sure made a satisfying POP! when they came out. Whew.

She placed the collected fangs into the provided jar as she went, and just as she finished with the third fanged geranium, the plants all woke up from their little stunned slumber. Ah crap, how was she supposed to trim them now?!

"Viro Torpeo!" the redhead cast again, once on each little plant so that they froze in place once more. She knew they couldn't bite her, obviously, but she also knew that she might accidentally chop an entire geranium down if they kept moving around like that.

She got to work trimming them next, deciding to use her wand as a trimmer with the aid of, "Flipnsnipwitit!" Hehehehee. Tori loved this spell. She trimmed the fanged geraniums into nice, tidy little flowers, and then went on to trim up their leaves and such as well.

Tori tidied the trimmings into a neat pile and deposited them on the compost pile. She came back to finish up with her plants by fertilizing them. Ugh, the hippogriff dung smelled horrid but whatever, it was all for the good of the plants. With that done, Tori hurried to water them before they all woke up and just as she finished casting, "Aguamenti!" on the last geranium, all three in her planter were animated and lively as usual, still biting at the air even without their fangs.

"Thanks for the stuff!" she giggled at the plants, shaking her jar of fangs at them as she waved bye. She made sure her work station was nice and clean, which it was because Tori cleaned as she went, and then she headed over to the professor.

"Here are the six fangs I collected, Professor Bentley," Tori said kindly, handing them over to her. She paused, and then gave the professor a surprise hug, much like she had done for Scabior. Only the BEST professors got hugs though. "Thanks for some great, fun lessons this term! Have a nice summer!" Tori smiled and then skipped out the door, as happy as she had been when she entered.
